The alarm belts its unfavourable high pitch notes to signify the start of my day. The alarm bell's tone is pretty annoying, it never ceases to fail in causing me to wake up with a big jerk, ending dreams, if there were any, with a loud shriek.
Alarm clock tones are like car windscreen wipers, the older and more used they are, the less effective they become. Old wipers make the task of observing the road ahead on a rainy day an eye-straining affair. Unless of course you use silicon wipers which are claimed to last 3-5 years. I just ordered one a few days ago, i hope they deliver it on time.
*Dub dub* soft knocking on my room door, its my mum awake at 4.40am, she tells me that my neighbour from the 14th floor just got their place robbed. I was starting to think that this condominium was a pretty safe place, looks like I was wrong.
I'm sleepy now, less talk more sleep :)
