A weirdest thing happened that made me question my sanity.
Ok friends, I really don't appreciate you guys going but you are crazy already whaaat right now.
Here's the thing.
I owe the bf some cash. Some hugeass amount of cash. But it is only because I knew I could pay him back once the salary flows in, which was in 3 days' time.
Ok so the cash came.
Date: 12th May.
And I dilly-dallyed my time
(which is a common thing debtors do, if you realise,
especially if the loaners are your partners. kwang kwang.).
18th May .
The boyfriend told me he needed the money for an investment
(which I later found out was Guitar Heroes rock band set).
This is when the funniest thing happened.
I distinctively remembered:
1) logging almost urgently into I/-/Ba/n/k/in/g to transfer the money immediately.
Investment sounded important, gullible me.
2) checking my account balance to see if I had become a bankrupt in the span of 6 days.
3) finding, with relief, that I haven't and had sufficient amount to pay him back
and also have enough balance to make me consider buying that cute shoes I saw the other time.
4) Transferring the money, seeing the balance and thinking:
eeeh I might as well pay my 2 month old hp bill. And I did.
5) Checking the transaction history for the day and seeing 2 transactions being made.
6) Having a weird nagging feeling to take down ref no.
but I ignored because the pen and paper were 23 kilometres away.
7) Sms-ing the bf telling him I already transferred the money.
3 days passed by and I was a happy debt-free person living a happy debt-free life.
Until 21st May:
The bf called to say the money had not been transferred.
I wasn't surprised at first, thinking, maybe the system is slow, as sometimes technology can be, and the money would come in maybe the next day. We decided to give another day for the money to come in because the D/B/S website was under some time-out thing and I could not check my transaction history.
Today, 22 May:
Bf called again to tell me that there was no transaction even after he had updated his passbook.So I logged on again into my I/-/ba/n/k/in/g account to check my transaction history, and lo! There was no amount recorded for the 18th except the amount paid for the hp bill.
I called the d/b/s hotline thinking there was some mistake, that I/-/ba/n/k/in/g cocked up like h/o/tm/a/il, only to be told that I did not have the sufficient amount on the 18th to even make the transfer to my bf!
I could not believe it! I know I am an imaginative person,
but I am not delusional as to make up the whole transaction thing what!
And for what purpose you tell me!
So convinced that there had to be a mistake somewhere, I re-checked my account myself by calculating the amount spent in the duration of 12th - 18th May.
Guess what.
IT TALLIED!
I could account for whatever I spent, and the amount spent.
And by the 18th, I really did not have the amount to pay bf back his money!
But but but the strangest thing is,
if this is really true, that I did not have the money, why then was I soooo convinced that I had?
How did I recall so vividly that I had made 2 transactions that day??
How did I remember the thoughts that ran through my head that fateful 18th May??
Why did I messaged the bf that I already transferred on the day??
And honestly, I would have a nagging conscience at the back of my head if I owe someone something.
But after the "transaction day", NOTHING LEH.

I truly am flabbergasted and I'm feeling very much like Jodie Foster in that movie Flightplan.
But really, is it really me?? Am I highly delusional???!
What's happening to me??!
