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!!

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…

Second type of driver, those who steps on their brakes without any reason. I don’t know if you had encountered drivers like this or not. These ppl tends to step on the brakes, they will step on the brakes once or twice in a few minutes regardless there are cars in front or not. If you are driving behind these cars, you will get very frustrated as they seems to step on the brake every few minutes. There’s no cars in front, no red lights, no nothing, why they keep stepping their brakes? My guess is? It’s a habit!!! This is so so so so frustrating, don’t you think so?

What about you? What kind of drivers you hate the most?

What I hate most is this!! I was busy working this morning and then my phone rang. I answered the phone, but I heard no sound at the other end. I said Hello a few times and still the person did not want to say a word. I decided to end the call as I don’t have the time to continue holding the phone without knowing who’s the caller.

The minute after I ended the call, my phone rang again and it’s from the same number. Again, I said Hello and asked who is on the line and again, I heard nobody speaking. What is wrong with this person? Too much money is it? My phone continued to ring for a few more times and I decided not to answer the call again (I was really really busy and don’t have the time to entertain this kind of caller.). I don’t even know what’s the point this person calling me? Want to make sure he/she didn’t get the wrong number? or what?

Have you encountered any caller like this?

Last Saturday, FL went to change his car cushion. So this lady boss seems very nice, and the price seems reasonable. So when we asked her when can get it done, she said should be ready by Wednesday (which is two days ago) and only need half an hour for the installation, so can go over after work (which is 6pm). She also said that she will give FL a call on Wednesday to confirm what time he will go over for the installation. So happily we paid deposit, which is half of the full payment.

On Wednesday, from morning till afternoon, nobody called. Before finish work (evening d..), FL decided to call before he go over and guess what the lady boss told him? “Oh, cannot lar today, not yet ready, tomorrow lar.. tomorrow sure ok.” So fine… tomorrow….

Then the next day (Thursday, which is yesterday) he received a call from the lady boss in the afternoon. He thought she called to confirm the time of the installation BUT it’s not. She called to tell him that it’s NOT ready yet, and need to postpone to the next day, which is Friday (today)! FINE!!

Guess what? Today she called and said it’s finally ready, but told FL she won’t be able to wait for him to come after 6pm because they’re closing at 7pm. She asked him to come tomorrow morning, and it’s no longer half an hour finish installation, it’ll take less than 3 hours.

Where are all the promises? Ready by Wednesday lar.. Ready by Thursday lar, will wait for you to come install after work lar, this and that lar.. If she tell us the truth in the first place, we will still let her do the cushion what, why need to lie and lie and give all these empty promises? Now I’m not sure she can really get it done before noon tomorrow. She might promised ready by noon but end up let us wait till afternoon. Who knows right?

Arggg.. just feel very geram with these ppl… Now all the plans we had earlier need to change becos of that!!!

Anyway, I went over to collect the new card, so when I asked them, will my existing card terminated automatically? They staff said, no, I can still used it. Apparently, they did not upgrade my card as I thought but they are actually issuing me another card!! I already signed “received” for the new card, so I thought maybe I just cancel off my existing card and keep the new one, since the new card offered a higher limit.

So i told the staff that I wanted to terminate my credit card, and asked they to transfer my existing installments/easy payments to the new card. The staff at the branch said I need to call credit card center to do that, they can’t do anything about it. When I got back to office from the branch, I called and guess what the credit card center ppl said to me? They said I need to do it over at the branch, they can’t do anything about it. Both parties also can’t do anything about it?

Of cos I told him the whole story, told him that the branch ppl said must call credit card center, but credit card center ppl said definitely must do it over the branch. FINE!! So just now during lunch, I went over to the branch again. I told them I wanted to terminate my credit card and asked them to transfer my installments to the new card. And guess what? They told me to call the credit card center again!

I am really pissed this time! I told her, “you asked me to call credit card center, credit card center ask me to go branch, so who is the person that is responsible for this”? She insisted that the credit card center is responsible for this and they cannot do anything about it.

I yet to call the credit card center but IF they tell me I need to go to the branch.. I think I will write a complaint letter to Maybank to complaint both parties!! Seems like no ppl is handling the credit card termination in Maybank? Or is this a new tactic they used to stop ppl from terminating their credit card?

I just finished gift exchange yesterday in the office and guess what? I got a mug again. I got mug continuously for the second or third year. Well, don’t get me wrong, those mugs I got are quite nice, good quality, and cute, but the thing is, I seriously don’t need so many mugs at home. haha… Some friends told me, next year, if got gift exchange again, wrap the mug and give it out lar.. But I think I won’t do that lar, what if the present goes to the person that gave me this mug in the first place? then not so good mar, right or not?

I think we should be more creative in terms of gift, there’s really a lot of “good” gifts out there that is really useful and cheap too. For eg, a colleague of mine bought a bottle of coffee powder as christmas gift, I think it’s good. Another colleague that loves coffee got it, I bet he’s happy with it. And one thing is that, ppl won’t be able to easily guess wat you give, like my present.. before I open it, I already know it’s a cup, then no fun d mar…right?

So I hope for those who is going to have gift exchange later, perhaps, spend a little time to get something more useful, if you want a big gift, perhaps can consider toilet rolls? hahahahahahaha.. just don’t let the person who gets the gift know that it’s from you!

Yesterday I received a letter from public bank saying that my debit card was cancelled. I was about to check on my savings account to see the balance has been transferred or not when I saw ANOTHER letter from public bank. It is the statement of account for my debit card (I thought the card already cancelled? why sent me statement some more?) and I was being charged for annual fees! So funny lar, I received both letters together at the same day, one saying my card was cancelled, another one stated annual fees being charged. And of cos, the balance RM 30+ did not go to my savings account as well lar, they used it to deduct for the annual fees!

~sigh.. hate calling banks.. makes me wait and wait and wait and wait….. and i hate to listen to this.. “All our representatives are currently busy, please hold and we will attend to you shortly……

For eg this morning around my office, there are so many empty parking spaces around, and this car, chose to park at this illegal space blocking the stair case. Don’t they know they are not only blocking ppl from using the stair case, they also create troubles for those cars that parked and proper and legal space. Why? The road is not very wide and they are actually making those car having a hard time getting out from the parking space.

arggg..i just hate these irresponsible car drivers.. I wish them kena “saman” for their irresponsible action. hehe.. ya i know.. i’m bad..
