04.10.2010 | 電話語障

今時今日應該都冇乜邊個係冇手機架喇, 諗返起以前連電話都冇嘅日子, 每次都要同對面屋借電話, 又或者要專登踩單車去街口個電話亭, 畀著而家都真係唔知點樣生存??

但係呢, 我又唔係個鐘意打電話搵人傾偈嘅人噃.. 可能真係唔擅長講嘢啦, 我平時喺個blog度可以長篇大論, 或者MSN我可以一輪咀打成段嘢飛過去.. 但係一講到電話, 我就好似個泄了氣嘅氣球, 顯得有心無力, 所以咪畀人話我冇咩誠意要傾落去咁囉.. 其實唔係架, 你熟悉我就覺得唔係架喇..

不過講開又講, 與其喺電話度傾得咁辛苦, 不如約出嚟見個面, 把膝長談咪仲更加之好?? :p
i guess nowadays there is rarely anyone who doesn't own a handphone.. i still remember back in my kids time when we don't even have a phone at home, we will always need to borrow from the neighbours, or even purposely cycle to the street for the public phone.. i wonder if we can survive like that nowadays??

but then, i'm really not someone who likes to chit-chat over the phone.. maybe it's because i'm not good in that, i can type long story in my blog or even send one long paragraph to you in MSN, but when it comes to talking over the phone, i'm like a balloon loosing its air.. most of the time i go short and sweet, and hence gives the other end an impression that i'm not interested to talk any longer.. actually no, it's really not the case, if you know me well enough then you'd know it's not the case..

by the way, i always wonder since it's such a hassle talking over the phone, why not just meet up to have a good catch-up over a cup or tea?? :p

  1. I cannot understand what was the big deal with Iphone 4 that people were willing to endure long queues just to get their hands on that phone.

    I am not crazy about the latest handphone gadgets. I am more crazy about lenses :)

  6. 自从有了SMS之后
    就很少讲电话了
    其实,讲SKYPE有时也是很奇怪的
    主要还是看对象啦~~

    ReplyDelete
  39. 有時有啲公共電話重壞咗,搞到5、6個人排隊等用一個電話。

    ReplyDelete
  40. 打一通電話用上半個鐘都唔出奇。。。

    ReplyDelete
  41. i still prefer face-to-face but sometimes it's not possible so hp comes in very handy.

    ReplyDelete
  42. if you are buying, i don't mind to come out :p

    ReplyDelete
  43. Thambee I know you like to dance and sing rather than yak on the phone!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Talking long hours will damage the brains if the phone emits heat like microwave ovens. I think these days the phone don't heat up so much anymore.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Korea has more mobile phones than their entire population, as reported by their news. Silly!

    ReplyDelete
  46. So Thambee like to meet up and talk rather than yak on the phone, then we can meet up to chat over nice warm goat milk and thosai under the coconut trees!

    ReplyDelete
  47. Do you remember how to say "Hello" in Tamil?

    ReplyDelete
  48. 可以约出来面对面吹吹水当然是最好不过啦..只不过,对那些距离有点遥远的朋友就没办法咯..只能靠电话联系..

    ReplyDelete
  49. 我啱啱相反,與其長篇大論打成段嘢飛嚟飛去,倒不如打過電話講幾句就搞掂曬。至於煲電話,個幾鐘算唔算啊?

    不過不過,見面嘅時候我反而會比較含蓄,唔喺好中意講嘢。特別喺一班唔熟嘅人面前,最唔擅長交際應酬。

    ReplyDelete
  50. 我都係...要我用電話傾, 好快就冇野講, 不過一用SMS/MSN就成日都講唔完~ 我每月D SMS FEE都不知幾貴~ :(

    ReplyDelete
  51. Its funny to know that the simple life people had before is quite difficult to live by now

    ReplyDelete
  52. in my case i have my own phone eversince after highschool
    but through out this years im still not comfortable accepting calls
    id rather just text them instead

    and i admit i cant live without my phone lol

    ReplyDelete
  53. well we really cant deny the fact that phones are the most convenient and fastest way of communication to those in distance
    but yet there's nothing more especial on having them beside you even for just a short talk

    ReplyDelete
  54. I used to make calls only

    ReplyDelete
  55. These days I don't really talk much on the phone too, because I can talk in person! LOL! But not everyone makes time to meet with friends to catch up really. They are all so very busy!

