I got a few calls from an unfamiliar number at 2AM last night. Of course, my phone was on Silent and I ignored it.
Then as early as 10AM, it rang again. Wow, I thought. This caller just never give up. Just look at the calls on my phone.
Normally I don’t answer calls from unknown number but since this caller is distracting me from watching Veronica Mars, I decided to give this one a break.
Me: Hello.
Caller: Hi. Can I speak to Tri or Tria?
Me: Tria who??
Caller: Tria. She’s also known as Tri.
Me: Tri, Tria, Triangle.. I don’t know anyone with that name. You must’ve called the wrong number.
Caller: OK, that’s weird. You MUST have known anyone with the name Tria.
Me: Eh, why should I? The last time I checked, my name wasn’t Tria. Nor do I have friends with that name.
Caller: So who are you?
Me: I’m not Tria. You got the wrong number.
Caller: *sigh* Where are you from then?
I have the urge to tell her I’m a real estate agent from KL and ask if she’d like to purchase a brand new house. But the caller, a woman, sounded like she was about to cry, so I know this is something serious.
Me: I’m from KL.
Caller: But KL is huge.. which part are you from?
Me: Right in the heart of KL.
Look lady, I think you’ve got the wrong number..
At this point, the lady’s voice changed. Like she’s crying or something.
Caller: But how could it be? Your number was on my husband’s cellphone. You must be Tria..
Me: Your husband???
Caller: Yes, my husband. There was a few incoming calls from your number in his cellphone and a couple of text messages. He saved your number in his cellphone under the name “Tria”.
Me: OK, that’s weird. Who’s your husband? What’s his name?
Caller: Zainul. But he’s also known as “Arif”.
Me: Zainul?? Ariff?? I don’t know anyone with that name! *laughed* Nor did I ever called anyone named “Zainul” from my cellphone.
Caller: Now that’s weird. I knew something is weird here.
I have no idea what’s so weird…
Caller: Are you sure you don’t know Zainul?
Me: Positive!
Caller: You really, really sure you don’t know him? You never called him?
Me: YES, honest!
Caller: Well then… ok. I’m so sorry.. I’m so sorry for disturbing you..
Me: Nah.. no problem.
And with that, she hung up.
Now who on earth is this “Zainul”?! And how the heck did my number end up in his cellphone??! Geez. For nothing I got a wife calling me up to investigate. LOL!
Does this mean someone is using my number to make their calls? Do I need to change my phone number? But I hate to change my phone number! I kinda like it. Changing number would mean telling all my family and friends on the new change AGAIN! Eeeeeeeee…!! -_-
And as for you “Tria”.. stop fooling around with that lady’s husband lah.. What goes around comes around, you know.
Cindy: I’m considered lucky lah dis coz the wife didn’t cursed at me. LOL

Hahahaha.. ndak pasal2 kena tuduh pulak. Bestnye.. I mean,.. now im not sure what I want to say already. Just ignore next time ok.

Cindy: OMG I think I have to check with my mommy and see if my name was “Cindy” or “Tria”.

Hello…is tria there? i mean cindy?
Hehehe…
i knw im being rude but normally if i got a wrong number calls, right after saying, “sorry, wrong number.” i terus hung up b4 giving chance to the other line to further talk.
Hehehe
Cindy: Yeah, normally I’d just hang up too.. but I dunno why I wanted to continue the conversation with her yesterday. Maybe it’s because of her sad tone…

Kesian Cindy. It’s bad that strangers keep calling you. But it’s worse that you’re ‘suspected’ of being the ‘other’ woman.
Eh..you really get all sorts of weird calls from your phone? How can tolerate it all this while? Hmm…take some action lah…Change your number or …change your name to ‘Tria’…LOL!
Cindy: That phone number changing is hard.. I think I’ll just change my name instead. LOL!

Mungkin number tu memang setted Tria in her husband’s HP. Tapi time dia called set ko, ter-terbalik kali the last 2 digits. :hehe:
OR
Maybe dia tau she called the wrong number, just to tutup malu, buat some coversation-lah. :huhu:.
Cindy: Yeah, I suspected that too. Maybe he takut kadapatan, he changed the last 2 or 4 digits .. in case of emergency. LOL

Whether your case is a legit case of the husband cheating on his wife or not, I’d say the husband is really a dim witted ****head. No hubby in his right mind will save his mistress handphone number in such an obvious manner. But then, dim wits like them will always think “My wife is too dumb to check my handphone”. I hope he gets Bobbit-ed soon. He is giving men a bad name.
Cindy: OH YES! I agree on the Bobbit part! His wife should Bobbit him for cheating on her AND saving the mistress’ number in his cellphone. I mean.. how could he?!! Practically, he involved ME (the innocent one) in this case!
December 2nd, 2007 at 2:07 pm
Wui! Bikin takut oh if other ppl using your number… some more the wife calls!
I never talk with unknown callers… scary
Cindy: LOL ya lah, bikin takut juga ni kena tuduh bukan-bukan. Nasib baik my name was not Tria. :-P

Alaa.. kesian si cindy kena tuduh jadi miss tria bitch.. I seriously wouldn’t wanna be in that lady’s shoes at this moment. So kesian kena cheat by the husband. That bastard!
Cindy: Tu lah tu, that stupid Zainul. Got affair then aku pulak yang kena tuduh jadi si Tria. That poor wife sound very kesian lagi tu.. :-(

Your handphone ni betul2 banyak drama! Kan bagus if our handy got a spam box whenever this number appear again it goes directly into our handy trash bin.
Memang kesianlah the wife, luckily she believed you, tiada pasal you nanti kena marah.
If this happened again, then I guess you really need to change your number.

You actually went through a whole conversation. I never answer calls I don’t recognize the number. I have mailbox so they can leave a message if it’s urgent.
But I have answered a wrong number once before and this guy was asking for Maniam and I said I was Maniam and actually had a 10 minute conversation with him and even invited him and his family over for dinner before hanging up … LOL! I’m sure Maniam would have been surprised seeing him turn up for dinner!

Poor lady…nasib you explained to her patiently…she must have sounded so “kesian” …you’re one good soul! Good girl get good presents coz Santa knows who has been good or bad!
December 3rd, 2007 at 2:33 pm
OMG nick!! That reminds me of the Hotlink ad where he talked to a stranger just for the sake of getting bonus call points!! haha.. Ok, next time I’ll do that too…
