I think it's about time I change my home phone number. Been getting alot of weird calls from people who claim to know me. And it's really freaky when the person is talking to you in a utterly friendly tone, like she has known you for a long time.
About a month or so ago, I got a weird call from a lady who names herself, Liting. It was a saturday, so naturally I slept till about 1pm. My house phone rang a couple of times that morning, once at 6.05am, the second at 8am++ and the last time was about 9.20am. I refused to pick up the call until the 4th time it rang. It was about 10am I guess. I dragged a cranky self outta bed & answered the call in a "I-am-sleeping-why-did-you-have-to-wake-me-up-at-this-hour" tone. This sweet voice greeted me & said...
Weirdo: Hello! Hui Hui ah?
Me: HUH?!
Weirdo: Shi Hui Hui ma?
Me: Ni shi shei?
Weirdo: Wo shi ni de peng you!
Me: WHO?
Weirdo: Ni de tong xue lah!
Me: She me ming zi?
Weirdo: Liting!
Now, this weirdo sounds like a poly-mate of mine who likes to play silly pranks on me when she calls me, so I thought it's her. I asked her to cut the crap of hers & let me catch my wink. She totally ignored what I said & went on asking me to go shopping with her. I was suppose to catch a movie with my colleagues that day & so I told her so. I was still thinking that she's that particular friend of mine, until that weirdo asked where I am working at & as what. It suddenly struck me that ok, she's not that friend I thought she is. I gave her a piece of mind & ask her not to call again coz I dunno who the hell she is nor am I Huihui (Although my Chinese name is somewhere close, but no one ever calls me by my Chinese name these days) & slammed down the phone on her & went back to sleep.
Just 20 minutes ago, while I was in the loo, my Mum called to me saying there's someone looking for me. Now, my friends or colleagues seldom, or rather don't call my house phone if they are looking for me. I sense weird-ity.
Me: Hello?
Weirdo: Hello? Hui Hui ah?
Me: HUH?! Ni shi shei?
Weirdo: Wo shi Wai Wai
Me: Wai Wai? Na li de Wai Wai?
Weirdo: XXX de Wai Wai (she gave a very Malaysia-sounding name)
Me: Wo bu ren shi ni
Weirdo: Wai Wai lah! Ni yao bu yao qu fuo tang?
Me: (WTF?!) Wo bu ren shi Wai Wai. Shen jing bing!
And I hang up the phone. Do you think Liting & Wai Wai are related?! This is so fuckingly friggin' creepy. I'm utterly traumatised!!!!! >_<
I hope she doesn't call using another name & ask for Huihui again. I'll prolly blow my top & start spewing vulgarities at her. If you happen to know anyone by the name of Liting or Wai Wai, please tell her (or them, although I highly suspect they are of the same person) that I dunno who the hell she is & we are not related in anyway, nor am I interested in going shopping with her, or go to the fuo tang. I'm a free-thinker btw.
Anyhow, happy *arbish* day! Hope you got lovely presents! =]
