The telephone line
Let me whine and grumble here, cos I had need to 发泄. It’s better I发泄 here than发泄 at my friends. That’s why at times I prefer to shut out friends than lashing out “my happenings” when I see them..
Settled one matter, though my friends were saying I shouldn’t have done that. One was saying whether I pay or don’t pay their debts, it’s still a lose-lose situation for me as sooner or later, everything will still be pushed to me.
Another friend called me , just minutes after I had gotten the queue number to settle the payment at Singtel Hello shop, was about to advised me not to pay as I had already given them the money. But too late lor.
I guessed I am still blessed by heaven, considering if not for the $490 in 4D winnings, my lose will be greater. Though some will say if this had not happened, I can have $490 to enjoy. (Yah, wanted to go Taiwan but then seems like no friends keen on going this June liao).
What happened on Sunday morning before I made the trip down to Singtel really made me feels that I was picked from some rubbish dump by my parents when I was young. They are not appreciative, if not at least guilty at all. When I asked for my Dad IC, since he is busy (and to save him ‘face’) to go down, he simply asked what is it for and signed the letter without a word. Ok perhaps he think it’s not his fault too as it was my mum who kept the money. And my mum, that money-faced woman who do not even feel ashamed at all for “swallowing” all the money entrusted to her, sill scolded me “ she never think how much money spent raising her ”
Hey if she wants to be so calculative, I can simply argue with her that this is another matter, I have given her the extra money to settle bills for months and months, yet dunno where all these money goes too. If she wanna talk about how much she spent raising me, I can argue that how heartless she is, leaving me to support myself since I choose to enroll in Poly at 17 yrs old, and had been giving her allowance from my 1st part time job at 15 yrs old. While my sis, till now at 21 yrs old, despite having lots of part time jobs, never even give her any allowance.
Back to the topic. When I made a phone call to Singtel customer service two days before I went down, the customer service officer actually thought my dad “ was deceased” upon hearing the situation that I wanna transfer line and his bills unpaid. Ha. Yah, come to think of it, no proper family would have owed so much in residential phone line for months.
Went down to Hello shop, got a queue number and was told that I had to wait for about an hour and they’ll give me a call when it’s abt my turn while I hang around at the nearby shops. Sianzz.
And you know what happened, even though I have the all the documents ready – authorization letter and both parties’ ICs, the CSO (customer service officer) told me that she cannot do the line transfer cos my dad have to clear all his bills under his name first, which mean that includes his mobile phone bills. (I really dunno what’s happening to him ). I must have look quite desperate, by mentioning I only realized abt the outstanding payments after the line was cut off and I am helping to clear his residential bills but totally unaware of his mobile bills. In the end, she told me she’d process the transfer of ownership of phone line but Singtel may call me (instead of my dad) to chase the mobile phone bill payments. So off I went, to make payments at the AXN machine, and would be receiving a bill for the transfer and phone lock service soon.
Was wondering should I buy a phone as now I have my own line. But then, I hardly receive any calls from my home number. Shall monitor the situation first.
Honestly, I am feeling 无奈 and "显". Hopefully this case is closed. but still feeling 彷徨 as I really dunno what my future study plans are. Was full of hope to try out my last stake at this year Uni application, only o find my hop dashed as i had missed the closing date of application. Mum came to know abt it when i was talking when my uncle asked me yesterday eveing.Darn that woman, she didn't even care. I guessed she might be feeling glad that i didn't have a chance at all.
