Renew ATM card

Setiap kali datang ke tempat ni mesti rasa macam nak mengamuk.

Kalau boleh memang saya sedaya upaya akan elak buat urusan di bank secara physical. Paling convenient kalau dapat buat online. Nak harap call centre, yang tu lagi teruk.

Kali ni terpaksa jugak jejak kali ke cawangan ‘terdekat’ sebab nak renew ATM card, atau namanya glamour nya Debit Card; saya tak pernah pun guna function debit tu, nak kad untuk ATM je dan takda expired date macam dulu boleh tak?!

Sebenarnya kad saya dah expired end of last year, tapi masih dapat guna sampai la ke bulan lepas. Memang dah tak dapat nak cucuk duit dah. Saya dah apply renewal online.

Tapi dapat message ni.

Hais, yesterday dah hari gaji, kad pulak dah expired.  Terpaksa jugak la ke bank hari ni.  Kalau dah ke bank, memang tak sah la kalau tak tunggu sampai lebih dari satu jam.  Tak suka tau menunggu kat bank, macam aku pulak yang berhutang kat engkau ye?

Ni lepas 5 tahun nak datang lagi la pulak. Isk tak suka.

Red Palm Tree

I have been toying with the idea of doing some re-landscaping on our mini front yard.

In order to do the makeover, this red palm tree has to go.  Plus I think that this palm tree looks a bit outdated, you know, plants also like fashion, they have their seasons.


Last weekend we attended the Palm Sunday Mass.  Since MCO, we were encouraged to bring our own palm, and we harvest ours from this red palm tree.  This red palm tree is where we got our palm supply for the past 3 years ever since the MCO.  Normally the parishioners will gotong-royong go and collect the palm, typically a Sago Palm.  However, MCO changes everything.

During the Mass, the Father said, "Thank you for bringing your own palm from home, be it a red palm, yellow palm, or even a coconut palm.  If you don't have any, you can start planting tomorrow."

We laughed at his jokes, but in my heart, I knew that our palm tree is not going anywhere for now.
