Sound of Drums at three am!

Fast asleep and i slowly wake up for the steady sound of drums being played. Quickly grab the alarm clock and its exactly three am. I was slightly confused if it was the burglars again for the fifth time or am i hearing things. Lie back on the pillow and there goes a different drum beat. Maybe someones having a kind of late party or what...

Then suddenly get panicked what if its the tsunami alert or something. I have no idea where these ideas come from. I dont know how an alert sounds but this was wierd surely this must be it. Quickly wake up DH who is like a polar bear in hibernation but how to blame him its three twenty.

me : " Do u hear the sound i think its a tsunami alert"

DH : "no no thats the korean drum beat while they are praying, its prayer time for them"

( i kid u not i was worried about the mans explanation what the hell, what korean drum beat)

Me : What there are no koreans in the neighbourhood

Snore snore ( the man is sleeping again )

God thought i will sort this out and decided to check it out. So open the balcony and wow there is loud drum beating like a perahera carnival sort of thing and lights. This is on main galle road i think. Since i am awake i thought i ll get the security of the apartment to check what it is. Peep down and the fellow is fast asleep. Call him like five times and he does not wake up. Great this is the guy who is going to save the apartment and wake up and warn us if there is an alert or fire or anything.

Get back to bed and count sheep...
