TNB oh TNB...

Oh yeah, TNB give us another problem again and this one is the worst one.. Let me do the telling then you can have you say okay!

red letter received on 20/01/2012

Last night when we arrived at our flat, we were welcomed with another red letter from TNB which surprised us since we have just paid TNB red letter last week. We got this red letter on Friday before CNY holiday and the amount is RM142.24 and no 'pemotongan' stamped on it, while this latest red letter amount is RM273.98 with 'tanggal jangka W/O 41' stamped on it. Hubby then check on the meter board and guess what? TNB did not took away the fuse as they always do but this time TNB remove our residence electric meter entirely! What the heck??!!

"surprise" for us from TNB!

At our flat area, our electricity/water bill always lost because of the naughty kids doing. So we have to wait for the 'surat peringatan' or red letter from TNB to know the amount we have to make payment. Well, it's not a good habit though but I don't like to pay something without a bill/invoices a reference. So yeah, maybe it's our fault for waiting the red letter from TNB but what puzzled my husband and me is why TNB remove our residence electricity meter entirely??? I mean, normally they will only take away the fuse right?? Moreover, why didn't they updated our payment even though it already 4 working days since we paid the previous red letter?? We paid cash not with cheque that have to wait 3 days to clear! (*fuming)

hutang RM131.74, TNB tanggal meter!

My husband called TNB helpline, asking for explanation why this happened and also seeking for help but guess what they say? "Dalam sistem tidak dinyatakan apa sebab meter rumah anda ditanggalkan". Come on, there must be reason for everything right. As for the help, at first they said will send the technician to put back the meter but then later when it almost midnight, they said have to wait until today and we have to go to the TNB Subang Jaya branch! Aiyo, cakap belit2.. Why don't just say that they cannot do anything! So in the end, we were in heat with candles as our light for whole night. You know how hot it can be during night time in city... I cannot imagined how did our ancestor managed to live and survived without electricity...

Today, my husband go to TNB office at Subang Jaya and ask the officer for explanation. My husband said nobody can give any. They keep saying that there is still balance due of RM131.74 need to be settle. Well, if so TNB can take away the fuse as they normally do right? Why TNB remove the entire meter as if we owe TNB thousand ringgit?? My husband then told me that TNB said it happened because of the system fault.. Excuses..excuses.. My husband also said that TNB said will install back the meter by today but just now he told me that he called TNB customer service to keep on tabs about this problem status and guess what they said? "Untuk kes pemasangan kembali jangka, biasanya ambil masa 3-5 hari berkerja." What the heck???!! It's TNB system fault that put us in this hard situation and now they giving excuses to fix back what they done wrong even though we already settled the balance due of RM131.74! This is what I hate the most.. We gave you, your money, so can you PLEASE fulfill your part A.S.A.P.. (*please note the sarcasm)

This incident really give me lesson not to wait for the red letter anymore because when it concern with money, even a small amount as RM131.74, TNB can be heartless! You too don't forget to pay your electric bill every month or else TNB will remove your meter..(*please note the sarcasm again)

I am done for now! Happy Thursday everyone! (^_^) V

P/S: Marah2 but still smiling tau because smiling can keep you from aging! ..(^_^) V

Positive Thinking!

That what I been done to kill my frustrated condition last Sunday! When I went to my driving class last Sunday, I keep saying to myself to think positive, that I can do it and yes indeed I can! I executed the going down slope successfully though I need more practice to do it smoothly! I will never doubt the power of positive thinking anymore! =P

Image by positivethinking-toolbox.com

Honestly, I been doing this since 11 years ago when my life turned upside-down and it has become some kind of amulet to me every time I make a mistake in my life. Whenever I realized that I have done a mistake, small or big one, I will try to console myself from breaking down by thinking positively that the mistake happened for reason, that everything will be alright in the end. Sound like I am making an excuses right? Some people even said that doing this doesn't help at all! But, to me I need this to prevent myself from stress/depression that might effect people around me since I am a person that can stress out easily even over a small matter and of course I do it with reality intact okay since we live in real world not in fairy tales..(*smile)

However it doesn't mean I always think positive of everything since on some matter I do have to think realistically. What I am doing preaching all this stuff when I knew all of you already know the power of positive thinking?? Stale topic suda ni Tunung!! (*mentally slapping myself)

Stale or not, I want to have my say too and I am done now! Until next post, have a nice day everyone and don't forget to THINK POSITIVELY! Peace no war.... (^_^) v 

 

Frustrated!

That exactly what I feel right now! I am frustrated with myself for being unable to execute going down slope successfully even though I been learning it for 2 hour today! As I told in my past post, I am going to get my driving license this year and FYI I already took the computer test on 31st Dec last year and managed to pass through it and now already started the 16 hours driving class after I got my 'L' license. Honestly, the last time I learn how to drive was like 12 year ago and I never drive again since. In fact you can say that I don't know how to drive any longer!

