Barang berharga

The other day, I received a phone call from a Poslaju delivery man. He said he was waiting outside my house with a parcel. I was expecting to receive a plastic container that I had redeemed from CIMB, so I told him to leave it at the guardhouse.

He refused, however, saying that it was a valuable item ("barang berharga", in his words). He said he would have to take the blame if the item went missing. Then he suggested leaving it with a neighbour, but somehow the neighbours weren't home either.

He asked me when I would be back, and I told him not for another half hour, at least. He told me to call him back when I got home. Half an hour later, as I was on my way home, he called me again, asking me where I was. When he heard that I wasn't reaching yet, he said he couldn't wait any more, and had to leave first.

After he left, he texted me the parcel tracking number.


When I got home, there was no delivery slip in the mailbox. Was that why he sent me a text message instead? Had he run out of delivery slips?

Anyway, I went to the Lebuh Victoria Poslaju office to collect my parcel. It was the plastic container as I had expected.


It's a nice one, actually... with three removable compartments inside that you can take out if you want to use it as a single storage. When I chose to redeem it, I knew that it was this kind of container, but didn't know about the compartments inside. Maybe this can help me pack my lunch better. Plus it's microwaveable! (except the lid)
