Series of Unfortunate Events


Today was not going very well for me!!! Let me list the unfortunate events that happened to me today and made me grouchy like Grinch during Christmas;

  1. First thing in the morning, I went to Pejabat Pos Alamanda to withdraw my ASB (I want to use the money for changing my iPhone's battery) and to post chocolates from Langkawi to my friends. Everything went smoothly until I want to renew my parents' road tax. I just want to know the quotation, so I asked one of the worker. She said that I should take a number. Of course I understand her situation for I am ' 'counter person' as well. But the way she said it, well it's another story. The tone of voice she used is very unfriendly and quite demanding. So, I took a number! I missed the first number for I went to another place. My fault entirely. So, I took another number. Waited around 20 - 30 minutes. I went to the counter and the worker told me that they were out of car's road tax. So, I wasted my time there!
  2. Next, I went to Conezion IOI City. I have appointment for my iPhone at Thundermatch there. I saw the store on the first floor but I couldn't find my way up there. I went around the building, cursing the people who designed those building, still couldn't find my way up. I asked the security officer (I should do this first instead of wasting my time walking around. Well, on the bright side, I completed my 10,000 steps that day, huhu..) and he showed me the elevator. So, I finally managed to get to the store. And again the worker's attitude really got on my nerve! In malay, simply kerek! He told me that the repair required 14 working days because my phone is a very much older model. And FYI, it's not that old, it's iPhone SE and I only bought it four years ago. I understand that in terms of phone, yes it is a bit old. But the way he said it, made me think that mine was iPhone 3 instead of SE. I pushed him and finally he said if they managed to get it done in a week, they'll contact me which he doubted. Not wasting any more time, I went to my next chore that was renewing my parents' road tax.
  3. So, I Googled the nearest post office and it was at Shaftsbury Cyberjaya. I went there but I couldn't find it and I Googled the nearest JPJ. It was only 2 minutes away. But, unfortunately it is only the IT Department, not opened to the public. So, the security officer told me to go Shaftsbury. I made my way back there and finally saw the post office on the top floor! Alhamdulillah, I managed to renew the road tax without any hustle.
  4. Since I'm already in Cyberjaya, I thought of going to Bookxcess Tamarind Square. Again, I encountered the same problem in Conezion. I parked on the level of Bookxcess but the entrance to Bookxcess was closed due to construction. I walked around for almost 15 minutes until finally I found the way in. I almost gave up! Browsing through books calmed me down. I bought a few books and fortunate enough to find my way back to my car easily. 
  5. I went back to my sister's house. I couldn't find Pujim. And it turned out that she was missing. She was not familiar with the area, unlike Tiger that's originally from there. We searched around the house and still couldn't find her. I blamed all the people in the house for not looking after her! I knew it was unfair to simply blame them but like I mentioned before, the series of the unfortunate events made me grumpy... 
To made things clear, my grumpiness and grouchiness has nothing to do with Valentine's Day that happened to be today, haha..
