• Hand Wax

  I stumbled upon this at Mid Valley when I was down in KL. Actually I saw this in Las Vegas, US but I didn’t dare to do it. I was afraid of the hot wax. I wanted to try it but in the end, I ask my hubby to do it.

  It was cool, I think my hubby has the biggest hand and it was worth the money. The mold cost RM10, coloring cost RM10 and the base cost RM10. Total was RM30. First the wax hand maker put my hubby’s hand into cold water for a while. After that, quickly dip into the hot wax and cold water again. My hubby told me a warm feeing, no pain at all. She repeated it until the mold was form. Later she pulled it out slowly from my hubby’s hand. She fixed the holes with tiny pieces of wax. Later applied color and put on the base.

  If I ever bum into it again, maybe I will try and put the hand mold in my office.

• EPF Cheque

  Finally I have received the EPF cheque after 32 working days. The officer told me that I will get it in 21 working days. Anyway, there were some hiccups in between. The HQ officer wanted another letter from the bank because the S&P and the Grant has a different address. It was due to the purchase of the property before it was completed. The officer was very ambiguous on the instruction and had to call him a couple of times to get the exact content of the letter. If they have put the information on their website, wouldn’t it be easier?

  I must say the bank was very efficient to produce the letter for me on the spot. Another plus point is EPF office is just near my house. I will be very frustrated if I have to go to town every time to submit missing documents.
