Diesel smuggling/abuse of subsidized diesel price is such a big issue nowadays. Now we have a quota system for diesel. Yet, another fantastically stupid "solution" for a problem, in this case, by the federal government(specifically trade bla bla ministry). Not impressed at all by the stupidity. After all, a few weeks ago, the biggest issue in the parliament is about MAS stewardess' kebaya being to revealing and tight, too arousing for some MP's that they cant help it but to harass sexually. What sad, pathetic men.
These are trying times for us driving vehicles running on diesel. Last week, I had to wait 40 minutes, in the blazing sun, to get diesel. Thought that was bad enough. Today, I got insider's info, the highest grossing petronas gas station in Kuching is getting new supply of Diesel at aprox. 9.15 am. Damn fabulous I thought, I would go to the station 15 minutes early, escaping the queue.
Boy oh boy, was I wrong. Got there around 9, and there at the station, vehicles in a long line of at least half a kilometre, already formed. The oil truck just got there, and they only started pumping at around 10am. I only got to pump at around 11:15, by that time, the queue was as long as it has ever been. By 1pm, they were out of diesel. Many unlucky people who were queuing patiently, had to search for diesel elsewhere.
The minister who proposed this idea is an idiot. There must be other solutions. Why punish the innocent public, for sure those in the queue werent smugglers. Damn 2 hours plus in the sun to get fuel, freaking unbelievable. Cant imagine how other people, who actually have something to do, feel about this.
The car aircond was not helping at all either, to say the least, it wasnt cooling. This aircond is like a cold blooded animal, if the temperature outside is lower, it works fantastic..... if its scorching hot, it blows almost-hot air..... how irritating is that. Furthermore, if the car is not moving, for some reason, the aircond stops working and blows gradually hotter air...... maybe somthing wrong with the fan or sumthing blocked or things like that..... or maybe it is just old.
And, to add cheese with the whine, the same old story.... malaysian drivers. For me, I have no problem with younger drivers.... those who drive like lipas kudung..... potong sana potong sini.... as long as they dont meddle with my safety, I dont mind. But I have a history with old drivers.... all my accidents so far involved old people..... I find them having no common sense on the road, and having a very strange, unpredictable style of driving, to be polite. Today, I almost hit another vehicle. I must say I was not at fault, because he didnt use signal light whatsoever. There they were, the pak haji and makcik, stunned by the occasion, staring at me like I am a criminal ..... I could see their lips, pot pet pot pet.... muttering words, their genuinely innocent faces just like theyve seen a ghost....... what can you do..... a lose-lose situation. Now that wraps up my unusually long post.
