It doesn't work that way (Part 2)

So here's trying to bust another chain-mail.

I am an avid online shopper, probably like everyone else out there, and I rely A LOT on my ATM card. Even if I don't do online shopping, I keep most, if not all, of my money in the bank. So sometimes even for a casual meal, I'll have to go to the bank to get like 50 bucks.

It wastes time, and it is also dangerous. And it's probably suicide announcing this out here, but I believe none of my blog readers are out to rob me la hor?

So I received this forwarded email that goes like...

WHEN A THIEF FORCES YOU TO TAKE MONEY FROM THE ATM, DO NOT ARGUE OR RESIST, YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW WHAT HE OR SHE MIGHT DO TO YOU. WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IS TO PUNCH YOUR PIN IN THE REVERSE, I.E.. IF YOUR PIN IS 1254, YOU PUNCH 4521.

THE MOMENT YOU PUNCH IN THE REVERSE, THE MONEY WILL COME OUT BUT WILL BE STUCK INTO THE MACHINE HALF WAY OUT AND IT WILL ALERT THE POLICE WITHOUT THE NOTICE OF THE THIEF. EVERY ATM HAS IT; IT IS SPECIALLY MADE TO SIGNIFY DANGER AND HELP. NOT EVERYONE IS AWARE OF THIS.

FORWARD THIS TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND THOSE YOU CARE

My usual instincts when I read emails like this would be, "Hmm yes very interesting and helpful. I would turn to this one day when I need it."

But the thing is, THIS IS SERIOUS OK! I mean, what if I really was in such a situation, I enter the pin backwards, it doesn't work, the money doesn't come out, the police wasn't alerted? I'll probably end up raped and stabbed to death in some back alley (if I went to the bank alone, that is).

Simplest thing to do is to Google it. Google anything! "ATM Pin reverse", "Typing ATM Pin backwards" and you'll find out the truth. It doesn't work.

Yes, it's smart. Yes, someone thought of it. But no it doesn't work, because there are too many flaws behind this. How can you possibly tell what is your pin BACKWARDS when you have a knife/gun pointed at you? 4-digit pins are probably okay, but in our country, we ALL have 6-digit pins right? Can you tell what your pin is in reverse, in a matter of seconds? Is your attacker stupid enough to believe you need so much time to recall your pin?

Link 1
- would tell you straightforwardly that this is a hoax.


Link 2
- would make you think, "Hmm maybe Malaysia has it" (positive thought lol)
- quick glance at the comments would have you in fits of laughter. I mean, look at this:

TMichael says:
but what if your pin is the same in reverse? such as 1221?

urbanlegends says:
Then, as I understand it, you enter your PIN “inside-out” — 2112.

- seriously, are ATMs so smart?



So please, don't do it. You even risk having the ATM eat your card for punching in the wrong pin (believe me, it happened to my Mom when she was using her card for the first time).

And no offence to Glen, from whom I received this! Both him and Jimmy are like mad chain mail senders!

It doesn't work that way.

SURPRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISE!!!!!!

The method doesn't work. So no point trying it. The onion looks fresh as ever hahaha for some weird reason.

The only way to cure yourself when you're sick, is GO SEE A DOCTOR! Which I did :) And also TAKE YOUR MEDICATIONS ON TIME-

...which I forgot to do today *runs off*




*tiptoes back*

Seriously must take med on time! But I don't seem to be getting better cuz I'm still coughing like hell now. I don't know if I should go to work today. Should I?

Mom wanted to send me to the hospital for the oh-so-scary H1N1 check. I don't know whether to laugh or go along feeling paranoid. I mean... nowadays you can't be so sure anymore right? For all you know, the next deadly flu virus will come unnoticed and be called the fish flu or something and I could be the first to kena and die.

My fish gave birth don't-know-how-many times already. Super-cute! And some of them are gaining colour and everything, I feel so proud!

And oh ya yesterday I bought two tortoises... which will actually be put into the lotus pond/well in my garden. But I'm afraid I'll lose them cuz apparently they're not as intelligent as fish who will swim back into the pond (when it overflows! Esp when it rains). They'll just crawl out happily wtf.

