If Tien Han is a Technical Support Specialist

Yesterday was Malaysia's 50th National Day. While most of my friends have the whole day off, I was confined in my puny little cubicle taking up calls and replying emails. However, thanks to Tien Han, my day was not as boring and mundane as it was supposed to be. Attached below is a small portion of the MSN chat that I have extracted out due to the hilarious suggestion that Tien Han proposed:

[16:12] tienhan: normally a lot of inbound calls?
[16:12] Eng Hong: YES!
[16:12] tienhan: "hello eng hong speaking"
[16:12] Eng Hong: no no
[16:12] tienhan: "i nit help on some..."
[16:12] Eng Hong: thank you for calling dell, this is eng hong
[16:12] tienhan: "this is voice recorder, pls leave ur message after the tone"
[16:12] tienhan: "...."
[16:13] tienhan: "toot toot toot"
[16:13] tienhan: like this ma ok la
[16:13] tienhan: one case solved and settled
[16:14] tienhan: ring ring..."hello eng hong from hell, sorry, dell, who is on the line?" "hello i'm..." "can u speak louder?" "hello this is..." "cant hear u la cibai"

Now, if only my conversation with customers were not recorded, I would have definitely tried his aforementioned suggestions. Nonetheless, I guess I owed him a meal for brightening up my gloomy day. Mushroom soups, anyone?

Hey, this Tienhan gave a very good idea on answering the call. Ya know, get sack is better than you resign, as you got 3 months salary in return? and you can leave immediately.
Then come over to my company and join me, I promise you you do not have to answer call, you just make the call all the time. Syok bo?
Regarding your next week work schedule, bo syok one, then mahsi do not have the time to eat dinner with you liao.

Do allow me to do some Mathematics for you. Sacked = 3 months salary + blacklisted. In the end, it still does not sound very convincing to me.

You just want me to go over to your company to replace you, eh?

The schedule is not something that I have control over therefore the dinner... what dinner? You just want my HDD! :P As I have mentioned, I can still go over if you wanted me to provided that you can wait until 10.30pm.

You do not wish to be a tech support anymore, so being blacklisted is not a deal to you right? the most important is that, UUM would not know that you have been sacked by Dell right? So what's the matter?

No, IF you wanna join my company and be my teammate, then I wont leave my company, as I got you...

Do you think that I ask you out for dinner becuz of the HDD only?
Come on man, think of something else. I am the kind of friend who is nice and you reminded me of something important when we chat last night.
But too bad you have to work until 10pm every night, if not, you can always stop by my house after work at 6pm, and have candle light dinner and after that sit on the sofa and drink some wine, get drunk and then xxxx ...

I believe that being blacklisted by an international company such as Dell is definitely a huge deal to consider since they can easily inform their partners. And again, you got it wrong there as I do not care if UUM are aware of me being sacked since I have left the institution for more than a year.

As you have mentioned, you just want to spike my drink and get me drunk. A nice friend you are indeed, eh?

Hey, you forgot our dream?
We plan to go back to UUM and become lecturer there, so UUM is an super duper important nouns to both of us.
Still thinking of becoming a lecturer one day?
As I told you before, I am your shadow :D
And you were trying to pursue me to go to UUM with you too.

Of course I am a nice friend... I spent 3 years in UUM with my eyes locking on you only.
Man, I didn't see Tien Han in UUM before, and this is the best proof right?
Did you see me talking about other boys and girls in UUM, except for you and your rumors?

To be or not to be a lecturer is too far an ambition for me to dream of at this moment. As long as I can open my eyes and live another fulfilling day, I shall be glad and satisfied enough.

Eyes on me? What about your night private lesson with certain IT lecturers such as Adi Affandi? *cough cough*

I wanted to post a comment about the blog, but dunno where to start or slip myself in to this "conversation" (again) above... +_+ really inde-SIGH-siveness.

Sooner or later I guess I'll have "WTF galore" of my own, haha.

Anyway, yes, working can be boring, but always cheer yourself up before you go to work. You can make the difference.

hoe tien han:
You can always just post whatever comments here as you deemed plausible. Moreover, it is not like anonymous always keep her comments on track with the blog posts either. *roll eyes*

Nothing to be worried about. Just drop by at the 7-11 near your house and purchase yourself a super glue. Your heart will be back to 1 piece in no time. ;)
