Re: POSB ATM MACHINEIS LANGGAR TIANG DAH!

Think b4 u talk! I just said that usually I will withdraw cash of $100 to
$200 and keep in wallet for my food in hawkers centre. when used up I will
top up again. At that point of time happened that I finish my cash and I
know there is a ATM there!

I need not carry much cash around as I usually pay by nets if I make
purchases in Supermakts, or shopping in most shops! Think b4 u talk!
