Astronomical propotions

Golfman & me had a jaw-dropping moment the other day.. the extent of which almost broke our jaws lol.

With him away most of the time, i am of course the appointed caretaker/caregiver... which means managing the finances as well as seeing to the needs & well-being of not only our household but also that of my MIL's. and thru the years i've come to expect the unexpected.

But his latest celcom bill came as quite a surprise.  after only about 15 days of settling the last payment, he received a reminder that he had already hit the RM 1,000 mark and was fast exceeding his limit!!  now this has never happened before even after years of globetrotting. and i must admit, i did suddenly get all suspicious on my man.. "hey, you having something on the side here that i should know of?" (imagine the hand on hips stance, furrowed brows and piercing stare hehehe). to which he replied with a simple "hisshhh"!!

So we went to talk with the celcom people.. getting billed for over a thousand was a big deal for us. and after a long, round-a-bout session, we eventually found out golfman had accidentally been calling up our daughter's number a couple of times (7 to be exact) and its been going into her voice-mail. which in turn had been recording the rustling & bustling of his movements to the max of  4:44 mins per call, which, for all 7 calls came up to a total of - RM 568.10!! and all that RMs for the recording of 'nothing' (and i could've gotten me a brand new adistar sheesh).

So for you people out there who roam about God's earth trying to make a decent living, please make sure you 1. disable your hp setting for voice mail 2. inform your service provider.

Otherwise be prepared to leave ghost messages and pay for it ;p
