Legitimate Side Income?

Venue: Technology Park Malaysia. I stopped my car nearby the hut which sells car park coupons at the rate of RM 3 per day. There is a car park right across the road of where APIIT is. I thought it would be much more convenient if I can park my car there (read: lazy to walk). However, I kinda shrug it off my mind when I saw a sign erected stating it is for Monthly parking. Then the attendant came to the side of my car and asked.

Attendant: "You mau pigi APIIT kar? Mau park sini?"

Me: "Yah. Sini boleh ar? Tapi sini bukan Monthly parking punya kar?"

Attendant: "Sini memang monthly punya. Tapi kalau sekejap, kita orang boleh cover punya. Okay you park yang takda nombor punya"

So I handed him RM 3 but he didn't hand me the coupon. Actually I had even forgotten about it. Later when I settled my stuff, I went to take my car at the car park. I realised I had forgotten to scratch the parking coupon and place it on above the dashboard. But then, I realised that I didn't receive one to begin with.

So there was no receipt or ticket or coupon issued to me. And the attendant was pocketing RM 3 from allowing cars to park temporarily at the monthly parking area. On a rough count, this side income of his can possibly be more than his salary.

Resurrection

Maybe it is time to post some updates. It has been a while since I last updated this blog. Actually I have moved this blog to another location which somewhat limited my audience as I intended it to be so. However, I have been thinking to give continue this blog after neglecting it for some time. Probably I will simultaneously maintain both blogs and either one will serve like a mirror site.

Due to lack of inspiration, procrastination and the lack of venting materials; I have not been posting as many updates as I used to. Well, to me, that may be a good thing afterall. As I realised how it is, most often than not, the contents of my blog have been mostly on work ventings. So it turns out, I have been having a quiet and slow life of late, which I appreciate the change of pace.

This coming next month, I will be taking on my new job which entails oversea trips again. Thankfully this time round, it is not going to be Middle East for the foreseeable future. I will be travelling to Beijing and we shall see how it turns out.