So far I can say that I am okay with the side parking and even the 3 point turn (which I managed to learn a bit today) but I am really such a failure with the slope test! Actually not the whole slope test since I think I can execute the going up slope quite well but really suck to execute the going down slope! I did it over and over again for 2 hour today but only managed to execute it successfully few time only and failed most of my attempt! I feel so damn bad because everyone else can do it smoothly while I am still struggling! Ironically, most people said going up the slope is the hardest while here I am whining of my struggle to going down the slope without either the engine died or reverse down the slope.(*sighing).. After trying for more than an hour and half and still unable to descending the slope smoothly, I can feel my knees shaking and I am losing my focus..(-_-)

Luckily my instructor noticed my depression and try to cool me down and diverted me with another lesson which is the 3 point turn that I can say I managed to do although I only learn it for 30min or less. However I need to practice it more to master it. However, I am not yet quite over with my depression with my failure to execute the going down slope because I am still thinking about it. I keep chanting to myself that if other can do it why not me, that I can do it better tomorrow. Yep, tomorrow I have another 2 hours driving class and I really hope I beat my failure! Keep up the positive attitude Tunung..

Now I know how hard it is to drive a car! No wonder my husband have those angry expression every time I complained/grumbled about his driving attitude because I thought it was easy! Now I learn my lesson that it is not easy as we see it.. (*sighing again).. 

That's all I can write for now. Really sorry because nothing important but just my whining on this post but now you do know a thing about me; that I don't know how to drive (*smile).. As always, don't feel shy to offer me anything; tips/encouragement/comment okay!

Ciao and have a wonderful weekend everyone!

SARA 1Malaysia

I guess everyone must already alerted about the new investment program/ saving scheme called SARA 1MALAYSIA. Me too interested to apply this investment but I couldn't because only those with combined gross household income between RM500 - RM3000 eligible to apply..(*sighing)

I envy those who can apply this investment program/saving scheme because to me it is one of the easiest way for me to save money especially person with poor financial management like me. To me the RM500 - RM3000 combined household income eligibility is not quite fair because there were lots of family with combined income more than RM3000 especially those who have many children and live in the big city have problem to save money (including husband & me). When you live in the big city/city with many kids, you are still considered low-income group even though your combined income more than RM3000. I don't to explain or elaborate this matter because WE/YOU the urban dwellers know how true this fact.. Hopefully in future they will put this matter into consideration. (^_^) V

I never apply any investment program/saving scheme before this. Not even the ASB loan though I do have ASB because I don't have the budget/commitment to pay the loan but I do save some money according to my ability. You know, like if I have RM100 extra money for those month than that will be my saving. Bad management right? But I want to change that from this year! (*smiling). Though I feel down for not able to apply this SARA 1Malaysia investment program/saving scheme, I am still happy to let you people know how beneficial this investment/saving scheme (at least to me okay!) and you may read more about it from their official website at sara1malaysia.com.my

So for those who eligible to apply, don't forget to get the application Form from the participating banks/agent starting on 30 January 2012 okay! Till next post, Happy Weekend everyone!

Anticipated Holiday!

Almost a week without single post from me..(*sigh).. Not that I am busy or anything but it just that I have nothing interesting to share about. CNY holiday? Well, honestly we did not go anywhere but lazing off at home since we have not plan anything because we need to save up for our brief return to my village this coming April. Yes, all of us; the kids and me will going back to my village!

This is going to be 1st time for my hubby and 3 of my kids; Elan, Shasa and Eyas to visit my village after 10 years. Before this I couldn't afford the air ticket that why they never been to my village. As for Daniel, he been there before and he even live with my parent for a year during my final year in UKM. Normally I go back by myself but this time whole family going back together and that really excited all of us especially the kids. The husband kind of nervous because he is going to meet my siblings that he never meet before. I feel kind of funny to see his anxious expression whenever I mention about this trip because he is worried if my siblings gonna bully him during those period. Hehehe, I survived his family all this while so why can't he? Payback time (*winking and evilly smile).. Just kidding though! (^_^)v

I promised my kids that they going to have a good time in Ranau. I knew they will love my hometown as much as I love it! I am going to show my kids why I always miss my family and my hometown and at the same time hoping that they will fall in love with my hometown! I can hardly wait to see my mom and my village! No matter how beautiful the city of KL, it can never win my affection toward my village where I grew up!

All of us really hope that this time nothing will come between our plan to go back to my village. My mother also very excited to meet all of her grandchild and also her son-in-law. I hope everyone can accept my husband as one of our family. So that is what the anticipated holiday all about. I don't want to boast up about it since some people said it not good to 'broadcast' plan that still far from achieved but I am too excited and can't help myself from writing about it here! Please pray for me and my whole family that everything will goes smoothly and all of us will finally go back to my village okay!

