For as long as I can remember, I have always been listening to music really loudly. Mummy & Kookie would always yell (cause that's the only way to get thru the loud music..) to me to lower down the volume. Despite her countless reminder from them about how bad it is for my ears to be listening to such loud music, I never really bother, I'd still listen to music as loud as possible, even while studying (it was a gift, I know)
When I started studying abroad I lost my "gift" and I can no longer focus while reading and listening to music at the same time. However I can't not listen to music while studying either. So bye bye earphones and hi playing music on the laptop :(
Now that I'm working I can't possibly play music on my laptop (because really, my clients & colleagues will not be interested to listening to Hindi movies..), so back to earphones! Btw, a day in the office w/o earphones is torturous. But I no longer play music as loud as I use to, because well, FOCUS!
One day while I was browsing YouTube during my downtime (lots of free time remember?), I discovered the Whisper Challenge. And it looked so fun! So Min & I decided to play it one day and it was really fun!!!
All those year abusing my ear drums paid off! I think I am excellent at lip reading.
And I would like to say, if Yasmin didnt say "last time ookay!" to me, I'd figure out she said fruits not food -.- CHEATER purposely enfored time limit on me suddenly (my fault also for not thinking about enforcing the limit back on her.. Told you she's extra competitive)
