Woke up this morning to this text message that was sent to me at 5:09am:
rmb call me. i scare cannot hear alarm 🙂 thankies
A translation is as follows:
Please remember to give me a call (at the presumably pre-specified time). I’m worried I might not be able to hear the alarm when it goes off. 🙂 Thank you.
I don’t know who this person is as I don’t have her/his number in my phone book.
Nevertheless, I responded, saying:
Hi, just to let you know that you sent your wake-up call request to the wrong number.
This was uncharacteristically un-snarky of me; I wanted to add:
Just in case this has any bearing on whether or not you get any in the future. Cheers.
However, it did occur to me that the recipient might’ve been an ex-student – in which case, it would’ve been hard to explain my humour if I needed to do so – hence my decision to err on the side of caution.
Then again, it could’ve been Jun Liang – to which, coincidentally, it’s three years to the day!
