was the question the visa officer from the japanese embassy asked when i got a call from them. ( i didnt managed to pick up the phone because i don't usually hear my phone)
or rather it seldom rings.
anyways, i got a call from them this afternoon and they asked me to return call asap. so which i did.
in the first time i rang, it rang and rang. and then the lady answered. and she started off in japanese which i have no clue on what she just said.. i was in shock.
anyways, then i just realized when she spoke in english that she had that soft tinge that usually all mandarin/japanese speaking girls have. not the high pitched shrill thingy but just the sorta of the gentle ones.
*sigh* ..
okays.. this is proof i don't get many phonecalls. or in fact... i havent heard girl's voice over the telephone in eons. not even a guy's voice.
hmm oh yah.. i did call the o2 service centre for changing my contract to a pay as you go. they wouldn't offer me a £10 off each month anymore because i haven't paid anything for the past year.
right.. back to the phonecalls, i'm partial to sounds. i think.. i'm more of a hearing person rather than a visually connected person. but then when i work i have to see the outcome before i understand what is needed. ( if they explain, i think i would have been lost even before they started)
couldn't get through the visa section.
called the second time about 10 mins later.
then this time another girl also with about the similar voice quality. she was asking because when i filled in the form, it was english name, chinese given name. and surname of course la.
but then she mentioned it was different in all forms. ( passport, work permit, and visa app form.)
sigh.. she tried pronouncing name name.. and then because i have a very special chinese name.. written in alphabets.. it's not for the faint hearted.
so she said.. ur name is **** **** **** something ?? she actually said literally "something".. because she couldn't pronounce it.. BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
anyways, then i explained to her it was english given name, and chinese given name. and then my surname.
so it's kinda weird for naming purposes. so .. i'll just leave it as that.
