When a LOW voice is a HIGH function...

The phone rang, so I answered it. The conversation is as follows;

Me: Hello?
Caller: Hi. Can I speak to a person by the name of (Dad's name: censored for protection)?
Me: Erm, sorry, but he's not in at the moment.
Caller: Oh, okay. Thank you, sir. (Closed line)



'Sir'.

I was addressed as 'Sir' on the phone.

:)

Sweet, isn't it? But this wasn't the first time. Oh, no it wasn't. A year ago, there was a guy from a finance company who wanted to do a random servey and by some chance dialled our number.

Me: Hello?
Caller2: Good afternoon, sir. I'm from (Company: Censored for protection). Could you spare a few minutes for this survey, please?
Me: Erm, okay.
Caller2: Firstly, what occupation do you have?
Me: Erm, student.
Caller2: Wow. So young? How old are you?
Me: Er, 12.
Caller2: Oh...
(Pause for a few seconds)
Me: Would you like to talk to my Dad?
Caller: (sigh of relief) Yes, please.

Hahahahaha! Oh, and don't forget the time when a travel agency tried to cold call my house...

Me: Hello?
Caller3: Hi, sir! We're from (Company: censored for protection). Are you the man of the house? And if so, would you like to sign up for one of our holiday packages?
Me: Sorry, but I think you're reffering to my Dad. Let me...
Caller3: Oh! So you're the son! So should I make a registration for two family packages?
Me: Erh, hold on, please... (Passed the phone to my Mom)

Uahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! She...giggle...she actually thought I had a family of my own!!! A-hahahahahaha!!! That's, like... ahaha... that's just so hilarious!!!


~After 5 minutes of laughter...


...hahahaha, ha, ha, ha, erm, ha. Sigh (Wipes tears from eye), that was smashing, I tell ya. Hmm hmm hmm. Smashing. Ah...

Anyway, the holidays are flowing away really fast so I thought I ought to make a list of what I've done, am doing and planning to do while I still can so I can see how my days here are going to be spent. Let's see what we've got so far...

Things Done:
~ Made a blog! (Thank you, thank you. Oh, you're just too kind...)
~ Go out once a week with ex-Nanyang Classmates to watch movies and chill out.
~ Get a new phone! (Courtesy of Mom and Dad. Thanks!)

Things Still Doing:
~ Helping out Mom at tution centre.
~ Creating 'The Andresville Detectives: The Alliance Adventure of France and Germany' animation video. (Only seven know the secret...)
~ Train for the Canoeing Competition of next year.
~ Prepare for the subjects that will be taught next year.
~ Try to learn basic guitar. :)
~ Compose that song that was stuck in my head for quite some time.

Things Yet To Do:
~ Go to Japan! (Just pray it doesn't Sink...)
~ Meet Granma from the Philippines who's coming here to Singapore on Christmas and give her another tour around this Island of ours! (The tour will include places like Orchard Road, Singapore River, MacRitchie and Sentosa. Flight to Singapore: $70. Souveniers purchased at Sentosa: $20. Shopping around Orchard Road for 12 hours flat: $175. Your first grandson to always show you the way: Priceless.)

Rejected Plans:
~ Go out with Anglo-Chinese classmates to watch a movie and chill out.
