Do you sing when you take a bath? How about when you cook?

I am fond of singing and I usually sing not only when I bath but also inside my room. I feel that the sound inside the bathroom and my room makes my voice sounds nicer. But when I cook, I also love to sing. My mother would often tell me to stop or else I'll marry an old man. Lol. But of course, I don't believe it.
How about you? Do you sing also when you bath or when you cook? Why do you think people believe that when you sing while cooking, it is somewhat a bad omen?

Uh well don't know but yeah I often sing while I cook. Hmmmnnn maybe the bad omen is a bit true. But nope, I am never gonna lose hope 'Though I don't sing much now. I also love to sing even though my voice is not so nice. But now I think I have already stopped singing in the bathroom or while cooking. Well I also believe that singing inside the bathroom makes our voice really nice! I think I can actually imitate the voice of any great singers when I'm singing inside the shower!

Don't you think that when we are inside the bathroom, our confidence increases too? Maybe it's because no one sees us or hear us.

Yes snowhy, It really increases our confidence and feels like our voice is really great and powerful even when we don't sing out loud

Hello dodo19.
Thanks for sharing. Maybe you are more of a music listener than a singer. I started that way. But then when I joined a choir, I learned how to sing. Now, I sing a lot.
Have a great day!!!

Wow! You are next door to a singer. That's a good fortune. You get free entertainment all the time.

I don't sing but I hear my neighborer singing in his bath which is next to mine. I really enjoy his singing. He is a classical singer and most of his songs are classical and old movie songs. He sure is a entertainer and because of him I really enjoy my own bath. Thank him my lord.

Hehe. Reminds me of the old days. I used to sing and play in a band. I use my time in the bath and belt out a few songs to hear how my pitch is doing. It's not a perfect acoustic environment but the echo the bath creates enables me to distinguish where my voice sounds awful.

Hello wolveren.
I also did that when I was still a member of the choir. Not only do I sing, I also do some vocalization.
Lol.

I really do not sing while in the bathroom but while in cooking I just listen to mellow music. The mood of the music can also affect your way of cooking. But sometimes I would rather prefer silence while I'm cooking in order to concentrate.

Wow! It seems you really take cooking seriously. How nice it would be if I can taste your cooking.
Have a great day!!!

Haha, this brings back memories. I used to hum and sing ( well I don't call it singing though, it's more to talking gibberish in a melodious way xD ) while taking a bath. Not anymore though. Well, it really calm the mind. When I sing , I'm always in a good mood. Though, I just don't know why I would do so. I would ask myself after bath, why am I singing. But I never knew the answer. Anyways , I continue humming and singing while takin a bath. Enjoying life I would say? However, as I grow older, my singing habit slowly diminishes. I think it might be because I won't take a long bath. I just do a quick scrubbing and washing, and I'm done. So yea xD I don't sing when I cook though. Maybe it's because I'm not a professional cooker yet. I'm still worried about the food becoming charcoal black or so . So no time no sing hahaha! Thanks for posting this discussion. I got to recall some funny stuff XD

Hello Heixin.
It's good to hear that you enjoyed this discussion. You are welcome. I enjoy singing to but the same happened to me. Because of hectic schedule, I got to bath really quick. But now I am working from home. Though the income is not so regular, the advantage is I get to relax more and think more creatively.
See you around. Have a nice day!!!

Hello NailTech.
Singing is also a self expression. Each person has music within our hearts. You may feel ashamed to sing in front of the public but if you were given a gift to sing well, I guess you will be fond of singing in public too. Singing inside the CR is an opportunity for those who cannot sing really well to express themselves. Maybe that's the reason why many do such.
Thanks for replying here. May you have a nice day.

Well, I usually sing when I'm in the bathroom but in cooking, sometimes, I always make it to the point that when I'm cooking I should be happy or else, it won't taste good.. I have a belief that when you sing and you're happy you'll have a good income on your cooked food.. I don't know if it goes for others too.

Hello emdjay23.
I believe too that if you put your heart into cooking, it will taste better. Then singing while cooking should not be a problem. Maybe, the elderly just prohibit it so that our saliva will not fall on the cooked food. Hahaha.

When I was young, my mother would sing about the house. I think it's a wonderful thing to do...because it tells the people of the house that you are happy: You cannot sing and be unhappy; it's impossible. There is this wonderful classic song from the past caled "My Heart Sings" in which the singer speaks of all the things his or her loved one does to make him or her happy, and then..."all of a sudden, my heart sings". It's a beautiful song about pure joy about being alive and in love. I don't sing much about the house, and even though I've got a guitar, I don't play it much. It's a shame...maybe I should sing more; let my heart sing as it were, by remembering how blessed I really am.

Hello CarlHalling.
You should really sing a lot. It lightens the heart and it makes us feel happy. That is one way to unwind.
Good luck!!!

Maybe, it can be bad if you don't sing well. Maybe that's one reason why they say that you'll marry old people if you keep on singing while you cook. Just kidding.

Hello darekmr.
It was a long tradition but many don't believe on it anymore. That includes me. So don't worry. I keep on singing when I cook because I feel, when I'm happy, my cooking is much better.
Thanks for participating here.

Maybe you are not really fond of singing? For me, it makes me feel good. I found out that singing is also therapeutic for people with bipolar cases. One contestant in American Idol is bipolar and according to her, singing makes her feel good.
Thanks for sharing.

Hello aizabasiga.
That's right, it is very nice to sing inside the bathroom. It seems that the quality of your voice improves on small room and closed doors.
I'm sure your hubby enjoys your singing. I like it also when I hear my father sings while taking a bath. It tells me that he's in a happy mood.
Have a great day!!!
