Bank Negara Issues New Notes 22.12.11

Yesterday we went to Sunway Pyramid to catch the movie "The Muppets". NIce enetertining movie but won't rank in my Top 10 list of MUST SEE movies.
 
Last night started packing bags to go back hometown to celebrate Christmas with parents. Morning woke up early but before can start the journey, decided to drop by Bank Negara Malaysia, KL to purchase the new set of 4th Series notes.

Arrived at BNM at 9am, and boy oh boy was the queue super long! Good thing brought wife and dotter along. Met up with Alex, Randy and Adeline too. So, with wife and dotter in tow and after queuing for almost 3 hours, we manage to get a full set each of the new designed notes.

The BNM staff all looked lost and the security staff at BNM behave like a bunch of amatuers in dealing with crowd control. They were not pro-active and despite me forseeing that it will rain and had adviced the securities, they acknowledge what I said was right but did nothing , and only when it started to rain, did teh security implement what I had adviced. Too late though as many of the people were caught in the downpour.

This only proves that BNM is inefficient, has poor customer service yet try to rule with iron fist on the Banking Industry and impose all kinds of rulings. They cannot even manage simple things. KNowing that the crowd will be huge, they only opened 2 counters, I sometimes wonder are those people at the top of BNM stupid or lost touch with reality?

But as the queue was super too long, we decided against buying more sets. We were already late in starting our journey too. By the time we picked Pastor Danial Han and family and started our journey was already 1pm.

Stopped for lunch st R&R Sg Buloh and as the entire journey was raining non stop the entire length of the North South Highway, we only made it to SP at 6pm. Then barely 5 minutes later, off we went to my father's church to watch their Agape Community children Christmas' performance.

Truly superb performance by those young kids. I am amaze at their independence, dedication, skills, and entertainment. Too bad, my HTC is still in hospital, so with my "old" hand held camera, manage to video tape only 2 out of the many splendid performance.

This primary kids even outshine the veterans from KL Wesley.

It's getting late and has been a very long and tiring day. Tomorrow will be another long and exciting day too.

Cheers and Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas!
