EVILed

Still no sign of the loan coming in yet. It’s stressful day after day knowing that the ATM cannot dispense anymore money because your bank account does not have enough sum for the greenish notes. There must be something going on with the government body that is responsible dispensing study loans for tertiary students. Either they are efficient but due to slow payback from debtors they are not able to dispense us - the needy students- the cash OR they are ‘government servant ma..’

So I decided, maybe I need to personally ’speak’ to one of them to find out what is going on with the payment for this semester before receiving calls from the school finance department like I’m some runaway debtor.

Me : Hello, boleh tak I enquire pasal loan aku ni. Pasal lain member aku dah dapat loan diorang tapi I punya masih takde jumpa ekornya lagi..

XX : Oh, boleh. Siapa nama encik dan nombor ID encik?

Me : Nama I xxx xxx xxx. ID xxxxxxxxxx. Dari UxxR.

XX:  Sebentar ye, I check rekod encik kat komputer I.

(meanwhile im put to some melody box for like a few minutes. long enough for me to make a coffee and finish it before the other end start to speak to me in human language again. Their system must be real prehistoric, need such a long time to call up a record. I’m not really a big fan of antique so Im not impressed.)

YY: Hello, XXXXX Bahagian PInjaman; Selamat petang.

Me: Ya, hello. Jadi, macam mana dengan enquiry aku tadi?

YY: En Kwai Rie? Maaf, siapa nama encik?

Me: Nama I XXX XXX XXX. Saya nak tanya pasal loan aku ni. Dah lama I tunggu tapi habuk pun takde. Boleh saya tahu apa yang telah jadi dengan pembayaran untuk sesi ini? Biler nak bank-in ni?

YY: Okay, biar saya check rekod kat computer saya dulu. Encik sila tunggu sebentar ye

*Music box again.. this time longer, 8 minutes and 59 second.

ZZ: Hello selamat petang. Boleh saya bantu?

Me: KNN.. ya ya.. lu boleh bantu. Lu bantu I bakar sama lu punya ofis. Berapa kali lu mau saya repit I punya nama ha? u ingat wa punya fon line manyak mulah ar? hali hali call u hali hali tukar olang. hali hali lepas call lu olang i jadi manyak tulan punya. wa saja mau tau bila wa punya money bole masuk bank akaun aku pun tak bole ar? bo ka si la lu olang..

*Hang Upped..

At the end of the day, accomplishment is still zero. No sign of the money, im still single and no honey, life a little too boring so I end up writing,  something i will be doing while I am dreaming. I guess i have to go to sleep now before i write something i’ll do in dreams.. hmm.. probably i’ll ‘call’ them again tonight..

Basically almost every batch in the school have received their payment last week. You can tell by looking at the way school’s ATM being bombarded by students, all waiting for their turn to cash out some for after school entertainment.

Karaoke session, uber expensive dinner and guilt free shopping spree; heck I’m somewhere in the house looking for stuff to eat. It’s miserable when there is no cash left in the wallet, can’t pay for food, can’t pay for nothing. Except for groceries done at Giant or Tesco.

PTPTN loan - if they still don’t come in by this weekend I’ll be on my way to the hospital to be taken care of. At least foods are free there right? And the shelter, plus the nurses ( although they aren’t those Japanese nurses I always fantasised ) they can be helpful. Please don’t murder me PTPTN.
