80 cent more? Come on...

It was 10 pm when I told my dearest hubby that the petrol price will increase tomorrow and I want to fill my car tank. He confidently said that the price hike will be in August. Disappointed, I watched TV. Suddenly at 11.20pm, he came telling me that what I said earlier was true. (It took few geeks at LowYatt.Net to make him believe that). Franticly, we rushed to the nearest petrol station.

Boy, the scene was a chaos. Hundreds of car from various area tried to cram into the Shell petrol station. Then we decided to go to next petrol station. It was lucky that Bangi has a lot of petrol station. Lastly we managed to queue at Petronas. It was almost 12am.
My dearest hubby was lining up in front of me. After filling the his car, it was my turn. By the time I parked in front the petrol kiosk (or whatever you call that thing), the Petronas man was pointing at the price. Oh my God, the price has gone up. I just missed few minutes. Damn it!

But I filled up the new expensive petrol anyway. Just to know how much has I missed. I realized it was a lot. Before this, RM50 can get 3/4 tank which equivalent to 26 litres. But now, RM50 won't get 1/2 of the tank of my car which equivalent to 18 litres only. AAAARRRRGGGGHHH!

I was so pissed off that when I suggested that we need to carpool, my dearest hubby has to agree. Kesian him, has to wake up early to send to work today. But I got the feeling that today is the only day we'll carpooling. It's kind of hard to car pool when I'm having a boss from hell like mine.

Pak Lah, can we have alternative energy for our car (Beside NGV)? Could we have the liberty to buy hybrid car like Toyota Prius? And where the hell is the car that use 50% water 50% petrol that was launch last (or last 2 years)? Why we need to protect Petronas so much? Life is getting expensive yet the salary remain the same. Sigh...

On bright side, my bunny Choki was extremely friendly with me, which rarely happen as he was closer to Zainal than me. It's as if he understand my anger and sadness. He was playing cheerfully by my side, jumping up and down on my lap and cheer me up a little bit. That's another reason why I love animals. They do understand us in some ways.
