Fish Tales

My life in Singapore Taipei. And then some.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

That’s my least favorite sound of the day.

It’s when “Morning Greg” spends the next few minutes trying to convince “Nighttime Greg” that things need to change. The conversation usually follows the same script. Mornings arrive too quickly. Enough staying up so late. Need to be more considerate. An agreement is reached.

But, things never change.

“Nighttime Greg” continues to be an inconsiderate jerk to “Morning Greg”.

And, “Morning Greg” has no defense.

Except for today.

The unexpected happened.

An extra hour of sleep.

Sometime during the night, my mobile phone switched over to an Indonesia telecommunications network. At least that’s where TELKOMSEL is located.

Why? Good question. Just because I can see Indonesia from my condo doesn’t mean I want to roam on their network. Thanks SINGTEL.

Because of the network change, my phone automatically adjusted time zones. Indonesia is an hour earlier.

So, my 6:15 alarm became 7:15 in Singapore time.

And, “Morning Greg” enjoyed the extra hour of sleep. Guilt free.

Apparently need to get a real alarm clock...
