Midnight Mahjong Insanity

I went to bed early -- around 11:30pm -- as I always have for the past few weeks, only to have my sleep rudely disturbed.

My flatmate had her friends over and they were playing Mahjong like Tai Tai's (rich housewives) from midnight until 3am. My room is right next to the living/dining area and the staccato clackity-clack of the shuffling of Mahjong tiles kept interrupting my attempts to fall asleep.

It's now 4am, an hour after they've stopped but I still can't sleep. What pisses me off is that I've got work to do tomorrow (today, rather) for a site to be completed by lunch time. So much for a good night's rest. I hate it when my sleep patterns are disrupted like this because it just ripples through to the next few days and it usually takes a while to get back to normal.

Reminder to self, NEVER have student flatmates (when I move out middle of the year). Their eating and sleeping habits are just far too irregular.

Oh,no, you poor thing! I know exactly how you feel when I had flatmates who were artistes-wannabes! They kept on strumming the wrong chords and they were torturing my poor ears! I was, however still a student so I was still up at 4am doing work. But, yes, I feel your pain. STAY ALONE when you move out! :)

Huh! This sounds EXCACTLY like what happened on the train going back to Ipoh from Thailand! This group of peeps next to us talked so loud and played Mahjong from day to the dead of night! It's like they don't even CARE!!
