Inconsiderate or just blur? Part II

Now for the second installment of my neighbours' exploit at waking me up.

The revver

It's a great saturday morning and you thought that it's great that you do not have to go to work and could sleep like a log till the late morning. Suddenly, you hear the loud revving sound of the engine! Dragging your body out of bed and peeking out of the window, you see someone starting the motorcycle engine downstairs and keep revving as if the engine is not yet hot enough to explode! AND the thing that pissed you off is that the exhaust pipe has been modified giving off a loud sound when the monsterous adomination moves off. What a great day to wake up in! Bah.

On a side note:
Not too long ago (a few years back about 7 or 8), I heard a loud bang in the middle of the night at 3am and looking up at my ceiling, I saw red streaks of light. Waking up and looking down at the carpark downstairs, I saw a couple of bikes burning. Someone must have set fire to them and the arsonist was never caught. Not sure if he was pissed by the loud revving noise but I do indeed have some nights of peace and quiet though.

The boisterous kids

It's boring wednesday morning at 6am, although it's another hour before you wake up to go to work, you hear louding laughing sounds coming from across the window. Bah! As you sit up, you hear some kids chasing each other around the void deck at the opposite block. Oh bloody hell, I hate PSLE marking days!

The unwilling waker

It's now 7.15am and all of a sudden, you heard the loud handphone alarm ring tone of that stupid gatsby song. Scrambling to get out of bed to get to your handphone to stop it and to prepare for work, you stare at it in amazement and realise that yours is not the stupid phone that's ringing. In addition, you realise that you are too cheap to download any gatsby song as a ring tone. Then, the morning reverts back to peaceful as the gatsby song finally stops. You look at your own handphone and realise that IT's A GOD DAMN SATURDAY! Swearing at the owner of the gatsby tone phone's owner, you dragged yourself back to bed. After closing your eyes for 5 mins, the stupid gatsby tone starts up again! Luckily for you, it ends much more quickly this time. HOWEVER, the STUPID song starts up again after another 5 mins. The stupid idiot must have snooze his damn alarm. Thinking that you would never be able to sleep ever again, you waited for the damn song to start up again. HOWEVER, this time, nothing happens after 10 mins. Now, you are really pissed and curse every generation of the handphone's owner and finally sick of the swearing, you lie down and fell asleep.

Inconsiderate or just blur?

How strange are people in your neighbourhood? Now, I'm gonna share this wierd tales of the people in my backyard and I bet you would laugh at my silliness!! :P AND probably you see these kind of people too around you!

The elephant

It's 12am at night and you happen to live in a flat in multi-storey building stuck in a suburb and it so happens, your bedroom is beside the stairs... All of a sudden, you are awoken by a loud thumping noise beside you and you thought it's an earthquake! You rubbed your eyes and listened more carefully and what you hear is a loud stamping sound that's now fading into the distance... Oh bother! Just your neighbour coming home from work!

The 7-month singer

Oh yay, it's the weekend and you are finally gonna have some well earned beauty sleep but suddenly, at bloody 9am in the morning, you hear someone screaming and howling! Thinking that a robbery is taking place, you peep out of the window but saw nothing! Just when you are about to get back to bed, the howling resumes! Oh no, thinking that it is the hungry ghost festival, you start to pray to whatever gods that might happen to protect you in your hour of need to exorcise the probable ghost that might appear right in front of you anytime but you REMEMBERED that the sun is already shinning through your windows! Stepping closer to the window again, you hear the distinct sound of music and a loud rendition of some old hokkien songs. Oh well, there goes your sleep.

The mushy chatter

It's 11pm at night and you are about to turn in. As it so happens, you hear the trill ring of a mobile phone seeking its' owner's attention. Thinking that it's of no consequence to you, you turned off the light and lie down in your bed. As you close your eyes, the words "I love you dear", "Muack" and kisses start creeping into your ear. Holy shit, am I dreaming or what, this must be quite a lovely dream. But after pinching yourself and howling in pain, you realise that it's just your bloody neighbour whispering sweet nothings. Oh hell, you hope that the phone conservation would end early and lie back in bed. After some time tossing and turning and continuing listening to a lifetime worth of sweetheart's talk, you finally woke up and look at your clock. Damn! It's already 1am and you are supposed to wake up at 7am tomorrow. Now, you start to curse your luck and try your best to hypnotize yourself to fall asleep.

The carpenter/Pots adjuster

You are soundly asleep in bed. Suddenly, you are awoken by a sawing sound! Thinking that someone must be robbing your home, you sat up straight on your bed but realise that the sound is coming from outside. Taking a look outside, you happen to see your neighbour sawing on a wooden plank! Thinking that this would be a fast one since you see that his sawing is almost done, you went back to sleep. After 1 minute, you hear another grinding sound. Oh hell, what's wrong again you asked. You take a look again and saw that now your neighbour is pushing his pots onto the newly assembled shelf. Taking a look at your clock, you saw that it is 1am and it's a working day! Wondering what the hell is going on and is he going to stop anytime soon, the grinding sound starts again. By now, you are pulling your hair out in frustration and hoping that the bloody pots would just break and stop your torture.

Thus, ever wonder why people in your neighbourhood behave the way they do? Truthfully, I'm not sure. Sometimes, believing in the good of mankind, I think they might be ignorant of the inconvenience they are bringing to others. HOWEVER, it does seem that these are happening on a too frequent basis for me to continue believing in the good of mankind anymore. LOL.
