Last Friday was a nice day. I got my Google Adsense details for withdrawal of the Adsense payment via Western Union. I gave my trust the the post office in KLCC. After waiting in queue for like more than half an hour, I was told that their system was ‘Off line’?? Alamak. What lah.

I tried CIMB bank an lo and behold! They even have a special booth/counter for money changing and Western Union stuff. I did it in less than 15 minutes. With cash in hand, I was looking forward to the weekend since I have a visitor at home whom I have promised to bring shopping. And shopping we did!
