people went petrol crazy last 2 days ago. It was announced and the increase of 1.92 to 2.70 were finalized. i wasn't about to join in the ridiculous queue for petrol but was obviously stuck in the jam caused by those petrol crazy people. i was told to avoid any road that has petrol stations at the sides, and so i've paid the toll and used the highway. anyways, i've seen how people can be so funny at times.
i left my office about 8 something. it wasn't long before i realised that i made the wrong turn and ended up joining the long queue. first, there was this lorry. i figured that the driver must be feeling really frustrated with the jam and so he had decided to do something outrageous. he suddenly decide to turn over to the opposite road, trying to go up and over the divider. ended up? the lorry got stucked on that divider, not able to move at all. everyone was laughing at him, he laughed himself too and start waving to the people around him.
AND THEN, there was this guy walking down the road, knocking on every car window and passed us this card that says: " use NGV, save petrol!!". the thing is, he had walk back and forth along this (approximately 100m or so?) road and i'm still pretty much stuck at the same spot. damn! the jam was terrible. first time i got stuck in a jam in freaking Kota Kemuning for about an hour or so.
i don't quite understand it though, it is not like you pump full tank and then it'll last you for a month? two to three more days the most? oh well, that's human. but it's people like this that puts a smile on my face when i'm thinking about it, it practically brightens up my day cause it's always funny to laugh at someone else. i know i'm mean but it's true!
