this morning
i had an interruption of yummy sleep
and was rudely awakened
by the damn-shrill-dat-its-so-frikkin'-irritating hostel fire alarm
at 9 am on a SUNDAY MORNING!!!
arghh..



----------------------------------------


9.00 am:
thinking it was just the normal 5-minute-alarm dat sumtimes happens,
i just shut my eyes and planned on continuing 2 sleep.


9.07 am:
dammit! bising!
open my room door,
take a peek outside,
no sign of life at all.
return to bed.


9.15 am:
damn thing is still making a terrible ear-splitting racket!
dah mule cuak.
is there really a fire?!
pull back my curtains, open the window.
take a look around and sniff the air.
nope.. nothing suspicious or out of the ordinary.
open room door again, still a dead corridor.
close door.
start staring around the room.




9.20 am:
still staring around room,
making a mental note of what 2 grab,
in case i hear people running down the corridor.
(though i am fully aware dat we are not supposed 2 grab anything but our bodies in case of a fire)

result of mental note:
1. a backpack with
- laptop and external hard disk.
- iPod.
- a Jeffrey Archer novel & a David Baldacci novel that i just bought
yesterday, and haven't gotten around 2 reading yet.
- a folder containing all my important documents since birth.
- some decent clothes coz i dont wanna be seen running around in
inappropriate sleeping apparel.

2. a small overnite bag with all the handmade cards and notes
from mubin & everything else dat he has given me.
(try 2 sumbat as much as i can!)

3. wallet

4. handphone

5. car keys!

( sadly, no mention of clinical books or equipment. at all.)

9.25 am:
open door.
still a dead world out there.
contemplate whether or not to start grabbing stuff.
suddenly thinking:

" this is silly!! evryone else is not panicking.
some are probably still snoring through the whole ordeal.
i think i'll just go take a shower.
that way, if there really is a fire, i'll be fresh to start running.
and that'll be one less thing 2 stuff in my backpack."

9.30 am:
in the shower.
la-dee-da.
suddenly,
silence.
...
..
.
GREAT!!
just when i decide 2 shower,
datz when the damn thing will quiet down.
should hav known...

well.
maybe its a sign.
a sign telling me 2 get my ass out of bed early on a sunday morning, for once, to study!!


or......
maybe not.
since im blogging rite now.

so,
no.
its not a sign.

DAMN.
