Sunday Sound of Singapore - Doors are closing… Be happy happy

Sound on 🔈

I now know it doesn’t say Be Happy Happy but for the longest time I thought it did and that made me happy that I was wished a good day.

I now know it’s the Malay version of the English Mind the Gap. First in Chinese 請小心空隙 (qǐng xiǎoxīn kòngxì), then in Malay Berhati-hati di ruang platform (be careful at the platform area), and finally in Tamil (I had to do some research for that one!) தயவு செய்து தளம் மேடை இடைவெளியை கவனத்தில் கொள்ளவும் (Tayavu ceytu taḷam mēṭai iṭaiveḷiyai kavaṉattil koḷḷavum)

And the doors are closing… on my (last) Sunday Sound of Singapore.


~~Every city has its own color, smell, sound, and vibe. While I can share the colors through photography and sometime the vibe too, I thought I would try to share with you the sounds that are so specific to Singapore. ~~
