Familiar soundsall of us have some familiar sounds which our mind subconciously relate them to a certain action, isnt it? here are some examples:
On a sunday morning, you woke up with the sounds of pots and pans and chopping sounds from the chopping board, and you know that your mum has woke up early on a sunday morn to prepare a sumptous lunch for the family.
During evening, you recognised that particular footstep made by heavy boots and you know that dad is back from work. (when we were younger, me and my bro used to guess whose footsteps are those along the corridor, sometimes we got it wrong and called our neighbour papa! haha)
From the sound of the way that the lock is opened and how the door is closed/slammed, you know who is back even you are in your room with your door closed. (My dad closes the door slowwwwllllyyyyy... while my kor always slam the door. now you know! )
Early in the morning, someone opened your door and go to your table and ransack your pencil case, you know that that day, your brothers are having exams that day and trying to steal some stationery from your pencil case! (yesh, both my brothers always steal my stationery, sometimes even the whole pencil case!)
From the sound of the footstep and the way your room door is opened, you know who is coming into your room without even turning your head.
now as im typing, i heard footsteps coming into my room (my mum's!) and i know that she is coming to my room to steal my moisturizer to moisturize her face every night before she sleep (weird, my family sounds like a family of thieves! haha) and yesh! its her!
its pretty amazing how our daily lives is governed by the familiar sounds around us. even without seeing, you know whats going to happen. sometimes, i enjoyed the sounds of pots and pans, cause that tells me that my mum is home to cook for us and it makes me feel homed. sometimes, the conversation that my parents had outside the living room made me feel so homed as well. sometimes, the fighting sounds in my bro room made me feel brothers nv grow up (yesh they stil fight! oops) well, as you can see, i think im a v family person. i like to be at home, just home. =)
the reverse is true, when we are surrounded by unfamiliar sounds, our defense system starts to kick in. we'll look around and fearing that something will jump out in our sight!
just how amazing sounds work =)
PS: my mother is lying on my bed now. she is signaling to me that she wana chit chat with me! everytime she wana chit chat, she will gei gei come in and lie around. haha. okie i should be a guai nu er. bye!
