Pokemon Go with local community

Recently, I still receive comment on friends and family members asking if there is really any Pokemon Go players? They thought that the game is dying and no much players left. It is not surprising that they had such comments, because they had seen less players on highly occupied place as compare to Pokemon Go firstly launch on August 2016. Some of the players had converted themselves as "spoofers" to enable them playing this game at home without having to walk or to drive to certain places; some had abandoned the game and let their friends to adopt their account; some are seasonal players -  as they do not have much free time during weekdays and could only play on weekends, and some are hardcore players.

We had a few Pokemon Go community day organized by the local community members. We even have our local community t-shirt. The photo below as taken a few months back, but it was all worth it! Pokemon Go had enable me to know a lot more neighborhood members, and to discover a lot more "short-cuts" en-route to certain gym raiding. What's more, was that one of the member even helped me during one of the raid, as my car was down due to worn-out car battery. We are not just playing games together, but also leaning towards to become a huge local family. I guess, that's what other players had missed, if they are "spoofing" or "botting" 

I had played much less now, as I had been occupied with more busy schedule from my work and family matters. However, I am still playing this Pokemon Go whenever I am free. In addition to that, Pokemon Go now had launched new features to have friends around the globe, and enable trading as well!

Along With The Gods: The Two Worlds (2017)

Along With The Gods: The Two Worlds (2017)



This became a rising sensational movie, where it catches the audience attention by becoming the top Malaysia Weekend Box Office for January 18-21, 2018 (TheMalayMailOnline, 2018). Not surprising to me, as I personally felt that Korean dramas, and movies has been keeping up on par, that it might surpass my favor from Hong Kong drama to Korean drama. 



"Along With The gods: The Two Worlds", has one great element within the story, which brought up the value of living as a human-being, and how it affect your afterlife. Each and every stages of the story-line, made me teared-up. Perhaps, my inner-soul do agree with you reap what you sow. One might find it too fantasized, but for me, nothing is beyond impossible, especially for imagination. Hence, be well geared-up, for onion ninjas will be there, cutting tonnes of onions. 



Story of a nobleman died, and how he is being judge in the afterlife, and the dignity that he had lived all these while until the moment of death is challenged by appointed death-prosecutor. For those whose belief rely heavily on karma, this can be quite awakening. Good deeds repaid with good...

Watch how this nobleman go through his 7 trials in the afterlife, along with the appointed grim reaper advocates in the world ruled by Yeomra. There are some humorous element slotted in between the trials which tickles and made the movie plot elevated from sadness to curious, from furious to sympathies, from foe to friend, from sin to forgiveness, and a lot more of such flavor of life being integrated in the movie plot.



Recommended to watch it, as the story-line had been beautifully plotted and acted by the movie cast. It has a plot-twist too... and I am anticipating for it Part II.

PTPTN repayment under budget 2017 discount

PTPTN repayment under budget 2017 discount





You can now withdraw EPF account 2 to repay PTPTN (under education category) and enjoy the incentive given under budget 2017.

It is indeed quite an attractive offer for those (like me) who had yet finished repayment to PTPTN.



Lets look at the SOP for such withdrawal.



Please ensure that you had already register yourself to have an i-Account with EPF. You may want to check at EPF website for more information on acquiring i-Account. Without i-Account, you could not make this PTPTN repayment via EPF withdrawal. The officer from PTPTN kiosk will inquire you to have your i-Account activated first, then to proceed with the EPF withdrawal for PTPTN repayment.



Go to PTPTN website and search for Bajet 2017 icon. Click on it to enter the statement page.

(The english version of PTPTN website is under maintenance at the moment, hence the link given is for Bahasa)

Once you clicked into Bajet 2017, you will be directed to a login page, where you have to key in you Malaysia ID number with the PTPTN loan number. You can refer to you initial offer letter for your loan number. However, if you had lost any trace of your loan number, you might need to call PTPTN at +603-2193 3000 to inquire for your loan number. You may drop by any PTPTN kiosk for a fast statement check with their officer. Do bear in mind that certain PTPTN kiosk might have huge crowds and hence, it is better to give a ring to their careline.

 Login page under Bajet 2017.

Click on pengesahan baki online to retrieve your current account statement.

You will be directed to this page, where you will have to fill in a bank account number, mobile phone, and personal email as an update to PTPTN system.

Then, you will be able to have you updated statement from PTPTN, with the incentive discount included in the final amount. That final amount will be the total that you have to repay PTPTN from your EPF account 2. Therefore, do make sure that you have more in your EPF account for one lump sum repayment.

Once you have the amount covered and comfortable to have the EPF account 2 withdrawal for PTPTN repayment, you may drive to any nearest PTPTN kiosk to initiate the repayment.

PTPTN officer will require your Malaysia ID card for verification, please do remember to bring along your ID card. (And ensure you have had your EPF i-account activated)

Then, PTPTN officer will start to register into EPF system for education withdrawal. The procedure would not take more than 15 minute. PTPTN officer will advice on the amount to repay PTPTN (it might be slightly more, as PTPTN charges admin fees if the account enter their accounting month after 27th each per month). According to PTPTN officer, they will refund the extra within two to three months time into our EPF account.

Lets take a look at your EPF i-Account login, once you had the withdrawal application submitted via any PTPTN kiosk.

When you log into your EPF i-account, you can click into secured message to check on the update from EPF. Then, they will send in a sms notification to your registered mobile phone number, and you are required to being along documents such as your original and photocopied Malaysia ID, original and photocopied transcript, and lastly original and photocopied scroll from the University/Institution that you had registered to loan this PTPTN. You are given about two weeks time to verify the withdrawal at any nearest EPF counter. If you failed to submit these documents for verification with the two weeks duration, you will have to go through the initial registration at PTPTN kiosk again. Hence, please ensure you will be in the country to run this errand.

