Ah Beng choke (joke)
Do you know what will happen when chinese siblings have their names close resembling English words? Read on.
———————–
Caller: Hello, can I speak to Annie Wan (anyone)?
Operator: Yes, you can speak to me.
Caller: No, I want to speak to Annie Wan!
Operator: You are talking to someone! Who is this?
Caller: I’m Sam Wan (someone) and I need to talk to Annie Wan! It is urgent.
Operator: I know you are someone and you want to talk to anyone, but what is this urgent matter about?
Caller: @#$… just tell my sister Annie Wan that our brother Noel Wan (no one) was involved in an accident. Noel Wan got injured and now Noel Wan is being sent to the hospital. Right now, Avery Wan (everyone) is on his way to the hospital.
Operator: Look, if no one was injured and no one was sent to the hospital, then the accident isn’t an urgent matter! You may find this hilarious but I don’t have time for this!
Caller: You are so rude! What is your name?
Operator: I am Saw Lee (sorry)!
Caller: Yes! You should be sorry. Now give me your name!!!

Adei.. not good to laugh at ppl’s name wan….
Although last time, someone called up my office phone and was looking for a Maggie. I couldn’t help it but answered:
Maggie takda, mee hoon ada.
And then I laughed like a crazy woman!
