Here's My Story

  Saw this at SS2. I believed it was at the XLL Malahotpot restaurant. Did patrons frequently sing in this restaurant in the past? If so, why did they choose this restaurant?

Sentence: " Singtel said Wednesday that it’s supported Optus by investing more than A$9.3 billion in the past five years, with a large proportion going toward building network infrastructure across Australia.

Unexpectedly, about three months after the first repair , my laptop had issue again. This time it was worse: I was playing Minion Masters when everything stopped working except for the power indicator. Thinking that it was an auto-shutdown, I pressed the power button to start up the laptop but unexpectedly even the power indicator light went off i.e. no lights whatsoever from the laptop. A quick web search led us (Ban drove) to Zarif Refurbished Laptop (we were in Butterworth), which had many Google reviews with average rating of 5. Unfortunately, the technician was on a 4-day company trip. Next we went to Northern Lowyat, after Ban called (I drove because Ban was feeling tired) to confirm that their technician was available. It was the shop where my sister's family had gotten their laptop repaired previously but her feedback was "No choice" when I asked her whether they were good or not 😅 Took another two days before they informed me that the issue was faulty motherboar...

Several months back, my mum came across two old BSN bank books, one of which was a joint account with my sister. She asked me to bring her to a BSN branch to close the accounts. Unfortunately, because these were inactive for more than seven years, they were already closed and we were told to go to Komtar to reclaim the money. Komtar is the name of a building on Penang island and so I asked the bank staff the name of the organisation that held the money but I couldn't understand her. So I gave up and instead did a web search later. That was when I came across eGUMIS, a web portal established by Jabatan Akauntan Negara Malaysia i.e. Malaysia Department of Accountant to enable people to claim unclaimed money online, rather than physically going to their office. There were a couple of obstacles I encountered: firstly, it wasn't possible to claim money in joint account; secondly, annoyingly it took many tries (over the course of nearly 2 weeks) for the portal to work properly i.e. I...

About 3 weeks after the last appointment  i.e. a month after the laser procedure, Ban's eye was checked and it was ok. So now he could go back to doing his usual exercises i.e. lifting weights and jogging but avoid doing anything that involves sudden jolt. However, we were caught by surprise when he given another follow-up appointment in 6 months time. Later, with his agreement, I checked with Asia Eye Centre, which is much nearer to where we stay, whether Dr Poh would be ok to do this follow-up. According to the staff there, she could check the eye but she isn't specialised in retina and so the implication that if there is something wrong with the retina, Ban would still need to see another specialist. Well, in that case, we agreed that Ban should just stick to the Subang Eye Specialist Centre. 

Hmmmm I think it's very possible to exhaust all possibilities, isn't it?
