i was already on my bed tossing and turning getting ready to sleep. but i couldnt make myself fall asleep cos i couldnt stop smiling. so i decided to get up and start blogging. tomorrow will be the final day! :D

i dont know how blessed i am. :)

well, let me start by telling you whats all this is about.

young and naive (or can also be called stupid), i fell for a scam last year. i was asked to buy 2 phone lines that came with handphones, one with Singtel and another with M1. the conman, (my good friend's bf whom i thought could be trusted) promised to terminate my line on the same day i signed up for it and he'll take the two handphones and in return i'll get $200. cut the story short. he went missing, line wasnt terminated, and i didnt even get my 200bucks.

me and a whole lot of people were tricked.

as i was the one who (willingly) signed the contract, Singtel and M1 did not entertain this as a fraud case. so this clever woman has to take responsibility of the two lines. and to terminate, it costs me $450 for M1, and $670 for Singtel. ouch. i know.

so, i've set my mind to numb mode. it feels like throwing thousand over dollars down the drain. I DIDNT EVEN USE THE TWO FREAKIN LINES.

oh well. thankfully, im able to cope this problem myself. from the start i didnt want to blame anyone, not even myself. i take it as im still young and growing. shitty things happen along the way. its a life lesson to learn. no point getting angry at myself i still have to pay!

well what im sooooo smiley about is, how God has helped me through this. i paid the full amount for M1 last month and ironically the whole of last month i didnt feel financially tight whatsoever. its strange. because usually, even without throwing a few hundred bucks, i always feel like my salary is not enough. but thank God, even this month, i have to pay Singtel $200 more than M1, i have GST money to help me cover that. and besides that, i just happily bought for my mom a great gift she would love for her birthday which is today!

i swear it feels strange. whatever it is, im sure the reason is because He is helping me through this. and also, i believe this strongly: "murah rezeki if you give money to your parents" that has been my priority and it seems like its kinda true eh?

Alhamdulillah :D

oh friends. do not let yourself be conned!
