SMS 1
An old friend sent me an sms when I was in Bangkok. I replied him, and he replied back to me, on and on. After 5 messages, I got annoyed and stopped replying him. It happened for few times.
I told him that sending international sms through AIS is too expensive for me (I was a poor student, supported by the Ford Foundation—now I am not rich either, even worse not supported by the Ford Foundation). Moreover, after living in Thailand for a while, I preferred to call instead of sending sms…oh yes, Thais love talking on their mobile. Well, it was only around 12 baht/minute to call Indonesian number, some providers are even cheaper, and 10 baht/sms.
Back to my friend, even though I had told him the reason why I didn’t “communicate” with him through sms, he kept asking me. He asked if he had disturbed me, or whether I didn’t want to communicate with him anymore. He even asked if he should send me some fund for that. I simply replied him, firstly, I didn’t want your money. Secondly, I didn’t know what I should tell him through sms (ooops). Thirdly, I didn’t want to spend my money for this (in my humble opinion) unimportant thing. He didn’t say a word after that. (I rang him and talked to him on the phone, since it was cheaper and more convenient for me)
A couple of week before, I went back to Indonesia. I gave him my Indonesian number. He did it again. He sent me million (oh ok…exaggerating) messages, and I only replied some of them. He asked me why (I couldn’t say that sms is more expensive now), so I told him that I didn’t know what to say on sms.
Hi how are you?
Fine, thx. ….(Haaaa.what would you expect me to say after this? And you?)
Hi. Where are you?
Home with mama….(see…I even added another unneeded information)
I will go to Temanggung, do you know places to go there?
Find tahu bacem (google it dude) at Parakan bus terminal, bakso (meatball) at alun-alun, pecel at Pikatan, tahu guling at Muntilan. Good luck. (see my closing line)
Oh you know a lot about this town
My mama is from there, and I was in mental asylum near by that place. Take care (see another closing line)
I am lonely here…..(haaa…what’s next?)
You don’t want me sending you sms, do you?
It’s ok. You can send me, but maybe I won’t reply all.
Why?
……………………………(Why should I?)
