OK. I don’t know how to say this but semenjak petrol naik harga, I’ve always calculate whatever it is yang hendak di beli.
“Perlu ke beli barang tu? Mana lagi murah? Price per volume, is it a value buy?”

Itu belum masuk langkah naik bas untuk balik KL every week. Come to think of it, memang murah balik naik bas. Tapi I couldn’t clock the extra hours at home just to take the bus the night before work. Cost balik KL naik kereta: petrol = RM60, toll = RM33 menjadikan jumlahnya = RM93. Almost RM100 kalau you kira air nesacafe tin yang selalu beli kat Petronas Seremban (sometimes I even slept there if I’m too tired or start driving late) or lain-lain makanan. Kos naik bas? RM19 pergi dan balik.
At one point dulu, a few months before, I thought I was having THE life. Travel with no qualms, sekali-sekala pegi makan sedap, not to mention balik KL naik my tRUSTY ol’ Volvo kan. But when the fuel price naik, nak makan nasi 2x sehari pun dah fikir 2x. Harga makanan kat kedai (prepared food) dah naik sikit. Sepinggan nasi campur yang dulunya RM3, mungkin dah naik RM4. Ikut lauk la. As for me, I’m a simple eater. Nasi separuh, satu meat and satu sayur. Cukup. Air suam. Now malam-malam dah tak makan kat kedai. Kalau ya pun, capati kedai mamak yang aku akan mintak parpu dia banyak-banyak, or gulung roti sendiri kat rumah. Yes, gulung roti. Beli that roti bentuk cam capati (glamourously called tortilla) tu, sumbat la to your heart’s content. For starters, aku sumbat fish fingers, fresh tomatoes and some sayur butterhead. Bukan some la, kembung roti tu aku sumbat sayur ok! Hey, fibers fills you up apa!
I don’t know la. The recent price hike is going to hit hard on most Malaysians. I know this may sound too cliché, but percaya atau tak, buktinya akan kelihatan on the streets nanti. Orang terdesak akan buat apa saja tau. Itu belum kira graduate yang baru masuk workforce on a meager pay of around RM1,400 a month. Jangan mimpi la nak pakai kereta. Satu masa dulu, boleh gak tengok new young exec bawa kelisa ke, wira ke, waja ke. Skang ni, bagi free pun tak tentu nak lagi.
Haih, entah la. Aku kata, ikat perut je la. Takyah membazir beli barang tak perlu. Seluar tu kalau dah koyak kat celah kangkang, baru ganti. Haha. Tissue paper kat rumah, beli aja house brand (tesco, giant etc). Makanan? Ikut saranan Ungku Aziz: makan banyak makanan berserat. And tukar mentol rumah pakai energy saving bulb. Tutup suis yang mana tak pakai. Jangan put your tv on standby. Kereta petrol/diesel tukar pakai CNG (compressed natural gas). Skip starbucks/coffeebean. If you have to, bancuh kat rumah aja. Cycle to work. Take up public transportation if you can. Bagi yang bujang, jangan duduk rumah lama-lama. Ia membazir elektrik dan air. Lepak ofis saja. Main internet free atau game dalam keselesaan air-cond free. Kompeni yang bayar, tak apa. Balik untuk tidur saja. Haha! OK lah, aku nak balik rumah untuk tidur.
