Do u know why i lost my patience?

There were lots of incidents that made me lost my patience recently. I start with the incident while i was in HK.

I changed my maybankard 2 days before i left for HK. it's a Debit Card. Once i received my Debit Card, the personnel in charge just ask me to change my pin number only, without gave me any pamphlet or instructions on how to use the Debit Card. I've deposited half of my expenses for HK into the accounts seems they said it safer and can be used anywhere throughout the world. They also assured me that i can withdraw my money anywhere i want as long as they got the PLUS sign. I'm very confident about the guarantee.

While we were in HK, i tried to withdraw my money through lots of local and international ATMs. But they couldn't read my card. The machine shown the message of please contact the card provider. After few trials, i decided on making call to Maybankard Centre in KL using the provided number for oversea. My brand new Samsung SGH U-700 also challenged my patience.. once i pressed the button for the next menu, the call ended. It's an overseas call. how many times need i to make that call. My husband, knowing that i'm gonna explode anytime on that moment, decided to call the centre using his hp. Fortunately he made it. But definitely the customer service personnel need to speak directly with me. He said that i had to activate my international usage first before i can use it. Sarcastically, i answered, the personnel in charged never tell me that i have to. Do they think i knew how the bank and the card work? Did she think that i'm also working with the bank, fortunately the customer service personnel could handle me. Thanks Mr Harris. He said that he could activate it for me so that i can use it after 10 minutes. After asking more or less about my personal details and accounts, he asked me whether i want to activate it temporarily or permanently. i answered straight away .. without thinking ... permanently... why i have to activate it every time i'm going out of country ... am i crazy? just to spend my money on the phone bills? ok ... it's not the end with my new Maybank Debit Card. Wait ... while i realizing it ... It's a Maybank Debit Card ... and Maybank is a Malaysian Company. But i wonder why the Debit Card itself illustrated with the Cherry picture? Why not Durian? Why not Mangosteen or Rambutan?

Ok back to my precious Maybank Debit Card story. I finally succeed to withdraw my money. After three days in HK city we went to Disneyland HK at Lantau Island. The first attempt to use my Debit Card was a failure.The Cashier needed to try for few times before the transactions succeed. The next transactions ... remain a failures. So i ended up could use the Debit Card 3 times only while i was in HK. Before the withdrawal issue, i tried to use it when i bought a brooch at Jacky Chan's Jewellery Store, but it couldn't be read. I ended up using my Direct Access CCard. But fortunately, when i went to Hard Rock Cafe HK, the transaction succeed. So the total of usage through my worldwide accepted Debit Card were 3 times only.

For continuous great services from Maybank, i deposited some money through a CDM at a petrol station in BB Bangi. it resulted of the machine went out of service as soon as i put my money into the machine without printing my receipt. I called the Maybankcard Centre again for this month, he said that they might take 3-7 working days. i said .. it's my money ... why must u take so long to give my money back! i want it on monday. i need to use that money plus it's not a small amout. He didn't give my case id ... my husband also called the bank centre to get the cse id ... but definitely they won't allow it... he said that he will call me directly to give my case id .. but he didn't until i made a call back to get it. On Monday i called once again ... i said i want that money asap. i asked for the direct contact no for the person in charge. He said he didn't have it, he said that he will follow up for me, i said it's not ur money .. i knew very well how maybank works when it's come to custome's matter. i will follow up my money by myself. He said that he didn't have the contact no, i said i'll call him back at the afternoon. i want my money by today!!.
But i didn't call him since i checked my account, the money is still not there, i was also tired of fighting with them ... the first thing i did when i was in the office the next day, i called the bank centre again. this time the person in charge, MAS said that the bank is still not operated yet, she will call me at 11 to update me. fine, i'll wait i said. 11 Sharp, i received a call from MAS mentioned that the CDM did face some problem, the technician nedd to go to the petrol station CDM to get the report manually, the report should be received by 4. she promised t call me back at 4. Fortunately she did, same as before exactly at 4 pm she called, said that money did stucked there, and will be deposited to my account by tonite but i only can use it by tomorrow at 7am. i thanked her not because of the service but because of her accuraccy. Thanks MAS. But i did dissapointed with MAYBANK

i think i have to work on my anger management

my patience has come almost to the limit. Pardon me if i sound like ... like what? i'm not sure... i tried so many times to edit my HK trip entry .. especially the photos order ... but it seems not working or ended up all my photos disappeared... so i decided to just leave it like that ... so please forgive me if the photos didn't synchronized with my stories after this...

the stories... maybe i'll type it tonite or later .. depends on my mood and this pc... the internet really gonna kill my patience...

