Received the bank statement, saw a credit of a big amount of $$. I was shocked. It was very obvious that it wasn’t me that made the withdrawal.

So the next step was to call up the customer-care line to stop the atm card and to ask for help. So I reported the incident to them. They said in order to investigate further, they needed the police report. So I went to the police station to make the report.

Being at the police station was an eye opener to me. So I was there to report the case. The officer took down what I said and typed them all into a document. Fine. After that’s done, she called up to refer the case to the police station in BM. The strange thing was the BM police station pushed the responsibility to the BT police station. Then called up the BT police station, they pushed the responsibility back to BM police station. What?! What she did was to refer to the BM police station as they are the main station. She told me that they will ring me to follow up with the case. WHICH they did NOT still.

A few days later I went to the bank, told them I made a police report and wanted them to follow up with the investigation. The bank officer was happy to help and promised to ring me in the evening after she’d run through a check with the head office. WHICH she did NOT. So I went to the bank and asked her for the status. She with her reluctant face told me that she had not look into the matter yet. The necessary documents were still lying at the corner of her table. This is getting up my nerves and I acted cool, asked her if I needed to be there in case they found any clues during the investigation as she told me she will update me on Monday. She didn’t give me a chance to finish my sentence as I told her I will leave BM on Saturday. She proceeded by asking me to wait while she asked a fellow colleague how to deal with this matter. She is rude. I knew I went to the bank slightly after the bank had closed as I wanted to know the status of what she’d done. Clearly she didn’t even care about it.

For a person to lose such sum of money is helluva big issue. But for them, it’s a small case, probably it’s a regular case that they didn’t place priority in it.

I’m disappointed. Really am. I’ll just wait for Monday. If there weren’t any updates, they surely are in deep shit. I mean it.

Been to the LHDN office today to get the pin number for e-filing. Being new to this, I hardly know exactly what to do. Really.

First and foremost, the front desk is terrible. Why? There was a long queue and some were just hanging around to fill in some forms. Where is the efficiency?

Went to the counter area, it was rather confusing. As a first timer, I would find it difficult and lost. Yes, I got my number so I sat down and waited together with my sister. Many counters were on operation but somehow the waiting time was long. So I looked around to see what’s in store. I spotted a notice saying “No Pin Baru” and that’s the thing that we went there for.

Upon arriving a long table with officers sitting behind it, a lady officer asked “Nak apa?” Spontaneously my sister answered “nak nombor pin baru untuk e-filing” and gave her my identity card. She didn’t seem to be friendly and wanting to help. After checking, she asked for my income tax number, I told her I couldn’t remember. The look on her face clearly showed how reluctant she was to check the number from the server. The IC contains so much of information, why do they have to ask? Then what’s the use of the IC? Idiotic.

It was just a simple task. Why can’t they service with a smile? Look at this picture taken from their website.

This is a total opposite.

OR

Are they just being RACIST?

Everyone has got a different personality, different points of view, different attitude and behaviour. I’ve seen lots of these from the younger generation. Some tolerable. Some untolerable.

At times they’re so difficult to be controlled since they were brought up that way and acting as such is a norm to them.

Ughh. I dislike dealing with this.

Sometimes a kid can be so amusing that I don’t know what to say anymore. Simple things can go on being so complicated. The situation was checking of the registration-cum-application for the exam. So they should make sure the details are correct and they should tally them acceoding to their birth certs.

Strangely one of them asked, “Teacher, I think my mom’s age is wrong.” Then another one commented, “Ms Amy, I think the address is wrong, I don’t live here.”

Wahhhhh! I faint.

It’s official that that was the first time for them to see their own birth certs.

Can’t blame them for anything. They’re just being naive and innocent.

Still feel something is lacking. Tho it had already been awhile, it should’ve gotten more but what’s happening now is the other way round. How now? The means of communication are only the phone and the Internet. I guess these two can make wonders. I can’t help to be disappointed to have late replies or zero interaction virtually. It doesn’t have to be on a daily basis, else it would’ve been a routine. It’s just the thought that really counts, really makes soneone’s day go brighter. I looked forward for these and still looking for them. I hope I don’t wait for nothing.

Sigh.

I was a football fan back in my teenage years. I could stay up just to catch the match. At times, I even slept off on the couch. Mom would say that I’m silly for wasting the sleeping time.

Alright, here’s something amazing that I’ve found through football. I mean watching it. I was actually doing my work at the very last minute due to major procrastination. So I was burning midnight oil. I’m lucky to have someone there to accompany me at times when I have to stay up. He was watching one of the EPLs matches I couldn’t remember which teams were playing. He fell asleep after 15minutes but I was still wide awake, getting the work done rather in a pace I would label as fast.

Why? How come? It was 1 plus in the morning.

The secret lies in the football match. There bound to be people cheering for their favourite football clubs. It was noisy right? But that’s what kept me awake. The cheer! I felt as though they were cheering for me! My work was done in less than two hours (it could’ve been longer than that as I’m not a very hardworking person).

From that onwards, I have better concentration and motivation in doing my work with the help of the cheer!

Try it out!

Today’s the day (again). Ushering the new year with the three of us, mom, dad and myself (again).

Missing the days when we were in the younger years where the reunions were like a big hoo-haa. A lot to cook, a lot to eat. Simply the best. As the years passed, marriages took place, people parted their own ways. Reunions still carry on but it’s not like how it used to be anymore. Less people now. But not to worry ‘cos there’s is another reunion where everyone comes back to reunite. At this time, the family has extended. =))

Wishing everyone a very Happy Chinese New Year! And have a GREAT DAY everyday!

Can’t wait to see the lion dance.

When I first saw their results, I almost fainted. Maybe I had very high expectations for them. But then again, the mistakes done was mostly grammatical. At this juncture, they should get hold of the very basics of parts of speech. Eg: singular/plural nouns, verbs, present/past tense etc. Not forgetting spelling too! It’s as though they are learning it for the first time. Irony, ironic. Ironically, they actually started the topic since last November, however, the progress is slower than the previous years.

Fortunately, the administrative work isn’t that strict. That’s a big relief. Else, we’ll be wasting time on the old mistakes and not the teaching them new topics. Second test is up soon, I’ve targetted higher this time, expecting the kids to wake up from their DREAM. They just gotta buck up, and not to expect the teachers to feed them with answers.

I shall try my very best to get through the basics in the simplest ways. We want quality not quantity, but somehow, through quantity we’ll get quality. Practice makes perfect!

Work’s been stressful. Too much to do, too little time I have. What’s more if some of them need the extra coaching?It’s only the beginning, have I already thinking about giving up? No, I have not. That’s for sure. There’s a target which has been set. All I need to do is work on that target and the outcome should be alright (I hope).

Sometimes it’s just simply difficult. If simple grammar rules they cannot follow like the present tense and past tense, then it’s me who’s doomed, not them. Sigh.

Like abang said, do your best you can, the rest is up to them.

Had a tough time putting this through the kids’ brains. I didn’t take words outside from their book, in fact all the answers are there in forms of a table. But there’s one thing that makes me mad: they couldn’t be bothered to even look at it and tried answering the questions on their own. It’s a good practice to answer independently, but if you think you have doubts for the answers, look or them! Such an easy thing could seem to be very difficult. What is this man? Wake up guys, be alert and more focused!

Or maybe it could be the teachers’ fault for neglecting the mistakes made by the kids. Maybe maybe.
