It's been a long and draggy week.....ever since going to University. I've been dying to come home over the weekends. I also notice that this is my 1st blog post since i started my classes on the 16th July this year.
This week was supposed to be a weekend to be looking forward to. For various reasons, one major example is, this week is the English Premier League curtain raiser the "Community Shield" as League Champions Manchester United go head to head against the FA cup winners and league runners-up Chelsea. In addition to that, i also managed to get good seats for the simpsons movie. Thanks to a certain person name Melvyn, we got wonderful seats....right in the middle. Probably if not the ultimate seats in the cinema. It was also PC fair, it doesn't come really often however when it comes..it certainly drags a big crowd together with it.
Well, for those who know Ji Mi. Apart from his usual brilliant-ness with his sciencetific talk and all. Today, he showed that he is still very much human like everyone else. hehehe...
Incident 1: In my car on the way out from church
I was going to drive to KLCC. Ji Mi and myself were supposed to meet Melvyn there and Victor would join us later. So here is the first incident. It's a coversation between Ji Mi and myself.
Me : Alright, i'll be going back to change then we can go de.
Ji Mi : Okay, err...but Kevin now that i'm in your car...what am i going to do with my bicycle.
Me: *stunts awhile* then why on earth are you sitting in my car??
Incident 2 : At little penang cafe
We ran into Faith and Douglas at KLCC....but that's not the point. Back to the story, since we were starting to feel the time pressure on us. We swiftly made our orders. The drinks came 1st like usual. Then this bowl of prawn mee arrived...(*that's what i ordered*)
Me: Ji Mi, u ordered prawn mee too??
Ji Mi : yeah...
(this is the part where Ji Mi starts eating) (shortly, a bowl of assam laksa arrives)
Me: Oooi!! you're eating mine la!!
Ji Mi : No wonder it didn't taste anything like Assam Laksa
Me : you said earlier you ordered prawn mee , right Mel?
Melvyn : yeah...that's what you said.
Me : You're so gonna spend me pop-corn!
Melvyn : Mine too....
Mel was really pushing his luck alittle way too far.....it didn't work in the end. ehehhe
In conclusion, like what Melvyn said...Simpsons movie 5 stars for you!! It's a good show to catch. However, the crap part of the day came later...
It was time to go home....so we headed for the exit....Mel and myself queued up at the back of a long but moving queue to pay for the parking ticket.
Incident 1 : Machine "spits out" the ticket immediately after i slotted it in. Irritated and annoyed i was...
Incident 2: We repeated the same process, this time the machine was hungry...it ate my ticket..so i slotted my Rm 10 into the other slot....and it refused to give me my ticket this time. We pressed a couple of buttons and out it came.
However, i sense that a problem would occur later and true enough to my dismay. I was right. Towards the exit, as i put the ticket into the machine. The bar did not go up and they refused to let me go...despite showing them the proof which was 50 cent coins that the bloody stupid machine threw back at me...The way the people at the counter said this "ada bayar tak?"...to me was such a bloody insult. If i had intended on cheating money, i would be an idiot to cheap on parking charges....it's only a few dollars!!!!
I had to get out of the car, put the lights on Hazard mode...go to the office where i was questioned by some joker, whose words i could not understand a single bit. Soon after, i was allowed to leave, by telling my car number at the intercom.
An incident that drove me up the wall...and also recked my day.
In conclusion, KLCC parking machines are plain unreliable and stupid. The people working in the car park were very inconsiderate by posing their questions in that sorta manner.
Signing off,
Kevin
