Well... it is the end of April... the end of income tax month. I usually finished submitting my tax returns 2 weeks before the dateline but this year is a bit busy with new job and not to mention... a new kid. Thank God there is e-filing... the government initiative that permits you to submit your tax calculations online. Easy huh... well it should be... if you remember the bloody password. :@
This tax thingy is... once a year... how the heck can I remember a once-in-a-year password? I was cracking my brain trying to remember the password... but end up putting up the wrong password (I was damn sure it was correct) :#. The system permits up to 3 tries but I end up using all of them... but hey... when you use all of your password 'lifeline'.. the system permits you to choose a series of questions which will give you the password if you answer the question correctly. You know... the "what is your mother's name" kind of question.
So I thought I was saved... hey... who doesn't remember their mother's name? Swear to God Mama... I'd spelled your name correctly... 4 times!!! But still could not get the right answer and finally... I was blocked by the system... which told me to call the toll-free line or the Inland Revenue office to get my e-filing account alive and kicking again. Yeah right... after 10 times calling the bloody number... you got a machine sounding woman asking you to dial 1 for Bahasa, 2 for English. After choosing the language I like the operator to speak... 'machine' woman asked me to hold as the operators were busy. Waited for like 5 minutes and at last I was connected to the operator. It was actually easy to change the password... they asked your name and IC no and presto... you can change the password (talk about security... huh). I was finally in.... not quite... I was using Firefox browser... a no go for this e-filing thingy... have to use IE :o Bloody hell... filled up my tax form and ready to submit... finally... :y my misery is over... yeah right... the server was down... too much traffic. :# Bloody Malaysians... always the last minute :@
Well.. which is why I am posting this blog at 0230... haha... finished submitting my tax returns... and me wife too. E-filing... easy peasy... just remember your password and do it after midnight... else... its bloody pain in the arse. ;)
Glory... Glory... Man United :D
