When the cash deposit machine don’t accept your cash…

I went to the bank this morning to help FL pay his credit card. One of the cash deposit machine is out of service, therefore there’s only one left. There was already a lady queuing to use the cash deposit machine and I’m the second. I thought it would be pretty fast, who knows…

At first I did not notice what’s wrong until I kept hearing the counting cash sound coming from the cash deposit machine. You know when the machine don’t accept your cash, the sound of counting the money is louder (that is what I observe lar..), then the cover will opened up and request you to remove your money and you can add money later if you want to.

So normally ppl will try once or twice if their money is not accepted by the machine. But this guy, he kept trying and trying and trying and trying for like 10 minutes. Very obvious the machine is not going to accept your RM 50 and no matter how long you tried, you still won’t be able to bank in that RM 50.

So when this happened, you can either, turned to the person behind you to see if ppl got extra RM 50 to change with you or not, or just simply give up and let other ppl use that machine. But this guy, he did nothing, he just kept trying and trying his Rm 50, hoping the machine would finally accept his RM 50.

I was about to ask him whether he want to change the RM 50 or not when the wife (all the while standing behind) walked to him and gave him another RM 50. Walaoeh, she should have done that earlier wat.. by the time the guy left, there were already 3 more ppl queuing behind me!!

So please remember, always turned around to see if there’s anyone queuing behind you when you decide to keep trying to do something impossible!!

Personalized soccer balls

My sister is throwing a birthday party for my nephew in next weekend and I still haven’t decided what to get for my nephew. Luckily my sister gave me hints and told me that my nephew is now very into soccer, therefore if I can get anything related to soccer, he would be thrilled.

Great, I know what I will get him now. I will get him a few personalized soccer balls and I’m sure he will love the birthday present!

I miss travelling!!

I received a newsletter from a travel forum this morning titled “Your friends think you need a holiday”. Well, I myself also think that I need a holiday lar.. hehe.. Then when I read the newsletter, another title caught my attention, “No idea where to go?” hahaha, for sure I know where I want to go, there are so many places that I wish to go. My main concern is MONEY lar.. hehe..

Anyway, for the past few yrs, I tried to go for a trip at least twice a year, just to relax myself. I found it quite good, I felt happier, less stressful when I got back from my holiday. Of cos, due to financial issue, those places I chose were normally those nearby ones, don’t need to spend so much one. However, this year, due to certain reasons, I did not go anywhere, I didn’t even take much leave. As until now, I feel really tired and feel that I really need a break.

Travel this year is definitely not possible for me, perhaps a short trip beginning of next year? hmmm….

What about you? Have you been to any places this year?

Plan to get a netbook?

When my brother asked me which brand of netbook should he buy, immediately I told him to get an Acer Aspire. I’ve owned two Acer notebook and I have not had any problem with it. In fact, I felt it’s stylish, value of money and most importantly not much problem after the warranty period is over.

My brother said he will check out Acer’s website and see which specification is best suits him.

BEWARE!! Bank Rakyat Credit Card SCAM!!

I just got back from lunch when I received this phone call. This guy (forgot what his name d) calling from Bank Rakyat, speaking Mandarin, looking for me by using my full name. I felt a bit suspicious d, cos Bank Rakyat not malay bank? Why speak mandarin one? Anyway, just listen to what he wants to tell me lar..

So he asked me did I call to Bank Rakyat to increase my master gold card credit limit. Then I said NO, cos I don’t even have Bank Rakyat’s credit card. Then he gave me my FULL NAME and IC No., asked me to confirm whether these information is correct or not. He got my name and IC correct, then he further gave me the billing address, which is in Sibu. Then I said address is incorrect. So he said he suspected fraud and asked me to hold on while he blocked my card (can hear typing sound some more, and background got a lot of malay talking.. hehehe….)

He told me my credit limit is RM 10K, and now already owed RM 9300, which I swiped it in casino in Sentosa, Singapore in June. So I kept saying No and No and finally he said it’s better for me to lodge a report to Bank Negara to play safe. And these are the information he gave me, asked me to write it down so that I can use it to report to Bank Negara.

Received call from this number : 03-21698888 (forgot the caller’s name)
Credit Card : Bank Rakyat Master Gold Card (credit limit : RM 10K)
Credit Card No : 5892 6720 9108 3033
Card Applied : 12 April 2010
Card Issued : 04 May 2010
Billing Address : 4A Lorong Salian, 18B 96000 Sibu Sarawak.
Bank Negara Phone no given by them : 03-27826813

Before he put down the phone, again he emphasized, asked me to lodge a report to Bank Negara. So I said ok and ended our conversation. Although I did suspect something is wrong, but still I think it’s better for me to really call to Bank Negara to double confirm. Of cos, I will not use the no given by them! I googled the no from the Internet and found Bank Negara’s no, which of cos is a totally different no lar. Then before I called, I googled the billing address too, and guess what? I found a blog post by googling the billing address!! Apparently this blog owner, Big Cow also received the phone call from them and decided to post in on the blog to share with ppl. Good job!! Here’s the link to the blog post, Bank Rakyat Credit Card Scam.

