A sad tragic story that made me laugh

I received a forwarded mail from Yin Ming. It's ironic that a sad tragic yet scary story can make me laugh. Read the passage below and you'd understand why I'm such a cruel person. *winks*

Ever heard of the gal who wanted to be cremated with her handphone?



This is a true story of a young college gal who past away last month in Shah Alam. Her name is Priya. She was hit by a lorry. I don't wanna mention the name of the college. She had a boyfriend by the name of Shankar. He stays in Johor. Both of them were deeply in love with each other. They used to spend hours talking on the phone. In fact, u can never see her without her handphone. She spends 3/4 of the day talking to Shankar. Priya's family knows about their close relationship. Shankar is very close with Priya's family. (Just imagine their love) . She used to joke with her frens, "If I pass away please burn me with my handphone." She also repeated the same thing to her parents.



When she passed away suddenly, the funeral procession could not lift her coffin. I was there. A lot of them tried to do so but still cant , everybody including me, had tried to carry the coffin, the result is still the same. Eventually, they called their neighbour, a "bomoh" from Thailand (Pak Darin), who was a fren of her father. He took a seat and started speaking to himself slowly. After a few minutes, he said "This girl misses something here". Then her frens told Darin bout her intentions to have her cremated with her phone. He then opened the coffin and place her phone and SIM card inside the casket. After that they tried to carry the coffin. It could be moved and they carried it into the van easily. All of us were shocked. (Can u feel the fear. i'm shaking at this moment!) Priya's parents didnt inform Shankar that Priya had passed away. (Pity Shankar). After 2 weeks Shankar called Priya's mom.



Shankar : "Atte, I'm coming home today. Cook something nice for me. Dont tell Priya that i'm coming home today. i wanna suprise her."



Her mother replied: "You come home first, i wanna tell u something very important."



When he got to Shah Alam, they told him the truth about Priya. Shankar thinks that they were playing a fool. He was laughing and said "Dont try to fool me. Tell Priya to come out. i have a gift for her. Please stop this nonsense". Then they show him the original death certificate to him. They gave him proof to make him believe. (Shankar started to sweat).



He said... "Its not true. We spoke yesterday. She still calls me."



Shankar was shaking. Suddenly, shankar's phone rang. "See this is from Priya. See this..." he showed the phone to priya's family. All of them told him to answer. He talked using the loudspeaker mode. All of them heard his conversation loud and clear. No cross lines, no humming. It is the actual voice of Priya & there is no way others could use her simcard since it was placed inside the coffin before cremation. They were so shocked and asked for Pak Darin's help again. Pak Darin brought his master (Tok Chen) to solve this matter. He & Darin worked for 5 hours. Then they discovered one thing...

Maxis has the best coverage

Hmm, if you don't understand this joke, it simply means that Maxis (a mobile phone service provider in Malaysia) has such a good coverage that Shankar and Priya are still able to communicate even when Priya is no longer in the same world as Shankar. Hahahahaha. I think this story makes a good advertisement. Hehe.
