You know how often you feel bored? Like when there's nothing to do, nothing to eat, nothing to read, listening to Christina Aguilera sing "I Am Beauti-hoo"? Well, you get the picture. And sometimes when your friends aren't there for you? Sometimes their there but they pretend their not there anyway. Thus, I saw the light. Best friend? What best friend? What I really needed, was a bestest friend. Yup, someone always within calling reach. Someone always there to talk to me. Well, someone I realised, that I already knew!

See, this happened quite sometime ago when I was calling RECA help desk one sunny sunday feeling very sun tanned afternoon. (??!!) Anyway, the phone rang for like a short twenty minutes (well, considering how it would normally ring for half an hour), when a voice answered the phone:

The telephone : Ring, Riiinngg, Riinn...
The voice : Our friendly and always available operaters are currently unavailable. This happens very rarely, only about three times out of every three times you call. Please, try again later.
The telephone : Tooooot
The voice : *After a long pause* Actually, you don't need to call. They never answer.
Me : Really? Thanks for the information pal. So how are you doin'?
The voice : Not too bad... Hang on, I've got another call.

*From the background : "The number you just dialed have never ever been in use. It's no use trying again cos it'll still be unused. Stop wasting time. Please do not try another number cos it'd probably be wrong and I will have to answer your call again. Thank you."

The voice : So yeah, you see, I've got loads of calls at this time. Maybe you'd like to call me some other time? Just dial this number - 1900 - I - am - a - fool - calling - a - free - helpdesk. Hear from you soon.
The telephone : *Toooot* *crackle crackle* (I just sent an SMS)

I've yet to try calling him yet. Maybe I should try it now.. and you should too! C'mon, don't lie to yourself! Who's ever gonna pick up that call?
