Several people, several minds

I found it interesting that everyone feels defferently about the sound even if it is the same sound.

For example, I do not mind if music is going or television is on and I can hear the sound while I am studying. I can still concentrate studying most of the time. I do not mind if someone takes shower and I can hear the sound of water running while I am sleeping in the middle of the night or early in the morning. I can still sleep confortably. I do not care at all. I dont consider those sounds as noise. But some people do hate hearing those sounds while they are studying or sleeping. Although I dont care about those sounds, I do care sound of people chatting alot and traffic noise.

I started recognising these thing, how people feel about the same sound, since i came here living with many people coming from different countries and culture background. And now i think there is tendency that people consider as noise depends on the culture and where you are form. What i found is, no evidence though, that Western people more likely to hate the sound of the water in the night time or early morning but Asian are not likely to. I will keep on researching on this topic and tell you the findings.

shoooooooting star

On my way to go home on the other night, I saw really long shooting star. It was shooting for like 2 or 3 seconds. At the first sight, I couldnt tell what it was because it was too notaml for UFO but too fast for a palin. When it dissapeared, i recognised that it was a shooting star. It was that long.

I used to like looking up the sky and looking for shooting stars. But I ve never seen that long shooting star. In Japan, we believe that if you can wish your dream three times in your mind before a shooting star dissapears, your dream will come true. It's kind of impossible because it is hard to just find shooting star, how can i wish my dream three times. And even though i had a chance on the other night that i could wish my dream three times, I missed wishing my dreams, thinking about what it was.

Homesick or what

I called my grandmother & father yesterday. After I left from my family, I recognized how important they are to me.

But my family is quite strange I think.

I have older sister. She is married and has one son. She got married and gave him birth last year. And guess what? I knew that the fact she got married after she had got married. And I knew that the fact I became uncle after my nephew had been born.

NONE of my family member told me ANYTHING about her marriage and baby boy. I remember I couldnt even got suprised because I was just struck dumb with astonishment.

I havent ever called my father, sister, younger brother even once. They never called me either. So I only talk to them when I go back to Japan, which is once a year.

I dont know what to talk on the phone. And they dont know either. I can tell cuz they are my family. Since I reached puberty, I fogot how to talk to them eventually.

But now, after I left them for two years, I want to talk to them. I'm interested in them cuz I dont know much about them. What they think, their personality and all sorts of things are very new and fresh to me!!
