Hot in the City

This is about the life of Miss Mo, a 30-something gal who recently moved back to Singapore from the US.

 

I'm not allowed to pay my library fine

I was at the Library@Orchard just now. It's quite a nice library, more chich than cozy. Lots of glass and metal. I wanted to pay my renewal fine of $0.50 so I approached Ms Noor at the service counter.

I passed her my EZ link card for payment but she said that since my card is linked to 'Giro link', I can't use it to pay for my fine. I need to use an EZ link card that uses cash-topup. I can't use Nets because it's less than a $1. Finally, I asked whether I could pay cash and she said no. I could pay by cashcard though. What! I can't pay by cash but I can pay by cashcard. Geezzz.....

All these technology is complicating Ms Noor and me! It's just 50cents!

i also have banned from the library because i still owe then $1.50. they don't allow me to pay by cash and insisted i buy a cash card that needed to have a $5 deposit or some such. can't remember. it was years ago. i discovered amazon and stuck to that instead for books.
