The petrol hike

Yesterday, Malaysia received one of the worst news ever. The hike of the price of petrol. It's the 'everyone's-talking-about-it' matter of the day. The new petrol price would be RM2.70 a litre, a hike of 78 cents!

Imagine hearing this from me. ME, who is ignorant enough to not read the newspaper. You must realise the seriousness of the situation. Everyone is bound to feel the pinch. Food prices would certainly go up, but salary remains the same.

Oh, the craziness of the situation man. Well, of course upon the release of the news, it's only natural for everyone to race to the petrol stations to get their gas tanks pumped full of the final RM1.92 petrol. The lines at the petrol stations were exceptionally long, causing traffic congestion. Except for BHP, it seems to have not attract the crowd. I wonder why?

Ah, impeccable timing really. My internship begins on June 16, where I'd have to drive all the way to Damansara every working day. Imagine the expense. Mum would most probably ban the usage of the car from now on.

Aih ...
