Fifthteen

Do you know what I found out after come back from a 4-day rest? We do need a break from work. And I'd enjoyed my holiday very much. Plus, no piles of work on my desk. Thank God!

I began my first day of  a long weekend with a trip to Rama Clinic to collect my MC. Then, I got ready to meet my friends at Ampang (to send all the nominated CDs to the jury!) before meeting my aunt and my cousins at the Puduraya. But it was not went that smooth as what I wrote, because I'd to wait for 2 hours for the bus to Melaka and while waiting for my companions and the bus, I went to Kotaraya to buy some stuffs. Unfortunately, I was caught by a heavy rain. So, I ran to the nearest Watson to get an umbrella. By the way, the clock was showing a quarter to 4pm.

After satisfied with a green (the official color of Watson) umbrella, I walked leisurely to the counter with my Citibank Blue Card in my hand. To save my face, I added one more product worth RM70 because according to the staff the minimum value for using credit card is RM20.

Now came the first conflict. The verifying machine was down, I don't know, maybe because of the rain agaknya! To make thing worse, the cashier asked whether I have enough cash. Hello, if I have plenty of cash, what for I gave you the bloody plastic card! Then came the store manager, an Indian lady, asked the same questions. Maybe she can read my anger sparked from my fresh and naive-looking face, she took my card after requested my permission to inspect the card in her office. Hello, look who you're talking to! Inspection konon.

After too fed up waited for almost 15 minutes, I said to the cashier that I want to cancel the purchase. With a very sad face, this twenty-something-year-old guy informed me that he can't do that without the authorization from his superior. At the end, I went to the nearest Public Bank ATM and settled the bill and straight away walked into the heavy rain with my green umbrella heading to Puduraya.

My bad day didn't end there. The bus only came at five. And I arrived home at 7.30 pm. After had a quick dinner, we (my dad, my mum, my sis and I) went to Kak Ipah's house. Apa lagi, menolonglah.

Gtg. To be continued... hehehe
