Internet Banking

ok. seriously.

I'm currently working in a bank. As an analyst. More precisely, a credit analyst.

I don't have other than saving account.
which means, yes, I don't have any deposits, or obligations, or options, or even investing in gold.
I don't have any card other than debit.
which means, yes, I don't have credit card.
And although I work in one of the biggest bank in Indonesia, I still have not use their e banking facilities except the ATM - at least until last week.

many people asked me, why am i living in a cave lifestyle when it is something that involves banking activities ?

the only reason is that, I'm a splendor.

even with only a debit card, I would go crazy shopping.

you know those online sites where they sell used books and you can pay through transfer ?

and then those book bazaar where they'd occupy a whole sport stadium to put thousands books and they'd accept payment using debit card ? 

and then those used books sellers where they display books near the ATM ?

and those used stamps sellers who opens at every Sunday market in one of the biggest university park in West Java that also happens to have an ATM spot nearby ?

oooh I went crazy for all of those, and don't mind repeating it again.

you could imagine, what will happen if i have a credit card.

either that, or probably I just don't like being in debt.
-------------
now you really can see, eh ? Even with a debit card, i could go crazy. Although it means i have to look for the nearest ATM to do the transfer or withdraw (some, little, just enough) cash.

then, i heard they're going to put me in one of our overseas branch (far far away from Indonesia), while i'm still in charge of paying our home bills in Jakarta (electricity, internet, phone), so i have no other option, then to (drum rolls) open an Internet Banking account !

and yes, for the past week since i first opened it, I already got the feeling.

The feeling of being able to pay anything from my own room as long as the internet connection is doing well.

THAT feeling.

*such a caveman*

and now, ladies and gentlemen , all i have to do,  is just hold back my desire in those old books they put for sale (oooooooohhhhhhhh the Nur Sutan Iskandar's from the 80's!) and keep in mind. That internet banking is there to make transactions easy.

wait, isn't 'book shopping' is a "transaction" too ?

aaaaaaaarrrggggg

*someone, save that token machine from me!*
