Today, i had an interesting phone call. From some auntie sounding person from the office of StreetsArts.
Now, why in the world would they call me up for? I'm not taking part in the upcoming competition (though Miffy asked me to join with her but i declined in the end) and I have not filled up any lucky draws (except the one at Swensons with Bunny on Sat) or any surveys. So i was extremely surprised by this phone call. So Auntie starts off with.... "Is this Dennis Gan??"
Falls off chair slightly.
"No, it's De-nise Gan."
"HArrrrrr????!"
"DEr..... nieceeeee Gan....."
"Errr, Dennis ah?"
*Slaps hand over forehead. "Nevermind. Yes, why did you call?"
So she explains that she is calling from StreetsArts and asked if i had a friend by the name of CHUN LIANG. i scratch my head and think out loud, "Chun Liang???? Sounds familiar... (At this time, Miffy's chinese name comes to mind : LengChiow..... No... cannot be. Lawerence's chinese name?? : Wei Liang.... also dont gel together!) So i asked if Chun Liang has an English name.
"Oh, this is his English name.... Chun Liang."
Harrrr???? How can that be??? So again i ask for what is she calling for. After thinking outloud for a while, the only other person's name that sounded vaguely familiar was one of Ah Zai's friend whom i have met once only..... called Jun Liang. Then i recall that Ah Zai, Gaz, Sarcastic Guy and JL are joining the above mentioned competition. AAAAhhh......
So i ask arent there the other group members that she can call and it turned out that my name and number was put down as the emergency contact! (You call this an emergency??) She said yeah, but all the rest Malay one... (Wah! sibei racist lor!!) So i explained to her that JL is not in Singapore currently as he is holidaying in Bangkok and to call Ah Zai instead.
Then she proceeded to pronounce every other person's name wrongly! (except for Ah Zai's one i think.) Gaz's name as RidWan and Sarcastic Guy's name as Hi-Ham. Man...............
Now we are trying to book some tickets for Batman begins (i know a bit late lar) and seems like only at Causeway has it at a timing after 4pm! Oh noooo....
