Friday, 6th of June...Close to the end of my Swot Vac week. Yes, I have been trying to cramp twelve weeks worth of work into my head for the past few days...Still not sure if this is all worth it. Took some time off and went for my hair appointment this afternoon. I've been going for hair treatments a few months now and have become close to one of the staff over there who is of the same age as I am. I was looking forward to tell her how my day was and all when I realized that she has got an offer for a basketball scholarship and has resigned. I am, of course, very happy to hear that but sad at the same time as I haven't got a chance to say goodbye and wish her all the best. It's funny how significant a person feels to one when his or her presence doesn't feel close anymore. I do not have her contact details and I am sure it's not etiquette for a client to ask for some staff's contact details just to keep in touch. But I guess what matters most is that she was more of a friend to me than that of a staff.
Anyways, I have been browsing through NST and here's the main issue in Malaysia recently:
The sudden price hike in fuel has made the nation very unhappy. Well, I do not blame them, of course. I, too would be unhappy if I owned a vehicle. I mean, there used to be a time when fuel prices cost RM 1.00 per litre. Prices of food, rice for instance, has also gone up drastically. Ten kilograms worth of rice has gone up from RM 34.50 to over RM 50.00! Despite the government's consolation that this issue will make a turn for the better, I doubt that it would lead us to the road of recovery soon since there are still many other issues (such as currency problems, etc) that has yet to be resolved. But here I am, writing this entry, a thousand miles away from my homeland, hoping for luck to sweep through the nation once again.
Trapped, cornered, surrounded by fate,
She sat silently and wait.
Creeping slowly into the dark,
She began to let down her guard.
Letting these shadows take her away,
For she knew that it was no use to stay. *MyRa*
