Through My Window

This is my favourite version of that "hot" song.

Frustration

I had insomnia last night and when I finally fell asleep, I had this dream where I was lost walking around this small town. Although I have asked for directions from the people there, they were just pointing me to the wrong places. Funny how I didn't think of using my Garmin GPS on my phone though.

When I woke up, I quickly checked the internet for my dream's interpretation. The interpretation...

one word...

"Frustration"

How true!

Credit Card Cancellation

With the coming government's implementation of RM50 service charge for every credit card next year, I made the necessary steps to cut down from my 4 personal credit cards to 2 today.

First up is my Citibank Visa Clear card. As I have had this card for ages, I managed to accumulate up to 50,000 points. Not wanting to have these points wasted by cancelling the card straightaway, I redeemed it first for a nice looking laptop bag by calling the Customer Service just now. This will just be perfect for my new Dell laptop which I am praying hard that it will reach me soon.



The bag will take around 3 weeks and I will still get enough time to cancel the card by then.

Then there is my Public Bank Master Card which I have applied solely to get the 0% installment plan (Public Bank called it ZIIP) for my first ever PDA phone, the O2 Mini, also many years ago.



That was the one and only time that I have used that card. During that time, the card came with a 8 years annual fees waiver.

I called up Public Bank's customer service to ask how can I go about canceling the card and after what felt like incubating an egg, someone finally answered my call and told me that I can do so by just emailing them at custsvc@publicbank.com.my. That's convenient!

I immediately emailed them and I am pretty sure I will be receiving a call from them soon to ask why I want to cancel my card bla bla bla. I would probably tell them to go ask the government.

So what about you? Keeping all the cards?

Bukit Koman's "Char Koh"

I went back to my hometown last week to attend a cousin's wedding. As my parents have already migrated to Klang Valley, I do not have many reasons to go back except to throw in my votes during the election period. Come to think of it, I seldom went back even when my parents were still living there, hehehehe.

Anyway.... I went back to Raub with my mom, sis and niece last week. The wedding dinner was at 5pm and we reached around 3pm. So we took our sweet time to do some shopping. Raub is a small town with no shopping complex, so what is there to shop for?... Food lah!

There is this very famous "char koh" (dunno what's the right term in english - "dessert"??) place in Bukit Koman and you need to get there early when they open their shop, else there will be nothing much left... which we did.

So many varieties of "char koh" and they tasted very nice... unlike most of the ones you would get in KL.









We bought so many as if we were stocking for winter, and they were really really delicious. I am starting to salivate just by thinking about it.

Although this may be one reason why I should go back to my hometown again, but unfortunately I am not really a foodie. So it didn't work on me. :-)

Happy Belated Birthday, Axel

Axel turned 4 years old (human years) 3 days ago. I was too swarmed with work to do a post on that day.. and I forgot to get him special treats. :-( Baaaaaad daddy!

Anyway, I gave him a bigger portion of his usual morning and evening meals.

Happy Belated Birthday, Axel!
