its getting cold now

its getting cold now here..and to make things worst, the wind is blowing stronger..
work is progressing slowly at the moment.
i receive my appointment letter yesterday, which mean i will not be getting my salary in malaysia starting next months...also mean that i am official an expatriate..a word i learnt 7 yrs ago.
i have open my local account number already, as mentioned before its a still developing country and almost everything is a new thing here...they have never seen badminton shuttlecock before.
back to the story, banking system here can be considered at its very early stage. when one opens an account with a bank, you can only save or withdraw money from the branch you open your account. your money is kept there and is not going anywhere...there's no account passbook to keep your transaction..what you have is your account number. ans that is important!!!
you get charged for keeping money and withdrawing money..
there's no ATM machine available and credit card is only in your dreams.
that is just how they do it here, people still prefer to keep their money in piggy bank..
there's no such things as unit trust nor dividen.
got work to do tomorrow...need sleep.. BlogBooster-The most productive way for mobile blogging. BlogBooster is a multi-service blog editor for iPhone, Android, WebOs and your desktop
