Easier to say than to do....

It has been 6 days since our fuel has increased and I can already feel the aftermath of this unfortunate event. But what really pissed me off when our govt. has the guts to tell us, The Rakyat the way on how to save money. There are few suggestion made by our so clever economist minister. I'm sure you will #$@#@#$ like me..!! Here are the few ridiculous suggestions made :

  • Drive our car 100km/hr or less.. so what if i drive my car 80km/hr - 90km/hr now? Does it make any difference?
  • Do not brake your car too often..If I'm already stucked in jam in kl, I just simply ram the car infront lah..cannot brake too often mah..brake is a neccesity not an alternative we can choose whether to use it or not. They cannot simply tell us not to use it too often
  • Turn off your air-cond while driving..(kononnya use the fresh air to air our car lah)..then what?? eat and breath all the black smoke emitted from big lorry?
  • Change our lifestyle. eg. No more drinking starbuck coffee. What if the people don't even drink starbuck coffee??
  • And the most moronic suggestion is, plant our own veggie at home, and of course we can rear a chicken or two at our backyard. Hahaha! If I live in apartment? Tanam dalam pasu bunga kah?? DUH!!! And where do I have to put my chicken?

It is easier for those so called clever minister to give 1000 suggestions or advices to the Rakyat, but they have no idea how we have to cope really hard in order to survive. Of course they can say its hard, but they have nothing to worry. What to worry?? The increment of fuel price is not the matter, it is the hike of other good prices that bring sooo much problem. I went to the 'Pasar' somewhere near my house yesterday, and RM50 can only get so little things.

  • 3 carrots + 4 tommatos + small lotus root = RM10
  • Fish : Ikan Kembung, ikan tenggiri 4 small pcs, ikan merah = RM17.00 (only few pcs i tell you)
  • Fish Ball + Tauhu = RM5
  • Salted egg + few biji of potatoes + other = RM8
  • 3 Biji small 'chang' = RM6 (It used to cost about RM1.30..but they increased the price to RM2. Alasan, price of rice + petrol increased)

Can you imagine what will happen to those who survive with less than RM1000 income? They don't own a car, and only rely on our public transport (also increased their fare). I don't think the boss will increase their salary..so how are they going to survive after this??

One more thing, in case you never buy maggi for long time, the price has gone up from RM2.50 to RM4 (a packet of 5)! Maggi also can increase soooooooo much, what more of other goods right? *sigh*

p/s : Tired already talking about petrol things story..

kesimpulan nya. sia rasa tau suda apa "derang" mo buat:

1) kurang kan population (laki bini gaduh pasal duit, jd teda la aktiviti malam, teda lah baby)

2) kurang kan aktiviti malam, sia dengar tu "ayam" naik harga suda sbb harga make up naik, bapa2 budak pun kurang suda 3-1o sebab duit bikin beli beras yg 5kilo rm50

3) semua makan angin di rumah sj (angin di rumah perasa apple bah), harga minyak naik, jd kurang kesesakan lalu lintas

4) banyak lagi, nnt la sia tulis dlm report..heheheheh

jadi kepada semua (tmasuk sia) : sabar LAHHHHHH semua.. ;)

MY GOSH..since I left Malaysia, Maggie mee price has already sky rocketing to RM4. Then it might be something like RM5 in Sabah???...hahaha (unhappy laugh).

So, nowadays, you can't really say maggie mee is a poor-man's food (but I like maggie a LOT).

What to do kadusmama, those people if you consider them as people...well couldn't say much here right.

Kadusmama, because you live in apartment, I think you should consider hydroponic to grow vegetables...hahaha (laughing in despair)..aduiii

If I change my lifestyle anymore, I'd end up reverting to caveman times la!

And Maggi mee is now RM4? OMG! And here I was thinking of eating instant noddles for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

I wonder if my neighbour will let me keep some cows and kambings in my yard ... LOL!

KaDusMama said...

nick ~ Hahahaa!! Do you think maggi mee is cheap now?? Expensive man..I was like "WHAT????? RM4???"

Eh..you should tell your neighbour to share the kambings and lembus..hehehee At least the cost will be divided into 2..and you still can enjoy nice food..(how abour curry kambings?? hehehehee)
