LOL we all break into laughter when I replied "Sorry, I don't know ma..."! Hilarious for all of us~ Well today I learned that no matter how smart or how well-knowledge you are, you still will not get a word that you heard! haha...

I also picked up a lot of phone calls during morning and afternoon. Which I heard a lot of wrong names being pronounced. A person called Ms Teoh but she said Ms Seoh, so when I passed the phone to my manager, he was laughing and said "Ms Seoh? haha you told him Ms Seoh so he pronounced it that way~"
