Was dealing with suppliers these days
Ya...at this moment when many people sitting at home for their thesis,
I'm still dealing with these stuff
Thanks to my supervisor...
And my conversation always starts with
"Hi. Mr/ Mrs XXX. I'm Miss Hii calling from IMU. May I know do you sell any osmometer?"
Then there were several responses, the top one was
"HAR? What?"
" Osmometer"
"HAR? What is it for? Can you describe it?"
"Ermm...It's for measuring osmotic pressure. I need to test osmolality of certain natural product."
"Owh...owh...sorry we don't have it."
Got one uncle even responded
"I don't have osmometer but I have thermometer, you want?"
"""=.="""
Uncle...is too different la!
In which I don't know whether I should cry or laugh on such response
Yeah, it can be whole noon calling ended up with no one selling such weird instrument, but I received lots of "HAR?".
But finally out of 20++ I called, there were 4 of them having it and the responses were
"Yaya...may I know which one you want? There are bla bla bla....."
Yeah...it successfully stunned me for seconds
as I have no idea about this thing and forced me to read more afterwards
But always there was another "HAR?" session at the end of the conversation
when they asked me for name and email
"Miss, may I have your name and email address ?"
"Miss Hii here. H-I-I"
"HAR? Sorry, H-I-I?"
"Ya. H-I-I"
Got another aunty even worse
"Miss, may I have your name and email address ?"
"Miss Hii here. H-I-I"
"HAR?"
"H-I-I. Email address bla bla bla"
"Miss Hii here. H-I-I"
"HAR?"
"H-I-I. Email address bla bla bla"
"Ok. Let me confirm again ah....Miss Hee, H-E-E bla bla bla"
"Nonono....is H-I-I. Double 'I' "
"OWH...HAHAHA...Sorry sorry"
=.='''
Now I have learnt to answer the last question with
"I will text you my full name with my email address, ok?"
No more "HAR" please
=/
Antisocialising now and appreciate to be alone
Blame the post-effect of talking too much with suppliers
Hugs staff officers for giving me supports
