freaky message alert sound

for the last several days, i've been hearing this freaky message alert sound in the office. i think one officemate bought a new phone.

there's nothing wrong with that sound per se. it just brings back some really really really bad memories.

i wasn't aware of it at first. i couldn't explain it but the pain is physical. my extemities felt cold, i had a little difficulty breathing and it felt like my throat was dry.

then i remembered something. and i got to connect it to the sound.

now, i still feel the same everytime i hear it. but at least i know why.
