The ShOcKiNg sms

Do you guys pick up your phone when you see its an unknown number?

I personally don't. Why? Because it’s usually those marketing people who want to promote credit cards, hotel packages etc and I just can’t be bothered to get into that conversation. However, for some bizarre reason, I did pick up my phone when it rang last Saturday night, even though I knew I didn’t recognize the number. I guess I was in a good mood and thought perhaps it could be some long lost friend or something.


The so-called conversation that took place:
Me: Hello?
Stranger: Hello?
Me: Hello?
Stranger: Hello?
Me: Yes. Hello?
Stranger: Hello? (hung up)

I was already irritated by then. Who was this strange guy who kept saying hello and nothing else? That was 15 seconds of my life that I can’t get back. A few minutes later, I received an sms. It was from the same number. I was shocked and almost fell off my chair when I read the message:

“Nak s*nt*t you boleh tak?” (I don’t even want to try to translate this into English)

What kind of question is that? You can’t possibly ask that to strangers and expect them to answer ‘boleh’. Was he trying his luck? *Sheesh*

I was tempted to reply and give him a piece of my mind but then decided not to. I chose not to ‘layan’. I didn’t want to encourage him in case he might think that was a signal to further communicate. Besides, there was also a possibility that he had the wrong number or something.

After a few minutes, he called again. The same conversation of ‘Hello?’, ‘Hello?’, and ‘Hello?’ took place. He then hung up.

Some time later, he sent another sms and asked “ni sape?" (Who’s this?). This guy was really testing my patience. I still chose not to reply and thank God it stopped after that.

I just wonder where these weirdos come from. I shouldn’t have picked up my phone in the first place.

Note to self: Never, ever, ever pick up phone when it’s an unknown number. You never know what you might get!

*Sigh*

"Sometimes we search too hard for answers that is right in front of us..."

Its one of those times when I feel life at work is really crappy.

I so want to quit but don't think thats the best option right now.

*Patience Trueblue, patience...*

Ideas, Ideas....where have you been?

I think I have lost my ability to write.

Is it that or maybe I’ve just run out of ideas?

Ok, before you guys get shocked and question “Trueblue writes?”, what I meant was sharing my stories in this blog (with the limited writing skills that I have) and not so much writing like great writers/authors/storytellers out there. Get it?

I haven’t been updating my blog as much as I want to. Sometimes, I have stories to share but no time to write it. There are times when I have time to write but get stuck in how to tell the story (in an interesting way that is). There are also times when I have no idea what to write. Zilch. Zero. Some people have the gift or the talent. They just simply write what comes to their mind. My time has been full of activities lately that I don’t even have time to read other people’s blog.

I miss blogging. I miss the excitement and that eager feeling I used to have when after posting an entry, I’ll start to plan what to story to share next.

I could blame Facebook for this. I admit that my attention has been diverted to that. Not to say that I’m addicted to Facebook but in terms of updating my whereabouts etc, doing it through Facebook is so much easier. You just click on applications, invite friends, send a few gifts, do a bit of poking, leave a message or two and wallllah, you’re good to go. You don’t get bogged down with trying to come up with a good story, structure sentences, etc.

Oh well, I guess it's not the end of the world. It's not like you guys care anyway, right? So what if Trueblue’s been quiet for a while. Surely, there are other much more interesting blogs to read.

Before you guys yawn and say "so what, Trueblue?" , I think its best that I bid farewell for now.

Till my next entry…whenever that will be.

Cheerio and have a good day.

Don't be so tactless-lah....

I don’t understand why some people do this.

Haven’t they heard of sayings like “if you don’t have anything nice to say, better not say anything at all” or “some things are better left unsaid”?

Two things (amongst a few others) that I would never tell anyone:
1. Gosh, you look fatlah. Have you put on weight?
2. Oh my, that’s a big pimple you have on your face!

AND….I especially would not tell this to people I hardly know or rarely meet. Got no better topic to talk about, is it?

Come on la…the person is probably already uncomfortable/embarrassed with the situation/appearance, do you really need to rub it in? Do you actually have to make it so obvious?

It really doesn’t take much effort to be a bit more sensitive.

*blink*blink*

Has 2 weeks passed by already??!! Unbelievable...

Why does time fly by so fast when we're having fun? Sob..sob..

Today is my first day at work. There are no words to explain how lazy I feel. Wish I was back in bed. :)

How was your new year?

Happy holidays...

Today is Day 7 of my long break. What can I say..its been great and not so great at the same time. Its a relief to be away from the office but kind of boring coz I haven't been doing much and spent most of the time at home. BUT, whatever it is I'd rather be bored to death at home than be at the office. Anywhere but the office, man.....Why do holidays have to pass by so fast? I'm already dreading the first day back at the office (and I've still got about 13 days left of my long break!).

Next week I'll be off to Bandung with my family. Yeah! Can't wait for that...If you guys have been there, please let me know the good places to visit.

I had a haircut the other day. It felt really glamorous as I left the hair saloon but now after a few days and a few washes, it looks kind of blah. I wish I had a personal hairstylist so that my hair can look great all the time :)

In case I don't have time to blog again, I just want to wish you guys a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year....Do enjoy the holidays and get as much rest as you can.

Take care now!

Watcha doin', girl?!

I went to Dunkin’ Donuts this morning to get some breakfast. Since it takes a few minutes to make my sandwich, I waited at the seating area and placed my wallet, phone and company pass card on the table. An Indonesian family then came into the shop and went straight to the table beside me.

The daughter (probably about 9 or 10) stopped in front of my table and was staring at my pass. I was puzzled to why she did that. I didn’t say anything and continued to observe her behavior. Suddenly I heard her say my name a few times as if wanting to memorise it. She then went to her table and wrote my name on her palm.

Weird kid. I wonder why she did that. She wasn’t ashamed to do it so openly. She also didn't care that I was looking at her. She probably didn't even realise it.

And I don’t know why I didn’t bother to ask. My sandwich was ready by then so I just took it and left.

I hope she’s not gonna do anything crazy with my name.
