This is NOT how you grab clients with a good first impression.
Backstory: I was calling some number to get myself un-subscribed from this pesky SMS competition nonsense that I swear to god I’ve un-subscribed from AT LEAST TWICE ALREADY. This is the pre-recorded introduction that ensued, and got me giggling:
Tankiu for calling ace insurance limited.
From eleven of june to twanny-fus of or-gest, ace is raunching our fus ever lucky draw! Fai out morabou how you can win a mer-such chair and moh werf over chree tao-sun dollar.
For policy and bulling ant query, press wan.
For claims ant query, press tur.
For policy cancellation, press chree.
Oh wiao.
PS: In case you haven’t realised, I have finally caved and decided to add a “Pangsaiglish category. :D
PPS: So I’ve received more than one request for the number - it seems you people doubt my CHRANKRISPSHUN KAYPERBEELEETIS. Tsk tsk. Anyhoo, emiao me if you want it lah. I just don’t think I should put it up here. :P

belle: hah. yeah, i was just saying to vicki yesterday/this morning/sometime recently that i no longer need to mispronounce the word in my head then figure out the “wrong” spelling for it - now it’s second nature. can’t be a good thing.
