FOS and two toilet bowls

-
Image
During my birthday month, I was informed by FOS that I have birthday voucher that offered me discount. Oh great: I wanted to purchase a pair of long pants then. Went to the outlet at Paradigm Mall but strangely, they couldn't find the voucher in their system. I called the outlet at One Utama, explained the situation and asked them to check whether they could find my voucher in their system or not. Yes, they could! Yay. So I made plan to follow Ban to One Utama on the day when he exercised at the gym there.  I brought a change of clothings so that I could also exercise at the mall by using the stairs. After exercising, I changed back to my casual clothings and went to FOS to shop for the pants. Got one and paid at a discounted price with the voucher :) It is a good fit for me, after getting it shortened (I'm short). I then went to Lung Ngen Claypot Coffee to have their claypot coffee for the first time. I loved it! Unique and aromatic. Then met up with Ban after his workout and ...

Inactive Maybank

-
Last year, I opened a joint account with my sister at Maybank . Couple of months ago, I received a mail informing me that my account was "inactive" and was given 30 days from the date of the mail to go to any branch to reactivate it. Failure to do so would incur a administration charge of RM 10 per year 😐 Well, it was already past the 30-day grace period by the time I read the mail. My sister told me that her children's accounts weren't charged anything despite reactivating their accounts past the deadline. Oh, that's great. So I went to the nearest branch the next day. Fortunately, there was hardly any customer and so I was quickly attended to by the office at the front counter. After he did something with my ATM/debit card, I was asked to withdraw money at the the ATM machine to "show" activity. I tried a few machines but didn't work: the machine refused to proceed to next step after taking in the card and spat it out. He then directed me to his c...

Assorted food #16

-
Image
Tea Garden: nasi lemak with chicken rendang. They acceded to my request of replacing the acar (pickle) with more cucumber. Good plating, components complemented each other. The rice has the coconut lemak fragrant, something that is shockingly rare nowadays.   Tea Garden: Hainanese chicken rice. First time encountered such dish. Ban said it was good. Another tick for that restaurant.     Kwong Wah: tumeric chicken. This was from last year. I decided to try after my mum and sister told me it was good. Unfortunately, it was quite plain to me :( Cost the same as the chendol i.e. RM 7.   HWC: hazelnut coffee. One of the better ones.     De Sundays Cafe: chicken katsu. This was pretty good. As with many of their dishes, this is a fusion dish.

Useless flight discount (to me)

-
Image
I rarely fly. Once a year, for sure I'll make a trip to Australia to spend time with my sister and her family, something that I enjoyed tremendously and of course subjected to their agreement on timing etc. I typically will fly Malaysia Airlines (MAS) to Australia and fly Singapore Airlines (SIA) back home. Other than that, I might at most fly to Singapore once a year via Firefly. In recent years, right after I purchased MAS ticket, I received an email from them within the same day or the next day, offering discount on the next flight. This seems to be a useless promotion to me: how likely that I would want to purchase another flight ticket right after having purchased one already? I would think that even for the those who fly often, they wouldn't have planned that much ahead, right?  Imagine for a typical working person: "I just purchased flight ticket to Australia for my planned vacation in 6 months time and ooooh, they just offered me discount on the next flight. Fantas...

Decathlon price difference

-
Recently, we went to the Decathlon outlet at Starling Mall to get a pair of swimming trunk for Ban. At first, the cheapest we saw was RM 59 but then I spotted RM 39, further down. He chose a few pairs to try.  While waiting for him, I saw and overheard a dispute over price: a customer was using the self-check-out kiosk when he mentioned that price that he saw to the staff. Staff was surprised ("It's never that price", something like that) and went with him to presumably to check the price tag on the shelf, where I couldn't see. What I saw next was the staff emerging and threw away a small thing, which I surmised to be the incorrect price tag. Once Ban chose a pair, we also used the kiosk to pair. FYI I'm a member of Decathlon i.e. I used their app. To our surprise, the scanned price was RM 59. Ban declined to sort it out with the staff and just paid for it. Back home, I received an email from them, requesting feedback from me, in the style of a short survey. Where...
