Had such an amazing night on Saturday. Aman and I met with Winnie, an ex deaf student from SMK DPM and she introduced us to 2 of her friends. At first I found it a bit daunting being the only hearing person and not having a much of a scooby how to use sign language but I quickly began to pick it up and anything I was unsure of, we wrote down on paper.
