A Conversation Today

Something amusing occured today during work. LOL. Wait, I must laugh till I'm satisfied before I can type properly...Hahaha.

I received a phone call in the morning from some company. Below is a rough excerpt of our conversation. Bracketed words are my thoughts.

Caller: Hi, is this cik Nor Adlina?
Kath: Uh no. This is Kathleen speaking.
Caller: Oh ok, that's a big difference.
Kath: Uh yeah....(Heh?)
C: Oh nevermind about that (What do you mean nevermind? I'm Kathleen la.). Actually our company would just like you to participate in our forum group discussion (is that redundant?). Will you be interested?
K: Forum means that I have to come out and meet you guys right?
C: Yup.
K: Oh it's ok la. Cause I'm actually working and I won't have time to participate in these discussions. (Plus a bit lazy)
C: Oh, but we hold the forums only in the evenings weekdays, 6.30pm. And we also pay you RM 150 for your participation. (Yours truly instantly perks up)
K: Oh ok... But where is it held?
C: In plaza Kelana Jaya
K: Is it near Glomac?.
C: Glomac... Yea, I think so. Everytime I come to work I see the sign. (Ha? I think I'll get lost.)
K: Huh? You think so? (I started laughing)
C: We'd just like to do a simple survey. (I think he doesn't know what else to say). Ask you a few questions.
K: Ok.
C: What's your age?
K: 24 (Bleah...)
C: Could you also let me know your marital sta-tues? Star-tues? *fumbled a few times*
K: Status.
C: Uh yeah. Status. *Sheepish laugh by him* (I can imagine him scratching his head in frustration).
K: Single.
C: Oh no!!! (What?) The discussion is only for married people. Oh, then you don't have to take the trouble la.
K: LOL. Ok. (Hai... I took the trouble to talk to you.)

And the conversation ends with me laughing and him feeling embarassed (oh he laughed too, no worries).
What I don't get is how the heck did my contact number end up in some married section in a company?!
Hmph!

To Mr. KT

This post is written in honour of (no, scratch that), is written with the objective to give someone a piece of my mind. (Want my cerebrum or medulla oblongata?) Firstly, this person complained that I did not update my blog often enough. Then he said, "Kenny Sia updates everyday." Yeah right, it's not everyday la Tai Kor! And why compare me to him? I'm so tiny and puny in the blogsphere. Heh. Anyway, I'm super busy and super tired and has had no inspiration whatsoever to blog about anything till today. (Thanks to somebody...) Before I go into the second part, for all those who have yet to hear about it, (it's been publicized in her FB), my sister, Eileen is now formally engaged to her sweetheart of six, seven years. Congrats to my dear dear sister. Finally, eh? Hahah. The second part is related to this. Not referring to my sis, but me. Our good friend who complained that I don't update often, had the gall/balls (Grr...) to 'insult' me. When I sh...

Of Vampires and Werewolves

I've never really been an ardent fan of the Twilight series(boo...says you). And I have no idea why some girls go gaga over Edward the vampire. He looks so paste-y with the bloodshot eyes (yea yea he's supposed to look that way). And bleah! I think he looked way hotter in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as Cedric Diggory . That, I can go gaga. But in Twilight??? The romance between Edward and Bella is fine. Romantic, mushy and cliched. Heh. But there's nothing much for me to shout about. (Sorry to the ardent fans, esp to my three sisters. Ha.) This year, the next sequel in this series is about to be released tentatively in November. Known as New Moon , the title is definitely appropriate since the werewolves play a bigger role this time. I didn't read any of the books in the Twilight series though my sisters finished the whole lot of it. So there's no doubt I have no idea of what's going on in the next book. But judging from this trailer of the next sequ...

My Future???

After thinking for a while, (ok, not a while but many whiles) I have finally decided what to do after I graduate (hopefully) in May this year. I have narrowed it down to two options. Sigh. Either I continue my studies and proceed wtih Masters (God, help me..) or I apply for this work and travel thing to US for six months. Will see how it goes... see which comes first. If it's the latter, I'd most probably miss my Convocation. If the former is first, the latter will no longer be on my list. We'll see we'll see. :) P/S: Applying for masters has nothing to do with what the government has allocated to help the economy.
