Payment CounterJan 5: Great Eastern HQ
Thus comes the time for my annual 'pilgrimage' to this particular office and cough up a chunk of of money to pay for my insurance.
Jan 5 is always the last day of the grace period when my money is due.
After paying my due for more than a decade now, the date is now firmly imprinted on my mind except for the year 2008 when I had totally forgotten about it because I was stressed out over dad who was stricken with stroke.
I dislike going to the banking area because of the jam and difficulty in finding a parking space. Therefore, I was prepared to park at Suria, since parking is free for the first two hours, and walk over.
Fortunately, as I was passing by behind Wisma Merdeka from the direction of the wet market, I saw two men heading to their respective cars. So I had an immediate parking lot which was not the norm.
I cut through Wisma Merdeka and went directly to the GE HQ and settled my bill within 15 minutes. Then, I went to CIMB to settle yet another insurance payment which had been credited to my credit card.
However, I overlook the fact that I could not transfer the amount due because of the ATM card limit and I also did not bring my bank book. Luckily, the due date was Jan 6 so I had the next day to settle it or else I'd unwittingly have to pay the late charges.
As I cut through Wisma Merdeka again, I stopped by my favourite place there - the Takoyaki outlet - and bought four sets of the deliciously hot snack.
Yumz!!! But the bad thing is the price has been increased to RM3 from the usual RM2.80.
Haiz... semuanya naik harga...
