I decided to buy my uncle dinner last Friday for all the help he’s given me. To those of you who have been following my Twitter, you would know that every time I bang my car this particular uncle helps me out and lends me his car. Then recently I happened to bang his car as well. So I decided that I had to make it up to him.
I called up Victoria Station.
VS: Hello Victoria Station Damansara.
Me: Hi.. I’d like to make a reservation for 6 people at 7.30PM tonight.
VS: Sure. Under what name Sir?
Me: Under “Timothy Tiah”
VS: Sorry Sir?
Me: “Tee-mo-thyyy Teeeaaahhh”
VS: Sir could you say a little slower?
Me: *starts spelling* T-I-M-O-T-H-Y
VS: T-I-M-O… Mr Timo? Okay Sir. I’ve booked the table under Mr Timo for 8PM tonight.
Me: No no… Timothy.. TIMO -O-T-H-Y…
VS: Sorry sir?
Me: *demotivated*…. forget it. Table under “Mr Timo please”.
Not sure if the line was bad or if I now unknowingly start mumbling when I talk. The dinner was good though… not as good as the bill I got for repairing my car. RM2,400. *sigh*
I’m so broke now. I think I should go work as a Promoter in PC Fair or something giving out flyers. Speaking of which, Pierre was over at my place the other day and he was showing me some videos that were made as part of a Corntoz contest. The prize is RM8,000 and it’s actually ending in a week or two. But here’s the thing that surprised me most.
Here are a few of my favourite videos that went up.
Now keep in mind that these videos are just done by people like you and me. No big movie crew or anything and look at the effort.
And of course.. Kenny Boyle.