    ReplyDelete
  56. i tend to b rushed over the hp... save money :)

    ReplyDelete
  57. my mum still don't have one because she said very 'leceh'. Got to take care of the hp when going out. haha......

    moshi moshi..

    @ smallkucing:
    errr, i use it mostly to receive calls from people.. and of course i use more SMS than making outgoing calls lah.. :)

    ReplyDelete
  62. @ Mei Teng:
    well, it's like a trend that everyone must have a Smart Phone with them now.. but i still think iPhone is selling expensive here, but people are just crazy about it.. haha, but i think your damage is more on investing lenses right?? :D

    @ Tekkaus:
    yeah, kids now even carry phones more expensive than the one i'm carrying!! haha, i still remember we use to pay 30sen to the neighbour for making a call, if we are too lazy to purposely cycle to the public phone out there.. you want to meet up?? err, but you are in Malacca lah, how to meet up?? :D

    ReplyDelete
  63. @ 小雪:
    不過有時SMS多幾次, 我真的請願打一通電話, 大家三口六面說清楚, 不用SMS一來一往的那麼麻煩囉, 有時手指也會痛的嘛, 哈哈!! :D

    @ edward:
    咁講電話都係要睇心情同埋同邊個囉, 不過通常我唔會講太耐, 因為覺得耳朵好痛囉, 而且講太耐呢, 個電話輻射好犀利架嘛, 對健康唔好架, 其實我都會覺得個頭痛痛地囉.. 咁講到blog喎, 就梗係會有時嘔唔出嘢寫架啦, 腦塞係好正常架喎.. :)

    ReplyDelete
  64. @ 发白日梦^^:
    哈哈, 那可以肯定你是很會講話的人吧?? 我如果和你談天, 那應該不是說談天, 應該是你講我聽, 哈哈, 因為你應該會是一路有話題的人, 而我就只有聽的份吧?? 哈哈!! :D

    @ reanaclaire:
    haha, of course if can meet up is better lor.. or else phone will be the best communication tools for those apart lah.. hmmm, i really don't like to "boil porridge" actually, because i feel it's something very tiring, especially over handphone, the radiation will make me headache if talk too long..

    ReplyDelete
  65. @ CH Voon:
    yalor, i actually will feel headache if talk too long over handphone one, maybe it's the radiation lor.. so i'd rather use other mode of communcations, eg: MSN, haha!! eih, i have met up with other bloggers ah, but not a lot lah, a few only.. never talked over the phone until we met, so just use emails or sms to plan the meet up first lot..

    @ -KeO-:
    哈哈, 現在電話亭都很難找得到了吧?? 我還是覺得手機方便喇, 手機可是史記偉大發明哦.. 要不然你在自己家建一座電話亭吧?? 呵呵~~

    ReplyDelete
  66. @ Chris Chia:
    對囉, 現在的人通常都會用SMS的, 但是SMS有一個壞處就是, 對方可能會錯意, 又或者需要來來往往幾輪才把事情弄清楚.. 所以要SMS還是直接了當把話說清楚, 要好好選擇哦..

    @ foongpc:
    haha, yeah.. but sometimes i prefer talk than SMS, because SMS might be inefficient and you'll ding dong ding dong for a long time.. anyway, meet up is the best yeah?? haha..

