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!!

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!

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?

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

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..

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?

There were a lot of guests that night but luckily her house is big enough to accommodate all these guests. Oh ya, the food served are very delicious too!

Don’t you think online auction is fun?

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?
