I bought a pair of Shure earphones 2 months ago, but I don't usually use it cos I just don’t have time to listen to mp3 much. When I travel to work, usually I'm reading tabloid news; or if I'm at work I just kept working and hardly put on music; and if I'm home I'll just turn on tv or get on internet, hardly really have a chance to put on a earphone and listen to songs.
In fact this pair of earphone is really good because it goes straight into your ears and just totally blocking ears with the outside noise. There was one time that I had my earphones on and that was like the first time I really put them on on MTR, I finally experience that I really couldn't hear a single word from the mouth of this woman who was just standing right next me. The feeling was very strange because I guess I kinda start knowing how does a deaf person feel. And the other thing is that I felt kinda insecure.
When I put those earphones up and couldn't hear the surrounding, I couldn't hear what ppl next to me are saying. In fact, I know the person speaks nothing about me, and I thought normally we just wouldn't care what other people are talking about especially you don't know these people. But at that very moment I did feel insecure. I don't understand why our sense of security will have links with 'hearing', and why I would want to hear other people's voice even though I won't listen to their content.
And right now, I'm in the office, I am having lots to do, work is getting crazy, and I just wanna get away from it. Sudddenly, I thought of this pair of earphones. So I put them on, feeling I'm just working by myself, I blocked myself from the outside world, don't want to hear anything about problems that colleagues are facing, I just want the clock to tick faster so it gets to 6pm asap and I can run away from it.
I just realised… this earphone can be a shelter… can be my temporary resting place. . very strange!!!
