something hilarous & how to cook my speciality (bee hoon)

first, i will relate something hilarious that happened this morning. your mom definitely won't agree; according to her the moment i come back from australia, i am turning her world upside down.

for any event to take place, there is always an interplay of more than one factor. as you both know, i am the one who wakes everyone up in the house. so, i dutifully set my mobile phone alarm to go off at 5.20 a.m.

it went off correctly, at 5.20 a.m. i woke your mom up and she set about getting ready for school. i heard the 'winchester' clock chimed when the house door was opened. soon after i went back to sleep.

a little while later, the house phone rang. your mom asked: can you check the time. i looked at my watch. the digital reading: 4.15. then it dawned one me..i had forgotten to reset the time on my mobile phone. the time was melbourne's time.

which means your mom got up at 3.20 a.m. and at 4.15 a.m. she was outside her school gate. anyway, she drove back and caught an hour of sleep before she set off for school again.

so, what are the factors that were at play. first, i forgot to reset the time on my mobile phone. secondly, the 'winchester' clock was set wrongly. i had replaced the battery on sunday evening but i did not get the setting right. it was not supposed to chime before 6.00 a.m. thirdly, your mom failed to check with her bedside alarm clock.
