Fuel increases to RM2.70 per liter causes traffic jam

So fuel is announced to be increase by midnight. I was reading the papers this morning and I thought the increment will only be in August. Then I received a sms from my cousin in the evening while driving home from work. A sms reading “Fuel will increase to RM2.70 per liter by midnight”. I was like “Phew! I filled up my tank this morning therefore I will not have to stuck the queues in petrol stations”. But alas, I was caught in the jam due to the queues in petrol stations. It took me 2 hours to reach home when usually it will take only half an hour. I really wonder if all these people are having empty tank in their cars or just pumping RM10-RM30 just to fill up.

Lucky my car’s fuel consumption is quite low. With 41% increment, I need extra RM123 every month. I’m sure everything else will increase pretty soon. But how come our pay never increase?! I know if I proposed this matter to my boss, he would probably say “How come the company’s revenue never increase?!”

While blogging on this post, I have a look outside from my balcony. The jam is still very bad and the sound of honks *annoying*
