Recently, DBS, Singapore's biggest bank and the one with the widest network of ATMs, suffered a system outage that brought their ATMs and Internet banking to a grinding halt island-wide.
From around 3am Monday morning till about 10am that same day, folks could not do Internet and phone banking, draw cash from ATM machines, or pay with their debit cards.
The first thing that i do is to check the account whether it has increased to another zero or several zeros, but dang,it was the still same.
like Singapore Power where we had power failure not long ago.
Like PUB, where we had floods in orchard road.
like SMRT, trains are disrupted due to maintainance vehicle breakdown,also not long ago
just like Murphy's Laws:
* If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong.
* If there is a worse time for something to go wrong, it will happen then.
* If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop.
* If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
* Nature always sides with the hidden flaw.
* Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first.
* Every solution breeds new problems.
* Enough research will tend to support your theory.
* When there is a very long road upon which there is a one-way bridge placed at random, and there are only two cars on that road, it follows that: (1) the two cars are going in opposite directions, and (2) they will always meet at the bridge.
* Smile... tomorrow will be worse.
* Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.
* You never run out of things that can go wrong.
so, just smile as tomorrow will be worse
