Gym freak CANT cope with LIFE with SUDDEN INCREASE of petrol price


I left the office at 6.45pm. I reached home at 7.40pm.
My friend is still stuck in the jam for 2 hours.
With the sudden jerk of petrol price, the consumers made the condition first by queueing up on endless queues in all PETROL STATIONS NATIONWIDE.
I'm so pissed with the attitude.
Even if the change would cost Rm30 (It's only a few meals.), they caused massive HUGE jam.
People were stuck for 2 hours unnecesarily.
We got to learn to overcome this in a long run.
We need to re-plan our finances.
On desperate case, I dont mind car pool with 2 other ppl in the office.
Right now, I'm car pooling with 1 person.
Now, to decrease my expenses on petrol, I need to find ways to cut further more.
I used to need approx RM3.50 to work, now it's RM5.
Rm5x22 working days = Rm110.
+ driving out for lunches = RM3x10 = Rm30?
Church, activities, entertainment on any other days = Rm100?
Not only that, as long as my pay is not increasing much (less than 5%... )
this is just another sign of INFLATION and bad economy.
our resources is running out.
and WHY is DUBAI wasting so much $$ ?

Dubai is one of those countries with the social mentality of "I do it BECAUSE I can". Perhaps a fraction of them have more common sense, but then again, the government encourages this behavior by paying it's citizens who aren't working.

The hike in fuel price is ridiculous in both execution and the reasons behind it. Raise the fuel price, provide a rebate later? Damn it, we need the rebate now!!

Current State of Affairs in Malaysia is steadily spiraling on a downward trend, thanks to the inefficient stewardship of Malaysia by the existing government. Bet the PM failed his Economics and Social Studies classes in school..

What's the Difference between 'Net' and "Nett"

Since it's part of my group's job to publish daily billings report to the management, our Director (from US) pinpointed that we should fix the spelling of 'nett billings' to 'net billings'. My colleauge was looking at google, trying to understand the 'right' spelling to be used. I finally checked it from Wikipedia , and found that 'nett' is BRITISH and 'net' is AMERICAN. No wonder he's offended to fix it to 'net'! C'mon. I'm in an american MNC, I should be more sensitive towards this.

An Encounter with Gelatissimo

It was an eventful Saturday afternoon. I had an 'appointment' with Gelatissimo , Gurney Plaza, Penang. I have always wished to try gelatos there (since Lecka Lecka has gone for good) and it's the ONLY store serving gelatos in Penang (I think). There you go.. I'm going to blog on my 'encounter' with Gelatissimo. First and foremost, consumers need to be educated the difference between ice-cream (Haagen dazs, Baskin Robbins, Walls etc) and Gelatos. Gelatos is italian frozen ice dessert and the method of making it is different from ice cream . Basically, gelatos has less cream than ice cream and it has higher density (the molecules are nearer as compared with ice cream). Most importantly, I think the fat content is less as it has more original food as compared with ice cream (usually with articificial coloring and flavours). The friendly staff posing for camera. The girl in spectacles would always asked me if I would like to try their flavours. To be honest, I trie...
