'Lotax'

Anyone recently has been to the post office near kenyalang park? I was there 2 weeks back to renew my 'lotax' (road tax to be exact) and since I'm 'eligible' to go to school a little late on Tuesday morning therefore I decided to make full use of my Tuesday 2 weeks ago to do it. I woke up early as usual, and arrived at the post office by 8am not knowing the opening hours. Only then i found out that it opens at 8am till 4pm.

When i arrived, there were already a few aunties & uncles waiting there ahead of me!

Well, as usual, we were all quite impatient, waiting for the door to open. Somehow being punctual is a bad habit. They opened the door late!

Few months ago when i was there, with the renovation going on, the whole place was quite dusty but it looks quite different now.

One interesting fact about government offices is this; we always lots of counters but only 1 or 2 are operating. Sound familiar? See, there was only 1 counter serving us.

So how does the ticketing-counter looks like? It's quite 'cool'. It looks like this!

But maybe something that they can improve is the little notice that i found, right beside the machine. It says this:

Doesn't this reflect what a typical malaysian would normally do? Don't tell me you have never done this before; taking more than 1 q-ticket. Well, i must speak on behalf of many thousands & millions of malaysian here that normally the instruction is quite unclear; we really don't know which number should we take. So, to be safe, the more numbers we have, the merrier!

Thank God i only waited for 15 minutes before my turn. That's quite effective i thought. Now while queuing in the line before the office was open, i saw this 'tutup' sign being put up. When i left the place, it was still 'tutup'. i couldn't help but took this picture :@)

So yea, i finally got the 'lotax' renewed. Now, how many of you find it really tough to remove the old one before putting the new one up? That old thingy is SO sticky and for years i have been trying hard to rip it off whether is by force of gently, it would never come off completely!

Anyway, this is how mine looks like now. Pretty ugly, don't you think?

Is your 'lotax' expiring soon? Unsure? You better check mate!
