Waking up was never so “easy”

Waking up early especially on a Monday morning, is an universal problem next only to the 10 plagues unleashed upon mankind. We invented the Alarm clock and still we invented the ’snooze’ . Ever wondered why? If an alarm clock is to wake you up, why does it have a snooze ? Apparently, the morning inertia is so much a factor that we have such features built into clocks we get these days. Yes, quite nice, quite useful, but often a loophole ! How many times have you snoozed your way back to sleep ?? Read on for a collection of interesting Alarm clocks on the market, you can’t snooze your way out !

1. The Flying Alarm Clock

This one has a propeller that flies off after the Alarm. The Alarm wouldn’t go off until you fetch the propeller and fix it back on. Cool!! but I recommend covering the clock with a cloth ;)

2. Puzzle Alarm Clock

This one has a puzzle that breaks and flies off. You will have to put back the puzzle together for the alarm to go off ! This one is recommended only for the geeks !

3.Coffee pot Alarm Clock

This happened a few days back. 3 of my friends and I was scouting though the malls of Singapore, presumably to pick some winter clothing, for a friend leaving for Norway and Germany. Its a funny story how the shopping went …….after 3 hrs , we didn’t buy anything! There was a mini art exhibition on one of the floors of the mall. It was of water colors on paper and the artist was right there, along with a helper woman who would explain the art to the onlookers. Dejected that we didn’t buy anything , we strode aimlessly into the art lanes. One of our dudes, raks , saw a painting and started yelling “mongoose mongoose”.The woman standing there was shocked! and volunteered to explain the art, which was Chinese characters shaped in the form of a rat to signify the year of the rat. True, it did resemble a rat and in no way a mongoose! after a few minutes of art education, our dude wanders to an other painting, only this time he screams “rat rat”! The lady is again stunned – she said – “no no no…its a Man!!”. We cleared the place immediately!
