A Lame CIMB Branch Manager

About an hour ago, I was withdrawing some cash at an ATM of CIMB Bank, Taman Yulek Cheras. An elderly man was lecturing a bank staff that the bank has to attend to his need when he complained that the cheque scanning machine warned that it is out of receipt.

He added that the branch manager excuse that the bank is not opened yet and the whole branch is having a meeting is unacceptable. This uncle told me the manager even show a sign with his hands that the branch is still not opened but closed. He further argue that the manager could just assign someone to replenish the receipt!

The matter was finally resolved after about 30 minutes. How can we compete internationally when we have Malaysians who doesn’t care about their customers?

Subang Jaya Transition

I have moved to a new home early this month and still in the midst of transition. Since moving to this new place, more friends have been calling to meet up. I even bumped into Alven while walking around my area one afternoon. He has called me thrice since then for lunch of which twice I have to turn down. It is time to catch up with friends whom I seldom meet for the past 2 years. Exchange of opinions and stories is exciting; at least for me. ;)

Aftermath of Microwave-ovening an Egg

I bought a few herbal eggs before watching Die Hard 4.0 at TGV, Jusco Cheras Selatan. The egg shells were broken like this. So I thought it will not explode in my microwave oven.

The following day, I wanted to heat one of the eggs in my microwave oven after putting them in the refrigerator. KaBoom!

I jumped off my chair! I thought that was the end of my microwave oven. See the mess? heh.. It was really fun. =) SMS this joke to a few friends. Almost everyone laughed.

So yeah….even though the egg was broken, the air in the egg could also be an “IED bomb”. Only try this at home when your mum is not at home. =)
