WOW very canggih

After a sleepless night and i opened my eyes at 6am and decided I needed to go see the doctor. I can't go to work. My whole body is aching, my eyes hurt and my head feels like its going to burst.

I went to see the dr and he told me that I have pressure - high!!!! and I have to take care. He gave me some anti-anxiety pills to take at nite to soothe my nerves and hopefully able to sleep.

On my way back, I decided to stop at Mc D for brekkie. I took the set of egg mcmuffin.
I found something, the tea cup or holder or whatever you call it so canggih(sophisticated) one.

Check this out :-



1) The Cup side View


















2) Notice the cap that closes the open are for the liquid to flow out? The flap can be opened up. Notice the bulging top? and the hollow dented in section at the top?











3) flip it over the top and press it to the hole wa la... don't need to hold the flap wor. So canggih hor... i am impressed. The cup used to be different.












4) Top view.












I am impressed!!!

The Aftermath of Fuel Hike - Has your lifestyle change?

Its now about 1 week plus since the fuel hike of 41%. Its quite a steep raise as we all can tell.
Since then, if you open the papers, you would see people esp those politicians asking us to change our lifestyle.

I was one of the first, who said I can't change my lifestyle as I don't even have a luxurious lifestyle now.

But I have to say this. Since the fuel hike, I have been more aware how and where I spend my money.

One of the most significant steps which I have taken is my food consumption. I now think about wastage more than ever. Now when I eat mcD, I will actually ask for a plastic bag to take away the fries when I couldn't finish. I used to just leave the unfinished fries on the tray and walk away. Thats one. When I go and eat those "chap farn" I will actually take only what I can eat and not more. Cut down on the number of dishes taken. It may seem like very small steps but at least I am taking those baby steps to help stop wastage.

Also on shopping, now i think really hard before I buy something. I see a pair of nice shoes, I will think twice before i buy it. One thing that really crop up in my mind is - Do I really need another pair??? YEAH I DO!!! kidding........... hehee

So what have you done to change your lifestyle to help with the fuel hike woes?

Tougher Times

Today , the govt announced the increased in the price of fuel. The price will be RM2.70 midnite tonite (5th of June) and whats terrible is that before that like few hours / 1 day before, we were given the impression, the increase won't come until Aug.

Spiral effect is coming. Imagine we are already paying higher cost for food becoz of increase in price of rice and now this? Gosh.. a plate of nasi lemak will cost RM10??

I don't know, but I know that I am disappointed with what has happened and whats with all the broken promises.

I worry for my future now! I need to spend more on these essential things. SAD!!!!!

Surging cost of living

Prices are rising from essential food items such as rice to fuel prices.
Lunches are going up by at least 20% per plate/bowl/entree. It sucks i tell you.
Further to that, we are bracing for the announcement tomorrow on the new fuel subsidy structure. I think we can only hope for the worse. Can you imagine once fuel go up. Gas for cooking and such will sky rocket too. I am so fearful for my future. I don't think my increment can actual cover the raising cost. Not only that I would need to increase the monthly allowance which I give to my mom and my dad.

Whats happening actually? Is the fuel prices going up due to speculation?

Today some idiota made comments about how since rice is going up, people would need to cut other expenses such as book, etc - excuse me books??? Really tho' I think i belong to the handful of people who actually buy books and read them. In this country, people don't really read. Its not part of their normal habits. :P I don't think i will forgo buying books but probably buy less and probably go rent more. Since I breeze thru them you know and sometimes seems like such a waste of money. But I like to read!!!!!
