It’s not fun to be a girl out loud

Yesterday was a rather stressful day. I had to talk loudly for many hours not because I was at a very crowded and noisy place. I had to raise my voice to be heard above the din. Did you know that talking loudly uses a lot of throat muscular strength? I didn’t either, until yesterday.

I felt like one of those frogs in my garden during the mating season – the males have to croak ever so loudly for so many hours during the mating season. They must have been worn out too. I started from 9am and a few hours into this, felt as though my throat was running a marathon and the Finish Line is so far away, it is not even in sight. I felt like quitting but had no choice but to press on until I get to the Finish Line at 9pm at night!

Thankfully, at 5pm, I was able to change location to a new cybercafe at Iluma. Iluma is a new shopping mall in Bugis. I still had to talk a lot at this new place but it is so much quieter, I didn’t have to strain my voice. It turned out to be quite pleasant after all.

I’m now about to set out for another day of talking out loud at the original location yesterday and to tell you the truth, I am dreading setting out. It’s like climbing Mount Kinabalu in Sabah and every day, you find yourself back at the starting point. Meanwhile, check out the new cybercafe on the Sky Floor (fancy name for top floor) of Iluma.
