Race against time

One of my all-time favorite show on AXN channel is Amazing Race. Being a contestant on Amazing Race is really exciting because you can travel the world and do numerous activities at certain pitstops. Today, I feel like I am in Amazing Race. Before I could put down my bag and turn on my laptop, one of the assistant manager asked me to do a task for him. I had to drive to the Company's Commission of Malaysia to obtain the financial statements and corporate information for S company. The catch: I had to be back by lunch time. I don't know my way to KL so I decided to take a cab. I gave the taxi driver the address and he said he knew the way. He stopped me at Bursa Saham which was the wrong place. Luckily, he was kind enough to wait for me while I asked the security guard. It is actually in The Mall. The taxi driver drove to The Mall and the total cab fee were RM 26. To make matters worse, I have only RM80 in my wallet. When I reached the Company Commission, I took a number and waited in line. My number was called and I had to pay RM10 for a password for S company. Just for a password I had to pay RM 10...I don't even dare think how much earn in a day. Then, I had to logged in to the computer to get the financial information. I went to the counter to collect it and had to pay RM22 for printing. Next, I had to pay RM13 for the corporate information. I already spent RM 71 and only had RM 9 more in my wallet. I was worried that I had not enough money for cab. I took a cab and the journey back was so much faster and cheaper compared to going to CCM building. Finally, I arrived at KPMG office and paid the taxi RM 9. I completed the task given and even made it in time. Then, I thought to myself, maybe I should apply for Amazing Race Asia...the question is who will be my partner? The best part of this "Amazing Race KL" is that I get to claim back my expenses from KPMG. *whew*
What a day to spend a Friday morning at work..Later tonight, I will be watching Harry Potter in GSC!!It's going to be an exciting Friday indeed...
