Just done a bit of etymological looking up, their is a Hawaiian word 'Tulai' which translates to 'get up' which indicates that this might relate to calling the watch. If so, the irony of 'today is a holiday' makes sense. Alternative it might relate to a Polynesian mate suggesting to a watch that they might want go go up aloft.
