the ERP gantries will cost $1 or $2 more from july 7th onwards, in view of the skyrocketing fuel costs which the poorer ppl are struggling to cope with, i tot this annoucement came at a v bad timing. wat indeed was the MOT thinking?

a 5 kg pack of rice used to cost less than $8-9, now its almost $13. is it any wonder i always feel hungry so quickly aft lunch? why? cos the darn bowl of rice that comes in my chicken/duck rice in most hawker centres/coffee shops is only 3/4 filled.

wth!

if one drives to CBD twice (in n out daily) and each gantry cost $1 more, that is at least $40 more per month of top of the driver's current ERP cost. we r not including the petrol prices which, do u notice, the oil companies are ever so eager to raise up but when cost of oil slides, i dun see the any price adjustment. note: one barrel of oil now hovers around $120 USD. last yr it was about $75 in june.

what would be the projection price for next yr? u go figure. i dun wanna think abt it.

i dun own a car, though i sometimes borrow my dad's car n drive to ntuc pretending im james bond.

& initially i tot i would maybe get a vehicle after my income reaches $xxx amount but now, the piece of glossy metal seems more of a liability than an asset.
