Money not enough
“Fuel prices increased by 30cents per litre and there won’t be anymore increases again within this year” according to the news headline. ‘This year’, maybe yes maybe no. But next year? Haha…you’ll know better. Afterall, we have been living long enough; wise enough knowing how this underlying theory works.
Welcome to the world of BOLEHLAND…
I started to think if I’m living in the many hands of gold-diggers, which everyday in everyway trying to figure out how to take money away from meager earners like us. First it was the BN overnight policy rate that gives banks the opportunity to rake from homeowners… and what lies ahead is still vaguely known. But for sure it’s not something that we would want it to happen unless for a lower BLR that we’ve always prayed for. Topping up 0.25 to the existing 6%, and then now to 0.5 in less than months… the market isn’t in good condition as they said it, and that conveyed adding burden to the end-consumers.
Then came yesterday, when news start breaking in at almost 11pm via calls and smses from close networks. Shockingly, what? Not again? And it’s no longer few cents or 10cents we are talking about. 30 cents is huge ok…ouch, ouch! *#@^*$#* cursing here and there. It’s so intentionally only to make it public at such late hours… so people have lesser time to act, which in turn benefited kiosks owners once the hands strike 12. Why can’t they announce it during the prime time and let everyone enjoy the last pump at 1.62? Shitty, shitty isn’t it?
Well, no doubt that every single petrol station was congested last night whilst I got myself entertained in front of the tv box. The ignorance, the laziness and the don’t-care-much attitude in me at that particular moment didn’t give it a damn albeit the almost empty tank. It didn’t save much in the long run neither, so I decided to let go this one-time savings (lucky that I’m driving small car). And…later tonight, pumping in 1.92. Have I gotten insane? Soon…‘coz I’m running out of gold, so please stop digging *sob*sob*
What’s next? Inflation on the rise…

Read news that Bank Negara will be having another discussion soon (probably next month) to increase .25 again. Damn, am helpless.
