Mysterious midnight visitor -- an omen?

I was dreaming about camping when I woke up to the sound of the alarm clock. Man... it's still dark, why is the alarm clock ringing? Turned mine off, and went back to sleep.

2 minutes later, it's that annoying beep beep beep sound again. I turned over to Tonton and asked him to switch his bloody alarm clock off. "No, it's not my alarm clock".

Beep beep beep. "Yes, it's your alarm clock! Take out the battery to stop that sound!" "No, it's not the alarm clock!" "Yes it is."

Then, being fully awake by now, we realized it's neither of them. Beep beep beep. "What's that sound?" "It must be from the desk". So Tonton gallantly got out of the warm bed, and took out all the digital gadgets from the desk, chucked them outside the room and shut the door. "There, this should fix it!"

Beep beep beep. We started using our ears to locate the sound source. "It must be the smoke detector at the staircase. The batteries might be running low. How annoying."

Hey! The sound is moving. We must be going nuts.
Tonton turned on the lights, and saw a tiny little insect on the corner of the bed room wall. "Ah, that must be the culprit." "How can it be? That's so tiny."

Beep-beep. Beep-beep-beep. Beep-beep-beep.
WHACK! Then silence...

The next morning, Tonton joked that this insect must be wanting to visiting Himy (our next baby). It's actually calling out for "Him-him. Him-him-him. Him-him-him"
