Not on speaking terms..

My son received a 1st reminder from his alma mater (a university in the northern states). He has to pay RM1370 ASAP, else he cant seat for his exams.

Firstly, my son graduated last year.

Secondly, my son is already working.

So, what on earth is this?

Called them up and asked for some clarification.

Me: Anak saya..... dpt surat dr pihak university, mintak bayaran.

Puan: Boleh bagi nombor matrix dia. Saya periksa dulu.

Me: [matrix #]

Puan: Dia nak grad bulan 8 nie ka?

Me: Haa? Dia dah grad tahun lepas dah, tapi dia tak sempat pergi convo. Baru je dapat scroll dia bulan lepas.

Puan: Boleh dak fax kan resit bayaran scroll tu?

Me: Aikk? Kan dah fax kan. Scroll pun dah dapat.

Puan: Tak dak dalam file. Boleh tak puan fax kan sekali lagi. [hehe.. dia dah keluaq accent north dia]

Me: Sat nooo.. kalu makcik jumpa resit tu, makcik fax kan nooo...

Ish.. depa nie ingat kita tak dak keje lain ka. Sib bek [baik] la, makcik nie efficient, sampaikan surat anak2 pun makcik simpan dan failkan.

Fax lah sekali lagi ke Cik Puan Bendahari dan call balik to confirm yang dia terima.

Me: Makcik yang call tadi pagi. Makcik dah fax kan resit tu. Dah terima?

Puan: Ha.. dah2. Kami baru peksa dengan bahagian pendaftaran. Memang dah keliar [clear].

Awat lah buat haghu. Check lah dulu baru hantaq surat "reminder". Dan awat lah bahagian pendaftaran dan bahagian bendahari tak communicate and update each other. Perlis tu bukan besaq mana pun.. kalu jerit kuat2, bule dengaq..

My son said to ignore the reminder. I told my son, I want closure. I dont want to receive a 2nd or third reminder.. not unless it comes with cash.. hehehe