SO CUTE! See the one on the rock.. only its head is out hahahahahaahahahaha look so stupid hahahahahahaa. *slaps self

Don't know if I should name them or not though. I don't know how to name or kui's. Give me some ideasssss!!!

I'm damn lame

Fallen gravely ill, and it got worse this morning. My boss gave me extra hours to work since he knows I am willing to, so this morning I had to get up early. Because I couldn't sleep well the night before, I woke up with a really heavy head. Funny thing is, only one side of my nose is blocked. When your nose is blocked you will usually turn to the other side so it will unblock, right?

So I turned the entire night cuz one kept blocking the other wtf. Transferring disgusting green mucus like a game of volleyball.



Anyway while working my head felt heavy, everything was spinning around me, and I ended up puking my breakfast of wan tan mee :( I've never felt so shitty for a long time. I left half an hour early, and here I am still "resting", missing my night session.



ANYWAY (again), while onlining and kaypo-ing at everyone's Facebook account, I suddenly remembered a forwarded email I received about onions! It came from Chong Eng, sounded pretty convincing (but I find every forwarded mail convincing anyway) and no harm trying it right? Rather waste an onion than sneeze every 5 minutes.

The trick is to put an onion on your bedside table when you sleep cuz apparently it will absorb all the bacteria for you and turn black the next day..

But don't all fresh foodstuff turn black when you leave it unrefrigerated overnight? Wtf.

It's next to me now. Will let you know if it works!

And I vow to take better care of my body and self from now on. I've been continuously sick! :(

Back from KL!

Wah finally back home.. serious hectic weekend in KL. Lotsa running around (well, in a car actually) and getting stuck in jams and going around in circles and decisions to make! Hehehe thankiu Ms Soh Shian Ru for being like the driver for everything. Couldn't imagine what she's feeling like if I'm feeling exhausted even when I'm not driving.

I don't have much to blog about cuz I got no pictures!!! The camera is either with Ru or ChinSiew so I'll just wait for the Fb uploads.

Dear and I in the bus! First time taking Aeroline hehehe.

Don't come and tell me I look absolutely horrible in the pictures taken at The Library, because I got like zero makeup on, and I had a long day! (Woke up at 7am, waited at college for hours, sat 5 hours bus to KL, waited one hour at Sunway, ate absolutely great dinner, go home and put stuff, and go out to chill at 12am wtf). Eh i just summed up my Friday in a bracket wah.

And this trip is full of DOGS omgggg! So happy!

First it's smelllyyy chao Lulu who shit all over the floor and jump all over the bed and our luggages... But damn chek ak also cuz always kena punish hahaha. Damn excited dog, I don't know how I'll handle her when she's passed to me.


And meet Fluffy!

She's the most adorable and manja puppy I've ever met! (Pardon my big tummy hehe)

While eating pork noodles in Subang..

On the way to see Uni.. she didn't sleep the whole night so she steam-ed the whole day and slept! She kept moving around and bending her body all over to find a comfy position, and finally found one. Which i found rather cute although awkward.

See she squished herself between my arm, Ru's bag and the seat and bent her body in a "C" shape hahaha.

At 1U.. smuggled her in although the No Dogs sign was kinda big.

Fluffy belongs to Ru's cousin, but we stole her out for a day. Damn adorable and tiny, you can hold her with a hand! We were at AC having late lunch (5pm ok!) so ChinSiew was holding Fluffy while eating fruits at the same time. She was talking about something but surprisingly Ru, bf and I were staring at the dog and the satay-stick ChinSiew was holding hahaha. Then Fluffy started sniffing and going reallllllllll close to the sharp end and all three of us shrieked and ChinSiew just open up her arms (like Fluffy to the left and satay stick to the right). Eh damn scary and funny at the same time ok cuz it's like Fluffy weighs nothing at all.

