Shopping for laptop for Sienz today... We went around Low Yat asking for prices for a Acer 5642. Spec's almost the same to Shiun Woei's except for the webcam and 1 minor thing, so we took the cheaper alternative, upgraded to 1GB of RAM of course... So we went around and around a few floors asking and looking and going through A4 printed brochures... Finally we got our deal, RM3460 at a counter beside the escalators. My dad asked about paying with cards and.... They charge us RM70 if we were going to pay via credit card! We decided that we could spend the 70 ringgit on something better e.g. our dinner at the Hongkie Restaurant in Sungai Wang Plaza, so I proposed to withdraw RM3k from my bank account at the nearby (from the 3rd floor to LowerGround) ATM machine.
We reached the ATM machine after going down a few floors with the escalator and finally gave up going round and round to each escalator's beginning. So we took the emergency stairs. Finally we reached the machines. I withdrew 1k from Maybank. I was going for the second thousand when the display read, 'You have reached the DAILY limit of RM1000 withdrawal.' OMG! I had to withdraw 1k from my BCB account via MEPS. The third thousand was a fuss too... My BCB account allows me to withdraw 1k per day also??!! However, the MEPS function on the RHB and Maybank machines just read, 'An error had occured during the transection.' instead of properly informing me of my daily limit... Zzz... They should have been more specific. Defunct machines, I said...
We had 2k but we needed 3k. Sienz look through his wallet and, voila! There was 500Dollars in this piece of man-made-leather! We rushed to the money changer and changed $400 into RM900+ (mind you, it's Singaporean $ not US$) Yeah! We got the 3k!
The rest is history. Now Sienz is helping both piracy, transferring songs and stuff... Heheh!
