Sounds of Water

29th of October, 2011 Saturday


People once ask me, how do you cheer up when you are feeling down or depressed. Like a lot of movies, girls like to go shopping or eat until you are satisfied. But i never met anyone like that before. For boys, they just linger around anywhere with their buddies or go to have some gaming session. My answer to the question, it stunned that person.


I told that person, I like to hear the sound of water flowing. It really had me when i first felt the easiness and calmness that comes from the sound. I could just feel the water slowly flowing down, hitting anything that obstruct its path. You could hear kulu, kulu sound. Its just so fun and different sound could be heard. Fast moving water, slow moving water, falling rain drops and a lot more. It just can't stop to amaze me.


The first time i feel it was when i was really down. Because of stupid exam. I went to the bathroom and thoroughly clean through the whole bathroom with a brush. I opened up the tab water and let it flow into the container then just let it overflow. I started to hear the sound of water hitting water in the container. Again, different sound when it overflows and hits the ground. After that you hear the sound of water rushing down the bathroom hole. Even without realising I wasted one hour inside the bathroom, enjoying the feeling and keep on cleaning the bathroom.

I started to enjoy more when i go waterfall. The sound was so energetic. Splashing sound of water, hitting the rock, its just amazing. I can sit at there, listening and relaxing my mind. It is more fun when you dip into the water and hear those sound. The heavy sound underneath the surface. Its like drums are being hit inside the water. Dulup, dulup and the sha sha sha sound of waterfall. you could experience a different world inside the water. I wonder if there was any sound recording device that works in the water. I never met one of those device.

I had fallen more deeply for those unique sounds when i could hear waves after waves hitting the sand beach or those hard rocks. The sound came at a same interval. You don't need any special hearing device to hear it at the beach. The waves are so strong, its like a continuous music in my ears. From high to low when the waves hits the beach. The dripping of water off those rocks after hitting by those big big waves.


I wonder what it is like when everyday waking up, hearing those sounds as if your house is on the beach or beside a streaming river. It would just make a great start to my day i guess.
