Cost of Living


Star June 2
Raining Cash causes a stir. People scrambles for banknotes scattered on a football field. An Indonesian tycoon drops money from an aircraft costing almost RM34,000. He must has been too ‘rich’ till he does not know how to deal with his wealth.

Hey Mister, why don’t you channel the money to the needy like the Sichuan and Nargis victims….rather than ‘throwing money’ in a such a way.


What say you..?

Back in our home ground, every walk of life; old and young : chinese, malay or Indian...the talks of town is none other than “Price increase”.


Malaysian especially the lower middle income groups are struggling to make ends meet. With the rising cost of living following the hike of fuel prices, each and every Malaysians are fighting to earn a lil extra just to survive.

We are currently re-adjusting our lifestyles to match the situation. The price increase is a bitter pill to swallow. Simply too sudden and severe. Everyone was caught off guard including yours truly.

I’m now attempting to reduce my expenditure in many aspects like reducing electricity consumption, entertainments, clothes.


Except for food ….which I consider a necessity of life. I find it hard to resort to cheaper food …guess I am unable to compromise on this aspect.

I could only cut down on eating at posh restaurants. I still continue to eat out, as I don’t have much time to spend in the kitchen. In addition, cooking at home doesn’t help me to save much. On the other hand, my other household expenditures are being sized down.

Part time job….ya…am thinking of finding one. Hello Anyone out there interested to hire me..?

What a coincidence…

My recent uni assignment requires me to write an application letter & resume @ seeking for a job. I’ve completed the cover letter for a Finance Manager post….! Hahahaha - fictitious one la.

Am now trying to ‘compose’ my resume. I don’t have the qualifications to take up that position…. Saja…picked one job from the recruitment column. Finance Manager caught my fancy although I know nuts about accountancy.

As my lecturer gave us the licence to ‘bluff’ (create the letter for assignment sake)….I pun pandai-pandai la…produce one.

I’ll post my so called “application letter” in my blog later. I’m sure you’ll have a good laugh over it. Look at how impressive I am…hahaha
