Hidden Treasures

Finally, I am back from Bako National Park.

And someone really went for this trip, god bless. Everything ran normally and there was no quarreling among them. Maybe they had settled their things under the table. They just seemed great.

I gained a lot of experience from this trip and it’s really a good try if you have never been there. Naughty monkeys are everywhere hanging on the trees to sitting by the bench waiting for you to feed them. Not only that, stupid babi hutans running here and there around you for nothing. And one thing I am sure about babi hutans is that they like Julie’s brand peanut biscuits. LOL!

Well, more photos will be uploaded soon as I am really tired now. Good night!

Next destination: Santubong

It’s really scary when I saw someone gets angry just now.

Actually we planned properly to go Bako just now. But someone is not comfortable with Wen Ching who did not tell him properly about everything. Maybe everything is in a rush and he is neglected. But Wen Ching did explain to him one more time that he forwarded the news to everyone and did not know that someone will really understand what he reads.

Well, this misunderstanding continued until just now when Wen Ching was trying to sms me to complain about someone, he accidentally sent wrong message to someone. Then someone decided not to go because of that message he read. I know he will feel more and more angry and frustrated for what Wen Ching has sent.

I asked Wen Ching to apologise to him and ask him not to be so angry for what he has done. Well, the result is still the same. He was stubborn enought by saying not going to Bako. I felt not nice also. He is our friend and we should not neglect him for such trip during holidays. We should be happy.

Then I tell Wen Ching not to worry because someone is still on fire. Means he still feel angry and not ready to forgive Wen Ching yet. I asked Wen Ching to sms him again the next morning when he is really cooled down.

I really hope he can go for this trip as he is really nice to be with. Maybe just his behaviour that we are not common with due to his family background perhaps. I hope you can change your attitude and stop being childish. You have grown up. You are an adult. Think maturely. I know you can.

Once again, I hope you can go with us. Hope to hear your good news tomorrow. See ya.

This is not what I write. But I think it’s true.

Can A Family Man With Salary RM3,000 Survive In Malaysia …!

Let’s do some simple calculations here.

In Malaysia , the average family income isRM3,000 /month
(where father works, mother doesn’t).

I understand there are many families whose
monthly income does not reach RM3,000,
but, to make things simple,
let’s take RM3,000as the figure. Ok lah, right?

Okay, let’s start rolling with a family which has
Papa, Mama, 1 daughter and 1 son. Ngam-ngam ….

Calculation starts…

Electricity and water bill: RM100
(No air-con, No home theatre, No water heater … ok?)

Phone bill ( Telekom): RM100
(Internet streamxy RM68 + land line RM25 = RM93, round-up to RM100 la)

Meals for a happy family: RM775
(3 meals on RM25/day 4 persons.  Forget about makan in restaurant ya)

Papa makan / teh-tarik during working hrs: RM155
(RM5/day, RM5 … can eat what?)

Car repayment: RM400
(A proton saga aeroback, 7 yrs repayment)

Petrol (living in city, traffic-jam) :RM300
(go to work, bring son to school, only can afford one car running. NO YET CONSIDER PETROL INCREASE 40.8%)

Insurance: RM650
(Kids, wife and self. Forget about insurance la..no money to pay, lets drop it)

House repayment: RM750
(low cost housing repayment for 30 yrs, retired still have to work to pay!)

Tuition: RM80
(got that cheap meh? i don’t think so)

Older children pocket money @ school: RM20
(RM1/day, eat bread?)

School fees: RM30
(enough ah?)

School books and etc: RM100
(always got extra to pay in school)

Younger children milk powder: RM50
(cannot have the DHA, BHA, PHA one, expensive)

Miscellaneous: RM100
(shampoo, rice, sauce, toilet paper, saman, etc)

Oh wait!!! I have to stop here, so…
No Astro,
no movie @ cinema,
no DVD,
no CD,
no toys
no computer,
no KFC, no McDonald,
no insurance
no jalan-jalan makan angin (vacation)
no chit chat on phone with grandparents, and etc…
nothing breaks down for repair
Let’s use a calculator to total up… WALAO EH! Shit!RM2,960already…

EPF belum potong, income tax lagi…….. oledi RM2,960 ….

How to survive lah tuan-tuan dan puan-puan sekalian ???

Our Deputy Prime Minister asked us to change lifestyle?

How to change? Don’t eat? Don’t work? Don’t send children to school and study?
Besides that, I believe in Malaysia population, there are millions of rakyat Malaysia which still don’t earn RM3,000/month! !!
What is this? Inilah Malaysia Boleh…Sorry… it should beMalaysians Boleh, because we’re still alive and kicking!!

Our politicians must be mad!!!!

Please forward and comment boleh or tak boleh. No wonder so many Ah Long around lah….

Germany just pawned Portugal with 3-2 in Quarter Final. Portugal was knocked out. Germany will be going into the Final and it will be a nice match. Must watch.

Going to Bako National Park next week. Will update soon.

Oil price, especially petrol price has increased few days ago. Everyone is crazying pumping petrol into the car when it is announced the price will increase the next day.

Personally speaking, I think this is not fair especially for Sarawakians. Miri as known as the petroleum city produced gallons of petroleum and to be exported to other county. And yet, west Malaysia did not contribute to any of these petroleum activities, thus using a lot of petrol from other countries. I reckoned that west Malaysia has been using a lot of petrol more than Sabah and Sarawak. Obviously, west Malaysia has highways and probably the population is more than Sabah and Sarawak.

Well, transportation over Peninsular Malaysia is not a problem at all because there are a lot of public transport like buses and trains. Unlike Sarawak, bus transportation is a big problem. Rarely got people want to use buses to go to town. Not many highways over here. No trains. The increased price is really a burden to all the people over the Borneo island.

Price has increased. Car price has never changed. Should have marked down the car price right? They never bother. Oh NO!! How to survive… Getting crazy.
