New Blog Template!!=)

Thursday: 5.45pm
Temperature: 24 degrees...warm and sunny=) just like my mood...

i love my new template!!....so pretty right??? i spent my whole afternoon doing it ok? i downloaded it from a website, but have to customize by myself.....take so long lar....=)but anyway, it was totally worth it, as it turned out so nice...=) chocolates! so yummy....

haven't been blogging actively for the past week as i had homework to do.....you know me lar, everything last minute, so haven't really have the time to sit down and write....but i do log in to see if anyone leaves me any comments..=)

ok, something really funny happened today...

today morning after school, i went to top up my 'pay as you go'(prepaid card) phone so i bought a $20 top up card....then have to call up the hotline to activate the value.....and at Rogers, they have this Voice Customer service thingy....so the system is suppose to recognise what are you saying, they have prerecorded responses..... so the conversation went as follows:

Rogers =R

R: Welcome to Rogers !...thank you for using our services..bla bla bla...
Can I please have your # pls?

Me: 514 xxx xxx

R: I would need an identification info of you....Pls enter the 4 digit pin(cannot rmb) or your birthday for identification purposes...

Me: twenty april 1988

R: may i repeat. your birthday is August 17th 1980....is it correct?Pls answer yes or no...

Me: no....it's twenty april 1988

R: *pause*....pls enter the 4 digit pin or your birthday for identification purposes....

Me: April twenty nineteen eightyy eiighttt....(in slow mo)

R: *pause*...may i repeat. your birthday is May 18th 1988...is it correct?

Me: No....

R: *pause* ..pls enter the 4 digit pin or your birthday for identification purpose....

damn weird lar...the system just cant seem to 'catch' what was i saying....this process repeated for a few more times until i was forwarded automatically to a 'human' operator....then later, everything ok oredi....=)

then later, then only i figured out why.....maybe the system wasnt designed to detect 'asian' accent.....really leh....coz sometimes when i talk to my groupmates whom are locals, they cant seem to catch what m i saying becoz of my manglish/singlish accent....i have to always repeat myself....i wasn't even speaking broken english...and i have even stop using all the 'lah, lor, wah' so often already....but i can listen to the canadian english clearly....that's a bit ironic...

ok....will post up photos later...

bye=)
