Petrol Hike & The Domino Effect

THANK YOU MY BELOVED COUNTRY..!! THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY FUCKIN HEART..!! This is what i always wanted.. morons..!! How sad.. 20% increase in petrol prices, not forgetting we still have to pay the ever increasing toll charges, insanely high roadtax & insurance, summons etc.. this really SUCKS..!! Domino effect seriously heading our way on everything.. FARKERAMA..!!
Well.. in their defense.. this is what they have to say for themselves..
"Although the Government is raising the price of petroleum products, diesel and LPG, the price of diesel and petrol in Malaysia is still cheaper in other ASEAN countries except Brunei"
Does anyone even notice? This has always been their 'signature statement' for every fuckin petrol price increase.With all due respect, in my humble opinion, this statement simply reflects the moronic nature and mentality that they have.
Our petrol is NOT cheaper than other countries from a user's point of view. The Government always say "Australia AUD1.50 / lit = RM4.50, ours now only RM1.92".... pundek muthafarkers, Australia you earn AUD$4000 also is RM12000 ma, so pls compare apples to apples. KNNCCB.Dont do the conversions back to our moronic RM and see where we stand now...for farks sake, its almost 2 bucks for us!!!
In a way, its a standard reply to show that "Yes, we the (Bolehland) Govt, still care about you (punies rakyat-sucker). See, our price is still the cheapest in the region what? (Stop complaining and suck it up you dumbwats)" It's time to get the fuck outta here... darn.. my passport expire long time ago edi..
That statement only works with those orang kampungs who still thinks the politicians are the true blue hero of the nation.
Since the petrol increase is so called 'unavoidable', they should make it compulsory for employers to raise the salary of their employees, at least at the same rate of the petrol price hike. What would happen now is surely the increased price of goods and service going up, inflation going up, big companies should earn much more money but profits are not redirected to the employees but into the share holders pockets.
So the rich are getting richer and the poor is getting poorer.
On the other hand so what if they're them reducing subsidy of fuel, but the crazy sky high taxes on everything related to transportation while *NOT* providing any concrete alternatives for people to leave their cars at home to commute to work is REALLY MADNESS AND SHORTSIGHTED!!! The billions supposedly saved from reduced subsidy, are those going to go into extending our LRT lines, improved bus services, etc (err.. hello? This LRT and Commuters doesnt apply to us in JB and other states bar The Klang Valley you morons..!!) and also, at the same time they build more and more tolled roads to put more and more vehicles on the road. This farking gahmen is INCONSISTENT! The transport industry is gonna be hit very hard this time. be prepared for more cost-push inflation (and heck...wtf they increase BLR?!? they think it's consumer driven inflation ar??? cost of biz gonna go up, disposable income shrinks more...deposit rates have not risen...) What I'm sure we all are gonna see are more potholes, more congestions, higher toll prices and more stupid people.. Food stuffs.. clothes.. daily groceries.. day to day neccessities.. prices for all these are surely gonna increase like there's no tomoro.
One thing they fail to realise is that 80-90s born population who can start to vote in the next election are much more exposed to the internet and their surroundings. Well educated people will make better decision and vote. Sadly, myopic BN wont know what hit them in 10 years time.
The Government should really reanalyze and revamp the whole economical structure... from scratch.. from the very fundamentals which put the salary structures and peoples interest first before their big fat ass pockets.. Its sad to see that the income for most is very much lower compared to how much they need to spend for daily neccessities just to live. Revamp the whole tax structure ie road tax, income tax, watever shit tax and all.. Salary structure ie set a standardized income structure for the people. at the end of the day, these people, the malaysians are the ones paying taxes.. Food stuffs prices should also be controlled for certain type of vendors / restaurants. Groceries prices are increasing steadily in the last 5 years. Dont they ever do their own shopping? Heck.. the gov should really do a comparo of Dollar to Dollar of our currency to other currencies and see how much the people are actually getting poorer.
Since i'm in the mood.. I could start on the national car but naahhh... i'll leave that for another time.
From the bottom of my heart.. i give those people the magical 2 fingers salute..

