GTG Learning Weblog-Wither Thee?

I had been trying to read this blog for almost two days now but it no longer existed.

So,I emailed Eliz the blog administrator of GTG Learning Centre and she told me that the blog has been discontinued as they could not find spare time to actively contribute to it.

A sad ending for a blog that started ambitiously and had to fall by the way-side because of "work pressure", to put it politely.

My first experience at terminating credit cards.

This afternoon, I went to the Public Bank nearby and got rid of my 2 platinum cards. The Customer Relations Officer filled a form and I signed it. She then cut off the corners of both my cards.

Why, terminate the cards,you may ask?

The short answer-it continues to charge me annual fees. And it is not cheap, mind you. RM333 per annum per card, to be exact.

When other banks can give you a waiver on their annual fees for the cards they issue such as CIMB and EON, I cannot see why a great bank such as PBB need to reconsider the waiver when a customer requests one.

So,as you can see,PBB is very efficient in terms of retail processes but they can surely backpedal on matters that brings in the money such as fee income!

Brilliant!

I watched this movie with awe. What fabulous acting from Merle Streep,Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams. A simple story with about the best dialogue I have heard in a long, long time.

It tells of a story of Sister Aloysius, an overtly conservative and disciplinarian nun who serve as a principal of a school in the Bronx who suspected Father Flynn, the county priest of untoward behaviour towards an Afro-African student serving as an altar boy in his church. It highlights the issue of doubt and of human failings as we grapple with suspicion and our values.

The last part where the priest succumbed to the pressure to ask for a transfer and the principal in tears because she has doubts about her suspicions speaks volume about the absolute need for proof before you can actually start pointing fingers.

It should have won the Academy Award for best actor (Sean Penn-Milk)and actress (Kate Winslet-The Reader)if the field had not been too competitive in 2008!
