Maybank ATM

As circulated over the net:

"I would like to share a real life story with all my friends and especially all my colleagues and all Maybank account holders. This incident happened on today evening (1 April 2008). I went to the PJState (Also known as PJ New Town) Maybank to withdraw RM500. Unfortunately for me, only 9 RM50 notes came out instead of 10.

What happened was, one of the RM50 notes was folded exactly in half and placed at a corner of the stack (Please refer to the attached pictures showing how two RM50 notes can be counted as three).

I was so upset because I have no proof that the ATM did not give me the correct amount. After much hesitation, I finally decided to call Maybank to complain about the incident knowing that I may not get back my money. But at least I can caution them of such incident. When I told of my situation to the Maybank Customer Service Representative, to my surprise, I was informed that I'm not the first victim. It seems that similar cases have occurred before. The lady explained that it is the malfunction of the ATM and the money may accidentally get folded in half. However when questioned, she was unable to explain to me why the money can be folded exactly in half and placed nicely in the corner of the stack.

I believe this is the new technique of cheating money, done by the people who are responsible of placing the money into the ATMs. In the stack of money which is to be placed into the ATM, one RM50 note is folded nicely in half, for every one note taken out of the stack of money. The folded RM50 notes are then placed at the edge of the stack and positioned in the ATM where the money would be counted. With that done, every one folded note would be counted by the machine as two notes. I may be wrong about how and why it happened, but I would like to warn everyone about this incident.

Please be careful when withdrawing money from the ATM (it may happen to other banks as well) and do count your money to be sure. If such an incident really happened to you (*touch wood*), please do call up the bank to complain about this. If everyone keeps quiet about this, the bank may be unaware of such incidents and the people responsible may just continue doing what they do without getting caught!
Even if it is actually because of the ATM malfunctioning, the bank should know about this and there is also a chance of you getting your money back."

This lady is gifted.

She has the brain and body.

And she got all the ups and downs in her life, which got her to experience some different lifestyles. No wonder she never regret of what she is doing!
Sometimes when I m too sick with my job, I’l be thinking of being like her. Trying to escape from the normal chores and doin things that I like, and most importantly can earn lotsa $. Well, of course in a different way. I’m not too sure what’s in her mind, but having a lifestyle like her is every girls’ wish. I mean being treated like a princess and perhaps having some guy to pay for your shopping goodies…Besides, she’s still getting respects from her clients despite her status as an ‘escort’. Isn’t that wonderful?

My mind is getting hay-wire these days.

Plain Jane

As to further prevent unnecessary use of bandwith in the office, the network dept has took a drastic move as to ban all personal blog domains as well. Such a great effort to keep track of these personal domain! Life is boring without blogs. Apart from blogging locally (using Word sheet), now I couldn’t even read blogs (be it in blogspot, wordpress, innit nuffnang, and various personal domains). Life sucks in da ofis!
Well, life does really sucks in my workplace, boss is dumb, salary is so-so, work amount sometimes unbearable, and teammates sucks! Darn sucks! Sucks! Sucks!
As an outcome of being so much in a mundane environment, I have slowly turned into a self-centered person just like the rest of my mind-your-own-business teammates. I realize about this and there is nothing I could do to change myself. I might as well call myself Jane, poor Jane!

Flashing back to 10 years ago, Jane was a mischievous gal whom (like any other teenage gals) enjoys gossiping, go craze over bands, cute guys and read junk mags (tabloids, gossips etc). Jane giggles along with her GFs whenever she sees Prince William photos over those mags (well, he was darn cute back then!). Despite unpopular, she has lots of companions, those naïve and innocent girls back then who were also her classmates. Jane was a huge fan of 911 band, but unfortunately was being forbade by parents to go for any of their concerts. Despite that, she and her sis still watched MTVs and scream and yell in front of it. Jane did her best in whatever she do as to impress her crush(which eventually never happen). Jane’s life was perfect and carefree, but now all is left is just memories.

Cheated? Not another time!

Is it unethical when you try to put a bad name on someone's business?

Well, i'm not sure if the thing i m posting here is legal or whether it comes from a trusted material, but anyway, instead of having malicious intention to ruin someone's biz, i m here to convey the message

"Please check the food price before ordering"

As circulated over the net:

Be careful n check prices especially when ordering fish dishes. This is not the first time we hear of this type of complaint and it won't be the last as we are all trusting people who don't normally ask about food prices before we order, some say 'pai seh' to ask price and "if you need to ask the price means you can't afford to eat the dish" ......" if no money don't order expensive food". I still think it is best to ask for the price if not sure to avoid such expensive bill.

Last week, I brought my guests to Genting Highlands. After a day 'above the clouds', we decided to have dinner at the Gohtong Jaya area on the way down. We ordered some dishes and decided to have a steamed fish as well. So the captain recommended 'sultan fish'. The steamed fish came. HALF, and plain steamed. Good & fine. But when the bill came, it came to over $500 !! We were shocked !! We were told the fish was 1.4kg (& please bear in mind, its ONLY HALF A FISH ) at RM 320 per kg! RM 420!! This was daylight robbery. We were not informed by the Captain that a kg of the Sultan fish would cost us RM 320 and there was also no signs of such pricings anywhere in the restaurant. When we checked with the cashier, she told us, its correct !!

Of cos, it was our mistake for not asking the price first. Anyway, on the way back to KL, we stopped at Unique Seafood, PJ, where one can choose a live fish. The most expensive Soon Hock swimming in the tank is RM135 per kilo. Asked them about the Sultan fish, it is going for RM100 a kilo. Will be sending this letter to the newspapers, Tourism board, etc etc; and friends, pls pass on to all on yr email list.

Nux's Comment: I'm shocked to see the bill (though is not mine!). I felt sorry for the victims above. Hopefully, by doing smart (asking price), we could prevent such "felt cheated" situation.
