5:11pm, Malaysia’s Independence Day: I woke up to a phone call from some mobile number, 01?6997081. I pretended to know who it was, while sounding sleepy. Somehow she knew my name was Albert. There were giggling female voices in the background.<\/p>\n

Me<\/b>: Are you Dide<\/a>‘s friend?
\nHer<\/b>: Who’s Dide? I’m Mimi.
\nMe<\/b>: Do you know any Christines?
\nHer<\/b>: Er, Christine… Christine who ah?<\/p>\n

Somehow I got it down to her liking iced Milo and fried mee. She just finished 5 minutes worth of credit. To that I respect her, being an honorable stalker and not just missed-calling me.<\/p>\n

I then went back to sleep.<\/p>\n

The mystery plagued me! Aaah! Damnit, I must find out, Watson!<\/p>\n

I called her back, and 5 minutes of useless interrogation that was. She then messaged, saying that I’ll never guess.<\/p>\n

She wasn’t a random number pranker; otherwise, she’d have done a mighty good job of guessing my name.<\/p>\n

She sounded educated, but with a Malaysian accent.<\/p>\n

If you have any clues to her identity or whereabouts, you will be rewarded with iced Milo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
