>> 21st December 2006, Thursday

Went to Eunos Pri Sch to return the little girl's wallet which i found last fri.
When i stepped into EPS, i find the place familiar even though it was my 1st visit since its renovation. Oh... "I Not Stupid Too" took a few shots here, tt's why i find here look familiar ;p
Always tot tt the design of Jerry's pri sch in the show was quite unique, but i never tot tt it was my alma mater.

Met my mama to go Parkway after that. We had our lunch @ Jack's Place. Even though we ordered for medium-cooked beef, i still find the beef a bit too bloody. And true enough my mama and i had stomachache when we got home. Perhaps it was becoz both our stomach were already not feeling well in the morning.

My kor kor finally got back his voice... haha!!! He even sang Karaoke. But this also means he can argue with my papa. I guess arguments had become their way of communication le... It had been quite peaceful the last few weeks when my kor kor lost his voice, wahaha!!!

Went to meet Kev @ Eunos MRT Stn in the evening. I was early and have nothing to do. So I went to the "Add Value Machine" to see the my travelling info in the EZlink card. This is something i always do when i am waiting for ppl @ the MRT stn.
Something caught my eyes... $1.33 was deducted from my EZlink bal on 20th Dec 2006, 18:22, for taking bus svc number 63... This is weird...
Taking Bus 63 to my hse from Eunos MRT or vice versa only cost $0.87, unless i took Bus 63 to city hall or tiong bahru area from my hse... I took my card away from the machine, and i sat down and tot thru what i was doing the day before.

Eh... I had not taken Bus 63 the day before! Something is really wrong. I went back to the machine and double checked. It confirmed my doubts. It was an incorrect deduction.
Kev came and we went to the ticket office. The officer issue a receipt for refund, and ask me to come back one week later for the refund. Kev finds the incident ridiculous too. I hope that they would gimme an explanation when i go back to get my refund.

It was not the $1.33 that really matters...
It was not as if the machine make a wrong deduction or i had forgotten to tap my EZlink card when i alight the bus.
It was the fact that my EZlink card balance can be deducted even though i did not take the bus. Or rather, when I was not even @ the bus stop waiting for tt bus!
This mistake is kinda ridiculous... and a bit scary... I wonder if this is the 1st mistake... Or have I been always paying for services that i have not used?

Hardly anyone will go to the "Add Value Machine" to check their EZlink card bal details everyday. I happened to find out about the mistake coz i was checking them out of boredom. Who have time for boredom everyday???
They can't expect me to be working like a machine, calculating and recording my EZlink card deductions and balances, do they? I think i have other better things to do.

Anyway, we went to have dinner @ Eunos Hawker Centre after tt.
Another tiring day for Kev. I guess Visual Basic is really too tough for people like us with no programming background and insufficient finance knowledge.