I think it is not too late for me to wish all Malaysian especially my friends and families who celebrate Chinese New Year, "GONG XI FA CAI!" May all of us will have a PROSPEROUS year and may this year of Dragon will spread PEACE and HARMONY all over the world! Plus, Happy holiday everyone!

The Price I Pay

It's Monday again and here I am trying to crack my blur mind of new story/idea to share with people out there (*winking). But honestly, I miss to write something in this blog of mine.. Not much to share about my ordinary life but I do have something that I need opinion from you people. It's something related to the title of this post, so bear with me & keep reading ok!

1st of all, million thanks for those who leave comment/opinion in my previous post about dilemma of married woman. I really appreciate your generosity for sharing your thought and good news is I already figure out how to convince my mom. I also figure out how to fulfill my dream and at the same time avoid prejudice from certain people. Well, instead of traveling alone I think it more safe and fun if I travel with either my husband or my friends/ families. Wise thinking & good choice right? Self appraising huh.. (*rolling on floor laughing) My mom have no objection once I told her that! I guess she is just worry about my safety when traveling alone (*smiling). Issue solved, next problem please! Kada kotogod kio ambalut.. (^_^) V

Recently I noticed that my kids are a bit scared to tell/to ask  me anything and frankly I only realized last weekend that they were not "a bit" scared but they are SCARED of me! I asked my husband why the kids acted like that and guess what he said??

"Seriously?? You don't know why the kids scared of you? Did you noticed that since the beginning of this year you always snap at them? I mean you are always tensed and even a small matter make you angry. I didn't say anything because I know you are stressing out with our financial problem."

Well, I did remembered snapping at the kids few times but I never thought that will make them scared of me and I don't like the kids to feel like that towards me. I tried to control myself from getting angry or snapping to them but I am just human being that sometimes it just happened. Some people said that this problem occurred because I am so young and not yet ready to face the challenge of motherhood. Obviously I am 29 years old mother of 4 kids but to me age but there are lots of young parent out there who excelled in parenthood, better than some of parents who are older than them. So, I guess we shouldn't judge parent based on their age.

In my case (from my own point of view) this problem all caused by my  weakness in tackling my stress! I have no one to blame but myself for causing my kids being afraid of me. No matter how tensed or stressed I am, I shouldn't snap on them because now I am paying the price of my own mistake(*sighing). Still don't know how to win my kids heart and trust.. Can you imagine how I feel when I see my kids expression of fear every time they ask something to me? I feel horrible! No wonder they were cowering whenever I raised my voice..(-_-) So parent out there, what do you think of this matter Obviously I need to re-evaluate myself to avoid myself from snapping at them but any opinion/suggestion/idea on how to tackle this kind problem really welcomed here!

Okay, gotta go now and search for some info on how to win my kids heart again. If any of you have any advise please do tell me.. (*puppy face)

Happy Monday everyone!

Dilemma Of Married Woman

While everyone busy giving their opinion about Anuar not guilty verdict which announced earlier today, here I am feel obligated to voice out about my dilemma as a married woman who want to catch up what I missed during my youth year. Sound like I am going to whine again huh..(*Laughing)

Last year, I mean few days before New Year, I called my mother back in my village and I talked to her about my future plan. Most of it about my intention to travel alone around Malaysia and guess what my mom said to me??? "Minog poh boh mingansau kopio dot nokosawo om kitanak Unung." English translation; "As you are married and have kids, you shouldn't think of being active/out-going anymore." Well, I don't really agreed with my mother this time because to me that kind of thinking is really ridiculous and selfish. Yes, I am married with kids but that shouldn't prevent me to enjoy my life & try to fulfill my dream.

I don't understand when people have such thought that married woman should be content staying at home only and taking care of her kids and husband. Maybe some women might feel content but an active women like me will feel like trapped and unable to breathe. I already know that I am not going to be a full time housewife who stay at home taking care of her family only since I was young because I was and still an active person. But don't get me wrong because as other people some time I can be the most lazy-bone person you ever know when I am not in mood..

My main point here is about this thought/opinion of people especially the elder people that married woman should only think about her family and don't have right to go anywhere or don't have right to have fun! Every living soul have right to enjoy and live their life to the fullest and we married woman also want to have fun in our life. Please don't deprived us of our happiness and enjoyment just because of married status! 

I am done with my 2 cents(*rolling on floor laughing) and going straight to bed...Married woman out there, what do you think? Please share your opinion/comment because I would love to hear what other think of this topic. Until next whining okay!

Good Night & Happy Tuesday in advance!
