Of Malaysian - more on our postmen

Letter flimsily left on my car windscreen When can they improve?  Just when I thought things could not be worse, here is where I found my letter.  I know why they place the letter everywhere except the letter box.  Apparently, my car was blocking the postman's motorcycle's path where he could just drop letters into my letter box without having to get down from his bike. Now, this is convenience for them! So, who cares about poor service as long as letters are delivered..not in letter boxes?  Do you notice the letter was not even placed under the wiper in case it may fly off?

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.

Of Malaysian - Pos Malaysia

Don't the postman realise that there is rain to drench these letters or even the wind to 'send' these letters to other people's doorstep? Maybe I am the only 'fortunate' one who had to bear with wet letters at my doorstep. A letter from my bank was soaked and was torn to pieces when I wasn't careful enough when opening the letter. Consequently, I couldn't even figure out exactly the content except for a few words here and there which eventually gave me a clue. It leaves me to wonder what is the SOP for proper delivering of letters?
