The world's local bank

i need a man who can take care of all my bills. oh don't get me wrong, it's not about the money. i'm just incredibly ill-lucked when it comes to monthly bills.

first it was Maxis who wrongly-charged me all sort of crap for 3 months in a row until they finally got it right. then my car loan bank charged me interest because my account is apparently "in arrears". heck, i don't even know what that means.

here comes the mother of all fuckups. i paid 800 bucks (the full amount) for my previous month's credit card bill through a cash deposit machine. when i received my latest credit card statement, the bank only deducted 200 bucks from the total amount plus interest for accumulated unpaid sum. ohkaay, so they've got it wrong and i have the receipts to prove it. (yeah i did something totally out of character and kept the receipts! can u believe it??)

fyi, i paid the bills in two turns, rm200 and rm600, because apparently 16 notes is too much for the stupid machine to handle. neways, i had a heart attack upon closer inspection of the two receipts. in miniscule prints, the rm600 transaction was actually cancelled.

IS THIS A CONSPIRACY TO PUSH ME INTO THE DEEP END?? BECAUSE IF IT IS, IT'S WORKING.

the helpline operator asked me why didn't i report the incident to the personnel-in-charge right on the spot. why? i'll tell you why:

1. the money did not come out but the receipt and credit card did.
2. the machine LCD did not indicate that the transaction was cancelled.
3. there was no personnel-in-charge at that time (it was a saturday).

p/s: my stress level charted an all-time high today.

SHIT, dat is SHIT! sorry about ur misfortune, but i guess everyone will have their turns of misfortune as time comes. make sure u write enough letters to get urself off-hook. n let the credit card ppl know dat they(the bloody machine) took ur money n u assume it's paid. tell them to waive the interest, a lot of times it would work, as they also realise dat there are a lot of mishaps with the system.

oh, n write a letter to complain about the stupid machine, don't expect anythin back in return. heck, DON'T write the letter, it won't do anythin good.

cheers for not goin crazy~

I'm on the other side and I can tell you it's no fun

That's it. I can't stand it anymore. I'll have to shoot the next (non-single) person who tells me that being a single girl about town is "so much fun". Who do you rely on to carry your heavy shopping? Who do you call when you are hopelessly lost on the road? Who do you "pretty please" when some menial task needs to be done? Who do you hug and never want to let go when everything goes wrong? I have not been completely open to a lot of people, primarily because the reasons behind the break-up is very personal to me. To explain them is akin to dissecting my heart, i.e extremely painful. When a colleague unknowingly brought up the topic during new year's eve, "How will you be celebrating with your bf?", from my devastated and awkward expression, he actually jumped to the conclusion that i was dumped. Which suits me great, because in this case people usually feel too sorry for you and will not further embarass you with more questions. So i sort ...

Is love compromising?

try as i might, all i want to do is to wave the white flag. it took me five years to realize that i can't change a man. now i'm stuck in a place where i can't move on, unless i choose to give up or just suck it up. if love is about compromise, then mine is not love.
