Have some fun...
Recently I have started a habit and a good one too. That is...studying at the block lounge.
For all that have no idea what iz zee louhnge, iz zee plaz where everyOne can go tzoo, iz haz air-con, a televission zet and, of Cohze, couchez foh yew to zit on.
And it is in such place where the study environment becomes conducive. Oh yeah, it is also conducive for another thing to, especially during hot days, Snoozing. I must admit that I am guilty of snoozing there too. Not too many times but more than once. Nonetheless, I wish to clarify that my somnolent state has nothing to do with laziness. It has, however, everything to do with pressure, tired eyes and late nights.
Ahh but who would have thought that dead serious study sessions could turned out to be such fun. *Evil chuckle*
The story starts here:
It all happened on one fateful evening. Everyone was drowsy with facts and formulaes. It was very, very quiet in the lounge, only the hum of the air-con unit was audible. Otherwise, it was perfect silence from everyone.
In my humble opinion, it was probably at that point where everyone were toying with the idea of a short nap. It was a flawless setting for one even if you would like to disagree. Unfortunately, this was not meant to last.
The silence was broken with a small Zzzzzz. Immediately, everyone looked from their books and started to look around. Turned out that one guy had fallen asleep, in a most cosy manner, occupying a whole couch by himself. His mouth was open and that was the reason the sound was produced.
"Zzz..Zzzzzz..ZZZzzz"
It became louder.
Everyone in the lounge was giggling and covering their mouths, trying to stifle a huge laugh. You could see fleeting expressions of seriousness as everyone tried to concentrate on what they were doing while chuckling away. We waited for the snores to stop but that did not happen.
My friend, however, had the idea of recording this particular scene and he snuck out quietly to get his viewcam. Moments later, the deep slumber and the loud snores were caught on tape [memory, in modern terms] He also poked the snorer on his ribs but, alas, he continued to sleep. There was not even a twitch or any other reaction.
Another fella was even worse. Ya you know who you are. Hahaha...He had the brilliant idea of startling the sleeping fellow so he would jump or maybe scream while it was being recorded. Since I was in a cheeky mood, I agreed to shout with him.
On 3, we shouted together. But the guy was a fat disappointment. He did wake up but there was no other reaction, Again! He just sat up and looked at us with the most blurrest expression one could ever expected.
Deed done, everyone went back to their books, an attempt to study that's laced with moments of smiles and giggles as they recalled that moment.
A light moment in times of examinations and deadlines. But, darn, I sure wished he had done something dramatic. Maybe someone else will fall asleep tomorrow. I wonder who....
