Anyway, been meaning to post this for some time already. As I was pretty much busy and then maybe a bit uneasy due to the price hike on petrol as well as the electricity. Last nite Deluxe and I went and pump petrol for both the cars, and apparently it took a while for us to purchase. And of course there were a few buggers who can’t just sit and wait, and they just had to cut queue. Fortunately there weren’t any riot in purchasing these fuel the other nite. I had an uncle came up to me, asking me if the price increase is for real or not. And I told him that PM already announce already, and he even asked if I could give him another RM10. -_-” Anyway, life goes on. We’re probably expecting to see a lot of changes, and hopefully things will not turn from bad to worst.

    Ok. On to our story, actually I was in a mortgage reduction seminar where I would probably blog about it my other blog. And I’m actually suppose to blog about the food I had there while I was there for the last 5 days. For more pictures, you can actually head over to my photoblog and basically I made a summary on the pictures which I took there. But basically it’s more about insects. Hehe.. So for the first 3 days, we actually had buffet for lunch, so we are free to choose on what we should eat. And apparently our speaker had encouraged us (only at the last day), that whenever you go for a buffet one should always start off with the fruits section as an appetizer, before heading to the main course.

    Practically this is going to be a short post. Don’t really feel like posting this due to the price increase as well.. What can we do? Probably everyday we probably will just eat grass just to save up for petrol. -_-” I was so by happened to dropped by at Tun’s Blog, and I read one of the people who commented on his blog. This was what he said.

“Corpetro said…
    saya yg paling terkena bila minyak naik ni….ini disebabkan saya berulang alik dari cyberjaya ke melaka. Skrang ni pun belanja minyak + tol saya pi keje rm 1000 sebulan….itu minyak harga rm1.92 je….aku rasa klu dengan rate skrang ni rm 2.70 mau kat rm 1500 untuk minyak kereta je!!!! kerajaan bg subsidi rm625 setahun tu cuma belanja minyak saya setengah bulan.
    isteri saya pun x sanggup tgk saya sakit poket ujung bulan, malam tadi beliau buat keputusan untuk berenti belajar. dan kami akan pindah balik ke Seri Kembangan ujung bulan ni. Satu keputusan yg amat menyedihkan, tapi kami terpaksa menerimanya. Nak duduk asrama, anak saya nak letak mana pula…tak terjaga. Satu keluarga menangis mlm tadi. isteri nangis sebab dia kena berenti belajar, saya nangis sebab terharu dengan keputusan isteri, anak aku nangis sebab tgk mak ayah dia nangis…terima kasih kerajaan malaysia….
    Untuk keluarga yg One Man income mcm saya ni, sure banyak effek…
    Tariff elekrik pun akan naik tidak lama lagi, berikutan diesel naik rm 1…..ahhh…malas nak pk apa lagi yg akan naik….”

    Sometimes when you think that you could be in a bad situation, who knows someone else could be in a worst situation compared to where you are now. Apparently what happened to this fellow is that every month he had to fork out about RM1k++ just for toll and petrol, and with the increase hike it would cost him about RM1.5K now, as he normally travel to and fro from Cyberjaya and Melaka. So with that increase, they had a family discussion that night and apparently his wife decided to stop schooling because she felt that it would burden him even more. And they are planning to move back to Seri Kembangan, and probably maybe start over again.

    I’m not sure if it’s just me, but I noticed there aren’t pretty much cars moving around yesterday. Probably everyone is pretty much smart to car pool, and hopefully it could save them a buck or two. But I guess you can’t change reality, considering that once fuel price goes up, a lot of things will be following it later. So I’m pretty much concern on shipping prices now, since it would cost more on exporting. Whereby I had a customer who was shocked with the price increase on shipping as I quoted him recently. Probably might need to revise a few things again. Haha..

    Anyway, I’ve also change the layout on my blog already. Been getting email regarding on how to read my blog -_-” So sorrylah to mafan all of you.. Hahaha.. Yeah I know price high, so make life simple for everyone else.. But it’s all good.. Probably might be putting a few ads here and there to fill up the space and also subsidies for petrol.. Hehehe.. Anyway, have a nice day everyone!
