Mmmmm.... Can you believe it?? Other day, I have doctor appointment, just for a check-up to see "how-do-you-do?" kind of crap. I have an interpreter there since I'm deaf but yeah, I wear hearing aids and lip-reading and able to speak almost like an hearing person that doesn't have deaf accent (no offense to those who does, I just have some kind of gift.) Truth is, I often doesn't want to speak because I'm too modest more than I want to admit as well, I couldn't speak if there's a good-looking guy and I couldn't face or approch to them, especially those who are hearing. Yeah-yeah-yeah, I know, I have no problem talk (signing) to good looking deaf guys or semi-good-looking deaf guy. Whatever.... I just don't have the courage and other times, I just don't want to speak because they think I'm actually hearing and didn't believe that I'm actually DEAF! When I am Deaf!! Profound Deaf, that's for sure!! I can't hear, period. Yes, hearing aid helps but not as good as "hearing person". Beside, having interpreter helps because some people are FAST talker that I can't understand at all... zip, nada...
*ahem* Ok, now, about the good-looking young man, who happen to be medical student (possible internship-like). He came in and the interpreter actually jaw-dropped!!! The medical student noticed and he chuckled. I just looked at both of them and I was kinda shocked but no jaw-dropping. Thank goodness!! He introduce himself and told us that he's medical student and etc. Sadly, I couldn't remember his name. (yeah, yeah, I'm lousy with names as always!!) I looked at the interpreter and then back to medical good-looking guy student. I finally work up my courage and made my decision to speak up (normally, I rather interpreter to speak for me). I talked... He talked... we talked... He's flirting.. Oh yeah, he was very interesting in me!! He told me how much he impressed that I speak so well and able to lip-read. Once in a while, I glance to the interpreter when I missed what he said or didn't understood that small part. He asked me what I normally do after my work. I told him that I spend mostly my time studying GRE. (for those, who didn't know, it is SAT-like but for graduate student who finished with Bachalor degree.) He said, "oooh, ya going to be scientist?" Oh my god, his tone of voice that he is really getting more interesting in me. I nodded. He asked, "Don't you mean SAT?" I told him, "no, it is GRE, I have finished with my Bacholor of Science in General Biology." then I added, "I'm considering master degree for Biotechnology." He got MORE interesting in me. I have no idea if I'm blushing or not but he certain asking more questions that isn't relate any of my health and etc. Just more of gerenal questions sorta like... dating type of questions that ya normal asking when ya out for date. Truth is, I fight my urge not to blush too much. We talk for quite a while then finally changed the subject... back to medical talk....but it is still alittle akaward.
After we are done, he bring the "real doctor". He and the medical student came in together and talk for a while and told what mediences that i need and etc.... Typical routine... When they left, I'm almost tempting to ask the medical student to stay and want to ask him "are you single?" but I didn't have the courage.
After few months, I have another "check-up" again. I was soo hoping to see that same medical student but NOT!!! However, I saw the same interpreter. She remember so strongly and remember ever situation. She said, "he's really flirting with you and he's really interesting in you" I blushed for real. She asked me if I remember his name. Unfortunely, I didn't. Seem like she didn't either. Oh well...
