phone call
Hmm, this blog is about Sips and her dream guy/idol Jianhua. If you are not bored of it, please read on.
Teased Sips a lot over the phone on my way home from work. Cos she was returning the missed call from me.
Well, wanted to tell her what happened, and see if she's "dui2"
Called up Muchuan a reservation for the East Meet West event at the cafe this Sunday . As a norm, I spoke in English to the person who pick up the phone. Well the person sounds a bit panicky when he spoke in English, and I assumed he is the waiter. Somemore, when he asked what time my friend & I are coming, I replied " Around 7.30 to 8pm, as you all don't serve dinner anymore."
And he replied something like that "Ermm, actually we have something new. Like the soup in a bread... bowl... something like that." ( the '...' represent him pausing). So that really seems like a waiter giving recommendations. Before I ended my call, I gave my name (the english name which people thought so when they mispronounced my hanyupinyin name) and my contact.
Within one minute after I closed my mobile phone, it rang. So it was "the waiter" who called back, asking our expected time of arrival, so that if we didn't showed up by that time, they will gave our seats to walk-in patrons (he actually phrase it as "people who come in later".
Hmm...wait a minute, at that point, I suspect that voice belongs to Sips's idol. No harm asking, so I asked him "May i know who's this speaking".
"Jianhua".
Bingo! Must tell Sips about that, I thought. (No wonder he seems not eloquent in English)
Told him who I was, and he gave quite a stupid comment " so you are (my name) arh?".
Duh!
Oh yah Sips, he dunno I was refering to you when I mentioned your Chinese name, until I mentioned yr English name .
So called Sips to tell her that, but she was unable to use her mobile at taht time.
So eventually when she called me, I told her about the story, and teased her, especially regarding her dream guy's way of speaking English. Of cos she came to his defence. And she "heart itchy", wanted to hear his voice, decided to make reservation for herself too.
Luckily her call was picked up by him. And which she told me, she recognised his voice instantly. Of course lah, I am not interested in him, so never pay attention to his voice, and he really sounds different when he spoke in English ma. Somemore he recommend me the new food , hence came the assumption of him being the waiter lor.
This girl really "gone case" liao. When I asked her if she wanted to cancel her reservation after she found out that he's not singing on Sunday, she said she won't, as her reservation is written down by him.
" shakes head" ....... :P

Just found out today taht my new work palce is not near to Funan, but at another building near to Maxwell Food Centre. Though there's quite a distance from the bus stop, but there is good food to eat. Oooooooooh.
Was quite pissed off that till now my present company hadn't hired anybody to take over me, when I have only 3 days more of service with them. Others colleagues were a bit "kan-cheong" as they dunno who to refer to when I am not around. Then found out that the management were actually thinking of asking the tempt admin staff to cover my work. hey! That's so ridiculous!!! I myself already can't cope with mine, and she had a busy time coping with her work, yet they asked her to handle two persons' job. Do they ever care for staff welfare and be realistic when cutting cost?
