Back from Kuantan

Just arrived back from Kuantan on Wednesday. A supposedly 4 hour trip at the most became a frustrating 5 hour slog in the traffic. Not only that, the Toyota Camry my family were in was pretty low on fuel. And we could not fill up anywhere because every petrol kiosk in Klang Valley was packed with desperate and 'kiasu' people trying to pump before the fuel price went up. Some petrol stations even ran out of fuel (supposedly). Now the petrol price is at a staggering all time high.
Based on The Star Online:
> Bus and lorry companies announced that they are increasing charges or will be forced to stop services;
> The Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers said its members will pass on any increase in costs to consumers;
> Hawkers and other food operators will wait and see before raising prices.

And it so happens to be World Environment Day today. The usual advice comes flooding out of newspapers and radios such as take public transport, walk instead of drive, recycle etc.

The big question is : Are you doing your part in saving Mother Nature?
The motto this year is Carbon Dioxide: Kick the Habit! - Towards a Low Carbon Economy. How?
Simple. Use less of your electronic equipment such as air-cond and don't leave computer on for long hours, etc.
Anyway, got to go for accounts tuition soon. There's a test and as expected I did not study. Wahliu, 3 hours accounts..Blimey, I will fall asleep.
