My Wonderful Alarm Clock

What is the definition of a good alarm clock?

One that serves it purpose? Yes, of course, but you see, there are so many other factors involved.

I define a good alarm clock as one that not only produces a loud ringing tone, but the tone must be irritating as well.

I have been using my mobile's alarm function for a long time, and I always select music that sounds irritating when it gets increasingly louder. Makes me want to get off the bed to press the "turn off" button, and in the process, since already roused from my sleep, might as well just wake up and start preparing for work.

Recently, my alarm clock seems to have lost that ability to irritate me into waking up. When it rings, I hit on the snooze button and continue sleeping.

Kitty got me a new alarm clock.

It's really, really good in serving its purpose.

Every morning at 7am, it will auto slap 2 pieces of ice cold cotton pads onto my eyes. These ice cold cotton pads are enough to make any heavy sleeper stir from his/her sleep. Best of all, they also help to reduce the puffiness of whatever eye bags that I have.

At 7.10am, it will remove the cotton pads from my eyes and I enjoy a few mins of massage. It then switches off the air-con. For someone who hates still air, I start to feel a lil bit irritated and keep tossing from left to right.

At 7.15am, my mobile alarm clock rings. I feel even more irritated but continue sleeping. The new alarm clock turns off the mobile alarm clock and starts chirping...

"Dear qi lai le!!!!!" (dear wake up!!!)

*I remain dead to the world*

"Dear kuai dian qi lai!!! 7.15am liao!!!" (dear faster wake up its 7.15am!!!)

Arrrgh *I ignore and continue sleeping*

*Louder* "Dear qi lai le lah!!!! ni yao chi dao le!!!!" (dear wake up lah you are going to be late!!!)

Me: *feeling super irritated* "Hah nah hah nah" *I cover my ears with the pillow*

*Even louder* "you don't hah nah hah nah faster wake up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

MAnx... I couldn't take it anymore. It has such a horribly irritating voice that just won't stop unless I wake up.

So I finally get off the bed and start preparing for work.

See? Such a wonderful alarm clock.

Guess what's the best feature?

THERE IS NO SNOOZE BUTTON.

It just goes on and on, until you finally get off the bed.