Then there's this poodle named Puffy who belongs to Chin Siew's friend Nick. We had to wait inside his house for him to pack *grumbles hahaha but ok lah at least there was Puffy to keep us entertained. She's female. And she's damn 7 horny wtf. When she comes near to any of us three girls she'll just randomly lick and sniff our legs and then go elsewhere. But when she go to bf, SHE SNIFFED HIS GROIN AND CLIMBED UP ON HIM AND CONTINUED SNIFFING. HOI! Do this right in front of me la! *cis

Hmm well ok that's all the pics I've got and all of it are about dogs except for the first one. I'm still exhausted although I slept like a log :( Fallen sick all over again, and I've just recovered like last week! :(((

twenty-one

Just a quick and (super cheat) note to say Happy 21st month to my dear boyfriend.

:)

Of feeling young again

Shit, I did rebonding yesterday for my hair and I look like I'm 16 again. Okay I'm not even 19 yet, so technically 16 should be no difference but hell you should see the comparison!

Before & After (well, yeah)

Don't laugh at the horns ok. It was a quick picture cuz I was paranoid that the people in the car beside us would be staring and there were people crossing the road as well wtf. (It was Halloween last weekend remember?!?!?!?!?!?!)

And don't come telling me my hair is straight anyway, cuz I actually spent half an hour kiap-ing my hair WHILE doing my makeup. Sheesh damn ma fan.

My After fringe is flat. I know. But the thing about having flat hair is you can fluff it up when you want to. Like it'll be easier to curl straight hair than to straighten curly hair. Well, unmanageable hair didn't get its name for nothing. You'll never appreciate neat hair until you get unmanageable ones T__T



OH YA.

I'm going to KL tomorroowwww-oww-ooowwwww! Ween was kinda excited about it and asked me what i plan to wear on Saturday night but the thing is it's gonna be a normal chilling thing, no big partayyyyss but I don't know how to tell it to her gently without sounding like a party pooper wtf.

Then I read her blog and HOI! Since when I don't keep to my promise of meeting up! I never ppk one ok! None that I can remember anyway heeee.

Chin Siew & Shian Ru had better not have any plans and dump us behind wtf.

p/s: Found this really sweet story about a 5-year-old girl who died of cancer and left behind little notes for her family. Read it here and here. But I don't know if it's a hoax or not :( In the second link, the comments people left all said it was a hoax but why would the parents try to earn money out of their dead daughter right?

Bored!

Sigh damn stressed up, and I don't even know what for.

Yeah I've got those university stuff bugging me endlessly, and yet I can't do much cuz dad asked me to go to KL, come back, give him a full report, and THEN he'll write me the cheque for my enrollment. So every night before I sleep I felt like something isn't done...



/start rant!
Today I met two really rude kids, about Year 5 I think. Again, the same bad kids aura around them. I got all dizzy while my anger boils up in me, but I was unable to do anything. Whenever an older teacher walk around to check on the students, and scold them for being noisy, they'll just give a face. Then when the teacher turns her back, "Chao cibai de lao shi."

Wtf? Then he went on and on with "lan jiao", "cibai", this and that. I am appalled. I felt so angry and could only tell him to keep quiet, stop his nonsense and do his work. What did I get in return? The same kind of scolding the other teachers received. They were really testing my patience, if they were my kids, heaven knows they'll have a permanent palm-shaped scar on their cheeks already.

They just swear for no apparent reason, and it's as if they're sent to tuition to swear :( You know what I mean? It's like you tell them to do their work but they get all angry, as though you asked them to do something they're not supposed to do!

I'm really happy working, I really am. But there will be a few rotten apples here and there, I know I should not let these few affect me.

Yes, I am working at Kumon, for those of you who are still clueless. At first, apparently just to mark papers but after two weeks I have to start handling a whole table of up to 8 kids at a time. And in the past two weeks, when the English teacher is unavailable I had to fill in her place, which means more stubbornness to bear with! Again, at first, it was at the little English corner but last Saturday I got sent to the classroom omg. Luckily they had CCTVs, so my boss saw how the kids were acting and came to my rescue.

I probably look easy to bully, right? They're not even afraid of me when I make myself look angry. And to think people used to say that my glare/stare is frightening.

I wish I know how a kid's mind work. I'm so willing to learn. :)
/end rant!



Aiyah damn boring lah what's happening to the world. No news no blog updates no nothing sigh.
