my brain dump

If you've missed Part I - click here.

So, I'm officially out of Maxis radar since I've paid all my dues, kan?

WRONG.

Even after I've paid the remaining bills via their not-so-useful Maxis Pay, apparently when Celcom tried to register my line under their service, Maxis was still bullshitting them on the grounds that "the customer paid after Celcom's last attempt" - which means that by the time Maxis received the request by Celcom, even though I HAVE paid the dues, Celcom had to resend the request again because the time stamp/timeline does not jive, and HELL MAXIS IS NOT GONNA HELP MAKE IT ANY FASTER, YO.

So, basically the sequence was :

Celcom sent request
I finally managed to pay via Maxis Pay (which took ages because of their sucky logging in and out service remember?)
Maxis received request, but not going to accept it because I SHOULD HAVE PAID BEFORE CELCOM TURNED IN THEIR REQUEST.

Okay..so partially I understood this timeline issue (eventhough they could have just entertained the request because I've made several reports on this to their hotline) so I made a call to Celcom to try again.

And then, suddenly my relative who works at Maxis saw my updates on IG and texted me - she offered to help me expedite the process because they have this privilege for family members.

5 minutes after her help, I received an SMS from Maxis saying they are processing the teleporting request.

And the day after that, I received a call from Maxis, offering me a lower package - instead of RM128, they offered a RM78 package with all benefits/coverage remains the same as RM128.

That pisses me off. Thinking of all those time I've been paying them extra what, RM50 bucks? And if I didn't initiate the teleport, I would still be paying RM128 when they would offer RM78 to someone in the same package as me?

No thanks.

So...sayonara Maxis, hello RM80 Celcom!

Okay..so I’m in the mood to rant.

The past few days had been disastrous for me. First, my iPhone 7 decided to crack its screen (well, partly, it was my fault, I’d admit) so I had to spend some money getting it fixed – only to have recurring problems of touch sensitivity at certain areas of the screen.

If you’ve never had this touch sensitivity problem, you’ve never really been annoyed in your life. You’d be only mildly annoyed. Because this problem, I swear to God, is the most annoying thing ever.

I couldn’t type properly, I couldn’t go to apps and messages as smooth as I want, I couldn’t do anything with my phone without cursing – so I looked for services to repair the screen. Guess what? It costs almost 1000 bucks including insurance and warranty and everything, but but, the warranty would only cover screen crack – and NOT touch sensitivity.

So I’d have to spend my money replacing the screen, and if I do have this problem again, I’d have to fork out another 1000 bucks to replace it. And again, and again – if the problem persists.

How about no T.T

So Shahrul was all “why don’t you get a new phone?”

So I was all “yeah OK” (been waiting for this chance)

And..finally gotten myself a new phone after a while, and finally a chance for a better line coverage.

So we celebrated Rayyan’s 3rd birthday last few days.

To say how bittersweet it was for us is such an understatement. But anyhow, however sad we are that noting 3 years ago on the same day we were holding the tiny version of him for the first time, getting to know this little stranger the best way we knew possible although we knew peanuts, learning every inch and tiny bit of him, loving the whole package of perfection and imperfection of this little creature God has given us – deep down we just know we HAD to get it over with. I mean, he’s not just getting 3 years old; he’ll be getting 4, 5, 6, 12, 20 years old..and by then, we would be holding his feet in chains locked up in our house, safe from outside harm and bad teenagers influence.

See how I foresee him at 20 years old when he’s just 3?

It’s called motherhood.

So I decided to rise above this and grow up and be the mature mother I shall be, and just accept that my baby IS NOT LITTLE ANYMORE.

Rayyan turned 3 years old! *wipes snot* and as usual, getting him the perfect cake was my ultimate motherhood goal for several weeks.

Now I’ve come to realize that Rayyan has grown extremely fast – he's far passed his phase of Didi & Friends or Upin Ipin or ABC songs; his current favourite movies now include Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Storks, Finding Dory, Finding Nemo, Stork, etc. He can watch Toy Story and suddenly burst out laughing without me knowing why -_- As a child, I didn’t even watch these movies – even during my teenager-hood, so I’m quite surprised that he’s developed this interest quite early.

So, naturally, this was I get for his birthday cake theme.

A TOY STORY CAKE!
