By 6pm, my phone had already been flooded by SMS from concerned friends and family of the bloody increase in petrol. At 4, I was still living in denial, not believing that the price of petrol can actually increase to about 2.70.
So at 6 something I dropped by the next Shell Station I could see, and filled up an empty tank with VPower... after why not, its time to give the car a little treat which might not come by anytime soon after such drastic price increases.
By brother had already smsed me that the news has confirmed the price increase. So I picked up Sayang had dinner, and traffic was unusually bad tonight. Jams caused by inconsiderate drivers wanting to fill up RM20 of their already full tank. Additionally, Klang Valley experienced some heavy downpours, causing flash floods , here there and everywhere ....
We left MidValley and had to crawl through this congestion... and for what ????
Because everyone's gonna fill up their tanks, last minute.
Everyone petrol station we passed by had a line. The queue was long but most people were just waiting for their turn to fill up. After all, we get to save RM50 - RM60 per full tank once....
Even lorries, did not want to miss out. This scene almost reminds me of a rave party.. everyone's want to have some...
Although our government will always tell us, our Petrol price is still one of the lowest in the world, we ought to also remind ourselves we also earn the least amount of money. Just look at our neighbours, Singapore.... petrol price increase but still no feel only....
Mahai, surely now we have to change our lifestyles jo... From RM1.92 to Rm2.70.... Maybe more people will set up blogs and write shit stuff about the government....

LOL... I was one of those unfortunate folks who was caught in the jam because of everyone queuing up for last minute petrol.
I can hear all the YB preaching to use tomorrow.. CHANGE LIFESTYLE-LA while they zoom off in their BMW/Mercedes...
One of the reports in the Star, did point out that, although the oil prices are lowest in the region, our average salaries, aren't high.... as such the government should be prepared for a higher crime rate, etc....
Lets hope this won't push the nation's economy into a recession as everyone will tighten their belts.
