Inspired by the children's book Polar Bear, Polar Bear What Do You Hear?, I thought I would list the things we hear daily as we explore Singapore.
"Elyse (E-lee-sa), hi, hi"
Our neighbor greets us as we head out for the day.
Buzz, Buzz, Ding
Elyse pushes the button to the elevator a couple times and then it arrives
"Hi-low girl!"
We are greeted by one of the ladies who cleans up around the condo.
Rumble Rumble
The garbage cart drives buy.
A dog barks
"woof, woof" Elyse answers back
The sounds of traffic
Ding, Ding
A bike rider politely tells us he needs to pass.
The MRT rumbling by
The sound of a jackhammer
Our MRT station is going through some improvements.
Buzz- "Going up"
Getting into the elevator and going to catch the train
"Attention Please. For your safety please stand behind the yellow line. Thank you." "(same thing in Chinese)"
The warning in a nice voice as we wait for our train.
Beep, Beep, Beep "Doors are closing" "Next station Boon Lay"
The nice lady on the speaker again tells us what we need to know and we are on our way.
This is what we hear as we start most days. In between there are questions from Elyse, birds chirping, and more greetings. What do you hear as you go through your day?