So after reading the blog post, I knew that I don’t even need to call to the real Bank Negara to confirm d lar… These ppl also very lazy lar, want to con ppl, used a different set of information lar.. billing address, bank, credit limit, all used back the same one, simply google also can find lar.. right?

So if you ever received such phone call, do not panicked. Just remember not to give out any of your information, and write down whatever they provided to you. Do not call back by using the phone no given by them, with the Internet, you can easily find any phone no you want, so google yourself!!

BEWARE!! con ppl are everywhere!! hehe..

No Such Luck!!

Yes, we’re back to my favorite topic again, $$$$!!!! hehe.. Well, why I love to talk about $$, hmm, cos I love money? Who doesn’t right? If you said you don’t like $$, then faster give it to me lar.. hehe..

Ok, enough on the nonsense.. back to the topic.. Recently a friend told me he just got project bonus, he said it’s not a lot lar.. few k like that lar.. I was like.. wah, few K also not a lot? u want 100K meh? Anyway, he was really busy with the project for the past few months, but when he got the project bonus, he found his work is being appreciated, and all the complaints are gone.

I guess just like us gua, when we were rushing a project, we might complaint this and that lar, not enough time lar, always OT lar, but if company gives project bonus like what my friend’s comp did, I’m sure there will be no complaints and everyone is happy to work overtime or rushed the project with a smile.. Don’t you think so?

Really ‘tong yan hmm tong meng’ lar.. (同人不同命) ~sigh.. what can i say?

Whenever we needed any information on forex, we will go seek advice from David. He seems to know the latest or updated forex. I decided to ask him where he got all these information from, he told me he always interested in investing in forex and he has this habit to refer to the Forex charts every day. That is why he knows very clearly how the forex market is every day.

Auction is fun!

I have always been interested in online auction. I found the process of bidding and wondering whether you might be able to get the product with the price you bid is exciting. You won’t be able to know whether or not you get the product until the auction ends, you might be the highest bidder at the very last few minutes but you never know, someone might bid with a higher price at the very last minute.

Don’t you think online auction is fun?

Shampoo caused cancer…

FL bought a new shampoo at Jusco 2 months ago and after using it, he found it quite good. When he almost finished the first bottle, he decided to get another bottle, a bigger one. Just before he starts using the second bottle, the news came out and mentioned that that shampoo contained dioxane (二恶烷) which can caused cancer.

Besides the brand FL’s using, the website also posted some other popular brands (which we can easily find at all major supermarkets) contained dioxane too. Of cos, all these news were in the China/HK websites, I wonder our country started to look into it already or not? Or just as usual, tell us that that product in other countries got problem, but the same product in our country got no problem?

Anyway, back to the topic. What I’m trying to say here is that, why every time, after a product launched in the market for SO MANY years then only they realized it’s harmful to us? Can you imagine, it might be 10 yrs, or 20 or 30 yrs we’ve already used that product, then suddenly u tell us it’s not good for our health, what will happened to us? I guess that’s why so many ppl diagnosed with cancer nowadays, the food we eating, the product we using, all caused cancer..

Since now they said most shampoo in the market also contained dioxane, maybe we should start using soap powder to wash our hair? or better still don’t wash hair at all?

With great money, comes great responsibility

Recently chat with a few friends and seems that most of them (including me also lar..) hope they can have a job like this…

• High pay but less responsibilities
• Can go back on time, 9am – 6pm
• Good bonus and increment, 2 months and above for bonus, 10% and above for increment
• Allowance (transportation even though no need to travel, meal allowance)

Ya ya, I know. We all are a bunch of ppl dreaming in day time. Where got such job which gives you high pay but not much responsibilities? Spiderman, the movie also got this saying lar, “With great power, comes great responsibility”. Sames goes with “With great money, comes great responsibility” hehe…

As for the second option, yes, some job does allow their staff to go back on time, mostly foreign companies lar. I remembered a friend once told me, his gwai lo boss actually chased him away at 6pm sharp. How nice lar, but I nv have the chance to have bosses like this before.. too bad…

As for the option 3 & 4, some of you might have this already lar.. Few times bonuses a year, and increment cin cin cai cai also RM 1K or so.. how nice.. Me? got bonus already can curi curi laugh (偷偷的笑) and give you 10% increment you already can kill chicken and thank god d la.. (劏雞還神) allowance? slowly wait lar… wuahahahhahahaa…

Sometimes I tell myself, we as an employee, need to be satisfied, cannot ask for too much, but then when I see ppl around me getting such great benefits and salary, I will tell myself again, maybe it’s time for a change? I also deserve such good benefits also mar.. hehe..

