I was calling the Transitlink hotline yesterday night and it really irks me when an "answering machine" picks up my call. It goes somthing like this:

"For ......... please press 1"
"For ......... please press 2"
"For ......... please press 3"
"For other enquiries please press 4"

And so I did press 4, for what I was looking up for was not in the options given. Then came Ms "Answering Machine" once more.

ARGH!!!!!

Okay, I admitted that being a Singaporean has instilled a sense of "kiasuism" in me. I wanted to check my eligibility of my tertiary student card. I had no computer access at that point of time! But I do admit that it was way after office hours, at 2200 hours. Another trait of my kiasuism. But let's not get out of point. I presume it'll still be Ms "Answering Machine" when I call during office hours today. Ever tried scolding vulgarities or venting your anger to the person on the other side of the phone? Who knows she'll be listening...and get frustrated. After all, she's human. And human beings have feelings and emotions. HAHAHA! But seriously, I'd be labelled stupid if I do so. I mean who will wanna work full-time repeating the same things over and over again for 365 days a year? It must be recorded right?

Yet again, it's 1800... meaning, it's FREE! You shall be my next channel for me to vent my anger on. Furthermore, I haven't reach the stupidity level of telling anyone that I shouted towards the lady that answered my 1800 call. HAH!

So the next time when you call my handphone or house phone, please don't fret when it says:

"For Fitri's Sister please press 1"
"For Fitri's Mum please press 2"
"For Fitri please press 3"
"For other enquiries please press 4"

After all, to get to me, you just have to go past one pathetic "answering machine" that awaits your arrival. Does that really matter if you really wanna get through me? *winks*
