I'm too smart to be waken up by your average alarm clocks...

EDIT: My new alarm clock position - pictures say a thousand words XD
Can you see it?




Can you see it now? =D

















As some people already know, I can sleep anywhere and anytime. So, sometimes its extremely hard to wake me up even if you bodyslammed me (like what Kee Peng did), poked me (like what Chung Kent did), or even activated my alarm clocks.


Okay this is what happens when I fail to wake up. Your average alarm clock normally has 2 buttons, a snooze/light button and an off switch which is harder to press. Somehow, every time the alarm rings, I turn it off instead of snoozing it.

This morning, I wanted to wake up for football. As I slept pretty late, *cough*3.30am*cough* I set 3 alarms to wake myself up. First off, is the conventional bell ringing alarm, which is so loud it could be heard by the neighbours. Second alarm is the digital ringing alarm. Lastly, its my multi-purpose handphone. First to ring was the digital alarm. As expected, I sub-consciously turned it off, eventhough the off-switch was behind the alarm clock. Second was the bell ringing alarm. It was loud enough that I woke up, and press the snooze button consciously. Finally, when both my handphone and the snoozed alarm rang together, I woke up to bath.

Sometimes I wonder if there are people like me out there, and turns out, there is!! That's why they invented these nifty gadgets:

The 10 Most Annoying Alarm Clocks
#10 - Climbing clock

It hangs above your head and starts climbing while it rings. Don't wake up fast enough, and you won't be able to shut it up without a ladder.
So that's the reason I see a ladder in your bedroom... XD

The winner is the hide and seek alarm clock. Once it begins to ring it falls down to the floor and finds a random place to hide. Chase it down or else you're doomed.
This was created and designed by a group of university students and was featured on the Discovery Channel as an innovative invention.
Now just one problem, where can I get me one of these? XD
