“BAM!! THIS IS NOT A MARKET PLACE!!”

There goes the shout from Dr Tio while he was teaching in front. The sound of silence were starting to break when all of the students are losing their concentration after almost 1 and a half hour of non-stop Fluids Dynamics. I was sitting second row from the front when suddenly a vibration coming out from my waist. At 3:31:57 pm, it was my O2 suddenly signalling me that I got 1 unread message.

Dear valued customer, your bill amounting RM31.64will be due within 5 days. If you did not receive your bill, pls contact our careline at 1111 or 0336308888. TQ.

“WTF?! Yatie ni nak kene la!!” speaking in my heart alone. I was pretty much mad. After the class ends at 4 pm, I straight called Celcom Customer Careline.

“Saravanan sini. Boleh saye bantu?”
“I nak inform u pasal bill I. I baru dapat msg dr Celcom kate my 1st bill tak bayar lg.”
“Sekejap yer. Aper no encik?”
“019 XXX 8428”
“Encik Saifudin yer?”
“Ye saye”
“OK encik, kat dlm rekod kami, encik dah bayar semua bill. So encik boleh ignore msg td yer. Encik bayar gune cheque kan? Since encik saifudin gunekan cheque, so bank process lambat sikit. Tu sbb en saifudin dpt msg td”
“I bayar bill I kat dealer celcom, 123 telecommunications. Itu pon dah bayar 4 minggu lepas. I ingt I almost kena CON”

So there goes my complaint to the Celcom. Noted that I’ve mentioned Yatie along with 123 Telecommunications.

“Baiklah Encik Saifudin, sebaik-baik nyer saye cadangkan encik bayar di cawangan Celcom terdekat. Auto-billing pon bleh kalau ade BCB atau Maybank acc. Care tu lebih secure. So encik tak perlu risau soal security. Encik saifudin ade lg aper2 lain pertanyaan?”
“Takde. Rase nyer tu jer. Trime kasih”
“Same2 cik saifudin.”

After I played badminton last night, I check again my bills under my smart sim.

Account no: XXXXXXXX, Last Payment Amount RM32.00, Last Payment Date 25-JUL-06, Current Charges RM 0.00, Total Charges RM 0.36, Due on 30-JUL-2006. Thank You.

I feel very very relieve. The parang dah asah, the plans to find 123 telecommunications now all cancelled. Since the objective is already defined. That Yatie finally did her job. In a late manner of course. But better late than never right?? The next time, I’ll be much more careful in paying bills. Never simply hand in ur money to someone u hardly trust. This time always happen mainly in small companies.

Anyways, I feel very relieve as Allah had answered my prayers. Alhamdulillah. I never msg or called her to say thank you as my ferens advised me not to. I juz hope to see that yatie girl again somewhere in Melaka. I wonder why such a claimed-to-be-so-busy-girl told me to settle the bill on the day i called her, that it took her almost 1 week to settle. My my my Yatie…u’ve been too notty!!

But I still wondering lah, is it my msg to her on the 24th July tht triggers her to pay the bill. The msg goes exactly like this:

Yatie dear, bile u nak bayar bill I ni? ker simply I dah kene con dgn u?

She never reply, but in a way, the day after, she paid the bills….
