Simple Person : Erm .. I think you gave me a wrong change...
you suppose to give me back 50cents .. and not 20cents...
Cashier : Hello "MR." please look carefully .. I give you 50cents...
Simple Person : opps .. sorry.. I didn't look at it...(so paiseh)
Cashier : Please see properly not all ppl got misai (moustache) is your father..
Simple Person : I am so paiseh (embarrassed). Everyone is looking at me...
(wanted to tell him .. my dad got no moustache
so should I tell him that no moustache should be my mum?
well I just walk off from the store after apologise......)
I am very confuse after the new coins come in to use..
I had been using the same "size" of coins for more than 30 years...
and it is so difficult for me to adapt to the new sizes of coins....
Or is it first time you see such a new coin?
I got some change after paying the lunch with my wife ..
one of it is the new 50cents coins....
Then I told my wife .. damn .. the new coin so poor quality and all the edges were damage..
new coin and worn out so fast.....
My wife : Hello MR... have you really look into the new 50 cents coins ?
It is the design la ... not damage.
Malaysia produce good quality of products
Simple Person : ooo izzit ?
then I told her the joke abt the moustache ..
My wife : Don't worry I will look properly ... so not all ppl without moustache is my husband..
(she laugh and laugh and laugh ....)
There is a dent curve design along the perimeter...
I like this New 50 cents because light and small.
ReplyDeleteHey Thambee, your eyes Lau hua Liao?
ReplyDeletelol .. I didn't look at it..
DeleteI just use my finger to feel it .. kakakaka
cannot lah, now have to feel and also have to look carefully!! the 50 and 20 sen are so close!!
DeleteMuahahaha, SP, you story here is so funny la~
DeleteI can't stop laughing here!
I like the new gold coins but I have no interest yet to see the patterns.
ReplyDeleteactually the new coins are nice, just that the size is kind of close to each other, easy to get confused..
DeleteThe country will save metal by making smaller sizes.
ReplyDeleteAnay, are you sure it's the "country" and not "those people"??
DeleteIt will be lighter in my pockets too.
ReplyDeletetrue also.. the new coins are a lot lighter.. hahaha!! but doesn't make any difference i don't carry loads of them at one time..
DeleteAll my piggy banks will be able to save more coins in future.
ReplyDeleteI know it was embarrassing but your story is funny (i am so mad im sorry ^_^) )
ReplyDeletei didn't realize that we had new coins till today! When the cashier gave me 20 cents I thought that they were foreign money! O.O
ReplyDeleteAi yooooo mr simple new coins where got so cepat dented?? But the new coins really creating a lot hassle, my mom now gotta wear her Lou fa n look at the coins properly b4 paying n receiving
ReplyDeleteI have to really look at them. Otherwise I'd use 50sen coin to pay for 20sen punya barang and not expect change!
ReplyDeleteexactly!! the new 20 sen and 50 sen look so similar!!
DeleteI guess the dent is to make us realise it 50sen and not 20sen? ;p
ReplyDeleteerrr, but it doesn't make a lot of difference.. cannot really feel the dent, still have to look carefully the value..
Deletehaiyoh, you so lulu one?? of course when it comes to new coins, better look before you accuse people lah.. see?? now you make yourself a fool instead :D
ReplyDeletei know the new 20 and 50 sen are both in gold color, and about the same size.. and then the 5 and 10 sen also about the same size.. so confusing, cannot just feel but really have to look carefully..
ReplyDeleteyou make so much fool of yourself with the new coins lah.. die lor, later when the new notes are released, will you think they are those monopoly notes or even hell notes?? wakakaka~~
ReplyDeletehuh?
DeleteI don't know that there are new notes coming out....
I will curse the fellow kau kau . if he give me hell notes..
%^&^*#@#%
errr, not all with moustache are your father?? what kind of statement is that?? should say "not all men are your father" or "not all women are your mother" mah~~
ReplyDeleteI have been having problems with the new coins too but by now I think I got over it already.
ReplyDeleteoh gosh!! the grocery owner is so sarcastic.. hahaha... interesting post! this morning my mum was also complaining.. blur eyes cannot differentiate the coins size.. she will be spending more than usual.. :))
ReplyDeleteLOLOL! Funny la you!
ReplyDeleteInteresting with the dent.
ReplyDeleteHee, hee. I like your wife's sense of humour.
ReplyDeleteaiyo, i think the cashier is a bit too rude lah =) i like the new coin cos it's smaller. but i dunno if it's lighter, heh =)
ReplyDeletehe just changed our bank notes and coins recently and just like you... I was quite confused too at first...
ReplyDeleteYes...the new coins are very very confusing.... Have to be very careful like when using foreign currency overseas.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, it is very confusing. Somehow governments around the world are making changes to their coin. For your reading pleasure - http://www.bondvigilantes.com/2012/06/26/lonesome-george-osborne-should-get-rid-of-one-and-two-penny-coins/
ReplyDeleteNot only are they confusing, they are much 'lighter' too.. I even think they're like those tokens at Genting theme park...
ReplyDeleteActually I'm not used to the new coin oso. Always pay money oso I need to check b4 paying. And I don't understand why the heck they need to come up with this new coin when most of the machines couldn't detect or accept this new coin!!
ReplyDeletethe dent was a design problem. They only notice it when they have produce many coins and so they just continue making it that way.
ReplyDeletewell, thats my wild guess. ahahahahhaha
I still prefer the old coins, i guess more solid..............
ReplyDeletewah, so rude 1 the cashier >.< I met the same situation too, I mixed up the 5cents and 10 cents >.<
ReplyDeleteLuckily fui fui is more observant. I also didn't know the design like that one. That cashier is quite naughty lo!
ReplyDeleteaiyo, don't worry la. you are not the only one. :) i also kena several times until i have to look carefully before paying. admit lo, not young anymore. :) kekeke
ReplyDeletewhy that cashier so rude? lol
ReplyDeleteanyways, I been using new coin very well, all I need to do is double check lol
I reckon the cashier is rude leh. How can he / she made such remarks? Uncle already mah, is like that one lo - blur blur... oppss, haha~