    ReplyDelete
  67. @ fufu:
    of course texting or calling will be more efficient depending on what kind of situation.. sometimes if after few SMS still there's no decision, i'll just pick up the phone and make the call, just get things settled over the phone, it's easier than having to type unnecessary SMS, right??? haha, but i just cannot leave my handphone at home now leh, feel quite unsecure, because many people will be calling me~~ :p

    @ wkw:
    其實我也不是打很多電話的, 手機就是方便別人找我啊, 手機本來就是這個用處的吧, 對嗎?? 只是現在越出越多款式, 功能多到很多都不會用到的..

    ReplyDelete
  68. @ bluedreamer27:
    haha, my first phone is when i started working in 2000!! that's quite a late handphone yeah?? haha.. now i guess kids already carrying one with them, and most probably more expensive than ours, haha!! yeah, i'm not really into chit chat, but if there's things that need to be or better to be settled over the phone, then only i'll do that.. else maybe i'll just send messages.. :)

    @ suituapui:
    what?? calling to kuching RM9.60 a minute and need to go through operator?? hmmm, how many years back was that?? i don't think we have operators now right?? everywhere in the world, you're able to dial direct already now..

    ReplyDelete
  69. @ Donna:
    actually i also very late only have my first handphone leh.. it was back in 2000 when i started to work.. last time still not so common lah, but then nowadays, if don't carry handphone with me it's like missing something one lor.. actually handphone is necessary right now lah, people want to find you or for emergency mah.. your colleague very funny lor, still so resistant to own a handphone?? really very conservative thinking woh.. eih, so when the colleague finally bought a handphone, you all got ask why or not?? haha..

    @ Donna:
    actually hor, i think talking too long over the phone is not good leh.. many times after long chat, i will feel headache one, i think it's because of the radiation lor.. not good for health one leh, and the ears actually feel tired and the heat.. but then only if the person is super talkative lah, because i normally very short and sweet over the phone one mah, not like over MSN or email or SMS i can type long winded message one.. oh, is it?? it's Maxis problem ah?? sometimes i talking to friends horrr, then suddenly the line will get cut off one woh.. i thot what happened, thot my friend just hang up like that so rude.. but i think it's Digi lah, because my friend using Digi and say always no line so half way talking will get cut off one..

  70. @ khengsiong:
    哈哈, 係啊係啊, 你唔講我都唔記得添, 有時排長龍真係好嬲架!! 不過都真係好耐冇用公共電話喇, 冇咩印象囉而家.. 今時今日, 一人一部電話, 都唔駛爭啦..

    @ wenn:
    of course face to face is better, because you can see the expression and feel the tones of the person.. whereas over the phone, sometimes there will be misunderstanding..

    ReplyDelete
  71. @ justin.net:
    hehehe, no problem.. buying you a drink only mah, not buying you a phone~~ :D

    @ Twilight:
    haha, Arumugam you know me so well.. of course, i love to dance and sing and run around the bushes in front of the camera as if i'm making a bollywood MV mah.. so talking over the phone really is not my cup of tea, wakakakakaka!! yeah, i actually find a bit headache after talking long over the phone, especially the ears will feel heated up, must be the radiation from the phone lor.. and how dare you to have forgotten your mother tongue?? "Hello" in Tamil is "Vanakam" my dear Arumugam~~ :p

    ReplyDelete
  72. @ nons:
    那當然是說靠近的朋友啦, 遠方的朋友當然就只有靠電話電郵之類的東西聯繫囉.. 不過如果可以的話MSN最好囉, 哈哈!! 因為我MSN比講電話厲害嘛~~ :D

    @ 海市蜃樓:
    咁當然啦, 如果SMS飛嚟飛去都冇一個結論, 我就會當機立斷拎起部電話, 直接三口六面講清楚囉, SMS打得多個手指都會痛啦係嘛?? 所以話囉, MSN我會好犀利完全可以天馬行空, 如果講電話就會略微遜色, 如果講到見面嘅話, 我好可能會似你咁, 完全唔識講嘢添架!! 哈哈~~ :D

    ReplyDelete
  73. @ JC:
    哈哈, 就係囉, 講電話我通常好快就收線架喇.. 但係MSN就可以天馬行空天花亂墜囉.. 其實我想問點解會咁嘅?? 我電話單, SMS係多過call架, 哈哈..

