Is there enough space for breathing?

Can things get any worse? The floods, the increasing bank loan interest rate, the crimes, the traffic, the oil price, oh, gahmen, hit us, hit us hard, c'mon, give us your best shot! Fine, we will change our lifestyles, if you change yours too. KEEP your promise for a change will ya hunny? Angry hor... Gahmen say it's for the development of the nation, why not invest in Proton and Perodua to design solar-powered cars? Hor hor? Why fund RM3mil to send some lecturer to North Pole expedition? Sigh.. the gahmen and its people, such a complicated relationship. We ain't see eye to eye but we have no choice. Makes you wonder doesn't it, where is all the money going to? Actually, don't have to wonder, I'm sure we all know *wink*
SO, let's change our lifestyles... again. Here's what we can do to ease our financial rock:
1. Bring back the trishaws and kereta lembus. The kids will love it too! Fun ride for everyone, everyday! Yippee
2. Shop at Carrefour. They are reducing their prices to help the struggling public like you and me.
3. Instead of 4 maids, just hire 3 maids... Oops, sorry, this is for the high-society-rich-people-who-probably-are-not-affected.
4. Go on diet. We are eating too much. Cut down on your growing children's food intake too. Like gahmen say, we must ALL take responsibilty, regardless of age. No more nen-nen for today! Quiet!
5. Work in Singapore or London. Yes, contribute your power to another country. After all we are a patriotic bunch.
6. Save on new clothes. Wear our parent's hip-n-happening clothes in the 60's and 70's, if they still keep it. Don't forget the shoes.
7. Car pool. And drive without air-con to save fuel. Throw that hair-dryer away, woo hoo!
8. Stop going to cinemas. If you have to watch a movie, get the pirated DVD. Eh, wait, gahmen don't allow leh. Ah, go to hell la.
9. Take train to work, the gahmen says. For those other states without LRT, your problem. That includes people of Johor, Malacca, Seremban, Kedah, Perlis, Penang, Perak, Terengganu, Kelantan, Pahang, Sabah and Sarawak. Eh, this ain't right..
And last but not least.... 10. Stay patient and loyal to our gahmen. Pay our taxes on time. Tolerate the stupidities and unreasonable policies. Accept the way things are. Gahmen must also accept the 'fingers' from the people.

Have a good weekend!
