This is so hilarious I had to stop my work and post this.

Its an incident regarding me and Chris, my "apparent" repairman. I received a call from him yesterday, enquiring about my bathroom tiles and a ventilator fan. I was rather puzzled, as I had not contacted anyone for house repairs. My house is crumbling, no doubt, but "broken bathroom tiles"? Well, actually, to a certain extent, they are "broken".....and my ventilator fan sure could use some changing although it ventilates perfectly.
Hence, I figured out that although I did not contact the agent in person, my housemate could have done it.

Next day, on the phone, at 10.30am....

Chris: Hi, when will you be getting around?

Me: (Stunned silence).......

Chris: I knocked on your door 10 mins ago. Are you outside? What time will you be getting back? I can hold on for another 20 mins.

Me: I....I'm at home....

Chris: Oh...I've been circling for 20 mins......Are you on no. 18?

Me: This is 3/53....

Chris: (Stunned silence).....

Me: This is 3/53 Munro street, St. Lucia

Chris: I'm at Ashwood......do you know about phone no. xxxxxxxxx?

Me: No....never heard of that before....(long silence, finally the penny drops) I think we both got the wrong person...sorry about that

Chris: (Laughs a little) Oh, no, things like this always happens. They get a wrong number and we get the wrong person.

Me: (laughs with relief/paiseh) Yea....maybe you can go back and check things out....

Chris: Yea, no. 18 Ashwood....where did you say you were at again?

Me: St. Lucia.

Chris: St. Lucia? Where's that?

Me: At the University of Queensland.

Chris: QUEENSLAND!!!! YOU'RE IN QUEENSLAND!!!

Me: ya.....

Chris: I'm in Victoria.

Me: WHAT??!!! YOU'RE NOT IN QUEENSLAND???

Chris: no no...its got abit of a wind here and cloudy...queensland must be good...

Me: Sun and everything....

Chris: (guffaws) This is hilarious....hahahah

Me: hahaha!!! Yea...hilarious....I sure hope you find the correct person

Chris: No worries, I'll just go and check it out again.

Me: Alright, thanks for calling.

Chris: Thanks and hope you have a good time in Queensland...

Me: Thanks, bye.

This will teach me to not make such mistakes again.....thank goodness this person is such a good-natured guy.

A chapter of life in Brisbane.... Chronicles of the house on top of the hill, the lazy Sunday afternoons, the romantic Great Court, and the azure Brisbane River rested beneath the starry heavens.... Also a chapter of life in Singapore, in Malaysia, the place I was born and bred =)
