Gotcha Calls

8/25

Gotcha calls, gotta get-get...
Gotcha calls, gotta get-get...

... This jingle sounds familiar? I'm sure some who are "fortunate" enough to get stuck in massive jam anywhere in Malaysia every morning, will somehow turn on their radio to listen to 1 of Malaysian's favorite radio station - Hitz.fm - during these agonizing hours. The morning crew and their programs, I'm sure everyone would agree in fierce nods, are so hilarious & cheeky, that they could relief your mind for a while. Especially the "Gotcha Calls".

Just by thinking of it now brings giggles to my good self.

And I'm itched to introduce to you our in-house DJ - Mr. Kelvin Tee, hosting his very own home-made "Gotcha Calls"...
"Radio-Station" Venue: Grand Kampar Hotel, Room 323
Date: 11th August 2009 Time: 10:00 - 10:30p.m.

Gotcha #1: Room 316 - The Accident

Naveen in his room thinking of wanting to go out for a chill, and thus ring up 8323.

Naveen: Hello bro.
Kelvin: Hello good evening, Grand Kampar Hotel receptionist. *in a very masculine voice*
Naveen: Err... *pause* Can I talk to someone in Room 323?
Kelvin: Yes, you are speaking to Room 323 *still in a very masculine voice*
Naveen: Err... no... I want to speak to Mr. Kelvin in Room 323. *apparently poor Naveen still can't notice that he's being conned*
Kelvin: Hold on a moment please.

Kelvin shouts my name in whisper, keep pointing the phone clutched in his hand and mouthed "Naveen! Naveen! Hahahahahaha...". Apparently he was too into his acting that he didn't realize that I was watching him all the while. I giggled and was thinking "what the hell" all this while.

After regaining his breath, the drama continued...

Kelvin: Hey bro!! You looking for me ar?
Naveen: Hey bro, when are we going out for some beer?
Kelvin: In half an hour time la... ok ar?
Naveen: Okok. No problem bro.
Kelvin: Eii so bro, see you later @ 10:30pm @ the lobby la.
Naveen: Okok, see you later bro.

LOL!!! The whole room was filled with nuts laughter. For those who is confused of what's so hilarious about this, and why I named this incident as "The Accident", I'm here to explain...

In GKH, if you wanna talk to anyone in another room, you just hafta press "8" followed by the room number, and you will be connected straight away to that person. I believe it works almost the same with other hotels as well. Perhaps because GKH is located in such isolated town, Naveen would thought the system is abit outdated. LOL. And, initially Kelvin thought it was KC (a long time buddy) calling him and thus wanna prank him. Turn out it was Naveen! He has got no choice but to continue with the drama. OMG.

Somehow, he got excited and so, here come the rest of the story...

Gotcha #2: Room 328 - Oops! He Did It Again!

*Ring ring* Mindy, who was still enjoying her hot shower in the bathroom, happened to pick up the phone.

Kelvin: Hello, this is Grand Kampar Hotel's management. Is this Mr. Kelvin Tee?
Mindy: Err... no no...
Kelvin: Can I speak to Mr. Kelvin Tee?

Scene in Room 328
Mindy, who was still in blurry mode, called out for her roommate - Hazel - to take over the phone.

Kelvin: Hello, Can I speak to Mr. Kelvin?
Hazel: Err...
Kelvin: Is Mr. Kelvin staying in this room?
Hazel: Err... no...
Kelvin: Okay, I need you to vacant the room because according to our record, Mr. Kelvin Tee haven't pay the room fees. Thus we have no choice, and need you to vacant the room now.
Hazel: So you need us to vacant the room? Now?
Kelvin: Yes now. We will be sending someone to inspect the room now, so I need you to vacant your room as soon as possible.
Hazel: Okok...

Scene in Room 328
Hazel called out to Mindy to stop bathing already, as they need to vacant the room immediately. Oh no no no... =.=" (of course, it's from the feedback on the next day)

Scene in Room 323
LOL-ing. Kelvin LOL-ed non-stop that he had to roll on the bed. I rolled my eyes.

His excitement didn't just stop here...

Gotcha #3: Room 325 - Wa Chin Chia Beh-Tahan Arrrrr...
The below conversation is done in Mandarin to make it sounds more realistic. And Kelvin hafta use those high-pitched tone Chinese DJ usually have to speak as well. Just listening to the way he spoke give me goose bumps! For this entry purpose, the conversation is translated into English.

Kelvin: Is this Tea Chew Boon? Can I speak to Tea Chew Boon?
Stephy: Oh... Chew Boon ar... Wait for a moment please.
C.Boon: Yes?
Kelvin: Are you Tea Chew Boon?
C.Boon: Uh-huh...
Kelvin: Hi Chew Boon, I'm DJ from 1.fm... did you ever heard of the program "Wa Chin Chia Beh-Tahan Arrrrr..." ?
C.Boon: Err... nope...
Kelvin: Neh... I'm the DJ hosting that "Wa Chin Chia Beh-Tahan Arrrrr..." lor... Your supervisor called me up just now saying that you Beh-Tahan your job already right? You have a tummy of fire and it needs to be released. This program provide you with a platform to release your grunts and complaints, and shouts out loud "Wa Chin Chia Beh-Tahan Arrrrr..." in the end. So remember to call tomorrow morning at 8a.m ya! I repeat, 8a.m. ya!!
C.Boon: Err...
Kelvin: You just need to press 8 followed by 323.
C.Boon: Err... okok.

Apparently Chew Boon did not get the joke, and Kelvin did not get the chance to say "Gotcha~!". That poor girl she musta be too stunned.

You can imagine yourself how crazy was this! How crazy was Kelvin! He laughed till his eyes filled with tears & can't stand up! OMG!! I'm outta words by the time he was done laughing... Or so I thought he was...

He continued with calling every & each of them to explain and "Gotcha~!" them. =.="

I wonder will everyone kill him the first thing they see him later?
