After leaving CPF for 2 weeks, I feel that I should blog about the interesting callers that I had met. Well, just to allow me to reminisce those moments again when I re-read my blog once again.
Actually, I had many interesting callers. But there are some which leave me the most impression.

No.1
This caller, she called to ask that she got lesser money for a certain scheme. AS usual, I do the checking for her. I realise she actually she had some tax therefore amount will go to IRAS. This caller, she started to say 'How dare IRAS took away my money without asking my permission. They should ask me, you know. MY darling PAP gave me this lovely scheme, and the whatever IRAS, just took away my money like that. That's so rude of them!' OH well. 3 droplets rolled off my head and I told her that we can't do anything about it. Perhaps this lady is trying to 'play' with me. She said, 'OH! Don't worry. I'm just trying to bully you.'
As a normal reaction, the first thing that I said is, 'HUH?!'
'oh no no. I'm just trying to bully you. You see, I got nothing to do at home.'

OH RIGHT. I'm an entertainer for her. (:


NO. 2
This lady, called to ask about the recently new scheme that has being introduced. I explain everything to her, bla, bla bla. Then I say about the name of the scheme. She went, 'Oooooohhh.This one ah.' -pause- 'What is that ah?'
I almost want to fall off my chair.


No. 3
Actually this lady who called. She's a nice lady. But that period when I'm working, I'm coughing quite badly. So as I kept explaining, my throat eventually become dry and itchy. And end up, I kept coughing non-stop through the phone. She's nice and sweet and kept telling, to go AMK to buy some stuff for my cough. Eat HACKS and put some salt in water. As she's saying, I'm almost dying of cough, and how I wish she will just stop and say Bye bye~. OH well...


No 4.
This cute LADY (again). I'm having a bad nose blockage. The nasal sound will be very strong. Of course, it will be obvious through the phone. This cute lady, ask me 'You got flu ah?' 'Ya' I replied. She said, 'Ya. Can hear the nasal sound. I also got flu'. And she sniff her nose. Hahaha.


No 5.
LADY caller again. The moment I picked the call, and said the usual greeting. She told me, 'Oh shanlyn is it? Ohh.. your voice is SOO sweet. A sweet voice make me happy. Cause I'm so angry with the staff counter just now. OH. Now your sweet voice makes me happier.' And bla, her enquires. I can still remember her HIGH, bright pitch. Now I can roughly imagine the expression on your face. It's gonna be the same as mine.


No 6.
This is the most ultimate funny case ever. Till Zaini almost want to peng. And I can't believe that I'm so blur. Well, she get lesser amount of GST credit (which means she should get more). The reason is she did not declare her income. Hence, I required her to fax in her NOA 2006. She called me again to let me know that the fax is connecting and is going to fax over soon. So, I told her that I will get back to her when I received it. The lady said, 'It's ok. I hold on the line first.' You know what. I thought she meant, asking me to hold on the line, while she wait for the fax to be totally send over.

So, both of us hold on the line. There's a silence for about 3 to 5 minutes. Now, I feel that something is funny so I asked. 'Erm, sorry. Is the document fax over?'
Guess what? She went, 'Ah!?? I thought you went over to collect the fax?'
Of course, both of us bursted out laughing when she knew that I'm actually waiting for her. Not only that, Zaini overheard the conversation and almost wanted to bang the wall. And he told me, 'No wonder there's some moment of silence. Ai yo. Shan ah Shan'. HAHA

Luckily she's a nice person. Otherwise, I will be a dead meat.


So see, my ex-colleage actually envy that I always get weird/funny/cute callers. (:
I'm lucky! Haha.
