Subscribe to PostsI was driving to Bank Islam to draw money for my investment. Kemaman traffic was a hell but I managed to keep my patience up. But the coming few scenes somehow successfully brought up my wrath.
SCENE 1
When I finally arrived, the queue was quite long. I was seventh in the line, yet I still think it’s fine. So I waited. When I was third, suddenly a short fat plumpy lady (yes, it’s Ramadhan, but I don’t care anymore) came in from the main door and straight away headed to the guy in front of me. “Tolong cucuk duit saya sekali..” she said, in heavy Terengganu. She was smiling annoyingly, bitching with the guy (who I think in his 40s). There were 8 or 9 people in the line behind me. Shame on you, fatty.
SCENE 2
I finally got my money, and left with curses in my head. Next destination is Maybank. So I headed on. Parking was trouble, but my brother is a magistrate, so I didn’t really care. It was crowded as well in Maybank, but as usual, being positive is one of my good abilities. When I finally reached third in the cash deposit line, SCENE 2 took place. There was a 50+ years old stooge, trying hard to bank in his money, helped by his 40+ years old friend, who turned out to be a stooge as well. They kept trying to key in the account number, and for God knows how many times, they still couldn’t fill up the 12-space Maybank account number. They only have 10 numbers. The younger stooge finally decided to back of, as he realized that people were waiting behind and the line had already reached the entrance door. “Takpe, kejap lagi kita try lagi…” I unintentionally saw a piece of yellow colored paper in his hand, which was surely the carbon copy of a bank-in slip, complete with an account number. I believe that number is the same number they were trying to fit in the electronic form of Maybank’s deposit machine. They took like half an hour, and still didn’t manage to figure that they were in the wrong bank. The slip has a Public Bank logo.
Oh dear…….
SCENE 3
After the stooges walked away from the machine, the guy in front of me started to bank in his money when suddenly another ugly-faced guy greeted him. “Masuk 200 nih skali, nih nombor akaun dia…” he said while handing the guy in front of me with four pieces of RM50 note and his state-of-the-art Nokia E71 with a set of numbers on the screen. Apparently, they were frineds. What a true unmannered @$$#0le. They had a short chat. I listened. Kelantan accent was pure. The ugly-faced works for ******** Carigali.
Handphone mahal, kerja bagus, tapi takde adab. Down the drain, dear.
SCENE 4
My turn. Click here click there, I finally got my money into the deposit machine, to be deposited to my friend who’s handling my investment. RM3500.
Darn! The amount should be RM4000. I screwed up. Since ATM machine can only dispenses a maximum of RM1500 per transaction, I had to do three transactions to get my four grand. RM1500 + RM1500 + RM500 = RM4000. Smart ass, Skis.
PS: 1MALAYSIA without manners. Down the drain !
PSS: A1 in Mathematics, SPM 2000. Down the drain !!
PSSS: Puasa hari ke-23 di bulan Ramadhan 1430 with a lot of hardcore curses in the head. Down the drain !!!

errr. i really dont understand. why 1500+1500+500 = 4000?
is there any missing link there? or i didnt get your whole point?
ooo forgive this old crooked spinster

@Zubaidah Arshad, That’s exactly the point. I supposed to draw RM4000, and the maximum amount can be drawn from any ATM is RM1500. So I should do three transactions, which is RM1500 + RM1500 + RM1000 = RM4000. Instead, what I did was RM1500 + RM1500 + RM500, and I thought that equals to RM4000, where the actual figure is RM3500.
I realized that I’m getting old too. Couldn’t even get a simple mathematics quest right.

@Mind, aaaaa. now i understand. haha. ala if i were you, i would withdraw at the maybank itself. minus one ringgit per transaction does save a lot of time yo~

you know your story reminds me of this one particular scene at my kampung during last hari raya.
i was queuing at one maybank’s ATM and this one girl kept on punching number on the pad, then the card rejected, then she inserted again and religiously repeated that insert-reject for a couple of times.
anguished and mad, she turned away and deliberately (and confidently) told the queue
“duit dah habis!” then she walked away.
upon checking, rupa rupanya MEPS offline.
one can be so ignorant sometimes and subsequently cost other people a lot of time. hrmmmm

@Zubaidah Arshad, Indeed. =)
If you ask me, I believe being ignorant is still acceptable. Not all people likes to find out about new things in their life, even some of those things would really be helpful in the future..
Impatient? I honestly can’t stand that.
Tapi kalau terlalu sabar pun susah jugak. Aish.
