Protect your PIN!

Greetings,

ok that sounded like how the aliens would greet the humans. lol.
lo siento (sorry) that i had been on hiatus. You know what, it isn't easy to find the time to actually blog when you do have a blog!

Anyway, too many happenings! But I'd like to only write about Fraudulent. I'm one of those boring people who check their online bank account ALOT, thinking maybe ... MAYBE there'll be some miracle where money will just drop into your bank account from an anonymous sender! ha ha! So, this one time I was so busy moving apartments so didn't have time to get online much, and once I did and logged onto my online banking it said my balance was only 6.49euro. I was so shocked, my pants slid off, and that wasn't possible. Okay, I have two bank accounts, Ulster bank and Bank of Ireland (BOI). When I get paid , all my money will be credited into BOI, and I will personally transfer an amount into my Ulster. Now, 2 weeks earlier I got paid and only left 400euro in BOI; I wouldn't withdraw a big amount once I know I've only left with that amount in that account. Two suspicious transactions showed in my statement from 2 different ATMs! One was 100euro and another 200euro. I made a complaint of course, and went to the police station to give a statement and for them to investigate.

Now, both the police and the customer service agent at BOI asked me how anyone could withdraw this amount without my permission, did I leave my card elsewhere etc. Like HELLO!, are you guys stupid or what, obviously I wouldn't just leave my card lying around for someone to grab the opportunity and steal from me. How would I know how it could happen. I only answered with "I don't know, I have my card with me at all times and will always be kept in my wallet, which is always with me. Maybe there had been some device installed in an ATM that could copy your card details etc." The police nodded and shrugged and replied with "hmm, that could be possible." Like WHAT the hell?! He asked me do I ever cover my pin when I use the ATM, I said "well yeah, with my body not with my hands." And then he went "oh for future reference always cover with your hands." I've learned my lesson(s). I've always thought protecting my pin by covering the keypad was a thing that nerds/old people would do. I mean come on, I didn't expect this to happen to me!! So now after this incident, I don't take money out just anywhere or any ATMs, I would only go to particular ones; or get cash back when purchasing something. Good news is, I got my money back! My bank refunded the full amount, within a week I made the complaint! I was super ecstatic, furthermore cos it was such a quick refund the bank did. Well done BOI! In this case, I will want to continue be your client :)
Alhamdullilah, kalau tidak menangis laaaa I tak dapat my money back!

So folks, remember to cover up your pin at all times! Not everyone is as lucky as I am to be getting back the money, so take it serious! There are prying eyes everywhere!!!

Melodramatic

This is the song that from then until now I am trying to reach the high pitch, yet still unreachable. I would try to be all soprano when i'm in the shower, but nope, not happening!
She sings it so well, her voice is so versatile that she could go either way, high or low.
Lagu ini juga selalu buat I nak get all emotional, don't ask why, just one of those songs.

Enjoy Safura - Sedalam Mana Cintamu



Sekian.
JOm kita nyanyi bersama dan rasa emosi lagu ini.

Add-on extras

When you are having a meal, what are the 'add ons' that you need to have?
Say for example like myself, I need, like ought to have these two items:

a)
(Thai Sweet Chilli Sauce)




b)
(Kicap Manis Cap Kipas Udang "Sweet Soy Sauce")


I do not know why but these are my two essential add ons I need to have with a meal; well that also depends what I'm having. I won't always have these when say, with a ... carbonara pasta or something.

Am I weird?

double decker

no silly, not the infamous red double decker London bus, but the chocolate!
I am way too obsessed with food, especially sweet ones. Bad for my teeth, i know, i know ... but can't help it, need to consume at least a bar of chocolate in a day and some sweets to munch while on the floor. One of my must haves, have got to be 'Double Decker' (see above). I've got sweet teeth, what can I say.

How about you? What is/are your preferences?

MH for Malaysian Hospitality

Good Evening readers (well depending which part of the world you are in at the moment),

At work today, I had a few Malaysian clients at the shop and they all said the same thing, how they liked having a Malaysian Hospitality, like moi, serving them and talking comfortably, asking plenty of questions without feeling weird. Just to have laughs and not act so professional - well that depends also if my manager is around. If she was around, I wouldn't be very open-minded and relaxed when serving clients. Anywhoo, it's great to know thats how they feel when I'm serving them. Thank You yea.

Come again soon!

A continuation ...

Hello fellow readers (if there are still any out there),

I know I've stopped writing for a very long time now; so why start back again now?
Well, I realized that I've just ample of emotions to be expressed. Back when I was younger (yea, younger), I used to love blogging because that was how I let my emotions out. At that time Xanga was popular, and I was a regular blogger. Then at one point, I stopped. Couldn't be bothered anymore. But now, look where I'm at, yes, right back to where I started ... blogging.

I have just too many things going on in life at the moment, some stories I would like to share with you all, that maybe perhaps you could also my happiness and sadness. Hence, is this not the reason we read others' blogs??

I will try to write more and often to keep this chiq of the chiq-ess alive and kicking! But for now, Hasta Luego (Spanish for See You Later)!

<3,
Anabella

1st stage COMPLETED!

My nerves had diminished today. A little at least. My nerves will grow even more when Friday gets nearer. Will update you of what I am waffling about.
At the mo, I need to focus.

TTFN
("tata for now" - Tigger)

Nervous Breakdown

My heart is officially thumping like there is no tomorrow.
I have something big i have to prepare for & that day is getting closer! ... each time I pray, I ask God for His blessings ... I need IT!

Boredom Sábado

Hello, it has been a very long time hasn't it? Perdon, but i just haven't had time to update anything! First of all, as to the title of this post, just for everyones info., Sábado is Saturday in español.

