Stock Check day. A day office closed for office work but work on the coming Sunday in replacement. What a good timing I could have a day free to pick up the new Viva.

I called Jeffrey, the car saleman, what time I could come to see him. He was disappointed to reply that the Custom Office computer system is offline. A long list of new cars including mine has to wait for the computer system to be back online again to be able to enter into the computer data center. These data are national wide used by other departments all over Malaysia. JBJ Department will not issue new car registration and issue road tax with the new car information in the computer system.

2:00 am I called again. Perodua sales staff still unable to process the car as Custom Office computer still offline. Even if the system is back online the next hour, it is also too late for JBJ Department to do the 2nd part of documentation. By now Jeffrey and I accept that this is a bad day and will hope for the best next week. Tomorrow is Saturday 1st of May a public holiday of Labour Day, no one will work.

Down payment for a new car

Paid 10% Downpayment to Perodua's distributor in Sabindo Center this morning. After that Jeffrey brought me walk over to the end of the block to AM Bank where Ms Shin gave me to sign a set of documents. I signed about 10 signatures and that all for the final bank loan procedure. Ms Shin told me she will call me within 3 weeks on how to pay monthly installment payment.

And Jeffrey told me the car will be ready in my name by the end of the day when I can drive it home.

I have only half day leave and has to be back to office by noon. I told Jeffrey I will come tomorrow instead to get the new car.
