Echoes of a Deranged world

The Prank Call

        You know, its sometimes, nah! its VERY annoying to be woken up in the middle of the night by the ringing tone of your handphone. Your mind is suddenly yanked away from that dream( we guys all have…yeap, you guessed it, doing stand up comedy in front of a bunch of midgets! ) in the Bahamas with a hot chick and suddenly you realize you are on your bed, drudgingly but dutifully summoned to pick up your handphone and actually having to answer the person from the other line.

        If it was an emergency per say, then adrenaline would kick in and this feeling of annoyance would just surpass. If it was a matter of life and death, then we would be thankful that the person across the line bothered calling us. Unfortunately, if it was a prank call…then let me give you a formulative answer.

Groggy old

Gary

+ now scraped dream with Avril Lavigne+ Annoying polyphonic ringtone = THE HULK (a sarong curyypuff-eating version I guess, minus the muscular bulk)

This is an account of the conversation which transpired that fateful night…(which was about 5 minutes ago from the time of this entry but hey! Doesn’t it sound more dramatic?)

Prank Caller= PCK ( was tempted to insert, Private Limited, best in

Singapore

, JB, and some say

Ipoh

wei)

Gary

Gary

(Duh!)

RING RING RING RING(I cant as well type out the ringtone can i>?)

Gary

: Hello??? (groggily with grouchiness)

PCK  : Hello, I’m calling from TC modeling agency and you have been spotted as a potential model…would you be interested? (complete with a faux American accent…which by the way, was pretty good)

Gary

: If this is a prank call, it ain’t funny…

PCK : NONO, I spotted you in Jusco a couple of days ago and you were HOT!!! You are Gary Chong right? I think you are HOT ( Notice how I purposefully capitalize the word HOT?)

Gary

: Oh yeah…when did you see me in Jusco? ( trying to end the conversation as fast as possible…)

PC: Erm, yesterday…nono, the day before yesterday.

Gary

: What agency did you say you were from again?

PC: TC Modelling agency. We are dealing with models like Lina Teoh and so forth. Would you be interested?

Gary

: No

She then went on rambling some things trying to put together a convincing storyline which elude my memory banks right now…finally I decided to let PCK down easy…

Gary

: Erm, sorry but I have exams and stuff. But thanks anyway.

She then either replied “You are adorable” or “You are a dog” and then hung up.

        Alrighty then, now lets do the post mortem on the pathetic attempt at a prank. I’ll put in point form where you went wrong (yeap, this is directed at PCK):

1: Nobody from a modeling agency calls at 11.30 and uses a private handphone number (I was tempted to call PCK back in person and tell her all these mistakes which she made during the prank but… hey, wouldn’t that be embarrassing)

2: I didn’t go to Jusco for the past week and how in the world would you have known my name if you ‘spotted’ me?

3: You were to enthusiastic. In playing a prank, always play it cool.

4: YOU ACTUALLY SAID I WAS HOT!!! (either someone paid you to say this or pointed a gun to your head)

5: Watch more MTV Punk’d and listen up to the Hitz.Fm morning crew’s GOTCHA calls for further lessons in the art of pranking.

        But if indeed you thought I was HOT, for real, you know my number…LOL. In any case, I would have given that prank a 4 out of 10. A recommendable first effort if that was your first. AND PLEASE, no calls after

10.00 p.m.

        HULK HATES PUNY PHONE CALLS AFTER

10 P.M.

HULK BASHES PUNY PERSON WHO CALLS AT THIS TIME. ( Although let it be known that this version of the Hulk has an anti-violence policy and would rather play with butterflies and run along the beach, eating hot currypuffs.)