As for my submission, EPF had received all relevant documents and verified my thumb prints for withdrawal. However, there is still pending update from PTPTN. According to EPF officer, PTPTN tends to be slower in updating their system upon receiving on the amount. Hence, I was advised to make a call to PTPTN officer to inquire about the repayment settlement after five working days of the EPF verification. 

***update: called PTPTN careline, and the customer service had kindly informed that it might take up to 14 days for the payment to be updated in PTPTN system.***

***update: PTPTN officer had released the settlement letter to me via my registered email with PTPTN. The extra payment had also refunded into my local bank account. However, I had yet to check on the CCRIS removal, as it require me to check with Bank Negara Malaysia.

What the heck, PJ parking summon, AGAIN?!

Okie, it was totally my fault that I am in a rush and did not bother to check the time and punch in a parking ticket on yesterday. It was just simply a visit to Atria, for less than 10 minutes, and there you go... I had a love letter from MBPJ, which will cost me RM 100. Well, I reluctantly accepted this love letter, and kept it inside my bag. Thought of to pay it if there is any early settlement discount or so...However, to my disappointment, there is actually none (I mean, no early payment discount mentioned in the summon ticket). Google-ed and checked some forums, and found out that some had mentioned to pay it at MBPJ office will have discount of 70% and to pay RM30. I am not too sure about this, as I have yet to pay my summon (it is still inside my bag, and I did not have the time yet to visit MBPJ office). Since internet and online payment is widely use in modern days, I thought I can pay it by checking it over at MBPJ website and to double confirm on the settlement.



Sigh... to my disappointment again (or should I not be placing any hope; this is still gov agency, right?) the summon has not even been updated yet to MBPJ website. I am trying to be responsible for my wrong doing, in which parking without displaying the parking ticket was indeed wrong; and I am willing to pay the summon. However, look at this kind of system, will you ever felt that you wanted to pay for it, when you could not even check it via online system? To drive over to MBPJ at Jalan Yong Sook Lin at PJ (mind you, we have to find parking again when reached there!) is hectic and cumbersome to most of us. Some of us whom are not local, and we would not want to trouble ourselves to run this errand thinking that we might ended up lost or creating another summon for us. It is still, best to have a proper system for us to pay our fine, and to get this done. Although many had mentioned that local authority summon would not cost us any harm, yet, I know it is my responsibility to pay that frigging fine (which I am indeed wrong at the beginning).



>>Update: The summon had been uploaded by MBPJ to their site, however, after I had paid for it using my credit card since 25th Feb, there is no update on the status of this payment. I had experience a few unfortunate event, in which Ii had to drive to MBPJ office to check on the mentioned summon, and there is nothing much they can do for me, but to pass my case to their IT department instead. Luckily, on of their IT staff is quite friendly and helpful, and willing to check it  out for me on their system. However, nothing much she can do, as she had mentioned to me that there might be slow update from their finance department which had caused the MBPJ summons pending update on payment status.



To check your summon from MBPJ, you might want to visit this link (it might be down, since they need to update summons and etc).

Confused mind

There, time passed but yet with this confused mind.



Should have this memories kept aside, but emerged as dreams to haunt.



Perhaps, that could be perhaps.

Lost my wallet and what to do with it?

Well, it occurred to me that I had lost my wallet without me realizing it, until the very next day when I searched for my wallet to check on my cash.



Might had dropped it near my friend place near Puchong, might had lost it while heading to the car under heavy rain from a Puchong Yong To Fu place... also, I might had misplaced it which I could not recall at all! Called to all the banks to blocked all my debit cards, credit cards, and atm cards (what to do, poor people like me do not have much cash on hands and need cards to survive).



Hence, my friend quickly drove me to a nearby ID registration counter (JPN) to get my ID replaced. Unfortunately, I have to pay RM100 fine for misplacing my ID card and this compound apply to any missing Malaysian ID. I had asked if we were to prove it with a police report, will it be removed? And the answer for it is NO. The compound apply to any type of reasoning. I guess this is the newest terms and condition to ask the public to take care of their ID? I actually also do not want to lost my ID card if were to be given a choice, but what to do?!



Secondly, I called to inquire from JPJ if replacement of lost driving license require to have a police report. The helpline office told me that it is not required, and one will have to show their temporary ID to enable the driving license replacement. However, we have to get a colored passport size photo with white background for JPJ to scan as the new driving license photo. We went to JPJ at PJ state and paid my fine RM20 for card replacement.



 Thirdly, went to bank to have my debit and atm cards replacement. You might not allowed any debit/atm card replacement by bank if you can not provide three supporting documents to the bank.



1. Your temporary ID

2. Your driving license

3. Your passport (or birth certs for those who do not have passport)



You might be able to have your card replacement if you are getting it at your home branch (the branch that you open the account). Home branch is able to identify your supporting documents faster (as not much verification required), hence you can provide them your temporary ID and driving license for card replacement.



The only problem with bank especially local bank is that, you have to wait for more than an hour for such matter. There is one bank that even ran out of atm/debit card for conventional account (non-islamic account).



One good thing about this M*ybank credit card is that once I called to blocked my card, they told me 4-5 working days  to deliver the cards to the branch that I wish to collect them. Amazingly, I only need to wait for 24 hours, and the very next day, M*ybank called me to collect the card at the branch! That's way faster that the so-called C*t*bank which told me their courier will only reach me 4-5 days later and my debit card also will be from normal post which will be 7 days later.



P/S: I read in some forum that if you show police report, you can get the fine waved. I am not too sure about this. you might walk in to a JPN counter and ask for this. Also, I read that one can only report lost of their ID not more than 5 times. After that, you will be given a red ID.
