Ejen pemanggil yang super siot...

A page from the book Buasir Otak the Komik, drawn by me. Nak tengok lagi banyak komik yang lebih kurang sengal macam ni dan dilukis oleh para pelukis yang lain? Sudilah kiranya tuan hamba menjenguk ke Google Play Books untuk membeli senaskah komik ini versi digital di sana. Versi hardcopy sudah lama habis dijual. Nantikan kemunculan Buasir Otak the Komik - 2nd volume pula, akan keluar tidak lama lagi~ wehuuu~ ;3

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Salam Ahad semua. Yosh. I feel rather confident to say that everyone above the age of 20 (or even in their late teens at least) must have come across with those annoying, persistent phone calls coming from calling agents/promoters/spammers/scammers or even pranksters-with-nothing-better-to-do, at least once or twice in our lifetime, no? And lately, these notoriously persistent creatures are getting all hyped-up and super-excited again looking for promising prey. So, apakah jalan efektif yang anda ambil untuk menangani masalah ini dari terus berlarutan menambahkan lagi tensi dalam kehidupan anda?

Dalam era zaman teknologi smartphone ini, jalan yang berkesan ialah install apps yang boleh membantu. I've installed Call Recorder and Whoscall. They're awesome apps. Nak cari pasal messing with somebody while talking on the phone? Nak mengumpat? Nak buat cerita kenakan sesiapa? Haha... think again, think twice, no... think indefinitely. If you're smart, you wouldn't even dream of doing any of that nowadays with all those smart apps available in the market, and they're free for anyone to download and install on their smartphones. With a call recording app., your conversations can easily be recorded and used either against you or to support you in any serious argument later, seriously. 

 

And then there's Whoscall app. With this app, you'll get to see the reported names and updated info about the unfamiliar numbers that pop up on your smartphone's screen. 

It's a community-based app where people can report those numbers as spams/scams/harassment/advertising agents, or 'for other reasons'. They can put odd and funny nicknames to describe those numbers too, which may signify the nuisance level of those reported numbers. 

Another awesome feature offered by this app is, you can set it to block phone calls from private/unknown/withheld numbers. Kasi block saja kumpulan nombor yang gedik sangat nak didaftar sebagai nombor tersembunyi tu.

Kepada para pemilik private/withheld numbers yang persistent tahap gilababun, honestly, apa tujuan kau nak sembunyikan nombor kau kalau kau betul-betul ada hal penting nak cakap, kan? Kalau kau seorang kawan dan/atau ada hal penting nak bagitahu aku, kenapa kau tak nak sms atau whatsapp/wechat/line/telegram/hangout saja aku selepas panggilan kau tidak dijawab? Right? Bila aku angkat panggilan kau, aku memilih untuk berdiam diri untuk dengar kau bercakap dulu bagi salam hello, tapi kau pun turut berdiam diri. Lepas beberapa saat saling berdiam diri, kau letak. Lepas tu kau call lagi hari-hari kecuali hari Ahad, dan aku terus block kau, sebab kau sembunyi nombor kau. Sorry, aku tak ada masa nak layan calls dari orang mentally unstable, meroyan, atau anonymous telemarketer gila, aku kasi block terus. Manusia ni memang makhluk yang complex, tidak kira jantina, bangsa atau agama.

Bagi pemilik smartphone yang masih belum tahu atau belum ada apps ni, bolehlah pergi cari di Playstore dan install sekarang. Don't worry about the possibility of missing any important or serious phone calls from unfamiliar numbers, chances are, you will know who or what they are before picking up any of those calls (except for the unreported ones). As long as you don't block them, their incoming calls will make your smartphone ring as usual. You can then decide what to do next. Have a nice day~ ;3
