False Note


Well, I had seen false notes before but I personally haven't received one before. My shop had received 3 false RM50 in total. It happened as the cashiers were not careful enough and they didn't use the scanner.

Since that happened, I had advised my cashiers to be very careful. Otherwise, they would have to replace it.

Ever since the 3rd time, we were very careful. Maybe once or twice, my cashiers did suspect a false note.

But, this afternoon, I received a RM100 note. Immediately, I knew something was wrong. The note was smooth and the shiny strip looked weird.

I showed it to my husband and he confirmed that it was indeed a false note. I had no choice but to return it to the customer.

She said that it was from her employer so I advised her to return it and claim a real one..



I showed her how to detect a false note when we don't have a scanner to do so..



Just gently rub on the words as shown. You can feel that it's a little floated and not smooth.



By the way, the bank told us not to accept notes that are badly abused with writings or drawings.

Even be careful not to accept notes that have shiny strips that came off partly or so..

    Yup! I hate it when I get a defaced note - with writing and drawings. I wonder why people do that... Often go unnoticed when I get it together with other notes as change.

    Some shops r vy fussy.
    The note (oni RM5) was a lil torn n he rejected it. So it's our responsibility to chk all the notes when we get back our chg if we dun want our money to be rejected.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
