Sadness part 1

I've never felt the pinch from the other petrol price increase. Never before have I gone to pump petrol when petrol price is rumoured to go up. But yesterday I brought my mom's Estima to the local pump and pump sampai penuh. I came home, my dad said, nolah, it will only go up in August, that's what the minister said. Ya right.

Today when I was driving to Actor's Studio Bangsar I saw the queue at the petrol stations. It is mad!! Today, for the first time, I wondered how much more will I pay for petrol every month. Today I wondered, how much would my pan meen cost. My favourite pan meen from Midvalley and One Utama already cost about RM5. Now what? RM 6.50?

Seriously, I am wondering why they are doing this. My bf asked me earlier on the phone, do you think there's something fishy going on? I told him that I don't think there's anything fishy, just that I cannot for the heck of me imagine why would they increase the petrol price SO MUCH! It is crazy. I am not just thinking of myself. I am wondering about those guys with very very low pay. How the hell are they gonna survive? This is really worrying.

I msged my sister to come home earlier today, because I have this feeling that there would be 'unrest'. Maybe it didn't happen today, but I have a feeling it might happen soon. I feel so sad. I'm not angry, just very sad. And scared. Told mom to replenish her stocks. As I was driving home today after a makeup gig, I kept looking around, looking for... I don't know what... everything looks different. There were more cars than usual...

Dear God, please let there be peaceful change in the country.
