the day it was..



i didn't get to blog this the day it happened as i was a bit out of shape yesterday *grin*



but here it is..

Our PM announced the pump jump of RM0.78 per litre.. and the whole nation.. went bonkers. i knew this was coming.. at 18:00 i received txt messages and phone calls reminding me to fill up the tank.



it was the rush to the pump.. and true enough.. this tiny town was flooded! almost every petrol station was jammed w/ citizens trying to get the last discount *hee*

so i went ahead.. not to fill my tanks (the que is not worth my RM0.78 *LOL*).. but to watch the frenzy.. some of the pics were no good.. yela.. amik pics while driving.. cane kan? itupun dekat nak sodok kete depan.. hehe!



i just don't get it.. like, how long can this full tank last? probably even shorter then the time spent queuing up to fill it. this time the Malaysians have really outdone themselves. i mean.. it is expected, the price jump i mean. the whole world is facing it.. hello??? you are not the only one. we are still one of the cheapest. ok so it is pricy, but can we really complain when it is a necessity.. we don't have a substitute do we (hybrids aside.. )?



Malaysia memang boleh.. *LOL*

ok, i will shut my gob now.. i can imagine the hate mail coming.. *LOL*

well..
not everyone have the luxury of filling up petrol full tank each visit..some of us need to budget.
But when the announcement came in coincidently maybe some of them were running low in fuel, so had no choice.

Imagine..my full tank used to cost RM 110..now it's RM160!! Thant's alot u know!!

just my 2 cents worth :p
