Wish is an Indian

Sorry. Everyone is seemingly asking me (on msn) if there is something wrong with my English because "Wish is an Indian" doesnt sound very right.

Maybe "Wish I was an Indian" or "Wish to be an Indian" ??

But there is no wrong statement. And my statement is correct.


Now, I know that I would not mind buying a second hand dslr especially from a seller who just bought his 2 days ago, who wants to rid of it to buy a bigger one. I also know he is throwing in a free tripod, 4gb cf card and an extra battery (who doesnt love free stuff?).

So i emailed him - His name: Wish.
and expressed my interest in his sell.

We mananged to speak over the phone and it went something like this:

Mxx: Hello

Wish: OW!

(Oh no. He is Indian.)

(Wait.. Indians arent exactly the most truthful lot.. are they?)

(I speak from experience)

Mxx: (A bit bored) So,.. mm. Wish,.. did you buy this from the recent IT Fair?

Wish: YEAA

(and charging me at $1299? I could retail first hand at $1399!)

You will not be interested with the rest of the conversation because little little wonder.
I decided not to purchase the camera from Wish thereafter.

And I will tell you the truth: I'd rather pay $100 more for a new slr, I could go to the IT Fair this month 28-Aug and load myself with freebies too.

Aah, But yes. You think I am a racist.

Granted I do sound like a complete racist in this regard.

I would like to think not.
But no one would believe anyway.


So I am a racist lor.
