Stupid Petrol Hike

Hike lah! Hike! Everything also hike. The entire economy will cave in one of these days. In the near future. You cannot live in Malaysia if you are earning RM1,500.

Car installments: RM600 [Balance RM900]

Freaking petrol: RM200 [Balance RM700]
If you're a hermit

Food & rent: RM600 [Balance RM100]
If you're staying with mommy, good for you.

Utility bills: RM200 [Balance -RM100]
Only if you have cold showers, handwash your clothes, sleep at 8pm with no air-conditioning, don't have insurance, don't socialize, don't blog, don't shit, don't breathe.

And we still have to pay for the damn toll: RM100 [Balance -RM200]
Unless you work from home, which overwrites the Utility Bill count.

In 5 years, you will owe people more than RM10,000. Yes. Go to die.

Once upon a peaceful Wednesday night, I was in the US. Going forward on the right lane, coming forward on the left lane. Because the Shell station had to plant itself nicely there.



Duration to get home from Taman Desa: 50 freaking minutes. No joke.

People came prepared with tongs and Coca-Cola bottles to fill up - hogging the kiosk, delaying traffic.



There were queues. ON THE FREAKING HIGHWAY! You can tell that those who keep signaling right have already filled their tanks happy. ONLY TO SPEND A THIRD OF THE TANK ON THE TRAFFIC JAM.

Ridiculous.

Been reading some articles on the fuel hike and randomly interviewing colleagues. Suggested to boss that we should stay in the office. Sleeping bags.

You know what's wrong with Malaysia?

Cost of living goes up and up and up and up. Skyrocketing month after month, year after year. And all they can come up with is 'Ubah Gaya Hidup Anda'? Month after month, year after year, our gaya hidup is plummeting down. Down, down, down. Soon we'll all have to show up at work in our underwear and eat bread with water. And you wonder why the election results were what they are.

Shocking right?

No, not really. Guess his race.