    @ poorprince:
    yeah, because we have been so dependent on the technology now, given that we are going back to basic, for sure we cannot get used to it.. and of course, i can say many cannot survive without a handphone, though we may not be using the phone for one whole day.. just feel like something missing if we left the phone at home yeah?? hahaha.. and yes, i gotta agree with you that, handphones are one of the greatest inventions of mankind..

    ReplyDelete
  74. @ Pete:
    wow, i think i use to SMS and receive calls more than i make calls lor..

    @ iamthewitch:
    yeah, if can meetup then of course it'll be better to chat over a cup of tea or have a meal together.. as for those forever busy friends, i guess occassionally a call or an sms will be good enough, agree?? :)

    ReplyDelete
  75. @ Bengbeng:
    haha, actually not to save rush to save money, but really i won't have too much to talk over the phone.. i always keep things short and sweet~~ :p

    @ mNhL:
    hmmm, older people are like that lah.. my dad also doesn't carry a handphone with him, he won't know how to use, haha!! :p

  76. @ CH Voon:
    haiyah, of course she needs to spam in order to keep her first place in the commenter list mah.. haha!! :D actually good also lah, company give you chance to go to those unpopular places, those popular ones you can go on yourself mah.. maybe you are more strong, so send you to those unpopular ones to solve problems lor, hehe~~ :D

    @ 天王之子:
    哈哈, 其實現在的電話, 真的太多功能了, 多到很多都不會用, 又或者本來的電話功能都已經變成配角那樣, 哈哈!!! :D

    ReplyDelete
  83. Agreed. I rather meet up for a chat...coz there will be food XD

    ReplyDelete
  84. @ Bananazஇ:
    hehe, yeah, i also like this to be KISS (i like this abbreviation).. because talking too long over the phone, i can feel heat on my ears, not good for health eh?? haha, you are most welcome for that, and i hope you enjoy scripteasing also?? kekekeke~~ :D haha, badnewspaper?? hmmm, i purposely touch-up for that effect~~ :)

    @ bluedreamer27:
    yeah, kids now carry phones that are more expensive and more high-end than mine.. hmmm, don't you think they are really lucky?? you have a great weekend ahead too~~ :)

    @ Kelvin:
    haha, not necessarily there will be food, but i guess at least a drink?? and you can actually feel the emotion of the people talking.. :)

    ReplyDelete
  86. 还记得我家是在我工作后才按电话的,
    手提也是二十几岁后才买的。
    可见我们都经历了很多‘旧时代’。
    证明我们是‘老’一趟的人了!>_<'
    我也不喜欢讲电话久久,
    一来,避免镭射,
    二来,这么好谈的话,不如见面喝茶好好谈。

    ReplyDelete
  87. yeah, i also don't like to talk too long over the phone.. cos the ear will feel the heat, and if over mobile phone, the radiation could be very harmful..

    ReplyDelete
  88. but sometimes i think we need to consider which is the best communication channel.. it could be email, MSN or just a ring to be more efficient.. :)

    ReplyDelete
  89. @ Ashley:
    如果沒有記錯, 我家是大概90年才安電話, 然後我是2000年開始工作的時候, 才自己買了第一部手提電話的, 當時同事和朋友都一直催我買手機, 哈哈!! 當然, 我當然是老人一族了, 我沒有否認的, 哈哈!! 嘩, 你的手機有"鐳射"?? 是輻射吧?? :D

    @ victor:
    oh yeah, talking too long over the mobile phone is definitely not good for health.. it's the heat and the radiation that sometimes make me feel headache.. not good not good.. you are right, sometimes i just make a call to get things confirmed rather than ding-dong with emails or SMS.. :)
