I have signed up for a golf open! *grin* So, my colleague and I went for practice at the range yesterday. I always drop by to chat with my coach even though I have ‘graduated’ from the academy. So last night, I wanted to get some tees from my coach and so I waited for him at where he was teaching. He has a bunch of new students, all ladies with nice nails art and HIGH HEELS! Worse still, some even wore a skirt with their Guccis and LVs mounted on the bench. As they giggled and moaned, my goose bumps grew all over my body and up to my scalp.

Luckily soon after that, my coach came to me and gave me a bunch of tees. I quickly made a move and looked for the furthest spot from them. Man…I just can’t bear with girlish giggles.

When this advertisement was shown on the TV, I thought it was a scam that tricked kids into buying the ring tone. Obviously, it is not. Listen to this. If you can hear a high pitch buzzing noise, congratulations, that means you are still young (below 40 years old).

My students played this ring tone during the lab. Suddenly I saw most of the the students frowned and some “stuck” their index fingers into their ears. Then my student asked me:”Cher, you cannot hear??” Me: “Hear?? What?”

My students laughed and said I was old. “Yeah, I know I am old..so?”

“Cher, if you’re above 40, you can’t hear this noise, this buzzing noise…”

“You mean, there was a buzzing noise??”

I took over his mobile phone and started playing the ring tone again. I saw students sticking their fingers into their ears again. The first thing that came to my mind was…They were playing a trick on me! There was no such buzzing noise.

So I stopped the ring tone and pretended that I was playing it. To my surprise, my students said I didn’t turn on the ring tone. Suddenly, it reminded me of a dog whistle. Its frequency is so high that only dog can hear while human can’t. Hah! So I am not a dog!

Today, my colleague forwarded this ring tone to us and asked us to try. Man!!! I can’t hear it again while others were replying that they heard a high pitch buzzing noise!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME??!!! AM I DEAF OR WHAT? I went around to try this out to all my colleagues. Guess what, those who were above 40 years old, indeed, heard nothing!!! The younger ones said they heard a buzzing noise. One of my colleagues, who is from Applied science replied this:”The number of auditory hairs in our ear DECLINE as we AGE…”

So now I know…I am just losing hair…