Picnic at Pangsun on 23 Nov 2008

I will skip the HK trip entry for a while. until i feel right to continue it... for the time being i just want to write about our picnic at Sg Pangsun, Ulu langat held on Sunday - 23 Nov 2008.

It was participated by whole accounts department staffs and families together with few Productions staffs and families. They were 6 families with 6 bachelors joint the picnic. The picnic was great. The water is so clear and nice. As soon as we reach there my son went straight away into the water. He enjoyed it very much . We grilled some lambs, chickens and fishes. There were lots of foods on that day. Everybody contributed something for the picnic. We reach the picnic area at 9 am. We left at 2pm.

My kids enjoyed the water very much. most of the kids did. i never imagine that there's a picnic area not for from here. and it's great. I forgot to bring my camera.. so i'm waiting for other colleagues if they snapped something on that day.. i'll make sure i won't forget to bring the camera again... it's a lost for me...

we planned to go to Bukit Tinggi on 10 january 2009. But unfortunately only one apartment with 2 bedrooms available. we just grabbed it. it something than nothing. so until the next event ... just wait...

Arrghh

actually i wrote 4 paragraphs of HK Trip 12-16 Nov entry. but it ended up dissappeared.. so i'm not in the mood to rewrite something for that entry... so until i feel like doing it ... just wait

Hong Kong Trip 12-16 Nov 2008

It's been more than a week after we came back from HK. I'm not really in mood to write actually, that's the reason of kept delaying this entry. I have no particular reason of not being in mood. just like too lazy and have no idea to write.

Conversations between us

I still heavy with emotion thinking about this fiction. It's great. i'm not pretty sure about the author. i don't know who is he/she. but what i can say is the story is great. i started to read it at office. and i just couldn't stop reading it until the office hours ended. i continued at home. i finally finished it at 2am. but why must the hero died? but i did expected it from the beginning, but the story was too good for me to stop in the middle so, i continued reading it even though i can assume the ending. the plot and storyline were great. i can felt the characters' emotions.

i just can imagine the whole story, if it is going to be fillmed i will watch it again even though i read about it once. i think i can read it one more time, but i've to prepare to cry. yesterday i just hold my emotion, i cried but still under control. i watched this kdrama once it's quite the same but totally different. The Tree in heaven. the hero also a gangster and ended up to be killed. aah.

do u understand the feeling after u finished watching or reading something. it's ended. i felt empty inside. i felt very quiet around me even though there are lot of peoples around. it will take at least a week before i return to my normal self... until then....

my dream house

ahahhha ... 2-3 years back, i never imagine to visit showroom of a house amounting RM500k. even few weeks back, i did tell my husband let's buy house ranging 200-300K. but last week we've visited one semi-d house area our current house. It got 5 rooms with 3 bathrooms. but last week we didn't know the price. today, we went back to that house, snapping pictures and looking around. Before we left, we found one house with the owner's number. He wanted to sell it at RM550K. my husband called his friend who just bought a new house cost RM6++K. He took RM500K loan. It will cost him RM3500/mth for 30 years. It's accumulated to RM1.2M. Wow!!!! My husband said the area is nice and house worth that price, if we like it so much, he'll take it. Afterwards we supposed to buy new compass for our trip next week, on the way to the shop we found one corner lot they wanted to sell it at RM350K and they said they got another one smaller than the one we saw with the price of RM250K. maybe it's sound cheap but i think even the space must be smaller. Our current apartment got 5 rooms with three bathrooms. we used to live with a lot of rooms, so it will be uncomfortable to live in the small house. so we passed through Jusco before i saw new signboard of new launch house. we called them. it's phase three, the person in charged said that the phase three has not been launched yet, but they still got phase one that is going to be finished by early of next year. the cost is RM548K. They got 6 rooms and 6 bathrooms. we were shocked after hearing it. 6 rooms and 6 bathrooms? 40'x80'. Wow!!! ...the cost is almost the same with the one we just saw. But their show room had close for today. so we can visit tomorrow. but we're around the area, we decided to see the house. the first route to the house was closed. so we try another route and house is awesome!! i'll snap the pictures tomorrow. it's gorgeous. looks exclusive. so RM548K is not questionable. since the door was already closed, i peeked through the windows and sliding door, the hall is long, and they got attached kitchen , i thought that's the only kitchen they have, but i went back to the backyard and found out they also got another kitchen-separated with door, they also got one more room behind and a bathroom. i went back to the front, to find out that they also got another room with attached bathroom. i'll see upstairs tomorrow. i'll post the picture until then.
