OK, you've all got blogs, so I'm creating one of my own, to sit, unvisited and unloved, like a forgotten grandparent, collecting dust in some home and, unnoticed... So now that I'm off on the right foot...

:: 1 or don't 1 ::

Malaysia is a very nice country. Somehow, no matter where you've been in other places abroad, you will still come back to this warm little country.. Well.. being said so, there are times when there's something that the government do is just plain "useless" (would like to use harsher words but...). For example the AFTA car tax... and now the RM1 thingy.

Here i'm ranting about the RM1 coins that they planned to take back by December 7th. What is that all about mannn..? Can't they decide for once that RM1 to be either on the note or coin? Why would they wanna take-back all those RM1 note from us in the 90's and introduce us to the golden coins?

Now they wanna take back the coins after so many years.. abit dumb rite? What happened to the beloved RM2 note? and also the RM20 note?.. Hilang!!.. I damn like the RM20 note, cause it's damn rare!!

Why am I so furious?.. cause for the past few days, I've been struck by dumb-ass people who doesn't wanna take my bloody golden coin (cashiers and car-park attendent). And then the yesterday I was at the carpark of The Curve, they don't accept RM1 coin anymore!.. talk about efficiency! Helloooo people.. the coin is still a valid currency till 7th December!!

Same goes on the last Saturday.. I was at Shangri-La carpark after the Mel C concert thingy @ atmosphere wif Gloria. We went to pay the carpark on the machine.. it was RM15, so the "smart Edwin" dun have change and stuck a RM50 bill into the thingy and thought okay.. they will return some "bill a.k.a notes" back out, but NOOOO.. it went "kling.. klang.. kling.. klang.."

Gloria: "err.. u hit jackpot"
Edwin: "yeah.. damnit"

one minute went pass...

It was 50cents coins.. with the value of RM35!

... great job Edwin..

(damn you bank negara...)
