Mmg Kantoi

Filed Under Conversations, Daily Rambings | 2 Comments

I was just ranting to Drew (yes, at 4am haha so poor thing) about how I always seem to get myself into these “kantoi” situations. Over the years, I have made several self natural observations and have realized that frequently, I would:


a) bump into inanimate and/or animate objects eventhough it/he/she may very well be at obvious sight,
b) trip over escalators/chairs/tables/my own feet and make a boo-boo in front of more than a dozen people,
c) blurt out inappropriate statements which in return, I would receive glares or odd stares from the people around me,

or

d) save a cat while in a bus full of cat-phobic passengers and become the 5-hour trip’s heroin of the day (true story!).

This is my story for today:




I decided to contact one of my sponsors earlier this afternoon who happened to be one of our local telecomm company.
A uni mate emailed me TWO numbers to which I could choose to call.
Naturally, I chose the first number.
Then I thought, “Hmm, what if he’s in a meeting or some sort?”
So I texted him instead. Three full pages, to be exact.
I introduced myself, told him where I was from and what were my intentions for getting in touch with him.
Along those lines, I also mentioned – “It would be great if *Company A could take part in our event this year”.
Wuish. Accomplished, I felt.
An hour later, he called back.
Woot, I thought.
“Hello, is this Mae?”, he asked.
“Yes, this is she.” Yes lah I’m going to nail this shit.
“Hi, Mae. This is Patrick but I’m afraid I do not work for *Company A lah.”
“Oh?” Oh, fuck.
“Yeah, I’m actually working for *Company B (rival companies I pressume? T_T) though I used to work for *Company A but that was only temporary.”


T_T


He was kind enough to go on and explain about the number mix-up but I’ve yet to digest the fact that I was reliving my kantoi moments again.

Lucky for me, with every kantoi story of mine, comes with a silver lining.
Today’s silver lining?






Patrick told me that *Company B is also very much interested to be part of the event and that he’ll make arrangements with his marketing fellow to call me soon. Yay, me! :D

A blog post on my thesis report.

I officially have no life.

thesis


Its been 3 days since I started mugging on this horrendous 3000-3500 words report. And just yesterday, I found out that my paper is actually due on the 7th, not the 5th.


Honestly, I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry then.

Thankfully, my friends have been nothing but tremendously “supportive” (and crazy) throughout these times of hardship wtf. ‘Cause really, if it weren’t for them, I would have probably hung myself along the corridors of Centre Point yesterday.

Currently in real-time, I have more or less 1.8k words. Which is equivalent to about 6 out of the 12 pages I need to complete. I’m feeling really good about this progress but apparently for some people, I just ain’t good enough. :(
