It's Rubbish!

So it's the end of the month now. Broke beyond numbers. Dismayed beyond words.

It's precisely during the end of the month that things should look up for broke people like many of us; because it's pay cheque day!

I'm bloody dismayed today. Happily but foolishly thinking I could finally get my first hair cut in centuries. But no! Because I haven't got my fucking salary banked in yet!

Jana was like saying we should go for the Sakae sushi buffet. I suggested this coming pay day. Jana realised it was indeed nearing pay day and asked me when it would be on.

And then I realised she stumped me with her question. You see, the company got into the bad habit of banking in the pay LATE. It's not just once or twice, but many times already. I didn't really mind before, but it got more frequent and I got more broke, so now, I bloody mind the tardiness!

Bills to pay, hair to cut, things to buy; but no money. My account balance is so full of zeros you WILL NOT believe your eyes!

Then M1 sends this letter of notification, saying that they are going to increase the data usage cap to 50GB. You see, you get 5GB data bundle free, exceed the 5GB, they charge $4.28/GB in blocks of 1GB.

My previous bill came to be $60! Basic monthly of $38, plus all that I've exceeded, hence amounting to $60. Currently, the data usage cap is at 10GB. The last time, they reminded me that I've reached my 10GB maximum and would face termination of service if I were to exceed the maximum again.

So the increase of data usage cap is apparently 'in response to customer feedback'. It's true that there's nothing much you can do with the 5GB free data bundle that they provide lah, huh. Download a bit here and there easily exceed the usage limit.

Now with 50GB, can you imagine the what mindless and careless downloading can cause?!

A basic monthly subscription fee: S$38.
Additional surcharge per GB beyond free 5GB bundle(up to max. of 50GB): S$4.28.
Maximum monthly bill possible: $38 + ($4.28 x 50) = S$252

The numbers are so big, they're not even funny anymore. Once the contract ends, I'm switching service provider. I cannot be putting myself in such precarious billing situations.

Ironically, I just saw their billboard at the MRT station and thought it was fabulous! Once again, just very simple and classic execution of type. Too bad the service isn't as fabulous as the branding. In fact, M1 broadband is rubbish!

God forbid, but I swear I saw the Bitch and her gang today. All right, I DIDN'T exactly see the Bitch myself, but at least I saw the Back-up Bitch can?! Plus I saw the Boyfie's (OH MY GOD! I SO CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST USED THAT PUKE-INDUCING BITCH-COINED WORD!!!) friend.

I wanted to drop by and say hi, but I was kinda in a rush, so I'll probably save it for next time.

What a day isn't it? It's rubbish!
