*Bawl*

The clever me issued a cheque dated one year back. I didn't realise the mistake till I received a phone call from the bank (after I banked in the payment cheque via the cheque deposit machine). Aiyak.. Dunno why lah I sotongly mistakenly written the year as 2007 instead as 2008. HOW COME? So ocipala.. So sotong..

And this is the first time I write the wrong date on cheques, or the first time my cheques was rejected.. And chun-chun, this occurs on the leap day on the leap year. What a day to remember! Grrrrrrr... :(

I have been quite careful when writing cheques. Mana tau this time tersalah tulis tim.. :(

I don't write many cheques, but it would have been the first 2008 cheque had I known I was supposed to be paying for my car insurance today. I didn't bring my cheque book, so my insurance broker told me he'll come round to the studio on Monday instead.. Hopefully, I'll remember what happened to your cheque, on Monday.. but anyway, I always ask them to write for me. I just sign..

Chen said...

LB,
Good luck for your first cheque in 2008. KFC u won't repeat the same mistake as what i did. But since u ask them to write on your behalf (and u just signed it), then should be alright loh.. Unless the person who writes the cheque is in Sotong Mood too.. LOL

rainbow angeles said...

hmmm... yalor, u missing last year... last year must be a memorable year.. ;)

Today I wrote a cheque for RM2777+

*cries*

chev,
Luckily you only wrote the wrong date of the cheques. If you sotongly wrote my name on it, I'll be a happy man and bank in straight away without giving you back. hahahaha!:P

Tell the manager:

I was blogging about 80's TV
I thought I would have written the cheque as 1985

Hazel said...

Jun said...

hahaha talking abt wrong dates, one of the entries on a patient's notes was "30/2/08". i dunno who wrote it but we had quite a big laugh over a date that will never come ;p

Chen said...

angeles,
RM2777+...
Mmmm.. wonder what Angeles bought with that amount of money..
a DSLR camera?
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk....

This month I have to write few cheques woh..
*cries together*

kok,
Hahahha, I won't write the wrong name lah, cos I will double check the name to ensure the correct spelling and checking the amount of money written (whether the amount in words is tally with the amount in numbers) :D

It never occurs to me that I might write the wrong year. LOL

may,
I didn't use internet banking woh.
I so outdated liao :(

Chen said...

yenjai,
*piak Yenjai*
Tahun 1985 tu..
I was still in primary school leh..
No capability to have a current account yet :P

Thinking about it, during those days, RM10 is a big big amount to me liao. Nowadays we can't buy much with RM10 :(

hazel,
It's troublesome if written the cheque wrongly as have to collect it back again from the bank and reissue another new one :P

jun,
Hahhaha... it's not uncommon to see the dates written wrongly inside medical case notes or patient's files. Quite commonly I see the date entry in the new year written as the year before. (I did the similar mistake too in the past).

And recently I saw someone written the date of the last chemotherapy was in Sept 08 (should be 07 lah) LOL

kyh said...

Doreen said...

Wah~~you are so not blur sotong loh if this is only your first time (writing the wrong date). I've done it so many times especially in the first month of the year, on cheque, on anything. I've to made a few mistakes like this in order to in-print the correct year in my head.
