Another Phone Saga..

Yesterday, I was running late to meet my mates at the Uni. We were to come up with a viable business plan as part of our course work for the subject Entrepreunership. I came up with the idea of an inn at a pulau.. heheheheh... Hey, mana tau, one day I'll become a successful business lady ke... all you divers kena stay at my inn, OK.

So anyways, with work and jammers and all, I was soo late and the mates were calling me on the phone asking where I was and all. And I said "I'm on the way..". Seriously on the way lah, not just leaving outta the door or something. It was really jammed up that Hartamas road (before reaching the junction that goes up to Penchala Link tu). If DBKL people read this kan, please, please lah. Why lah the elevated road that goes straight up to Penchala Link tu tak bukak. Tak pass certification is it? Jammers ok whai orang Bandaraya..!!

Roighhtt, back to the story mory - As I reached the Uni half an hour later, the mates relayed to me the story.

Mun : Eh Syira, you know what happened or not?
Me : What ah?
Mun : This fella right (pointing to Alex), he asked me to call you. So he happily punched in this number lah.. 012-622****. And then he passed the phone to me..
Me : Wah! Acting like CEO already ah?
Mun : Ya lah! But anyways, you know got man pick up the phone OK.
Me : Huh? Heheheh did he say Syira is in the shower?
Mun : No lah... eh listen lah.. Dont nyampuk.
Me: OK OK.. go on.
Mun : I put the phone on speaker for everyone to hear. So I asked lah, "Can I speak to Syira please". The man said, "sorry no Syira here". Automatically bila dengar his voice I said kuat2, "EH! Indian man lah". Terlupa on speaker ok.. I quickly say sorry wrong number. We were puzzled lah.. then we checked the number. Betulla ini Alex kan, he confident only punched the number.. tengok-tengok salah nombor...
Alex : Yes yes.. I'm sorry lahhh..... but Syira, after few minuteskan, we got this message,

Alex showed me his phone with the sms -
"Hi there. Is that your way of saying hi to me?"

Hahahahhah kesian Alex.... lepas ni sure he kena chat up by that Indian man.. hee hee hee

Sediakan Payong Sebelum Hojan

Next time, I must must bring unbrellaa.. ella.. ella... eh.. eh.. eh.. ehh...... whereever I go! Yesterday I was stuck in Bangsar Village for 2 hours coz by the time I was done getting drilled by Juni, I realised it was pouring outside. So I did a lil window shopping (and some real shopping - for things i DONT NEED) to tunggu for rain to reda. Then I decided to lepak at Starbux (coz my kaki very the penat already by then). So, I sat by the window at Starbux, sipping hot chocolate and watched the rain and people drenched trying to cross to the other side.... Got this family, about 4 of them who took Devi Corner's payung and crossed the road.. Hilarious! That was a nice feeling actually, watching the rain BUT doing that for 2 hours with tummy growling, hungry with the mouth salivating for Bibik's tom yam... I finally decided to redah the rain......

As I was braving myself to get drenched (and secretly hoping I'd catch cold and fall sick - ehem... MC purpose maa), there was this very nice lady who asked whether I wanna share her payung.....

Ah........ the world is not a bad place after all. Although there are psycho biatches everywhere, there are still some of those who are super kind and nice... thank you kakak ;-)

The World Is Full Of Psychopaths!

In the midst of me processing a new case that landed on my table, I got a call from a DIGI number that is not familiar but I answered it anyways. Silly me! It was a telemarketeer from this company called Waterdrops Sdn Bhd, located at Jalan Yap Kwan Seng.

She introduced herself, but I didn’t catch the name and she went on to saying that she is not selling any holiday package or anything. Then she asked me whether I’ve used or heard of water vending machine. I said no. Then she went on to explain what it is and all…… and that she’s inviting to a launch. She asked me when I’d be free to attend this launch. Then it dawned on me, like if it’s a product launching event, wouldn’t the date, venue and time have been fixed? You don’t ask an “invitee” to a launch on the best time for the invitee to come to an event!

Knowing my work, school, family commitments and gym schedules, I know I will be a busy bee and wont have time to attend such events so I said, “I’m sorry, I’m busy. And I’m not interested. Thank you for calling”. Before I could disconnect the call, she responded in the most sarchy tone ever “Cik Syira ni kerja apa yang busy sangat nih?”

I was dumbfounded for a second. I mean, I don’t have to explain myself to a perfect stranger on why I’m busy. Furthermore, no offence to Waterdrops Sdn Bhd, BUT WHY THE HELL WOULD I BE INTERESTED IN water vending machine. Please explain to me like I’m 5 year old!

Again I politely said, I STRESSED on POLITELY, that I’m not interested, thank you for calling. And I hung up.

Few minutes later I received this sms from this number 016-5212206, in sms language which took me a while to understand –

“Thnks bcos u r nt interested, n tat why u r nt married, andartu.. Haha, ksian t,lampau b,lagak”.

Can you believe it? I mean, I totally understand that I may be the 100th person who has said to you that I’m not interested but HARLOW! Do you have to be that super rude and attack me on personal basis?


Should I lodge police report? Should I publish this in The Star, NST??
