MWT: The RM 1 Story

A wise man once said "Strange indeed the ways of the man, stranger indeed the ways of the woman".

The whole of last week, my mind was tying itself into knots trying to decide between a MacBook or a non-Apple laptop. I needed one, that's for sure. Should I pay an arm for a Dell or an arm + a leg + an eye + a nose + 5 teeth for a MacBook? I told Gy, we just go and see see how a MacBook is like. No obligations wan. See only.

Alex, the Apple fella said:"For MacBook, got three types only. 1. White with no DVD burner. 2. White with a DVD burner and 120GB. 3. Black, same as No (2), but 160 GB."

Half a heartbeat later, "Ok, I'll get the No (2), please" I said, and took out my butcher knife - ready to chop an arm + a leg + an eye + a nose + 5 teeth off. Gy was incredulous. "I thought see see only." Her sarcasm corroded my other arm off. Under her breath she grumbled,"The easiest water fish to sell to. Every salesman's dream customer. Mumble mumble. Mumble mumble."

Furiously bleeding from my numerous wounds, I ignored her. So yes, I skipped all the way home, dripping copious amounts of blood, but with my MacBook by my side, I... feel good *Tah nah nah nah nah* I knew that I would *Tah nah nah nah nah*.

The next day in MidValley, we were going to catch Hairspray, but between us, we only had a measly RM 20! Options: 1. Don't watch. 2. Have lunch. 3. Get some cash. *Sigh* Decisions, decisions!

I was all excited about seeing John Travolta as a revolting woman, so I quickly voted for No (3). Now the cineplex is at the top floor, and we know that there are ATM machines on the Ground Floor, Centre Court, between MPH and Coffee Bean. I hurried Gy along downstairs, nimbly prancing about to weave our way through the human traffic (we all know what MidValley is like on a Sunday!).

Two ATM machines: Maybank and RHB. Gy huffed,"So you got Maybank right?" "Er, yeah... but no money inside la." *Ashamed chuckle* "You got MEPS right?" Gy prodded as a trickle of sweat trailed down her cheek. "We check directory, ok?" I dragged her to a directory to find that there are more ATMs next to Carrefour, just beside Jusco on the Lower Ground Floor. It's basically the other end of the complex.

Another bout of jogging and dodging ensued. Voila! "See, got CIMB! Yay!" I gleefully celebrated. So I got the money, and we worked our way upstairs to the other end of the building back to the cineplex, and I lined up for the tickets.

Gy was simmering,"Yesterday, you brutally chopped off your appendages without a second's thought. Today, we went traipsing all around MidValley because you do not want to spend RM 1 to use the MEPS instead. You are very strange!"

To which I replied,"Strange indeed the ways of the man, stranger indeed the ways of the woman". Before she could say anything:"Shush, the movie starting already la."
