About “Other Amounts” and “$1000″

Yes, the magnificent nimble fingered, cocked eyed wonder ATM user has done it again.

As it is with most law abiding, government cussing and silently complaining stinkapolians, I too have an account with the Piece Of Shit Bank (POSBank). And for users of their ATMs would know that when the option for “Withdrawl” amount pops up, the choice of withdrawing “$1000″ and “Other amount” is strategically placed so that the corresponding buttons are just lingering close to each other.

So by virtue of vincinity lighting, height of user, position of ATMs and distraction of people in the queue, you’d have to punch in a selection of the amount you want.  I always wanted $90 for a good mix of denomination of $10 and a single $50.

So blimey this morning, in a state of blur, confusion, fatique and Monday blues, my index finger strayed towards the de-marked area of “Other Amount” and it went “BEEP!”….. ok, so there i stood waiting for the next expected menu to key in the desired amount. Then I heard the familiar whirring of the machine followed by the flipping noise of banknotes and suddenly, I was awoken from my semi-slumber state. The ATM was dispensing a full $1000 in $50notes.

For the record, this is the 2nd time it happened to me, the previous time it happend when I was in the army, intending only to withdraw $20 but lugged a fat wallet with $1000 back to camp.

Oh yes, THe Non Native smiler also did the same thing the previous night. I’m not alone. Muahahahaha.

Wise ass quotes by me….. I think

“He who laughs last didn’t get the joke….. get it?”

“If at first you don’t succeed, destroy all the evidence that you left behind.”

“It takes only 3 muscles to smile and 17 to frown, maybe thats why fat people should frown more often to exercise more muscles at the same time”

“God gave men 2 heads but only enough blood to power one at a time, which is probably why 99.9% of footballers chose to protect what they think is the more important one when forming part of a wall to defend a freekick”

“Never under estimate the intensity of stupidity of people in large groups”

“Never over estimate the intensity of inspiration while forching shit out of your ass….. many go to the loo to shit and stink, I go there to do more!! I Sit, shit, stink and think at the same time!! Where else can you really find a place private enough to be half naked and having the calmness and concentration to think about anything? Like thinking of an environmentally friendly way to use toilet paper” —-> Use both sides, save more trees

I did THINK about it….. thats all

Can? Can! Can.

Can you tell the difference between the three cans?

Can you sport the similiarities?

Can you distinguish their unique traits?

Can anyone tell me why is can a can?

Can it be such a coincidnce that “can” is also a description of a container of a beverage?

Can anyone tell me why?

Can you?

Can.

Can!

Can?

 

Why does leg day come so quickly???

Sigh….

Its a few hours after a BBQ at Normanton park.
Leg work again. I’ve not been disciplined with my workout and diet regime in the last 3 months or so. Poundages are still maintained but I’m finding it more and more reluctant to “initiate” a workout.

Its ok when I’ve begun, the body just carries on with the workout. Last leg day was a fruitful one, with new PB this year.

Tonight, I’m going to see if I can do the same poundage as last week…… Wish me luck.

Scooby would be thinking “There goes that crazy dude again, moving  those pieces of metallic objects up and down”

When?

When I am tired in the morning, I must get up.

When I am awake at night, I must go to sleep.

When I’m in a hurry, I will kena all the red lights on any road I drive

When I’ve got plenty of time, all the lights will be green when I drive under the speed limit.

When I wanted to blog this post, I had a lot of ideas.

When I began, I realised this is all I have to write…….

Why?

Why can some people that ask simple questions earn millions in days?

Why does someone I know that also ask questions just irritates the rest of us?

Why is it that the supposed secretive and private individuals are the most attention seeking?

Why are the pennywise and pounds foolish allowed to handle huge sums of money?

Why do we allow sour pus faced people to be in the frontline dealing with customers?

Why ah?

我是一个新加坡人

在70和80 年代，爸爸一个人奋斗，能自己养活一家四口，现在几乎是一个不可能的现象。

爸妈从小跟我取了个英文名字，以免长大后自己乱挑一个。很感谢他们。

我记得念小学时，全班会蹲下在水沟旁，老师会教我们怎么样刷牙。

小学和中学的老师们都会用藤条打我们，可是我们的家长都不会投诉，反而称赞。

现在的家长都会愤怒的投诉和责怪教育部和学府。 我还记得生活在一个没有传呼机和手提电话的世界里。

现在的小孩忙这上补习班，特别课外活动，失去了不少的童真。邻国的孩子们还有机会抓蟋蟀和蜘蛛。

爸爸每天六点钟之前一定能回到家。现在的工作人士有机会这样早回家吗？

为了三餐，大部分的勒令人士没办法只要在臭寻寻的垃圾堆里搜寻旧报纸，空纸皮，和空汽水关。

比较幸福的勒令人士会在快餐店里打工，通常上司是一个比他们年轻至少45岁的 ‘经理’

以前有好多停车场都不需要收停车费，现在连植物园都要收费。

最便宜的巴士和地铁服务车资价格一直连连上长，可是政府说我们是可以应付的。

虽然我‘O’ 水族的华文考到了 B3，如果没有特别电脑软件，我是不可能把这一段话好好的写出来的。

我的名字是罗维铭

I am part of the last generation of kids that lived in a world without pagers and mobile phone.

I learnt to brush my teeth properly squatting next to a drain in primary school.

My grandparents and parents taught me the value of saving. I don’t wish to own a credit card even when they give it to me for free.

I served 2 and a half years of National Slavery… i mean Service just before they cut it down to 2 years.

My dad paid for my studies in Australia because I was deemed too lousy for a local university.

I paid for my own $2000 car in Australia that has jump started many flashy sports cars bought with “daddy’s money”

I firmly believe that the MDA TV/Radio licence is BULLSHIT, along with many other policies,

I’m now in the process of informing all the various departments of things I don’t have and laws that I’m not breaking.

I wonder how many people in my generation will live in a life of debt.

I strongly believe that working at Macdonalds or clearing up clogged toilet bowls are NOT the jobs for 70year old “retirees”

I buy my supplements and medicine from other countries because they cost 1/2 the price compared to pharmacies here.

My bosses hired me not because of my qualification but because of what they KNOW I can contribute to their company.

I proudly work for Malaysian bosses, gladly contributing to their 7figure turnover with only 5 staff in the office.

I get rewarded with incentives regularly without scheming tactics like “variable bonus”

I don’t slog in a 9-5 job pushing papers anymore

My nickname SIM37 is my real name LEWIS upside down.

My real name is Lewis Loh and I am a Singaporean…. So Say we all.

I miss perth.
