Telephone call~

Received a phone call just now, looking for my gram.

S=sweet-voiced girl, M=me

S= Hello is this XXX? (That's my gram's name)

M= Hi she's my grandma, she's not good in Chinese so i'm answering for her. Who's this calling??

S= I'm Ling from XX travel agency. We're very happy to let you know that tomorrow there'd be a tv show at 6pm at XX channel, Astro. We want to invite you to watch the program. There'd be celebreties performing on stage, Fish Leong will be performing too.

M= Oh ok.

S= (sweetly) So we'll be having lucky draw during the show and i'm here to give you your number XXXXXX, you'll stand a chance to win! Please do watch the show and should you win the price, we'll immediately contact you.

M= Ok. Where's your company based?

S= We're currently in Hong Kong. We're planning to have a branch in Malaysia next year.

M= Where will your company be, in Malaysia?

S= (0.05 second of hesitation) Oh we've haven't thought of that but the decision will come out in our future meetings. I think it'll probably in Kuala Lumpur.

M= (in awe) Oh ok.

S= (never changes her sweet voice) Ok thank you for your time. Good luck to you and your family.

M= (nicely) Bye.(put down the phone patiently)

I can't believe they are still using the same story, after...years? This's the third time i receive this kinda call... the stories are all the same. (Maybe slightly different in the story but the company will ALWAYS in Hong Kong)

A few days later the girl'll call again telling me i've won the lucky draw. I'm going to create a story for her too...(evil grin)

I wonder who did the girl get the name from. I told gram the phone call and she laughed it off, saying they called a few time before. (But i wonder if it's her because she seldom understands Chinese)

What a call. >.<

hahaha they just never get tired eh~ but one thing i very curious, how do they get their hand on our chinese name? i mean if they get it from internet then it will be angeline bah cos i hardly use my chinese name online and even in real life apart from those who know me very well and those who come from same primary school, people hardly know my chinese name o!

BTW, if u r very senang then go ha-la with them to spend time, create lies for fun, it's always fun to listen to their answer, if u r busy use malay," hello, siapa tu? apa? cari siapa" work every time
