As of now, the main reason I can’t stand staying here:
MAHJONG SESSIONS people here have with either some relatives or the stupid neighbour *who’s supposed to be babysitting a rugrat that must cry and yell at least 10 times in a day!*
ARGHH! MUST….. WAIT….. TILL…. I….. GRADUATE….. GRRRR!
Sigh, feels so crappy now. Can’t go around telling them not to play *or play elsewhere*. Didn’t help that I stay up late these days and sleep in the day. How to sleep like this?! Didn’t help too that the walls are too thin and the door’s flaky 
Only thing I can do is blast my speakers loud just to cancel out the mahjong noise….

you could get those ear plugs… y’know when spectators go watch F1. Or even those free ones given out by aircraft cabin crews - so that passengers can sleep better. You should try. I'’ve used it before and it’s pretty effective.
For better sound-proof, tilt your head 90 deg (facing sidewards) and cover your whole head with a pillow, in addition to the already-in-place-earplugs. Just make sure you set your alarm clock (i used my good ol’ nokia handphone) to vibrating mode, and leave it somewhere on/under (as long as in contact with) your mattress. There! Tips on how to sleep soundly (and wake up when the alarm rings). Hehe. Been there, done those. =p

*sigh* I was young once. I moved out to live on my own at 21 yrs old. But I was working then and can afford room rental. It is the first step to adulthood. Hope you find your freedom soon.
