My colleague took a few days leave to pay a visit to his parents-in-law-to-be in Sichuan, China.
Me: “Dude, you will buy me some souvenirs, will you?”
Colleague: “Sure, what do you want?”
Me: “A panda bear and a Sichuan hot chick, either one will do.”
Colleague: *_*|| “Pantat…” (yes, he is a malay)
OK, cut the crap. He needed my help to make a phone call to a vendor when he is not around.
Me: “Hello, can I speak to Mr. Chandran, please?”
Chandran: “Speaking.”
Me: “Hi, my name is Leo, I’m calling on behalf of my colleague. I’d like to check with you on the internet line upgrade status.”
Chandran: “Oh, I have completed my part on the cabling already, you can call my colleague to schedule an appointment to complete the installation. His name is Tay Soh Chye, T-A-Y S-O-H C-H-Y-E, his contact number is blah blah blah.”
Me: O_o “Oh okay, thank you very much. Bye.”
I can assure that Tay Soh Chye’s parents do not understand cantonese.
