How to Survive leh?

Oil price is going to increase from RM1.92 per litre to RM2.70 per litre by tomorrow. An increase of RM0.78, what a NIGHTMARE to many of the motor users when government made such an announcement this evening. Previous experience, I didn’t even bother. But this time is different, I think it really gave me a hit! Gosh, an increase of 40.63%!

Verified the trueness of the news, I was on my way back from Subang to KL. You know how long it took me to reach home? Damn, I was driving from 6.45pm until 9pm. For two hours plus, I was on the road. The roads and the petrol stations were getting congested everywhere. People were crazily lined up to fill the petrol as the price is going to be different by midnight. Some people even kiasu until after filling the car oil-tank, filling their spared plastic tank. The increase drives the whole world crazy!

I didn’t like the idea, but that’s the reality I have to accept. I live in a crazy world. The price increase is just a beginning; there’ll be more increases in many other things which you and I going to face tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow…

Tell me, HOW to survive leh? Money that you earned has such a small buying power today! I think, I gotta be a real rat race starts from this moment on, in order to be affordable and keep surviving in the crazy world like this. Don’t you agree with me?

诚实,是人与人之间关系的基石。如果一段关系建立在谎言之上,就如同在沙地上筑塔,看似巍峨,却经不起一丝风吹雨打。一旦谎言被揭穿,信任崩塌,关系便如断线的风筝,飘摇不定,甚至一发不可收拾,最终坠入无尽的深渊。 两个人若想携手共创未来,路途漫漫,唯有坦诚相待,方能让心与心真正靠近。诚...
