Paying bills has been a monthly
ritual. As soon as all the bills arrived I would go and pay it manually
either at the Telecom shop or the Post office. To date I have not learned to pay bills Online. The reason I
decided not to pay my bills Online and do it manually is that I would have to go out,
drive and walk, window shop and meet people rather than just staying at
home. At this age that is the best thing to do and it does keep me healthy too. In the past I would pay all the
bills at the Telecom Point at Ampang Point but with effect from January this
year the Telecom Point no longer accept Water and Astro bills but the Post
Office accept all the bills. So from now henceforth I would pay all my bills at
the Post Office. Just before 3pm this Tuesday afternoon I went to the Ampang
Point Post Office to pay the bills. First I went to the basement to park my car
and found it full with people waiting to find a vacant lot. I just decide to
just move on and without much ado found one vacant space that no one seem to
want to take. In fact there was a car waiting for another car to move out and
does not care for the vacant lot nearby. I drive on and park my car at that
vacant lot then went up the mall and walk straight to the Post Office on
the first floor. Entering the Post Office I saw a large crowd but since I had
the time I went to take a number. The number slip shows that I had to wait for
at least half an hour before my number is called. I thought it all right since
I had all the times in the world to wait and went to look for a seat to wait.
But before I could do that a stranger hand me a number slip that show an
earlier number as the one I got. I took it and thank him; I then give my number
slip to another stranger and then wait. Just as I was about to take a seat my
number was call. I went to the counter and paid all the bills. It looks like
this is indeed my day. Everything went so smooth, from getting the parking
space with ease and been offered an earlier number by a total stranger to pay
the bills. Had it not been for all the happening during that last few minutes
it would have taken me hours before getting all the bills paid. Instead all
[parking and paying the bills] was done in record time of less than 15 minutes;
a wonderful happening indeed.
Have a nice day.
