It all started when i read one of the entries from Miss Oshin love Blog, she did mention something bout porridge, n air suam that costs her rm 1.50...(blah..blah..blah..)
Nway, it all did started with the day 'harga barang naik' ... when our prime minister said it.
mula2 minyak, tepung, susu, gula, ...
after all that happened, the peniaga become more restrained or shall i say kedekut n bkira about the food they sell.
Usually, we can find medium sized (i mean really medium not small medium) karipap at the price of rm 0.30 sebiji..means, rm 1 for 3 karipaps.
Then the condense milk that was normally at the range of rm 1-1.50 per tin, become rm 2.00++ lately..
then, the oil that we use for cooking, (pehal la plak ni...) increase price . not to mention, susah plak nk jumpa... came to a point when i want to fry the what's left in my freezer- shocked! "ha! minyak xde??"
then, i reported the situation to my house CEO= MAMA!
Me:'mama, minyak abes. nnt jgn lupe pick one up sblm blek umah ye, tankiu!'
Mama: 'ala, minyak mmg xde.. xpayah la goreng2, nnt la mama cari.. tp skang da cari mmg xde..'
That is not a good news..(nway, lari ke arah topik semula)
there was once i worked as a salesperson....it was a long day, i stopped by at a mamak stall.
1st time, i asked air suam, he charged me rm 0.20..okayla, fine..
late that evening, before going back to my office, i asked for 2 air suam(jauh bjalan, penat kaki...byk bcakap, haus tekak..heeheehaa!) he charged me, rm 0.60.
monolog: aik, bukan ke td satu = rm0.20? naik plak.. naseb la, ak ni penat nk gado2...ish!!!
n another case, my mom n my sis's n me went to a mamak stall (again!)..
p/s: we r the family who loves to drink air suam (bolah order smpai 10 cawan on 1 table! heeheehaa!)
we ordered foods, like i said, we ordered 6 air suam and coloured water as well. so, mama asked for the bill, this one ane count the total (kire, punye kire) came to a total of rm 24.00
okey la, normal price for 4 people rite? then, mama asked him to explain what he had counted, and each air suam is rm0.30. then, mama said "aik, mkn byk pon nk kira air suam? bukan air suam 20sen je ke??"(we all looked at him)
he startled n replied: xde2, air suam sudah naik harga!
me mumbling: semenjak bile? pandai je nk charge org ye...
so, you see, mlampau kn.. harga minyak yg naik, air pon naik jugak... mcm pepatah, naik minyak kn? heeheehaa!! not related at all!
Just a dare, if you guys went to eat out, even at malay stalls, if u asked them bout the air suam price, they might even say,: "xpela, sy xcharge." see, easy n breezy!
So, thanks to miss oshin again, for bringing up this idea... This is me!
