I was gonna talk about the obsession with Caucasian-sounding and/or Caucasian-looking personnel by local and Asian TV and movie houses today but I'll leave it for another day.

I wanna talk about this, the fact that I hate to talk on the phone. I hate the idea of people contacting me when I'm in the middle of something. That's why I no longer have MSN messenger on my computer.

I use my phone primarily for its radio function. Class 95 is my friend. However, I still choose to own a phone instead of just a portable radio so I could be reached in an emergency.

I hate people calling my phone to whine, whinge or whatever. It's a waste of time. When you call my phone, it'd better be an emergency. When you call my phone, you'd better be prepared to keep it snappy. At all times.

Other than life and death matters, just send me a text or email so I could check them when I have the time or speak to me when I see you next. At work, there are times when I have to serve customers and I really hate it when people'd call me just to talk about the weather.

Give me half an hour after your text or overnight after your email. If I find your text or email worthy of a response, I will respond. If not, you know why.

And calling me after work for non life and death matters is a big no-no no matter who you are. As outlined in my last post, I reach home, I shower, I pray, I wait for the food to thaw, I cook, I eat then I sleep. Simple as that. Other matters can be taken up with me at a better time.

Should my phone ring after work and should I take a risk to pick your call up and should I find out that it's not an emergency, I will be very pissed off.

Some people work five days a week. Some people work five and a half days a week. Some, six days a week. I work SEVEN days a week. Allow me to have some me time please. It's not too much to ask.

If you can't accept this simple thing, you probably can never. And I'm not willing to live with that.
