Maid Issue

Our maid was supposed to be back in KL by the New Year's Day. We didn't get any phone call from her the few days prior, and things got rather suspicious when she failed to turn up after a couple of days.

We just found out that she missed her flight from Manila this morning and frantically we had to arrange for her to come back. Suffice to say that we had to foot up the bill for the flight. And being this late, we really got jacked at the Air Asia counter. The flight back alone cost more than her original return tickets.

We went straight to the counter at KL SentralBut we hardly had a choice. I had to cancel our original plan to have a few days out of town from Monday, since she could only get the flight back on Tuesday. I sorted out her tickets after my Mum's kenduri and now I was broke!

Hopefully there would be no more drama after this and things could return to normal after Wednesday!

Panic over! Our maid is back!

We Got the Tix

I had a hard time buying the tickets for Universal Studios this morning. I was trying to use the MayBank offer of 15% discount. Unfortunately at the check-out, I was told that since I have yet to register my credit card to my mobile, I couldn't proceed. Not giving up, I called the customer service. Then, I was given the lamest of excuse, I can't register because the system is down.

The sad thing was, according to the lady of the other end of the line, it may be down the whole morning. I was asked to call later. She wasn't very pleased when I asked what to expect when I got registered in terms of the mechanic of the check out later. She just told me to just follow the instruction on the screen and I will then be asked to enter a code which would be sent to my mobile via SMS.

So tried again earlier from work. True enough the system was still down. To register again later, I have to call the customer service again and go through the queue and punch-in menu system. Waste of time.

I ended up using my UOB credit card instead and forfeited the 15% discount. Sigh!
