Ever since I-don’t-remember-which summer when I was back for vacation,  I realized people keeps calling my house and asks for 大熊.  Sometimes once a month, sometimes 3 times a week, sometimes zero times a week/month. I should have plot the trend. Who knows, if 大熊 is having a party this month at his/her house, maybe more calls?!?

“大熊嗎?” or  “是不是大熊那裡?” or “大熊…”

So each time, whoever answers the phone that asks for this famous 大熊, we would politely say  “Sorrie, you’ve dialed the wrong number.”  Only a few callers just wouldn’t trust our can’t-be-more-firm-enough answer and ask “isn’t it  XXX-XXXX?”  Yes. its this number here but no, theres no 大熊 here.  Or No, you’ve dialed the wrong number.

That wrong number IS 大熊’s right number. I should have remember that number and call 大熊 to remind him/her to write numbers legibly and hope 大熊 would leave a correct number next time for his/her friends so that they can easily reach him/her. My family wouldn’t want 大熊 to miss any important phone calls.

Hmmm…I wonder what 大熊 looks like? Hot? Cute? Chubby? Ugly? Dazzling? Disgusting?

Time goes on and 大熊 dude has faded in my memory while I was out of the country. But this time back, people are STILL calling for 大熊.  Haven’t his/her friends realize that they have the wrong number? No one ever tells 大熊 that when they try to reach him/her, they’ve got the wrong number? If none of 大熊’s friends tell him/her that they don’t have the correct number, we would probably have to pick up phone calls asking for 大熊 one more day.

But today, mystery is FINALLY solved. Just.like.that. How?  Today, some lady called and asked for 大熊…again. [How surprising] But she asked differently, “大熊火鍋嗎?”  Nope. wrong number.

Wait…Huh? What? 火鍋? All this time,  I’ve imagined 大熊 to be a human being, is in fact a ummm, store? No wonder none of its friends tell it that they’ve got the wrong number. Whos fault is it that people calls the wrong number then? I stalked 大熊. I googled 大熊.  大熊火鍋達人 to be exact. Out of 7 numbers,  only one number is different from mine. Oooooooh. No wonder. Guess I can’t blame 大熊’s handwriting can I? 大熊 friends’ eyes and whichever finger they use to dial the phone are the ones to blame.

Wanna know what 大熊 looks like?!?

大熊...kinda cute huh?

While the mystery is solved, phone calls asking for 大熊 might continue.  Let it continue. I don’t have to imagine what 大熊 looks like anymore though. In fact, 大熊 lives pretty close to my house. I might visit him, I mean, It, some other day.
