Every time someone talks about traveling (or spontaneity. Or danger -_-) Fat Her likes to fondly – I use the word “fondly” loosely – recall the time I traveled home to KL from Boston (i.e. halfway round the world) with only 40 dollars in my wallet.

In my defense, I was only a poor student, and since my flights were all paid for, I figured I wouldn’t have to fork out any more money en route. And anyway I had my (dad-given) credit card with me.

At this point my dad would turn purple in the face while patiently pointing out that while a credit card was all very fine and dandy, it was no replacement for the security of cold hard cash in hand.

To be honest, he is right. And to be more honest, I always wait until the very last minute and usually end up forgetting to go to the ATM. Then I’m stuck somewhere with no money and have to borrow money from my parents or Wombeh or kind friends. I’m just thankful that they all love me enough to put up with this -_-

But if you’re like me, you can now let go your worries because if you can find a 7-11, you can find an AmBank ATM.

So interesting right! I’m pretty sure AmBank is the only bank with ATMs in 7-11s.

So if there’s an AmBank ATM, there’s MONEY! Ahem.

And if there’s money…ok you get the idea.

But there’s something else that you can get from the AmBank ATM.

Here’s me… and Desmond in front of a 7 Eleven -_- he ruined my photo opp!

Here better.

I’m wearing glasses and a um hat because I’m pretending to be an inspector! Inspector Aud 001.

Because this is called the AmBank Inspector ATM contest.

Anyway do like what I did. Which is locate any AmBank ATM at 7 Eleven.

Perform an ATM transaction and keep the receipt.

Then take a picture with the ATM.

Like so.
Then log on to the AmBank Facebook page …

…install the application, key in your ATM code, upload your photo, play 3 allotted games for your ATM code and you’re done!

You rack up points:
 Each time a photo is uploaded during each ATM code registration or/and
 Each time your photo is voted by others
 Each time you vote for your friends’ photos
 Each time you score in a game

Prizes include iPad, iPhone 4, Sony Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii, Samsung Netbooks, Canon Ixus cameras, HTC Wildfire phones, a DSLR Camera (Canon EOS 1000d) and 7-Eleven vouchers.
