i have on hand too many pieces of fishing rod. therefore, i posted an advertisment on a fishing forum, hoping somebody will fall for it and quote me a decent offer. and yes, so did many of them. their offers were all reasonable. but one, nicked KemejanHunter (kemejan being this very huge and monsterlike fish that is almost extinct in our Singapore waters), had to irritate me with all his questions. initially, i entertained him a bit when he first added me on messenger. soon, it got really irritating. yes, i know, i ought to be polite, expressive, and all that shit, but fucking hell, look at the questions he's asking me.! i think he wants to court me. (:
question no.1.KemejanHunter. says:
whats the lure weight for the connosieur?
IT IS A GOD DAMN ROD, IT DOESN'T HAVE A FRIGGIN' LURE WEIGHT. A LURE WEIGHT IS ONLY APPLICABLE FOR LURES. IT'S THE ROD'S POUNDAGE. FUCKING AND BLOODY HELL. it's as good as browsing through a few bottles of perfumes, and ask the assistant, "what's your weight.?" it doesn't link yo, it doesn't. so i replied, trying to be as kind as i could.
joey. are you 30 enough.? says:
no lure weight one lah bro.
cheeky man, this fellow. he still had the guts to ask me,
KemejanHunter. says:
then
then i do a chokeslam on you, then headbutt from top rope lah. not enough, give you one rock's bottom.so, i took time to explain,
joey. are you 30 enough.? says:
8-14lbs means 8-14lbs alr. haha.
then came the 2nd lame question, also an assurance to me that he wants to chase me.
KemejanHunter. says:
have you tried the rod for luring?
he asked about my personal life.! i did reply, not knowing his motive, because his question will surely not help in developing our sales' progression.
joey. are you 30 enough.? says:
yes.
THEN CAME THE WINNER'S QUESTION. LIKE, DEAL OR NO DEAL.? THE BANKER OFFERS 500K, DOUBLE OF WHAT YOU CAN EARN WITH A PROBABILITY OF 1/26.!
KemejanHunter. says:
what was the lightest lure u cast with it?
now, right now, i don't understand, and i didn't want to give a damn. my lightest lure i cast out into the vast blue oceans.? first right, how would i know.? second left, how would i remember.? i don't carry a weighing scale everytime i go to fish (although some would, but definitely not for weighing their lures that look so small and tiny, it can pass as a nail clipper, but their catches), do i.?
KemejanHunter. says:
i mean the weight
of course.? or else the colour of the rod.? when it comes to casting, weight is the only factor a normal fisho would consider. as simple as - if i cast mdm neo out to the oceans, my rod won't break, but if i cast mr alfred goh, it would.? yes. but i have to thank him for his reminder. so damn gentle okay. like one strand of hair tickling your left cheek.
i remained polite.
joey. are you 30 enough.? says:
... how'd i remember.?
then he replied, which was more
xialan than ever.
KemejanHunter. says:
can you cast 10 gms far?
meaning, can you cast lures (weighing 10 grams) far.? since luring requires the act of provoking, faking, or just plainly,
luring, you have to cast your plastic lure out far enough to achieve a suitable distance. you will then reel it back slowly, hoping a live fish will take your lure and get hooked. the greater the distance you can achieve, the larger the area you can cover, the higher chances of you hooking up a fish.
so back to the point. 10 grams.? 10 grams is what.? 2 pubic hair, or 6.?
soon after, i couldn't take it anymore. i had to end this lame conversation to get my sleep, after Ocean's 13 with my dad just now at Suntec City. and i tried,
joey. are you 30 enough.? says:
bro, actually i'm quite firm with the price of the rod. to add on to that, this rod is very versatile and i'm sure it's quite a famous yet budget rod.
joey. are you 30 enough.? says:
actually, it depends on your reel's line poundage also. (answering his 10 grams question)
joey. are you 30 enough.? says:
yah.
KemejanHunter. says:
ok
i didn't reply, i didn't want to. BUT HE DID.!
KemejanHunter. says:
hey i ask you something ar..
KemejanHunter. says:
i got this prawn rod.. but the tip guide broke
KemejanHunter. says:
how to repair?
i want to take a gun and shoot a bullet through his eye. bloody dumb donkey. you're as dumb as... ... the magnets on my refrigerators - they're stucked up to the walls of the refrigerators. and you are as stucked up as they are. when something is spoilt, you try to handle it yourself because you want to save time and because you want to save on money. when all else fails, you send it for repair respectively.! if your computer is spoilt, you check your warranty, and send it to the respective computer repair company. if your guitar is spoilt, you make a trip down to peninsula and make your repair there at the guitar shops. you don't send your broken laptop to the prata shop off bukit timah road.? neither do you send your loose tv to your neighbour and say, "repair for me
lehzz." my answer was damn straight. as straight as i am, as the steel ruler in my drawer, and as straight as the borders of my flat-screen monitor.
joey. are you 30 enough.? says:
when the tip of your prawn rod breaks or chips off, you bring your rod to the prawning rod's shop and have it repaired.
heavenly reply.? NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIM.!
KemejanHunter. says:
but the shop out of business laio
KemejanHunter. says:
liao
this is fucking
piang eh lah. firstly, i have to thank him for the spelling correction. secondly, i have to thank him for his stupidity. good job. really, good job. they do have franchises, branches, and i bet with you my life, it is impossible for such a widely gamed product to be sold only at one place in Singapore, because... ... i have no explanation for that, but your requirement for an explanation is equivalent to your requirement to seek a doctor's consultation.
so i replied, sweetly.
joey. are you 30 enough.? says:
maybe you can try other shops.?
makes sense.? then he thanked me.
KemejanHunter. says:
ok thnks for the advice
it is considered an advice.? good job again.!
*eh want to go out.?
*no lah, thanks for the advice.
*go grab some food at clementi.?
*okay, thanks for the advice.
*you interested in one punch in your face.?
*sure, thanks for the advice.
THIS IS AN ADVICE.? and then he had to spell his 'thanks' in short form, 'thnks', i thought he was from FOB lah.
thnks fr th advce.BYEBYE, tired and irritated.!
