Money’s not good enough for myNews Bangsar

Posted by on October 30, 2009  |  2 Comments

I work somewhere nearby the Bangsar LRT and usually eat around that area. I needed to withdraw money so I took the escalator upstairs with a colleague to the Bangsar LRT because there’s a Maybank ATM. I owed her some money so I need to break my RM50s I just withdrew.

So around 3.30pm, I went to the myNews kiosk to buy something to break the note. The cashier was a male of mixed descent who was holding a bunch of notes in his hand. I’m not too sure but maybe he was sorting money in the till.

I picked a roll of mentos berry and gave to the cashier. He punched it in and it came up to RM1.50 and I took out my RM50. He looked and the note and made an annoyed face, clearly displeased with the amount of the note. I said “I need the change” and he said “Satu lima” with the same displeased face and refused to even take my note.

I was disgusted and appalled by his behaviour so I said “tak apa!” and my colleauge and I instantly walked out of the shop. So I walked to the 7-Eleven located downstairs.

I bought a Mentos Berry & Twister Apple which totaled up to RM 3.20 and gave my RM50 note & 20 cents to the cashier. It was also a male cashier. He didn’t have sufficient amount in the till to give me my change so he reached under the counter and took out a new roll of RM10s and gave me my change.

I came back into the office and tweet-ed about it and surprisingly, two of my twitter friends had the same experience. (click to see the direct tweets)

Apparently the service in myNews Bangsar LRT is lousy and I doubt I would be going there again.

Edit : I have sent an email to the email address located on their site to complain about this matter. We’ll see the response

Rumour : Beyonce’s concert in Malaysia cancelled? (Update: Postponed!)

Posted by on October 19, 2009  |  5 Comments

There’s rumours going around in Twitter that Beyonce’s Malaysian concert on October 25th, 2009 might be cancelled. She cancelled her planned concert in 2007 following protest threats by Malaysia’s opposition Islamic party (source).

Most people heard it from someone (an unidentified source, of course) that the Maxis Marketing Manager said it might be cancelled and most likely to be announced tomorrow.

Also, on her site http://www.beyonceonline.com/my/events there’s no event listing of her Malaysian concert. Hurm..

Lets see what happens tomorrow.

Kisah Oh! Artis dan Oh! Islam

Posted by on October 13, 2009  |  21 Comments

Semalam terbaca kat twitter yang Oh!Media Network – team/pemilik disebalik Oh! Artis, Oh! Cun, Oh! Tweet, Oh! Tidak & Scukz – membangunkan satu lagi website. Siapa yg tak kenal dengan website Oh! Artis yg penuh dengan gossip2 artis berserta gambar-gambar yang didapati dari pelbagai sources demi mengkukuhkan lagi gossip2 tersebut.

Kini muncul pula website bertajuk Oh! Islam yang menurut page ‘Kami’ = “Allah SWT telah menggerakkan hati kami untuk membangunkan web berunsur ilmiah seperti ini….Semoga kewujudan website ini memberi manfaat dan syafaat kepada semua yang membacanya.”

Tapi, timbul satu persoalan yang telah ditanya kepada Khai, pemilik di sebalik Oh! Tweet melalui twitter. Sila tekan “Click to show spoiler” utk membaca perbincangan tersebut.

Click here to show spoiler

Tak lama lepas tu, Khai pon menge-tweet yg dia telah menulis satu post utk menerangkan jawapan kepada persoalan kami dalam blognya – “Bermulanya satu anjakkan paradigma Oh Islam

Summary: Khai menerangkan bahawa dia telah mendapat “nur” utk bangunkan Oh!Islam dan terdapat dua sebab kenapa Oh! Artis (OA) tak ditutup:

1. Team disebalik OA, hosting yg disponsor & client pengiklanan yg ramai

2. OA di katakan web gossip yg tak berunsurkan fitnah kerana artikel OA berkualiti + ada gambar sbb bukti.

Khai juga berkata bahawa article OA akan lebih berisi dan istiqamah & tiada lagi gambar artis berbikini.

So, apa pendapat awak?

Komen: Sebenarnya, rasa agak dissapointed dengan komen2 pembaca Khai di mana soalan yang simple, curious dan honest dikatakan “menjatuhkan”, “kondem tapi tak pandai buat”, “susah nak tgk melayu tak dengki melayu”.

Khai sendiri pon tak cakap mcm tu, malah memberi explaination dengan baik dan clear dan aku accept je penerangan dia.

Yang ko org plak, sibuk cakap memacam. lol! kelakar la weh!
