How High

Was it all worth it
And how did I earn it

So we receives our usual mobile phone bill, and thinking it's gonna be somewhere along the lines of the package plan, we opened up the pdf file only to be shocked to see a total over twice of what was expected.

Mind you, all our calls are personal calls with the occasional work-related calls. This means our phone bill never hits over RM35 usually (we gets despairing texts from Maxis telling us that our total usage for this month is RM20something, call/text more to maximize usage before so-and-so date). The only times we actually hit past the RM75 mark is when we visit Sporeland (or the first time we started surfing online via EDGE on our Nok7710).

Now last December our bill came up to over RM250. That also was another shock until we took a closer look at our bill details and our payments - we somehow missed paying for November's bill it seems, and there was also ethancya's and Renzze's Sporeland wedding to consider, so a bill of that amount was acceptable.

So after the initial glance of a bill of RM170 and the cussing that followed, we suspected that the bill should be due to yet another trip to Sporeland.

And it was. For our Sporeland Christmas trip. Which was a two days, one night trip. 2D1N enough to push our bill up to 2.5x more.

Looking through the bill doesn't make it look any cheaper.

Incoming calls when overseas are RM2 per minute. About RM1 per minute for outgoing calls. RM1 per text message. And these are all quick calls to get cabs, find out where the sis is, check where people are, etc. Wow. How it all adds up - we never expect the bill to be this high. Still. It was due to necessities and comfort, so we shan't say more.

And speaking of how high, our head is in the clouds and we've a goofy grin plastered on our face as the Chief nicely surprised us at work bringing ais kacang. How high are we? We probably need to drive home very slow to avoid any accidents later. :)
