A Moment Like This

Wake up to the alarms

Don’t you just hate it when you have to drag yourself from bed to shut off the alarms? Well this morning, I woke up and walked across the room to my phone. I use my phone as an alarm clock and I place it as far from my bed as possible.

To my surprise, I found that the phone was not the source of the noise. So, I thought it must be the other guys’ alarms (I rent a shared room). I listened for the source of the noise, to ascertain the direction from which it was coming from. But none of their alarms were ringing. That was very weird, but I finally concluded that some other bloke living in my building is going to be late since the alarm was still loud and audible. I then ignored it and went on to prepare myself for class.

Do you know, I later realized that the noises sounded familiar? Like those toy guns that had the irritating 2 or 3 tone noise which changes in sequence. Well some people are just plain inconsiderate. Letting their alarm go on and on like that, it’s a pollution of the morning tranquillity. What’s more, this particular fellow was using his/her car alarm. Tsk tsk tsk.