All is well..

Told ya i could make it thru.. its only thursday.. and i'm already back on track.. dun ask.. i got lucky.. with a little bit of preseverence and luck.. i cud at least survive till end of next week.. woohoo.. maybe its this song which i cant get it out of my mind since err.. forever.. hahah.. its by The Rolling Stones titled "You Can't Always Get What You Want"... the chorus keep on playing in my head.. maybe its kind of like a little motivator to me.. hehehe.. here's how it goes.. the chorus..

Sing it to me now..
You can't always get what you want..
You can't always get what you want..
You can't always get what you want..
But if you try sometimes you just might find..
You get what you need..
~~~~~~
there you go.. so far.. it has got me to where i am now.. i may not be super rich.. i may not be very succesful yet.. but for all the things i've lost or didnt have the chance to have a part or try.. i know somewhere.. somehow.. there'll always be better things for me.. i feel that i'm moving in the right direction.. hopefully i'll get to higher extremes.. its just how i open up to em.. its all in the mind... the important thing is to always TRY to think out of the box.. see things in a different perspective.. try to see 'good' in every 'bad'.. the world will be a much beautiful place.. i've got tonnes of stuffs to write.. but that's for another time, another day.. here's something for everyone..

Totally broke..

Tskk.. tsskk.. tskk..

am totally broke.. never been this broke.. behind the happy face that i put on.. despite the fact that i drive a nice car.. and the fact that i look gud all the time.. heheeh.. i'm totally broke.. am behind on my car installment.. errr.. havent pay yet for this month.. starved myself the whole day.. no money for petrol.. no money for food.. arrrgghh.. how am i gonna get thru the week without money for petrol and food.. huhu.. sad huh.. i'll just need to come up with sumthing.. i know i'm gud at it.. arrrhh.. but i'm hungry.. how? isk.. isk.. isk..
am still waiting for my petrol claim.. was out to site offices last week and yesterday.. petrol budget a bit off.. hahaha.. now its affecting my meal budget.. darn.. shouldnt have went in to Pasir Gudang for the night sprint last weekend. if not.. at least i'd still have some money this week or at least till i get my claim.. huhu..
well.. i survived yesterday and today.. its only 3 more days till weekend.. haaaiihh.. wat am i doing.. put aside too much for this month.. thot i'd make it thru this month.. but apparently i was wrong.. shud've been more careful tho.. bought sum shares.. price dropped the next day.. waiting for the price to go up.. huhu.. didnt buy much actually, but a bit too much to make me go broke now..
will just see how this turns out.. hopefully this wont last long..
also, i spent a lot on my car too.. had its camber reworked.. and drive shaft bearing relayered.. but its all worth it.. spent my chinese new year holiday cleaning up the interior of my car.. fix up loose parts.. cleaned up my leather seats.. and made sure everything is holding in its place.. hhehehe..

Saturday night sprint..

its the 2nd time i went in with my bella.. car was in tip top condition.. it perfomed amazingly well.. but it still lost all runs.. however am still happy with it.. certainly better than my first outing.. perfect launching on all runs.. lost to a supercharged vios, an alfa romeo 33, and a mivec.. lose by half a car to all.. all fast cars.. but then again.. if only the roads were longer.. i wud have beaten em all.. short sprints are not the car's fav dish.. give it winding roads and track circuit.. it'll give u more than what u could take.. as for me.. i may not drive it hard all the time.. but when i do.. i really gave it my all.. like wat a true alfisti told me once.. "the QV name is one name u should live up to. if u cant, give it up to someone who deserves it".. its true.. after all the hard driving.. i discovered that i learned more about the car, drive after drive.. just gotta keep on driving.. hahahah.. owh.. and after each run.. the car feels faster.. engine feels lighter.. car handles better.. maybe its just me getting familiar with my bella..

how has work been so far? all is fine.. am enjoying it.. still need to improve on some areas.. a lot of things need to be sorted out.. a couple of backdated tasks needs to be completed too.. all in all.. everything seems to be in order.. everything under control..

but i'm still broke.. too bad..
