Tony's BLOG okay NOW EVERYBODY KNOWS!

Okay so I've been getting complaints about not 'sharing' my blog. Here it is www.foolishwisdom.blogspot.com [click it!]

Anyways nothing really exciting. I haven't even made it look funky - I think I butchered one of those default CSS that blogger gives you and made it look a little more spastic to reflect my dagginess. Blog is a good place for me to collect my thoughts.

Weird Phone Call

Hi guys... Wow... no one uses this blog no more...

Just thought I'd share a sorta strange story that happened to me today. I got a phone call from some girl. (Okay that's not the weird part).

It was about 2pm I was watching some TVB videos when my home phone rings. Usually nobody rings me on my house phone because not many people know it. So whoever does ring is usually telemarketing or some sort of phone survey or a relative. I pick up the phone.

(this is sorta how the conversation went - not exact but close enough)

Mysterious Girl On Phone: Hi guess who? *sweet baby sort of voice*
Me: (thinking I would be smart) Ummm is it God?
Mysterious Girl On Phone: No silly it's me!!! *still sweet baby sort of voice*
Me: Oh YOU!
Mysterious Girl On Phone: Yeah me!
Me: Okay sorry I think you have the wrong number! *laughs*
Mysterious Girl On Phone: But it's me! You're Tony right?
Me: Ermmm yes?!?! Who's this?
Mysterious Girl On Phone: It's ME!!! URgh! I can't believe you can't remember my voice!
Me: O... K. I still don't know who you are because I don't give out my house number to many people. Just tell me who you are?
Mysterious Girl On Phone: It's ME!!! Spelt M. I. Are you really Tony?
Me: Ohhhh! *laughs* Yeah I am really Tony and I really think you have the wrong number!
(she hangs up)

Roughly 5 minutes passes phone rings again. I go to the phone.

Mysterious Girl On Phone: Hey it's Mi again!
Me: Hey *Mi*! Look I really think you have the wrong number *laughing nervously* I'm Tony but my last name starts with a 'H'. (didn't want to release my last name)
Mysterious Girl On Phone: Yeah I know!
Me: Ermm okay you are starting to freak me out! Because I don't know any girls *chuckles nervously* named "Mi" and like I said before I don't give this number to many people. So I think you obviously have the wrong number.
Mysterious Girl On Phone: Oh...
(a bit of a pause)
Me: Hey I'm sort of busy maybe you should call your friend on his mobile or something!
Mysterious Girl On Phone: Okay. Sorry to bother you!

about half an hour passes (I think) and then the phone rings again!

Me: hello?
Mysterious Girl On Phone: Hey! Sorry to bother you again but are you sure your name's not Tony Huang? I rang your mo-b.... I mean his mobile and he didn't answer.
Me: No my name isn't Tony Huang. Look...umm please don't call this number again, I really don't know you. I'm not Tony Huang. Hey if this is a prank someone put you up to do please stop it because it's a bit weird and it's becoming tiresome.
Mysterious Girl On Phone: No I'm not pranking. Just that you sound a lot like him.
Me: Okay good luck finding him. Please don't call here anymore.
Mysterious Girl On Phone: Sorry one more question is your number XXXX XXXX
Me: yeah but that's my number not your friend's. Anyways Good Luck hope you find him.

about 7pm phone rings and something just tells me it's her again!

Mysterious Girl On Phone: Hey it's Mi again.
Me: O...K?
Mysterious Girl On Phone: Before you hang up on me. Just wanted to say sorry for calling so many times! You must be freaked out by now!
Me: Sort of. Did you find your friend?
Mysterious Girl On Phone: Yeah and I found out that he gave me the wrong home number. *laughs*
Me: Yeah I told you that! Okay now - cool. Thanks for calling back!
Mysterious Girl On Phone: No probs.
Me: Bye!
Mysterious Girl On Phone: See ya.

Okay glad I'm able to share that with you... weird huh? or maybe you just have to experience that... That has to be one of the strangest thing that has happened to me over the phone. This even tops the other time when I made this phone survey chick laugh uncontrolably by answering most of her questions with "cow". Well they were pretty stupid questions. "What do you think of when you hear the word dairy?" - naturally Cow! All of her other questions were the same word association questions "Butter?" "Milk?" "Yoghurt?"

:) Take care :)
