Misadventure at the Money Changer

As you all might know, I'm heading to India for a robotics competition called ROBOCON. Therefore, I needed go and change Indian Rupee for my trip. This is how the story goes:-




A couple of friends and I was going around the money changers near Jln Bunga Raya and there were a few of them so we went about them and seek the lowest rate. When we finally found one, we all change the money individually. I had to change for two of my friends also but something had gone horribly wrong. One of my friend gave me RM1800 and the other one gave me RM300 and for myself, I wanted to change RM300. For some reason, I thought I had to change RM1600+300+300. Maybe it was because of my other friends who had also changed RM1600. And so, I told the money changer I needed to change for RM2200 but the actual amount that I gave the money changer was in fact RM2400 and the money changer changed for me the amount of Indian Rupee equivalent to RM2200.




When I finally went to give my friend his Indian Rupee, I realize that I had a short of RM200. I was devastated. My friend said I should go back to ask for it and so today I went back to the Money Changer and told him what had happen. To my surprise, the money changer said he had an extra RM200 when he closed his account yesterday. He gave me back the money in Indian Rupee. I was so relief and happy. I did not believed my ears when I heard what he said. I thought he would have said that he could not have check yesterday money or maybe he would have told me to check my money before I had left. He is such an honest businessman.




That concludes my misadventure at the money changer. Thank you for reading.

The Picture

It's been so long since my last post and I'm so thankful for those who visits here even though I didn't update my blog. As I said before, I don't have an internet connection at home so it's not so convenient for me to blog. I'm using someone else's PC right now so I don't have my pictures with me. Therefore, I thought I'll just put up a text post and I'm gonna talk about my blog's picture. It's the biggest one you can find here so you won't miss it ^_^.




The picture is suppose to represent what this blog is all about and this blog is all about me. If you didn't know, I'm in the picture and I'm the only one with colour. The picture was from a Sabah trip a few years back. The other people in the picture are actually my friends that went with me.




So, how does the picture represents me? By the way, I photoshop-ed the picture myself. There's two main reason why I made the background black and white. First, the bright colour of myself will show that this blog is mainly about me. Second, the black and white background shows the way I feel about the world around me - confusing, unknown, still a lot yet to be discovered and I mostly certainly will not discover it all.




But most importantly is not really the reasons. It is the feeling you get from me when you just look at the picture. Anyway, I'm just blabbering I guess. Thanks for reading. Really appreciate it. Drop a shout out by the way.
