Weird Happenings
What was weird was the caller. He spoke very slowly with much pauses in between, as if he was deep in thoughts. He couldn't differentiate $10k and $100k in Chinese, even though he was Mandarin-speaking. Over the phone, he said he wanted to invest the latter sum.
He told me to go to his place at a specific time, and so I did. I kept knocking the door but no one answered. His phone was engaged. Then his neighbour looked at me and said that I needed to knock harder and that he is lazy to answer the door.
I knocked for an hour before I decided to give up. I left my name card and went to meet another customer.
After my appt, I called that same guy again. After 3 phone calls, he picked up and said he didn't know it was me and he called the cops. One of the cops answered the phone and the misunderstanding was cleared.
-.-
I went back to the place and his neighbour started to shout that he was crazy. Haiz. I am not going to disclose any further, lest I breach any act. I have also decided not to do any trade for him.
What a bummer!
In any case, I was driving along Bkt Panjang Road when the corner of my eye saw someone trying to attract my attention. I wound down the windows and he asked, "Do you want speakers?"
I said no.
"Free one. Don't need to buy."
I wound up and didn't care about him.
At Tea Party this evening, I picked up Wheels Asia Oct issue and would like to share with WK the Cerato Variant model.
Time to change.
