本来想着去怡保游泳,看见现在的气候,就开始很’限‘ 的感觉。如果花了七元五角钱到了泳池,突然雷电交加,就得上岸,八块钱就这样泡汤了。刚才看见星报的报道说玛玛档的拉茶降价,还是不能抵消这近十元的消费。
所以,就在镇上,从街头走到街尾,去邮政局是钥匙,结果,打了把钥匙不能开也邮箱,这把比较便宜,rm2.5,之前在巴生打的那把,真要命,那个锁头佬是干啥的,厚薄都分不出,简直就是要钱。可是,我每天都是从他的门前经过。他算我rm 3.5哦。今天想了一个下午,算了,就别退回去了,也不见得他会再弄的好。
那把在镇上打的也开不了,下午就是这样上下的走。一趟后就行了,师傅还不错,呵呵,其实,天天都经过的啦,没打招呼。
把花踪奖比赛的稿寄出了,是心愿。不带任何的期望,已经再接洽另一个出版商。得将的作品未必可以卖的好。在邮政局呆了近两个小时,人潮才少下来,就是赶着去提那些什么汽油调高后的回扣。本人是无产阶级,不理那么多。反正邮政局里是空调了,冷气机在发威,有点冷,就在那里给老慢再写信,也和两个‘风采’的学生短讯息来往。
一天就过去了。没有啥大事。健康,快乐。
Waited for about two hours to see the quene shortened. They went to the post office to redeem or cash the rebate of the petrol allowance made earlier when the pertrol prices were up.
What made me more happy than not was the annoucement from the mamak roti canai, read it.

Roti canai, teh tarik and fried chicken to cost 10 sen to 50 sen less
KLANG: Restaurateurs have begun to reduce food prices of local favourites like the roti canai, teh tarik, fruit juices and fried chicken to lure customers.
The customers will now pay between 10 and 50 sen less for the items in most Indian restaurants.
Roti canai is down to 90 sen from RM1.20, while teh tarik is RM1.40 now, compared to RM1.50 earlier.
Malaysian Indian Restaurant Owners Association president Datuk R. Ramalingam Pillai said prices of other dishes would also be reduced in the coming months.
“Our association, which has 1,300 members, decided to bring down the prices to cater to current times,” he said, adding that the reduction did not incur losses for the operators, but merely cut into their profits.
He said fruit juices had been reduced by 20 sen to RM3.80, and fried chicken from RM4.50 to RM4. Because of this, he said, many youngsters were returning to their restaurants.
“Fried chicken, teh tarik and roti canai are Malaysian favourites, especially for the yuppies,” said Ramalingam. He said while cooking oil prices had dropped, those of spices had gone up by 250%.
“We will have to consider all angles before announcing further price reductions.”
Selangor Consumer Welfare Association secretary Jeyakumar Varatharajoo said the association was pleased with the restaurateurs’ move and hoped prices of food such as veetu tosai, idli, spring hoppers and puttu (that used less oil) would also be reduced to encourage healthy eating habits.
Government Pensioners Association Klang branch president Bhagat Singh said the price reduction was good news as most senior citizens found it convenient to eat out. However, he urged restaurants to not reduce the portions when serving. “Most of the time, when prices are reduced, the roti canai becomes smaller and the teh tarik glass holds less tea.
“We call upon consumers to exert their right by not patronising restaurants that overcharge or reduce their servings.”
