Startled.

I was startled awake by the ringing of my handphone.
It was a lady from Standard Chartered. Probably wanting to ask me to sign up for some investment plan etc.

However before she could say much, I interrupted her saying that I am a student so as not to waste her time talking to me.

Her reply was something I did not expected. Usually when I get calls like this, when I replied that I am a student, be it Prudential, AIA or some companies which I have forgotten. All I get is "Okay, byebye.... tooott.... tooottt.....".

This lady was much different. She said, "Oh, Its okay. Happy New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai. Enjoy your day. Byebye."

Maybe the service sector in Singapore has some hope after all.
