I think I really need to blog more regularly. I have a really really poor memory, e.g. I can from the living room to my bedroom to take something, but I’ll forget what I wanted to get once I reach my bedroom. Yesterday, I saw that a bill of $391.95 was charged to my credit card and I couldn’t recall what on earth it was for. After going through the receipts for things we bought for the flat, I concluded it wasn’t an item purchased for the flat. As I couldn’t remember what it was, I called Citibank to say that I was going to dispute the amount. Although I didn’t think my card was misused, ‘cos it would be quite stupid for someone to “steal†my card and spend only $391.95, I couldn’t pay for something I don’t recall buying either.
Citibank was very helpful and proceeded to block my card and put through my “disputeâ€. Unfortunately (or I should say fortunately?), 5 min after that was done, Azure figured out that I prob. spent that amount on buying mooncakes! And she was right! Hehe… I totally forgot I coordinated the purchase of Maxim mooncakes for my colleagues and thus I paid quite a big sum for the mooncakes. Sigh.
I immediately called Citibank to inform them that I’m not disputing the amount anymore. The officer I spoke to is on the other line unfortunately, so I’m waiting for her to call me back.
Sigh. I think I shall blog as often as I can… just a short note to jot EVERYTHING down. Argh.
see, the iphone will help in this instance as well… Expense/budget app!!!
