It’s the sound of happiness
How do you unwrap a present? Do you rip it into shreds in nanoseconds, ecstatic to get to its contents? Or do you carefully loosen each folded corner, savouring the symmetry of how it was wrapped?
If one’s gift unwrapping style is a personality test in itself, we wonder what can be said of Generation T honouree and thespian Oon Shu An’s approach. The actress has taken the process of unboxing to another level—an ASMR level to be exact.
What is ASMR? It stands for autonomous sensory meridian response. The ASMR movement has given rise to a rapidly-growing community online, where everyday sounds like brushing of hair are recorded to trigger tingles down listeners’ spines—not as the soundtrack for a Halloween party, quite the opposite: for relaxation.
