Fans of this blog will remember that it wasn't that long ago before a post was written to compliment a 甘草 actor. Editors of this blog recognize that repeating a blog theme is cheap, unethical and disgraceful and hence, contrary to the first impression created, this post is not intended to pay tribute to the above character. Rather, it is just to re-enact an incident that happened some weeks ago, an incident that left the editor disillusioned at that time and still heart-wrenchingly disappointed today.

Those of you who are alive will be aware of the disaster in China by now. For those who are not interested in this "interesting event", Shame On You!(Slaps back). Anyway, it all happened on that fateful night when MediaCorp did the fundraising show for the disaster. The editor, like many other Singaporeans, was deeply touched by the event and duly wanted to donate a hundred dollars for the cause. Unfortunately and not too suprisingly, the phonelines were jammed for a good half an hour or so before the editor finally gave up and decided to call the "special hotline for donations above $50"...

"Ring..Ring...Ring" (My thoughts: Aha, finally.)

Bing: "Hello."

Me :"Hello."

(Silence for 2-3seconds)

Bing:"You want to donate?"

Thoughts: "Meeeyou...(for the uninitiated, it means NO SHIT)."

Me (politely): "Yah."

Bing:"How marsh you want to donate "

Me: "one hundred."

(Silence for another 2 seconds)

Bing(dulan-ly): "Can you call fifty....arghhh nvm. What is your name...?" (proceeds to take down particulars and gave instructions impatiently).

Kenneth:"Thats all?"

Bing: "Yeah, thanks you ah." (Hangs up)

什么人.
