Reactivating an old SBM Bank Account

One of my family member had to pay me some money but my account my deactivated.

I reactivation procedure at the State Bank of Mauritius costed me around 2 hours and like 5 signatures.

What is she doing on the screen clicking here and there? Isn’t that just a field in a database? Even after the 2 hour procedure, the account takes 3 days to become active again. Reason: no idea.

I couldn’t receive the payment on that day. Stupid SBM.

Glass (2019)

Everyone’s talking about Avengers. I simply don’t give a damn. Glass is the type of Super Hero movie I like.

I wonder why the movie was titled as “Glass” rather than something else like Mr [insert a word here] or something. Hmmm. Maybe I now know the answer to this as I’m writing this blog post. I’m getting more mind-blown even now.

Not for the faint-heart/mind though. I’d give it a 9.5/10
