Malam Minggu Lalu

Ini cerita basi tapi sebab nak cerita jugak ketidakpuashatian aku tu, aku cerita la jugak eh.

Malam minggu lalu akibat terasa mahu merayau, aku dan seseorang (siapa lagi la wei) pergi melepak di Dataran Merdeka. Kalau kau orang KL/Selangor, korang mesti tau tempat tu memang jadi port orang melepak pada waktu tengah malam kan. Walaupun takde ape sangat nak tengok, kecuali golongan lelaki Melayu yang bajet Ah Beng dengan speaker tak mahu kalah serta encik mat dan cik puan minah rempit yang berkeliaran, orang ramai termasuk mereka yang sudah berkeluarga serta monyet (sumpah ada orang bawak monyet!) memang suka lepak kat Dataran Merdeka menghirup udara yang tak berapa nak segar. Kami pun join dua kaki memandangkan dah lama tak melepak di tengah2 kota metropolitan nih (ayat takleh blah sila abaikan). Seronok eh duduk melepak sambil makan Mamee Monster, bercerita tentang kisah semalam. Huhu. Lepas tu aku nampak tourists lalu kat depan dataran sambil snap2 photo; tersengih-sengih mereka tengok kereta yang macam-macam jenis kat tengah bandar camni. Tu lah awak, percaya sangat kitorang ni duduk atas pokok! Kan dah kene tipu dengan iklan merapu tu semua!

Ini Falkor

Ok, situasinya begini. Jalan ke arah Dataran Merdeka telah ditutup tetapi memang banyak gila kereta yang parking bersepah kat Dataran Merdeka. Masuk dari mana, itu kena pandai2 idup la! Rempit pun ramai jugak. Ehh, yang nak jual MLM pun ada! Siap isi2 borang atas bonet kete! Perghh.. Gigih betul mencari downline di tengah malam buta!

Tetibe sedang aku sakit kepala tengok kereta encik-yang-perasan-Ah-Beng yang bukak lagu dangdut, ok tipu, lagu genre-yang-aku-taktau-tapi-selalu-leh-dengar-kat-bar-kot, ada pak polisi datang menghalau kami. Menggunakan hailer dari dalam jip, pak polisi tu mintak kami semua bersurai. Ok, memang takde hal.

Ini Falkor dan kereta kawan ah-beng-wannabe

TAPI TETIBE dia cakap “Apa yang seronok sangat melepak kat sini?”, “Ada tengok bangsa lain melepak kat sini?” Ok, ini sedikit melampau. Kalau nak mintak kami bersurai, cakap je “Sila bersurai”. Tak perlu provoke lebih2. In fact, ada kami memberontak masa pak polisi suruh bersurai?? Memang semua masuk kereta dan bergerak. Katakanlah ada sekumpulan samseng di antara kami yang ramai2 kat dataran ni, darah muda pulak tu, ada kemungkinan mereka serang je jip pak polisi tu kan?

Anyway, kenapa kerajaan tak nampak potensi Dataran Merdeka tu jadi tourist spot at night? Although I don’t like kereta Ah Beng, I think they ought to be given some highlights. Boleh buat weekly event kat situ. Daripada diorang pergi somewhere else where they serve boost and drugs, wouldn’t it be safer in the streets under the supervision of some authority? Tourist pun excited tengok something different about KL nightlife. Hey even families lepak kat situ!

And by the way pak polisi, there weren’t just Malays (if that’s what you were implying), there were Indians too. Ada satu bangsa je kat Malaysia ni, BANGSA MALAYSIA. Buat baik ke, jahat ke, semua pun kami sepakat ok! MUAHAHAHA!!

Cekap la wei!

You know how many of us are very skeptical when it comes to government service? I’m one of those people too. For the most part, I hate the fact that most government websites do not load properly on browsers OTHER THAN Internet Explorer. It’s time these government offices sack their current webmaster and hire someone who knows how to tweak the website to support all browsers.

Oh, that’s not the point of this entry.

The thing is, my road tax will be expiring this weekend. I know we can renew it at the post office but I’m just too lazy to 1) prepare the documents to be brought to the post office and 2) find the nearest post office to my working place. Okay fine, no 1 is an exaggeration. Padahal the ONLY document I need to bring with me is the car registration card. LOL!

Ahh well, the kesimpulan is I’M JUST LAZY okay? So I opted for the online road tax renewal via MyEG Services website. Perfect for the lazy bums! It only requires some basic information like your name, NRIC, delivery method, address, car registration no and renewal period. No need to upload anything, no lengthy details and you just need to log on to your online banking account for payment transactions. Totally hassle free!

Summary of transaction:
Road tax renewal fee – RM 45.00 (6 months)
e-Service charge – RM 2.75
Delivery charge – RM6.00

Worthy? YES! What’s RM6 on delivery charge compared to my travel cost to the post office and lunch time used to run the errand!

Now that I have submitted my road tax renewal via MyEG, it’s time to sit and wait for the delivery lah kan? How long do you think it will take for the road tax to be delivered to my home? 1 day? 2 days? 3 days?

None of the above. It only took them 6 hours to process and deliver it! Yes, you read it correctly. I went online in the morning around 9 am, received a call from an officer at 12 noon, and my sister acknowledged the receipt at 2.30pm.

Damn cekap la wei. Seriously, I did not expect things to be fast at all. In fact, that was one of the reasons why I submitted the renewal 4 days earlier than the expiring date. I must admit, I am caught off guard by MyEG Services. Keep it up guys! You’re doing great. You might as well take over all the other government sites. LOL!

* Thinking about replacing my MyKad via the portal too.. Hehe..
