Shopping is fun! Shopping is tiring but shopping can also be a little embarrassing especially when you forget to bring along a credit card that works instead of one that's declined by the cashier!
Yesterday was an exhausting day for me. We had a lot of shopping to do so we started our day early. I was up and about by 9am, so imagine how shocked my sleep system was at that hour! After a late brunch at a waffle cafe, we shopped around for a new vacuum cleaner. That itself was a big purchase so we lugged the heavy box back to our car first before continuing shopping at Marks & Spencer and my favourite perfume store too.
I've also been meaning to get a new external portable hard drive so a computer store was our next stop. I found one with a 250 GB capacity and after much examining and asking questions, we decided this one was suitable for my storing needs. I didn't have enough cash on me so I happily produced my trusty credit card from my wallet and handed it to the cashier. He came back after a few minutes with the embarrassing message that my card had been declined!
My first thought was that I had missed out paying my minimum amount at least, last month! I've been so distracted lately and there were a few reminder letters from my credit card company. I'm pretty certain I paid all my bills during my last banking round two weeks ago, but did I somehow forget to pay this one?
Mind you I'm not one of those people who need to repair bad credit; I do try my best to make early payment, before their due dates. There's no actual call for credit repair or ways to improve credit ranking when it comes to my financial responsibility, well not yet anyway. But life does get busier than usual sometimes and maybe I did overlook making payment last month.
B came to my rescue and ended up using his credit card to pay for my new gadget, thanks love! It was only later when we stopped for coffee at Starbucks that I realized I had brought along the wrong card! My credit card recently expired and I did receive a renewal last week but in my haste this morning to leave home, I had left the current expired one in my wallet and the new one at home, which caused the decline. Silly me!
We got home late and I was so tired from a whole day of shopping that I fell asleep early and again missed all the Music Monday chopping frenzy to be first commenter! I also have not prepared my American Idol picks yet from last week so my Music Monday post here will appear here a tad later than usual. See you guys in a few hours and I hope everyone enjoyed their Mother's Day weekend!
PS. FC Scoreboard points await my first three commenters, go for it!

Recent blog post: Sketch Book and Rattan Interactive.
yaa, nervous musti ada, walaupun CC tuu tak da masalah. Sebab kadang2 sistem tuu yang ada problem atau mcm kes marzie, sebab tersilap bawa kad. Nervous sebab takut tak lepas nanti embarrass laa sket. :-[
Recent blog post: Sketch Book and Rattan Interactive.
Morning Rizal! I pun ada byk space kat dalam lappy Rizal, but I dunno how to partition my D drive and my C drive!!! Im using vista so the set amount for my D drive is about 10 GB only, then I asked around if anybody knows how to increase that space from C, but semua pun tak tahu pakai vista! Tu yg kena beli toy baru he he! Nak simpan semua DL nanti, senang. :)
Mmg mmg Rizal! Sometimes system buat hal tapi kita lak tahan malu cause card rejeksi huhuhuhuhu! ;)
Oh is it marzie?? My D drive memang they put as 110GB and the rest is on my
C drive. But my D drive tu pun dah nak penuh.. so that's why I need. I also
dunno how to increase the space.
_____
Where did you get your 250Gb? 500GB is 400+? Betul ke I thought you can get 1TB for 400+ now.

Hey Shemah, wah so lucky 1110GB for ur D drive. I have like 320 GB on my lappy but only 10-20 allocated for D drive, rest all at C drive, sayang right but I seriously donno how to increase space for D. Tried edi many things but all tak menjadi, so gave up and bought external drive muahahahha!
Hi Bem2! I beli mine kat one utama, shopping centre lagi so obviously the price is higher than if u buy one from Low Yatt. Of coz kat LY mmg murah, I think LJ’s hubby bought 500GB for 298 if I’m not mistaken. Mine 250GB was 240. 500 GB was 400++. :)
Early for what Bem? Work?
wah besarnye D Drive sebanyak 1110GB
Got no time to be merah padam Bem Bem cause too busy calling out to B from one corner of the room ha ha ha! Lucky he came to my rescue woot!
Poweder blue for me if not lime green Bem2! And u talking abt my vacuum or hard drive ni? LOL!
Hi Feron, u have a great day too, happy Monday!
Wah ada org scream like dat eh Shemah? I oso throw tantrum but so far not cause of credit cards la. Wonder what the cashier said to the platinum lady!
Mesti kelakar see that lady, pity her lol!
Hope u had a blast yesterday Liza, love and hugs for u! :)
I was in a hurry to leave home Foong, totally forgot abt the new card. It’s good to have hubby with credit cards LOL!
Foong! Tensi la u ask me abt this cashout! Of coz I wanna cashout but so angry cause EC haven approved my application, 1 month edi! You? :(:(:(
Good afternoon Elai, still at work?
110 GB ke 1110 GB?!
Hahahah no lah!! 110 GB only!! LOL!
_____
Oohhh yalah.. no wonder. Kalau low yatt of course definitely cheaper, kan?
_____
Tu la kalau 1110 GB gils power ur lappy Shemah! I missed la the chop at NES dearie, baru je nak chop! Takpe get the next one!
The guy just said, I'll check again.. and again that person said tak dapat
go through lah and ask the lady to call the bank. But obviously I think it
was a supplementary platinum because she called her "sayang"! LOL! And no..
I wasn't busy body because she was sooo loud for anyone even a football
field away to hear.
_____
LY of coz murah gils but like I told B, we’re paying extra for the convenience of not having to go all the way to LY, KL! So expected la the price to be a bit higher if buy kat One Uts. :)
Definitely funny!! LOL! Whenever we see someone charging their CC, my mom
will whisper to me, It's a platinum, you know!! LOL!
_____
hahah trust marzie to mempowergilakan your Laptop
but when you were busy calling B got time to merah padam what
Powder green harddrives are the way to go
Early for MM la Marzie hhahaha
Eh YOU la yg cakap 1110 GB BEM BEM!!!!!!
Oh u rmom was there that time yeah? Ha ha so cute!
Muda ke that lady Shemah? Some more supplementary platinum wan to throw tantrum tak bertempat LOL!
One utama pun naik harga camtu ek? If you're in that area Marzie, gi la
Ikano, at least ada All IT hypermart atas tu, next time you want to get
something lah. Prices usually same with their lowyat counterpart :)
No time la Bem, busy looking for other cards to use dat time!
Hahahah I was mimicking u laaaaa hahahaha cuba u check balik
Yeahh.. definitely!! J pun would rather bring me somewhere nearby instead of
going all the way to LY!! J tu.. get him out of Subang pun payah.. Syukurlah
if he's in a good mood and want to bring me to Damansara. LOL!
