ALaRm

I have to confess I am panariod about waking up late for work/school/appointments/meetings. Which explains the presence of not 1 but 2 alarm clocks on the table just next to my bed.

The 2nd alarm is a buffer should in the scenerio whereby the 1st alarm fails to ring on time/battery died halfway in the night/stabbed the snooze button too many-a-times/haywired after I throw it a distance away at my disgust having to wake up.

And having experienced almost all of the above scenerios and having the trusty 2nd alarm clock on stand-by to jolt me awake, have successfully proven that it is a necessity for me.

I also have a tendency to set the first alarm 10 minutes early and the 2nd alarm true to the real time. Don't ask me why - am just panariod about oversleeping.

So what boils down to today's entry is the fact that the 1st alarm died on me at the grand time of 15 minutes pass midnight - which is exactly 10 mintues after I popped in to bed. Lovely.

I just have to thank heavens for my buffer alarm.
