It is really, really a good day for me. I manage to track down my ol' friends from Canada. Nancy, if you manage to read this, I want to say "Hallelulia". I manage to track down Carolyn Minor too but have yet to get a reply from her though. Anyway, today is good. I rate it about 8 of ten. Okay 8 and a half of ten. Got my things done, objective met. Pay is in the account. What more do I need (besides a million bucks for me to fix my car, etc)?

Back to my ol' grumblings. Sigh. For those people in Malaysia and still unaware of the gas hike, well...shame on you. Petrol price rose 30 cents per liter(Malaysian currency to those non-Malaysian readers). This means I got to cough out about 12 RM bucks just to maintain the same amount of petrol into my car. Sigh. This stinks. It vexes me. Sigh. SSSIIIGGGHHHH. I guess I won't be turning on my air-conditioning in my car now. Do you know that air-conditioning takes up a fair amount of petrol? Sigh. Either that or I need to buy a new belt, preferably with more holes for me to tighten when things gets worse. Yup. Petrol increase means transportation cost increase this, in turn, would cause EVERYTHING else go to up. So we got to brace ourselves for the inflation of everyday items. This situation reminded me of the joke I saw in a cartoon ad once. It went like this:

"I had it all. A beautiful wife. A nice big house at the sub-urbs. Insurance. Three kids, all planning to go to college. Two great cars....then I went to pump gas at the gas station. All gone."

Another one.

"Hey! I could increase the value of my car just by filling my tank to full!"

Sigh(one last time). Till next blog folks. Till next blog.
