All prices go up. Price of things that provides our basic needs like petrol, the bus fare, the taxi fare, the food for lunch, etc. Today I eat a bowl of mee and to my surprise, it has gone up by 50 sen. The reason because the price of noodles has gone up RM2 for 1 kilogram. So the seller has increase the price to cover the cost. My reasoning is 50 sen more for a bowl seems a bit too much to cover the cost. Why the price of noodles increase? Blame it on the increase in transport cost. Why the transport cost increase, blame it on the increase in petrol. All this increases form a chain of reaction from one thing to another. Is there anything that has not increased?
Yes, there is one thing that has not increased, that is my miserable pay. It is still the same. Yeap, everything goes up but not my salary. So my spending increases and my savings decrease.
If the price of clothing goes up, I will not buy. But food is essential to living. So when the price of noodles in all shops in my working area goes up at the same time, I have no choice because there is nothing to choose from. I cannot go to a cheaper one.
There is one thing that goes down. The shares prices of majority of the companies listed at the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange. It is just a tumble from the top of the hill to the bottom. Has it reach its bottom? I doubted. For the days to come, it will just be another drop. Any sign of going up. I don't think so, not in the near future. Any regret? Yes, should have load off some shares early of the year.

Being Single
Being single for me is being in control of my own life. I mean, I do not need to discuss with anyone on any decision I made. I do not need anyone's approval or disapproval, in some case for anything I do. I enjoy every minute of singlehood though there will times I wish I have someone with me, especially in moment of sadness.
Being single has its disadvantages such as a majority of friends are married or busy working, too busy to entertain me. The only time I feel I need someone is when I am travelling. Travelling alone is okay for me except the surcharge I have to pay for the hotel room etc. That is when I have to scout around for friends who are free. And it is tough when a majority of friends are married. I will certainly prefer to travel alone if I do not have to pay any surcharge.
I always live my life with a belief that one do not depend on others to make one happy. Ah, Come to think of it. What really makes me happy? I feel happy whenever I see my savings increases. I feel happy when I see a cute baby.
For a lot of people, being able to share happiness or sorrow with someone special is important. Being single means there is no one to share the joy or sorrow. Of course, one can still share it with their parent, friends, or relative. For me, it does not matter as long as I am happy. When I have problem, I think of ways to solve it. Why bother friends with all the problems. I think everyone have their own problems to solve without people coming to them with their problems. Then, one will have to handle one problem and other people problem. That will be a lot of problems.
Another problem with being single at my age is dealing with married men. Some of them seems to think that I am available just because I am still single at my age. Being single at my age does not mean I am available to married men. Dealing with married men is tough especially if they are your bosses. I have learnt over the past is a man scorned is the worst enemy one can have.

a world of differences
what will make a world of differences in my life now is a change of new job. A change of environment, a change of people I deal with, a change of job, a change of behaviour and more importantly, a change of way of life. As life passes everyday, life becomes monotonous. The same old people, the same old room, the same old boss and everything seems to be the same. Nothing new, nothing interesting and nothing challenging. Which is why I feel a change of job will bring about a change in the daily happenings. Maybe a new exciting begining and a lovely new boyfriend.
Still living with my brother. Another boring individual whose day in day out is surfing on the net, writing his blog. His life seems to revolve around the computer and the wife. It is him who introduce me to write my own blog. It will make a world of differences to see him doing other things instead of playing with his computer.
My boss is a nice quy at times and at times a moody individual. Working with him requires a lot of patience. What will make a world of differences if he will be more generous. Which explains for the poor bonus and increment as according to him, the Company is not making much. A fat lie or lame excuse. Only he and god knows. Poor us who slot in day out day in but in the end getting peanuts.
Loaded with an illness that requires daily intake of pills. Is it doing good? Yes but at the expense of my figure as the side effects of the pills is putting on weight. The horror of seeing the pounds piling up weekly is worse than the illness itself. The feelings of seeing myself growing from a certain size to another big size is an anguish. The sadness, nobody will understand. What will make a world of differences is the pills will not have these effects. Instead of putting on weight, it is making one thinner. Then, I will be a very happy person. Instead now dealing with the weight problem. Parking far and walking up stairs to reduce the weight.
Is a monotonous life better or worse than an interesting life? Will too much excitement not good? Monotonous is to live life peacefully. Without the usual new happenings but expecting things to work out in the same way daily. Too long of the same old things is boring. So the dilema is facing new things which we are not familiar or doing the same old things with the same endings. Which is better? I for one do not know as sometimes new things are not good. But right now, i will like to try new things so as to experience different things and then to have different feelings.
Writing this piece of thought is interesting. It is my first try. Will be better in my next thought.
