Damn it, it's Sunday already, evening too...
1 week of sod-all to do. 1 week of waking up 12 in the afternoon, naps at 5pm. Going to the gym while the sun was still up was a definite plus. Now all that is over and done with.... *sigh*
Well at least i got one item of the stuff on my to do list done... Service My Car...
Finally serviced my car on Saturday so it's running as smoothly as ever. The whole experience felt like making a new passport. The system Proton Edar has set up truly apes government beuracracy. First you have to call up to make a reservation. Once the reservation has been made they'l check to see if they're free that day. Then when all's confirmed you turn up on the day and a guy at the gate will hand you a number. You park your car at a predesignated spot, then walk into the office an have a sit-down. When your numbers called, a clerk will then key in all the required information slowly into his computer. Then you pass him your keys, he passes a chit and then informing you of your car number and time it'll be done. This whole process took about 20-25mins..
When you get back, you wait again then see one of the clerks to pass your chit to him. He then keys in more stuff into his computer, without saying a word, eventually he prints out a receipt with which you go to the payment counter to pay (in my case i used a coupon) and you get your keys back. This also took about 20-25mins to finish. Now this whole system seems nice, clean and straight forward but i still had to wait for almost an hour, not including the time it took them to service my car. With my old car, when i serviced it, i drove over to my mechanic, toss him my keys and he'll tell me how much it'll cost and how long it'll take before its done. All in all, about 10 mins not including service time.
So my question is, which system is better?
