China cuts domestic petrol prices

Jan 15, 2007 in Mumblings

Unlike China, Malaysia will only revise price upwards….rather than following the market. When will we see “Malaysia cuts domestic petrol prices” on our newspapers’ headlines? Probably never. It’s kinda sad to see Malaysians fight when petrol prices went up, but kept quiet when global prices went down.

IF Malaysians do protest for a downwards revision, guess what our Government will say?

“Global prices down… we are not making as much money as we used to… so we cant subsidies for rakyat…”

Found their lair

Jan 05, 2007 in Tips, Mumblings

ThisĀ  follow up to my previous post on my white ants problem. We finally located their “home”, which is in our storeroom. It looks so disgusting and with my very limited vocabulary, I couldn’t find a word to describe what I saw. First up, is a photo of my storeroom after removing all the ‘junk’…

Store room

ya… i know, it looks bad. Wondering how much stuff we kept in there? Here is just 70% of them!!

Junk!

Well, I think it is about them we clean them up. Chinese New Year is coming anyway. Somehow, it is a good thing this happen, if not my dad would be keeping his ‘important stuff’ for another 10 years. There are some casualties, for example a lot of our photos were damage (another reason why we should keep the negatives or scan and upload to a RELIABLE server or Gmail archive them).

The tips of the day? Clean you store room yearly and put some pesticide which is effective against termites!
