Oil *grumble* silly *grumble* motorists...

The cabinet decided that they would raise the price of fuel and electricity starting from midnight+ 1 minute on the 5th of June. (1 minute is there to minimise confusion)
I would just like to point out that there are horrible, penny-wise pound-foolish people who think it is worth queueing up at petrol stations to save that 78 cents per litre.
They might be right. You might save like, RM 10, but think of all that money you spend needlessly queuing! Can see the dollar signs evaporating into the air.
And i am speaking as a disgruntled motorist who was caught in a 2 hour jam because of you stupid people.
There was even a picture in the paper of a guy who had to pump petrol into bottles seeing as his car ran out of petrol as he was in the queue.

Don't you just love kiasu Malaysia?

On another note, I will be on my first working trip beginning tomorrow! Off to Jogjakarta and roughing it out in a place called the Ministry of Coffee!


Roughing it out indeed.
hur hur hur....

hehehe I was lucky to pump full tank in the morning before the news was out.

But really, its damn kao expensive la. I used to get full tank for around $60. Now its about $100 give or take.

Anyhow, when you get back from your coffee trip, we'll go out.

You're right.. though you definitely are gonna save more than RM10, but if you have to wait like 1.5 hours in a queue it doesn't make sense. But u know, i pumped 3 cars that day, saved more than RM200 compared to if i had pumped the next day, and at least the stations near my house weren't that crazy packed with ppl..

yay, welcome back!