I’m “jeng shan fan liet”? (精神分裂) hehe.. maybe I am… :p

Compare before buy

No matter what we plan to buy, may it be an electricity product, or a bag, or even a car, most of us will compare prices first before we buy something. Same goes for insurance. Previously you might need to call one by one to those insurance companies to ask for quotation, but now not anymore. You can easily get the insurance rates online.

Therefore, do compare life insurance rates before you buy.

Health insurance as a gift!

David’s brother is going to college soon. David wants to get his brother a present but didn’t know what to get him. When he asked me about it, I asked him to consider getting him a short term health insurance NC.

His brother is going to stay at hostel, all the outside food and the late night sleep might caused some health issues. Therefore getting him a health insurance before hand is a perfect gift for him.

The Importantce of Prenatal Vitamins

If you are pregnant, it is important to be extra cautious on your diet to make sure that the baby is getting enough nutritious food. Therefore, prenatal vitamins are pretty important too.

There are 4 qualities of a good prenatal vitamin and they are absorbability such as vegetarian capsules, quality, key nutrients (DHA, Folate, Calcium, Iron) and high quality nutrients (CoQ10, Choline, Inositol, Probiotics). Therefore, if you are going to get prenatal vitamins, make sure the vitamin you get covers all of the above.

It’s so nice to see you!

I met Sally a couple days ago at the mall, I haven’t seen her since she had migrated to Australia during secondary school. She already got married and I was so surprised that she has a 15 years old daughter!

She told me she came back visiting and also told me that this is her step daughter. She brought her to the mall to see if she can get adult acne treatments for her daughter.

Too bad I got another appointment and didn’t manage to catch up with her. We exchanged phone numbers and she promised to call me to meet up again before she goes back to Australia.

Worry about it later!

When Kelly found out she got pregnant, the first thing she started to research on the Internet was not about the baby or the pregnancy. The thing that she researched was the best weight loss pills available in the market.

I told her she should worry about losing weight after the delivery, for now, she should probably concentrate on the pregnancy and the baby. Don’t you think so?

Kurang Manis…

Malaysian consumed a lot of sugar/sweet stuff, we are among one of those countries that have lot’s of diabetic patients. Therefore, due to health issues, a lot of people tend/try to consume less sweet stuff whenever they can. That’s when we have this “kurang manis” word added behind our drinks whenever we make our orders especially at mamak or malay stalls.

“Kurang Manis” basically means less sweet. If you order a cup of nescafe/teh tarik, “kurang manis” means add less condensed milk, or when you order a glass of “limau ais”, kurang manis means less sugar. But one thing I found out whenever I order “kurang manis” drinks is, besides adding less condensed milk/sugar, they will reduce everything else too.

Let’s say you order nescafe kurang manis, when your drink is served, you’ll noticed, besides less condensed milk, they actually used less nescafe powder to make the drink. In other words, your nescafe becomes tasteless, no nescafe taste, no sweet taste.. Same goes with ordering limau ais, no limau taste, no sweet taste…

hmm…how to make them understand kurang manis is just to reduce the sugar/milk and not other stuff? Should we start order our drinks with.. nescafe kurang manis banyak nescafe? or limau ais kurang manis banyak limau?

Changing Field….

If your job is to get sales but you are having a hard time finding business for the company even though you tried really hard, do you think you are suitable in this field? Or if your job requires you to communicate with people but you are not really a very good talker, or the minute you open your mouth you already ‘tak zhui’ ppl, then shouldn’t you think twice whether to change field or not?

I do understand that we cannot give up things easily, we have to give ourselves some time to “try” it out, or to learn to cope, but for how long? 1 year? 2 years? If you are not able to do what you’re currently doing after so many years, then maybe it’s really time for a change.

Some people said, change is no good. I do not agree with that. I remembered one of my ex colleague, she was a designer and she didn’t really perform well. After a year she quit and changed to do sales. Guess what, she did really well in sales!! The last time I heard, she was one of the top sales personnel in her company!! Therefore, if you did not do well in this field doesn’t mean you can’t do well in others!

Why am I starting talking about all this? Well, I’ve seen people who didn’t do well in their field BUT they think they are doing pretty good. I don’t know what makes them think that… The worst is, when they can’t handle their job well, they started to point fingers to others, blaming other ppl… Arggg.. I just hate these ppl…

All under one roof

Due to the hectic life style we have, supplements have become a must for us. We don’t eat on time and sometimes we just have junk food as our meal. Without the help of supplements, our body will be very weak and prone to sickness. If you do not have time to go to the drug store to get supplements, you should probably check out this site, supplementing. They have all kinds of health supplements under one roof. Do check it out!

First thing that came into your mind

Let’s say you haven’t seen your friend for quite a well and one day you accidentally bumped into her. She looked totally different, stunning, beautiful, full of confident and fit! What will you be thinking at the first place? I bet the first thing that came into your mind would be diet supplements, right?

I guess most of us will have that thought as taking diet supplements can really lose weight fast. Don’t you think so?
