loud annoying noise is part and parcel of sinkie life. everytime i visit sg, there's noise pollution everywhere. i get used to chinese funerals, malay weddings, indian parties, pinoy flocks, tiong throat clearing and spitting, crows calling, crickets chirping, insects buzzing, frogs croaking, radios blasting, kitchen pots crashing, cars honking, motorbikes beeping, phones ringing, tvs turned on at full volume. as a visitor, one will hear all kinds of noises in sg. the most annoying and nerve-wrecking noise that i cannot stand is from the ang mo permanent resident, a mr. jack hammer. he seems to be everywhere in sg, blasting away everytime i step foot in sg.
