The Craps Strike Back


Petronas

What A Boring and F*#k Up Day!!!Just got back from hangin' out with my old skewlmate at Shah Alam. Before i went to meet them, i stop by at Caltex for some gas. I was shocked when i read the price per litre which is RM1.62. At first i thought that the price at Caltex station was expensive, since i've always used Petronas. So i didn't pay much attention about it. After hangin' out with my frens, i've got several messages at my Yahoo Messenger sayin that the price for fuel rise again. I thought it was just a rumour but then, after i message one of my fren, he gave me a url bout fuel prices up again...here is some detail i've got:-

The government Saturday announced increases in the retail price for diesel, petrol and LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) by 20 sen, 10 sen and five sen per litre effective Sunday.

The Prime Minister's Office, in a press statement tonight, said the increase was part of government efforts to tackle the impact of the increase in the crude oil price in the world market and to check the increase in subsidy which the government had to bear.

With the latest increase, the retail price for premium petrol (RON97) in Peninsular Malaysia is now RM1.62 per litre, petrol (RON 92) RM1.58 per litre, diesel RM1.281 per litre and LPG RM1.45 per kilogram.

In Sabah and Sarawak, the new retail price for RON 97 is RM1.60 and RM1.61 per litre respectively, RON 92 RM1.58 in both states, while diesel is RM1.284 and RM1.278 per litre respectively while LPG is RM1.53 per kilogram in both states.

This is the second time the government had announced increases in the prices of petroleum products within a two-month period. The last price increase was in May.

At the same time, the government also announced a 20 sen increase in the subsidy for fishermen from 44.1 sen to 64.1 sen per litre. This means that fishermen will be able to buy subsidised diesel at around RM1.20.

This was because the government was very concerned about the burden borne by fishermen who were buying subsidised diesel at a much higher price compared to the price enjoyed by land transport operators.

Damn it, f*#k the prime minister, f*#k the ministers, f*#k the government. They think that people who are not fishermen are wealthy like them. It really bothers me since my college is very far from my home. When i was using my kancil, it only took me rm10 a day to travel to my college. But then i had to send my brother to school, it took me rm15 a day. And now, it will took me rm20 a day and if i add it with the toll which is rm2 per day, it will cost me rm22 to go to my college per day. What a f*#k up budget. Luckily for me, i'm nearly grad and i only had to go to my college 3 times a week but still, the fuel prices is really a big issue in Malaysia. What a f*#k up day....chalee~~

A Crappy Blues - Tribute to Lifehouse


"You And Me"

What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

All of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words
You've got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

There's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive




Lifehouse
-You and Me-
“You know when you start to fall for someone but you’re not sure if they return the feeling?”


Am i bored today?You and Me, currently one of my favourite songs. I really recommend you'll listen to this song, really beautiful. Well here's a bit bout Lifehouse that i found out through their official website.

Lifehouse a rock band fronted by guitarist-singer, Jason Wade, powered by drummer Rick Woolstenhulme and transformed with the addition of bassist-singer Bryce Soderberg. When asked what kind of music can be found on Lifehouse’s third album (simply titled Lifehouse), Jason Wade pauses and says, “the kind of music I like to write. That’s one of the great things about having done a couple of records. I don’t second-guess myself anymore. When I’m writing, I’m not trying to please everyone. My first question is: Do I like it?”

Wade began writing songs around the time of that primal upheaval, and the craft is what sustains him to this day. “I write as much as possible, all the time,” he says. “I love writing. It’s my favorite part of all this.”

“I grew up not really listening to much music,” he points out. “But my mom turned me on to the Beatles, and they changed my life. I became obsessed with them. How can you not be? They’re the best of the best.” Delving deeper into the pop pantheon, he discovered the works of Todd Rundgren, Badfinger, the Raspberries and other masters of the form.

None of the members of Lifehouse ever attended a high school prom. So it's ironic that now they've appeared in one on TV's "Smallville" and were the resident band at a real-life San Diego prom two years.

"It was just strange because I never went to high school. I was home-schooled, so I was just basically playing my guitar and cheating from my cheat sheets," says lead singer Jason Wade. "It was just weird playing and then having people slow-dance to your music. That's really strange. I remember we played 'Something' by the Beatles, and someone came up to us afterwards and said, 'I love that Elvis song that you played.' I'm like, 'These kids today need to go buy some Beatles records.' "

And no girls even asked him to dance. "I think they just wanted us to get offstage so they could go make out afterwards," Wade adds with a laugh.

That wouldn't have happened five years ago, when one song - the power ballad-y "Hanging by a Moment," the most-played song of 2001 - propelled the then-19-year-old Wade into the hearts of teen girls everywhere. But after the success of 2000's "No Name Face," the somewhat arty 2002 effort "Stanley Climbfall" received mixed reactions. "You need both to balance you out and to really know what you have and make sure you appreciate it," Wade says.

The Return of The Crap


INNO-110

Almost not a boring day, but yet, Another Boring Day....yesterday i went out with my mom, took her to the hospital for her medicines, got the car serviced, went to KL Sentral and my mom booked flight tickets, after that we all went to my mom's fren house at TTDI. She have a lil' chat and then we went to One Utama, since she promised to treat me Pizza Hut. She then bought some stuff and before we went home we stopped by a shop selling handphones, and i saw a small phone which caught my interest. Just suddenly i remembered one of my so called fren message me and said that i've got a project worth RM400...so without hesitation, i asked my mom whether i could borrow her money first to buy a new phone, and surprisingly, she agreed. At first i was in doubt whether i want to take my mom's money or not, but then she sounds really supportive and at the end of the day, i've traded in my old phone and bought myself a new handphones. I was really happy since it was the first time i bought a new handphone(my last 2 phones were secondhand). I went back home and call my so called fren, and i was really surprise when he told me that he had gave the project to someone else, it was not a big deal but what i am angry was that he already make a deal with me to start a collective and partnership in web design, and he gave the project to someone else who are not part of our team. At first i can still calm down and asked him again whether the second project is available, and once again he backstab me by giving the project to the same person he gave the first project. If he could just tell me sooner, i wouldn't be this angry but what he does is like tryin to avoid me, like he had done some serious crime. That really make me angry and i felt like i've been betrayed. I trusted him and asked him whether he want to do a partnership with me, and in return, this is what i got, a backstabber. And other thing is that i've used my mom's money, so i really felt bad about it. So from now, i wouldn't trust anybody with this job, and go to hell with all my partnership. As for my mom, thanks a lot for loan me your money, and i will find a way to pay you back. You're the best, mom.

So i've bought a new handphones which is not the latest model but i think i'll be satisfied with this model, although it didn't have camera or radio, but still i like it. I always wanted a flip handphone with poly ringtones and now i finally got it. Once again thank you mom. For my backstabbing frens outthere, stop pretending and i hope you all burn in hell.Chalee~~
