A Fresh New Day, New Month and New Year
This is what happened on the eve of New Year’s Day.
After we got ourselves 2 pints of Baskin Robbin’s ice-cream, we headed to the petrol kiosk as Hubby has received numerous smses on the price increased for petrol. As usual, we expected a horrendous queue at the kiosk.
I went to bed as I don’t intend to stay up for the countdown while Hubby and Prince stay up to watch Cars on Disney Channel at 11:00pm. I was awaken by the midnight fireworks from the nearby newly opened mall when the clock strike 12. I dozed off again.
This time, I was rudely awaken from my slumber by fireworks again. I cursed under my breath at 1 o’clock in the morning! The thunderous sound tells me that the fireworks is just a stone throw from my house. I went and check from my room window and saw the fireworks sparked right before me. I told myself, “what the heck. Since I am already up, might as well go get a shots or two with my dSLR.” I quickly ran downstairs, grab my cam, changed the lens and dashed out the door. Hubby thought I was walking in my sleep! Muahaaahaaa! Cos I heard him asking where am I going. I don’t have the time to answer him as the fireworks has been going on for quite a while. I need to be quick before it stop. Anyway, common sense wat – camera + fireworks = take photo la.
I only managed to get one shot. That’s it. The fireworks display ended. I cursed under my breath again and went to bed.
The next day when Hubby came home from a golf session with Datuk, he said, “Cilaka wan. Petrol price did not increase.”
I just laugh.
He added, “Datuk laugh at me. He say election is coming soon. There won’t be any price increase as of now.”

Prior to election, the cabinet will not increase the price of petrol though the barrel price is increasing ostentatiously. It is a trick so that the people will vote for them because once you’ve increased the price, people might grumble and curse under their breath. It’s often a tactic used by politicians in order to gain votes.
Anyway, Happy New Year again!
