Groggy:
Hi, Sonia! How's your weekend going?
Sonia:
I'm feeling out of sorts this
morning, Grog. I didn't
sleep a wink last night.
Groggy:
Why? What's up?
Sonia:
I just couldn't fall asleep with random
thoughts hovering in my head until
all hours.
Groggy:
Poor you. Has it been for a while?
Sonia:
Since the beginning of this semester.
You know, the course of this semester is really demanding.
I have to dig deep to keep
each assignment up
to scratch. I am really worrying about my study, and
can't sleep well at nights. It feels like I've got insomnia.
Groggy:
Insomnia! Come on, it can't be that serious. You're just
having a hard time trying to keep up. Don't worry that much,
Sonia. Take it easy.
Sonia:
And you know. It's really embarrassing to
tell you that though, my flatemates have been telling me
that my snoring is getting louder; I can even hear my own snoring sometimes.
Groggy:
Ha, really! Then
it's a good thing that we're not flatemates, otherwise we
would have a snoring competition every night.
Sonia:
Yeah we could clear out the neighbourhood.... or scare out,
I should say. Anyway, you've got problems with snoring as
well?
Groggy:
Yeah, but it's getting better. My doctor suggested me try
to play the wind instrument.
He told me a research from Australia reported that playing didgeridoo can
help training the upper
airways, so does playing the wind instrument. So I
started to play the clarinet three
months ago. And it really works.
Sonia:
Woo, that's cool! Maybe I should try, or maybe I should see
a doctor as well. Anyway,
you look quite tired. How's your weekend?
Groggy:
I didn't sleep at all either.
Sonia:
What's the matter? Is anything bothering you as well?.....No,
nothing can bother you. You had a party
last night until all hours again, didn't you?
Groggy:
Well not me this time. But somebody did. It's the people
next door. They were really making
a racket;
with all that non-stop hip-pop music and people coming in
and out all the night. They couldn't
care any less about anyone else.
Sonia:
Why don't you go crook on them?
Groggy:
I did. But they just told me "What's wrong with a
bit of fun on weekend?" And then I said "it's already
midnight!" But
then guess what? A guy tipsily told
me over his pint that "The
night is still young, mate. And you seem a nice, but bored
lad. We've got grog, which
is surely more than enough to make you a bonzer night!
So, why don't you come and have a pint with us."
Sonia:
So, did you join them?
Groggy:
Well, I did. I just thought I couldn't sleep with all that
noise, anyway.
Sonia:
Are you kidding me? You joined the party with
people whom you were upset with
at the first place!
Groggy:
Yeah, that's not a big deal. Remember the saying? "Love
thy neighbour."
Sonia:
Ok, if you want to apply the phrase in this way. (Sonia
says it with a disagreeing tone.)
Groggy:
Though those people
really seemed a bit way out,
and their place was a real eyesore,
I didn't do anything stupid with
them, did I.....?
