Malaysia Petrol Price Increase to RM2.70/litre 4th June 2008

Yesterday (Wed) I took leave because need to go down KL for some family business things, 5 of us going include my parents, me and my gf and my dad's admin. We depart from penang at 7am in the morning and we stop at Ipoh for our breakfast around 8.30am. My mum was complaining that i am driving too fast and she felt uncomfort so my dad took place when heading to KL.

We reach KL and start to do their "Shopping" as u can see from the picture below.







Look at the hand bag, its a classic car 3D handbag and i got no idea who will take this handbag out.. I will be definately be the first one to laugh, luckily my gf is not this handbag's lover...
After few hours, we left and heading to the other place, that is textiles company.. this textiles company supplying to my dad since the first day my dad start his business many many years back. The boss of the textiles company which name John Su is damn great sales people, not everyone can "fight" with him, his salesmanship is good to learn up..


My dad and mum is picking those textiles that needed for new design, it is a knowledge also for choosing the material because you must make sure the textiles provides comfort for customer. i notice that my dad's design is to make customer says "wah..comfortable lo, song lo" when customer trying the dress.
Along the work, we are talking about the petrol price where going to increase at august according to newspaper but i keep receiving sms saying that will increase on that day itself, all of us making phone calls non stop asking when increase, how much increase lah, this lah that lah.. go pump here lah, must pump lah, why the government like that lah, should be like that lah....haha
We left KL at around 6.30pm and there is a little bit traffic jam, we plan to have our dinner at Tg Malim where there is a restaurant is very nice, we reach Tg Malim and suddently the traffic huh, look at the picture, at first we thought is blocking or accident, but it is not.. it is the incident that we keep discussing in the car, THE INCREASE OF PETROL PRICE. Everyone wanted to pump petrol and the traffic suck as can view at pic below.

We trap in the jam around 30 minutes and finally we reach the dinner place, all of us was very hungry, no body talking because all hunger for food only, the restaurant is close, WTF!! no choice we eat Bak Kut Teh at nearby since no choice d, 5 person cost around RM5o, this is quite expensive wei...
After that we continue our way home back to pg, halfway we stop at highway for petrol filling because no jam in highway petrol station, and also this may help saving some money..i reach the pump and saw previous vehicle pumped RM400 at 253 litre where this is Diesel user.



Reach home 11.30pm and sleep since tomorrow is a working day for everyone...
