With all the posh malls decorating the city streets these days, it lures people out to discover and visit them. Cos every other people would have already gone there and will sooner or later ask you;
"Have you been there (yet)?"
Been there, so what? Classy as it is, it is still a playground for credit card predators. They'd probably been guilty of spoiling people's day by asking about people's creditworthiness. I was at Robinson's when I overheard a couple "harassed" by a CC predator (CCP) asking;
Pred: Do you have a Platinum card?
Couple: (looks at each other) Er, no.
Pred: Oh, then do you have a gold card?
Couple: Nope.
Pred: Oh, then what is your highest credit limit???
(then he went on and lalallala with the privileges you get with a Platinum card)
What's wrong with these people? It's not like people bring along their EA forms on shopping trips. Ugh. Dong!~ If you really mean fast approval, and that you trust your potential customer then offer one on the spot, instant approval without supporting documents. Dare you to.
Need not peek!I was harassed at One Utama during lunch break. Some CCP from HSBC I think. She obviously noticed that I had a tag dangling from my neck (that is, I work next door), and asked if I have a credit card.
Me: Yes.
Pred: Oh, from which bank?
Me: Maybank.
Pred: Visa or Master?
Me: Visa and Amex.
Pred: Would you like a HSBC Mastercard since you already had a Visa and Amex?
Me: Thank you but No.
Pred: Why not you just apply because we give fast approval.
Me: How fast is your fast approval, anyway?
(mistake, she thought I have a glint of interest)
Pred: Do you have your pay slip with you?
Me: HAHA - Who would walk around carrying a pay slip? (Siao ar?)
Pred: (chuckles) Your office is next door, right?
Me: I don't keep it in the office. Ok lar.Thanks but I don't need another card.
Kesian that girl. She's probably new. But then, what does fast approval mean? Means you need to spend time filling out forms, and at the end of the day you'll have to fax the signed copy them, along with all other supporting documents. All the hassle. And you dare call that fast approval? Trust me, they'll only go as far as making you submitting your application and they're safe. They'd probably ignore your calls when you ask for status. Haha.
The bank that your company maintains a current account with will probably have rang you. Preapproved - 1 Million times faster than fast approval cos its Pre. They just need a simple Yes or No.
Cosmodome
Wow Factor
I liked the layout. The criss crossing walkways mid air. And the way the play with natural light. However it's suffocating to be at the top floor, the high ceilings heated up and as the crowd gulped in oxygen, not breathe in order to gather view the structures above, it's simply breath taking. Those with their jaws dropped, tend to gulped in more air. Still its a such sight.
Can I study Architecture?
Me: Yes.
