RM2.70..RM 2.70.....and rising

THIS I AGREE SO MUCH

'Let me pay market price for cars too'

On Fuel hike: 78 sen more to RM2.70 per litre

Kenny Gan: I don't mind paying market price for petrol provided I can pay market price for cars. Currently, our cars are anything but ‘market price’. We have one of the highest car prices in the world due to our abnormally high import duties on foreign cars.

I'm not talking about luxury cars either, half of what we pay for a basic family cars goes to tax. The tax component of a car will pay for the extra cost of unsubsidised petrol for the life of the car!

In a country where public transport is abysmal and most people have no practical choice but to own cars, middle-class families are being pushed to the wall. Subsidised petrol helps to offset the high installments car owners have to fork out monthly to pay for their overtaxed cars.

Many owners have to take a nine-year loan just to pay off a basic car. On top of that tolls are a heavy burden to motorists and threaten to keep going up due to one sided deals signed with toll concessionaires.

The government can do nothing about the world price of crude oil but high car prices and high tolls are definitely self-inflicted. Lack of investment in public transport rubs it in. Is this lack of urgency to improve our public transport designed to help Proton sell more cars?

The government has forced the public to own cars by mismanaging the public transport sector, inflicted a high prices for cars, burdened the motorists with extensive toll roads and now wants market price for petrol. Is this a caring government?

in a country where:
1.buses are like death rides
2.trains services from the 70's
3.non-integrated and unreliable systems of public transport

what choice do people have?

This comes with the irony of abnormally high prices of tin cans on wheels..
kancil's may only pass the safety standards of Malaysia and some random screwed up African country...

mati-lah, milo ais gonna go up in price also, because msian mamats know all too well the standard phrase of: "Minyak naik lah"

A 4 day respite

thinking on a thursday that the weekend has started is the best relief one could get really...

in the midst of listening to oasis while humming away....

Oasis - Champagne Supernova

How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you when we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky


Oasis- Lyla

Hey, Lyla!
The stars are about to fall
So what d'you say, Lyla?
The world around us makes me feel so small, Lyla!
If you can't hear me call then I can't say, Lyla!
Heaven'll help you catch me if I fall!


they say songs you grow up with are the songs you'de like most, and i say its true really, going through the 90s you'de find that tunes were amazing, the lyrics are not the rubbish you get nowadays

sure, those songs may not be that swanky, but its hummable and singable! try out current tunes live without their studio effects, you'de realise they falter, falter badly...

and now i'm third eyed blinded really...

Sunny-D's


SunnyD (originally marketed as Sunny Delight) is a popular orange-flavor drink, manufactured until recently by Procter & Gamble. It produced an estimated $450 million in revenue for Procter & Gamble in 2004, and now comes in several different flavors.

Originally manufactured as Sunny Delight by Doric Foods of Mount Dora, Florida in 1964, it grew so popular that additional plants were built in California and Ohio, in 1974 and 1978, respectively. In 1983, Sundor Brands bought out Doric Foods; Sundor brands was then purchased by Procter & Gamble in 1989. In 2005, Sunny Delight was spun off into the independent Sunny Delight Beverages Company (SDBC). The beverage is distributed by Dr Pepper/Seven Up, Inc. (DPSU). Its high concentration of sugar and citrus creates a very distinctive, syrupy taste.

wait.. wait, who am i kidding here.. Sunny Delights? make no mistake that Sunny-D is nice drink yea. BUT, this is an attempt to express the version of Sunny Delights i've encountered for the last 2 days without being too much of a pervert.. yeah, its warmer now, we get sunlight till about 8.30 ish now...

Walking on campus at a leisurely pace without freezing me balls out, basking in the sun, encountering the season where people wear less and less through the days...every year blokes will wonder whatever happened to all the smokin' hotness on campus till they encounter summer time delights... Oh yeah, its Sunny-D alrite!



oh yea, i m a leg kinda guy really!
and now, finally the board shorts and flip flops can come out!
