Of Malaysian - Smart tag reader

Sensitive towards my surroundings and always expecting what I deserve, I have decided that I will start writing about things, of the typical Malaysians, of course which truly reflect this real spirit, you will know what I mean if you follow my blog.

As a pioneer post, anyone ever complains about missing 'gadgets' in the car. I don't mean gadgets such as laptops or handphones left in the car which certainly attract thieves. I mean those items, attached to windscreen, which are supposedly 'valueless' and yet get looted. Yes, I am referring to the 'Smart tag' reader. You don't see these gadgets attached to windscreens of cars anymore as they get 'stolen'. But, these are supposed to be for convenience and speed to go through toll plazas without stopping long. So, tolerant drivers have to make do with keeping the reader with them (hide them in compartment away from the sight of thieves) and flash these readers as they pass through toll plazas.

So, these diehard thieves are really 'cari makan'. Even small gadgets like these can't escape them. A new one costs a hundred over ringgit, and a used one costs? Probably RM50?

My ambition was to be an accountant

From the first year I reached secondary school until I graduated, being an accountant had always been my first choice ambition.  It was only on my final year in Secondary 5 that my first choice had changed to being a 'Manageress'.  Somehow, as a child, an accountant gave me the impression of being a very highly-respectable profession.  Not only that, one can only call herself an accountant after passing all the necessary examinations.  She can't call herself one just because she holds the title of 'accountant'.  Having knowledge of this respectable profession or rather occupation, as what I knew last time, and the fact that not anyone can be an accountant, I told myself that that would be my choice.  How about doctors and lawyers? Aren't these respectable occupations? Oh yes, they are. And these earn a lot of money too.  I had even  thought about whether I would be able to be a good lawyer as being a lawyer means one needs to ha...

Why people blog?

Why people blog? The latest bug is lurking and penetrating to people from all walks of life, be they politicians, housewives (oh no, homemakers please as they prefer to be called due to their diverse duties), royal blood, retirees, entrepreneurs, corporate high-flyers, celebrities and more common people like me and some of you reading this post. A blogging family of father (the new or 'old' kid of the blog) and daughter , interesting. Actually, Tun Mahathir has been sharing his voices but this time he cleverly uses a different and wider platform. Each blogger has different objective/s. The bug got some into trouble , brings some peace of mind and even prosperity. The power of this bug has been grossly under-estimated until the government's ruling party's so-called unexpected 'defeat'. As for me, a better life is what I'm hoping for. For someone who used to sneer at blogging as a way to 'show-off' one's talents and 'announcing' to the wor...

We are still way behind in terms of customer service

As soon as we stepped into the restaurant, it was as though we traveled back to stone age.  We were impressed. However, as we spent the second half minute in the restaurant, we felt invisible.  Even when we were finally visible to the waitresses, we felt the least welcomed.  We were not shown to our table although the waitress was standing less than 5 feet from us.  We had to find our way to a suitable table. And, thankfully, we were finally served when we found our own table, that was when we asked the waitress to join another table for us as the two small tables are too uncomfortable for 5 of us. Ironically, for a restaurant of this size which has at least 20 tables, I could only see not more than 3 waitresses, excluding the cashier.  No complaints from us since our food came quite promptly.  The button for 'Service', 'Bill' are only for 'display'.  They didn't work, at least ours didn't work, not sure about the other but...
