How I celebrated Mother's Day

It's Sunday today. I never follow my Dad for the usual Sunday lunch as I have my to-do list for today. I've celebrated Mother's Day with my Mom in advanced yesterday, so I am free for this whole afternoon. First of all, I need to go to KL for shopping!! It's been so many weekends I didn't do it. Gee...how I miss going for shopping without anyone rushingor disturbing me. You know, impatient bfs are always the problem when comes to shopping. LOL.

Guess what? I went to Lot Ten MNG, tried on two pieces of clothings, then decided not to buy it there coz maybe there would be more stocks in the Midvalley branch. So I went to reserve the items in Lot Ten first just in case they were sold out. I always do that. So I am pretty good at buying from the best store that has the best stocks.

Before I head to Midvalley, I would have to go to a bank in KLCC to collect my replacement credit card. You know, that bank is so stupid! Why stupid? Because they hire stupid people lor.

The story goes like this: Few months ago, I found out that my credit card PIN has been tampered. So I call their customer serivce, asking them what should I do. The customer service officer gladly told me that I can actually go to any of their branches to surrender my old card and apply for a new card. So, I did as what I was told. I went to KLCC branch (for convinient purposes, as they opens during weekends also). I surrendered my card, signed as statement saying that I needed a new replacement card. OK. Fine. I was told to wait for two to three weeks of processing.

I went home, and as days went by, already about a month of waiting, I called them up. I asking them is my new card ready for collection? They said no, no such record in their database saying that I've applied for new card. OK. Fine. I requested for a new card again this time, and again waited for another month, which is te current month of May.

Finally, I went to collect the card today. I was greeted by a "not-so-friendly" officer. I can say that his face is quite "black" when I first saw him. OK. Nevermind. I gave him my IC everything and he came back with my new card. The card looks so new and shiny. At first I was delighted. Then he asked me to sign all the necessary documents including the back of my card. Once I signed, I turn the card over and saw that it was the same credit card number as my old card. WTF!

At the first place, WHY I need a new card with the same number? I asked for a replacement card with a new number OK. I've already waited a few months to get this card and now I saw that it was wrongly processed.

I got mad and told the officer that this is a wrong card. He took more time calling their HQ. He came back to me asking me to pick up the phone because the HQ wants to speak to me.

I picked up the phone, a HQ officer greeted me with a friendly tone. I felt much better. My anger has subsided at this moment. She asked for verification details such as date of birth, place of birth and mother's maiden name. She promptly apologize to me and said that she will get me a new card with a DIFFERENT number and she will also expedite the processing time for me from 14 days to 3 days! Wow!! Now I know the power of angry customers. Hahaha!

That "black face" guy's face turned even blacker. Haha. I know he is mad at me anyway. Too bad, he is the one who serves me today.

I went for lunch so late, it's almost 3.30pm OK! Somemore cannot collect my credit card. I went for Dim Sum at Thai Thong Restaurant at the top floor.

As usual, I will order my all time favourite "mini lotus paste pau". It is forver so good. I like its mini size, as well as the smooth texture of lotues paste in it.

Some other dim sum I had:

All of them are good. I finished lunch at 4.30pm. Ha. Almost time for dinner for some old grandma!

Jin aasked me to dinner with his mom. Oh...I was too nervous to agree. As you know, it's not easy to eat with your bf's mom.

I grabbed a loose outfit at MNG Midvalley and changed on the spot just because the dress that I was wearing makes me look fat. LOL.

When we arrived at his house, his newly adopted dog, Max greeted me with his cute looks. It seems that he behaved himself in front of strangers but will be biting whatever gets into his mouth when there are no strangers around. Dog also know how to "jaga maruah" in front of other people. So cute!

We went to a Bak Kut Teh store in Puchong for dinner. Not very amazing. So no posting of pictures here.

Tomorrow seems to be the GDS rollout for me. So I gotta catch some sleep.
