happy and sad news...

News broke out today that petrol price will increase from RM1.92 to RM2.70. Never have i seen so many cars queuing to pump petrol. The queue is still long ... it's like the whole malacca is outside pumping petrol... Thank god my new employer will subsidy my petrol....

I'm pretty unhappy that i found him to bet football and lose again... i accidently saw his brother's sms. I'm very hurt at the way he is acting.... and when he loses, i get to bear the brunt.... Can i choose all over again? sigh....

On a happier note, my new car is out today : )

Update
I managed to pump full petrol the other day coz my new car's petrol tank is empty, which came up to RM66.99. While i acknowledged that the gov is reducing its budget deficit by reducing subsidy, people in the streets like us did not see where those savings go to, except cheaper cooking oil, sugar, chickens etc. The gov asked us to depend more on public transport, but they are only thinking about ppl in KL. Ask those ppl in towns like Malacca, Ipoh, Kelantan.... is the public transport reliable? I rarely see town bus plying my residential area... perhaps none. I remember when i was a kid, the bus only comes around once an hour. And since their timetable is not fixed, we sometimes find ourselves missing the bus. And not all places are connected by the bus, thus a car for residents in these towns are a necessity, not a luxury. Imagine taking a bus to work. Wake up 6am, bus come at 7 am, change bus at bus station to the workplace, reach around 8am. Repeat 2 hours of wastage daily when u return from work, and you will only reach home at 8pm. 4 hours of wastage for nothing... doesn't it makes more sense to have your own car, where you only spend less than an hour travelling daily???

Ppl in malacca doesn't earn much. Sometimes a graduate only earns RM1200-1400 and imagine they need to pay study loan of around RM200 for local uni and RM500 for private uni. Since connectivity is a problem, they need a car, assuming they pay RM400 a month for a Viva. That leaves them RM600 and it is just enough for food and petrol. And what about those technicians with 3-4 kids who earns only RM700-800 per month? Who can they turn to except to unscrupulous money lender?