Believe it or not, i have been getting days off on the weekend for quite a number of weeks now, which i rarely get. Obviously, when you work in retail you don't the weekend off, and you constantly have to go to work as you are paid by hours and not salary. What a bummer! Cos if you're sick, then you're sick, you don't get paid for those sick days. A wee bit unfair isn't it? But that is just life, one needs to strive for survival; the fortunates don't have to strive that far, but the unfortunates, unfortunately have to go further for money.

Today, Saturday, has been wasted. Dublin is so tiny that you kinda run out of idea of places to go! You can't shop all the time (well, you could of course), but is that all that can be done here? shop shp shop?! WOW! i'm loving it ... NOT! well, of course i love to shop, but not when i don't have a stable job that i could actually open up a saving account!

I've been so depressed today, the weather, the atmosphere, the people i missssss ... i'm missing even more ... i have no mood to actually go out and enjoy, even to the movies! what is wrong with me?! Probably just one of THOSE days that you get once in a blue moon. Hopefully tomorrow will be a brighter and cheerful day ...

tata everyone! catch soon!

Ciao Bella

I am not going to splurge my words here instead I will put up pictures of my 5 day holidays in Italy. Pisa to Florence to Rome.

I love it there, I want to go there again, my HEART is still in Italy.

There are wayyy too many pix to choose from, but these are enough for now.

Shop Til I Drop

Yes people Yes... that statement is SO true!
I can't stress it anymore. Since I've been back in Malaysia, I haven't actually gone anywhr yet except tagging along my dad. Today finally I took a step forward and went to The Curve and One Utama. It was the most amazing day and I had sucha glorious shopping done.

So many things to get, so little time. Yet, I would always end up with something in my hands; never empty handed returning home.

Only in the car after shopping, I dropped! Then came home, counted the receipts, and OH MA GOSH! almost had a heart attack! It was the post-shopping reaction. I couldn't believe I spent that much. Never in my life have I spend so much money; I reiterate, NEVER.

My head is getting balder now, as I've still 2 more weeks to go and worried that my dinero won't be enough. Don't want to ask extra from Dad :( I wish money would just fall from the sky .. but only from the sky above my house! hahaha...

But all in all, I was happy with my purchases. It was an awesome day. Met Robo!!! That was an extra highlight of my day! We gotta chill sometime soon Bo!

Peace Out.

Busy as a Bee

As obvious as it is, the headline says it all.

We're busy as a bumblebee here at Wyckham Place trying to get everything packed in boxes. Me busy running around Dundrum mall asking for empty boxes. So funny tho, cos i'm going around like some homeless girl with boxes in her hands for shelter??

A bit sad to be leaving Wyckham Place, to be honest. I just think this place is super safe and so 'home' if you know what I mean. I LOVE Dundrum. It's weird how at first when I found out that we were moving to Dundrum, I had this idea of dull, boring and blatant life on the way. But Dundrum totally changed my perspectives! Sure, it's a journey to get to town, but hey who cares, when you're so comfortable where you are. Dundrum isn't as crowded as the city center and it's so peaceful. You don't see 'knackers' wandering around. Wyckham Place is such a convenient place to be at. I reminisce back the reason why my sister and bro-in-law wanted to move here; it was cos of Qystina. Wanted to raise her in a place that's not very cramped and a park so she can run around. But now Qystina is going to be a big sister (kakak), therefore, a bigger house would be a better place. So many memories here at Wyckham. It's such a posh area; it will definitely be missed!

ADIOS WYCKHAM PLACE

Join Venture??

After a looooong conversation (hehe, I’m just exaggerating) on the phone with my girl last night, we’ve decided to make this blog to be OUR blog! Wohoo! =) I think that it would be kinda fun to chip in a lil bit into this blog; sharing some pieces of my mind and thoughts into it.

OMG, it has never crossed my mind to write a blog before this. I am so not into it. Too lazy, I guess…Hmm…maybe…maybe not…I don’t know. Oh well, I’m quite excited about anyway. I’ll just try to give a shot. Who knows, maybe I was born for this. LOL.

But people, please bear in mind that I’m a really bad bad bad writer. Really, I do! Please don’t compare me with my dear Anabella, coz she’s soooo good at these kind of stuffs. She’s more open minded and has great thoughts; unlike me. I’m lil bit timid and shy I guess. Anyway, that won’t stopping me from blogging!

That’s all for a start. I’m off to bed now. Please come and read our blog again. Do leave us some comments if you don’t mind.

p/s: Sorry guys. I don’t have any catchy line or any “BIENVENIDO” or any “MUNDO” for you guys. Hehehe.

Sleepy one,
Syafiq

Blogger at Training

Hello fellow readers,

WELCOME!

Yes, am a newbie at blogspot. Do be patient when inconvenience circumstances occur.

I used to blog long before with xanga and now it's time to change to blogspot.

It has been years since I last blogged.

One thing I have to remember before submitting an entry, is to make sure to copy everything (in case after clicking on submit, an error occurs); then a whole new entry has to be done all over again. As obvious as it is, it's a pain in the bottom!

I can assure you, this page will keep you interested and you will want to come back =p. Kinda cheesy, but hey I HAD to have a catchy line! I will entertain you via peektures and stories that will make you ponder far.

Together, lets enhance our imagination and our enthusiast selves.

Once again, BIENVENIDO to anabella's mundo (that's 'world' in Spanish of course). Shouldn't have give out the definition; It'd be fun for you to wonder and google yourself. Well, since this is my first blog and it is YOUR first visit here, I thought I'd cut you some slack and help you this first time round.

Do come again and don't be shy to leave comments =)

Thanking you in advance.

<3,

ms. anabella
