Dad: Now you don’t want to say, you always say your right, end up what happened, don’t want to talk.

Reflection:

I think the thing about Dialogue session is that it actually lets us think about what people say. And how people would actually react. Basically, due to the modern advancement in technology, we actually tweet about stuff and use facebook wherever we can. We don’t think about what we say and it just comes naturally to us. Therefore, this dialogue excercise actually make us think. Truth to be said, it’s a little easier to actually not think about what we say and just do what we feel like.

Dialogue:

Ok.. Here’s the thing.. When I recorded this, My mum was in LA and my dad was in Tokyo. So, it might sound abit airy at sometime.
