Arghhhhhhhhhh... Ohhhhh.... Nooooooo.....

Yesterdays' phone conversation is making me paranoid! Read on...

Me: Hello, pejabat XXXXXXX ka ni?

Clerk: Ya, encik... Boleh saya bantu?

Me: Boleh tolong check tak package dari Sarawak?

Clerk: Errrr... Tunggu sat, tunggu sat...

Waiting.

Waiting.

Getting tired of waiting.

Still waiting.

Tired of waiting and about to hang up.

Still waiting because I know I'm a very patient person and I just reloaded my phone.

Other Clerk: Halo encik?

Me: Boleh tolong check package dari Sarawak, nombor XX XXX XXX XXX XX?

Other Clerk: Oh... Kita ada terima, tapi dia ada di Aloq Setaq, dalam pukul 5 sampai la kot.

Me: Takpa, takpa, nanti saya call balik, terima kasih.

1700 hrs

Me: Hello? XXXXXXX ka?

Clerk: Ya, boleh saya bantu?

Me: Minta tolong check package dari Sarawak, parcel no...

Clerk: Sat, sat...

Waiting.

Waiting again.

Darn, they still make me wait???

Still waiting.

Clerk: Hello?

Me: Ye, boleh-mintak-tolong-check-bungkusan-dari-Sarawak no.. XX XXX XXX XXX XX?

Clerk: Errr... Kita ada terima satu bungkusan dari Sarawak, tapi sepatutnya ada dua... Satu

masih lagi dekat Aloq Setaq...

Me: Habis macamana?

Clerk: Dalam bungkusan tu ada apa?

Me: Ada pokok...

Clerk: (feigning worry) Ye ke? abis tu sekarang macamana?

Me: (In my head- Right, as if you can do anything now... Like swimming to fetch my package, or full refund, or treat me for a very expensive dinner!) Bila boleh sampai ni?

Clerk: Esok pagi-pagi... Mungkin lewat sikit... Tengahari kot...

Me: Ok. Terima Kasih (Imagines hanging up as brutal as possible that it could be call phone abuse tho I'm using my mobile)

Moral of the story, there's no moral in this one...
