One Afternoon

The other day... i was walking home from town, carrying my groceries... and this elderly man smiled at me and said "How're u?", the typical Aussie greeting.

Was told that in Aust, u'd have to layan everyone. Be nice to everyone. So i smiled back, said "Good (smiles). How're you??", my automatic reply (if u ask me "how are u?" on the phone u would get me saying that)

Then he asked "where're u from?".
"Malaysia", i said.

"How long have you been here?"
"Three months", i answered.

"Monash Uni?", he asked.
"Yeah."

"What're u studying?"
"Business"

"Accounting?"
"Yeah"

I found that very weird... and what's weirder was that he pulled out his name card and asked me to call him. "I just want to speak to you", he said vaguely, and told me he was rushing off to the ANZ bank before closing...

Looked at the name card. Its so plain. Makes no mention of an accounting firm or whatever. The guy's a director.

E helped me check up the company's ACN number and we found that the company has been deregistered 2 years ago!
