Sounds Homesick to me!

Sounds of the Modern city; I have become aware of another factor that contributes to the homesickness of our Myanmar Shwes’. It’s the sounds of the city that are so different too.

The sounds din of the MRT, the tones of the mobile phones, the beeps of handheld Play stations.

All of these small little things matter in the long run and build up the stress that is translated by the brain to represent home sickness.
So sometimes just go down to East Coast Park and listen to some Myanmar music on your MP3 or IPod, it should take care of that longing for home or it will make things worse!

Full Blast! on the MRT!

Singapore, 11 Thursday 2008: Today on my daily commute to work today, which takes about 45 minutes and 25 minutes on the MRT (Singaporean Train), I couldn’t but help hearing music; ‘its my life; Bon Jovi’ on full blast through his IPod earphones. It was so loud that I bet that everyone within a 2 meter radius could have heard the song. And he wouldn’t hear anything unless his pants were on fire, because there would be no way he can hear anything. I suppose that he would already be half deaf.
