Cycling to work, working to dive?

Effective tonight, petrol will be 78 sen higher for every litre.Diesel RM1 more for each litre. follow by electricity tariffs increase 20%.

i am not surprise if Laksa Auntie will increase the price of her laksa again tomorrow, just like what she did few months ago, when chicken and pork's price soaring a while ago.
(eventhough there is little chicken floss and no pork in laksa).

yesterday morning, when friends and colleagues asked me what is the latest update on the fuel price, i told them what i read from paper, it is likely to increase up to 50% or more, but only will be implemented in August.

the response is, we all have to save money to buy bicycle soon. later around 5pm, i was told pm is going to hold a press conference annoucing the new subsidy fuel price, but east malaysia will be exempted!!!!!

an hour later, the shocking news was confirmed (no privilege for east malaysians), so as the need to buy a bicycle. but, just not enough time to look for a suitable and cheap 2nd hand bike, as everyone was rushing to the petrol stations.

I am so happy that i had just filled my tank in the afternoon. when everyone was talking about the price, transportation cost,....where to buy cheap bike, when to start cycling to work ..... bla bla bla ..... but all i think about is the cost to go scuba diving. (i know...)

with the fuel hike, transportation cost to go scuba diving, (car + boat) will increase as well, which makes this costly sport even more expensive now.

i am pretty sure the cost i save on fuel every month can pay for my trip to go diving. but i am not sure whether cycling to work will effect my performance, or punctuality to every assignment, and eventually loss my job. and without my job, i cannot even pay for Laksa Auntie's rip off!!!

all malaysians, especially hard core divers, are in deep trouble now!
