Fuel prices down by 10sen

PUTRAJAYA: Prices of petrol and diesel are 10 sen cheaper from midnight Wednesday.

Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Shahrir Abdul Samad said the retail price of RON97 is reduced from RM2.55 per litre to RM2.45 per litre, the price of RON92 is lowered from RM2.40 to RM2.30, while diesel is reduced from RM2.50 to RM2.40 per litre..blah..blah..blah..yada..yada..yada...etc..etc..etc..so forth and so forth.

Hey the price for fuel is down by RM0.10 and I don't see any motorist queuing up at the petrol station tonite to fill up their vehicle??Why's that??I meant when fuel price went up sky-rocketing every Tom, Dick, Harry and Sally do the mad rush to any petrol station to fill up their vehicle as if by some magical chances and luck plus a dash of salt over their shoulders a leprechaun, fairy and perhaps even Santa's elfs might dissolve itself with the petrol to form the newest, latest and all mighty greatest syntactic fuel saver formula so that any Tom, Dick, Harry and Sally motorist that fill up their vehicle that night won't have to refill their vehicles again for the next 3 years or until price of fuel dropped, so why no one doing it when the fuel price came down??Oh yeah, the leprechaun, fairy and even Santa's elfs is on sick leave. No wonder no long queues at petrol station.

The logic behind it is??Trust me my dear citizens of sanity you would not like to wonder into that logic thinking. You might not come back to the land of light. I mean if the fuel price goes up no matter how much you clinch your fist, grind your teeth and hate it when your vehicle ran out of fuel you are still going to end up paying for the fuel anyways regardless the price anyways. So why the mad rush??

a. Instead of total of 30mins(or less) time for you drive, pay and fuel up at your nearest petrol station , the amount of time will increase to maybe 3 hours if you are lucky!

b. During your lucky 3 hours ordeal of getting the fuel, by the time is your turn the refill your vehicle the gas station has ran out of petrol. At that time you already used up your reserved tank. Money wasting tip 1.

c. Wasted almost 3 hours queuing up at the petrol station, not getting fuel now that will gets your blood pressure sky rocketing as the fuel price. Then proceed to drive around town to search for other available petrol station. Money wasting tip 2.

d. Found out after hours and hours of your life wasted, you finally throw in the towel and go home even angrier than before. Drive home on an near empty fuel tank. Money wasting tip 3.

e. With high blood pressure, you now need to see the doctors for some medication. Money wasting tip 4.

I guess in a way those money wasting tips does somehow generate our country’s GDP and stimulate the economy growth. It stimulate economy and population happiness by :

1. Newspaper and local news media has something to write or report about. Reporters and journalist gets to keep their job. Everyone happy.

2. Newspaper need paper, which keeps the paper mills in business. Paper mills boss happy.

3. Paper mills need illegal opss sorry..indons, pakistans and bangladaises to work. Employment rates soar. Everyone got work. Everyone happy.

4. Paper are to be made from trees, logging and illegal logging continues. Which brings us back to the need illegal opss sorry again..indons, pakistans and bangladaises to work. Employment rates soar. Everyone got work. Everyone happy.

5. Illegal get deported back to the mother land due to swift actions( usually after a few unwanted incidents such as rape, robbery and thief) by the local law enforcement agency. Local law enforcement agency gets to be/play hero. Boss happy, recruitment rates soar.

6. Law enforcement agency can ask for more funding in the next budget meeting to curb with the illegal. Politicians happy because pocket money is on the way and the law enforcement agency gets to use second rate safety equipments. More money to the top management for spending less money.

7. Businessmen are happy because supply and marked up prices for govt projects.

8. The normal citizens like you and me are happy to think that (of course not to forget the help of the local news media which did their very best pulling the wool over the public eyes and blurred the fine thin line of truth, reality and what’s going on) as we a one step safer then we were before because the local law enforcement agency is doing its job, with the supposedly top quality equipments. Refer to # 1 - 7 happiness.

9. Somewhere along the course of the happiness event, someone is getting dato-ship for being a hero or play hero, someone is getting a birthday present more on his next birthday for giving the dato-ship. Many many people happy.

10. When the citizen are happy, citizen will travel to be happier, which generates country’s economy. Everyone is really really happy.

So hooray!!Now I might miss out a few more thousand happiness steps but you get the logic, no?

I guess me just being me that I had to ask what’s the logic behind is or what’s the logic behind most things. Thank god there’s only one and only me here in the world, because if everyone in this world has my way of thinking; human civilization would be at its apex, space explorations would be a thing that we all saw in movies like star trek and star wars and of course after all that nuclear holocaust will follow suit due to boredom, stubbornness and most importantly stupidity. Think about it, if everyone in the world is like you then it will dull, boring, no fun, annoying place to live in.
