greetings from the land of hang tuah (and hang jebat).
the month of ramadhan seems to go by so fast. less than a weeks time we will be ushering in syawal, the month of merriment after fasting for a month for the muslims.
just can't help thinking about how bad the impact has been on us the layman since the rise in petrol prices. at most ramadhan stalls, prices of kuih muih are most obvious. before we could get 4 0r 5 pieces for rm1. now the cheapest is 3 pieces for rm1. some sell 5 pieces for rm2. not much change in murtabak prices but clearly the size is smaller.
luckily here in melaka, there are varieties of food that u can choose from. i like the atmosphere at peringgit where on sale is among others nasi briyani gam, macam-macam karipap, nasi lemak, nasi kerabu, ikan bakar, tahu bakar, lauk pauk even fish n chips! also countless varieties of drinks.
come to think of it, when the price of petrol went up, so did the price of other goods notably food. but when it dropped by 15 sen recently, the prices of other goods stay put! someone has to look into this matter i think.....
anyway i am keeping my fingers crossed hoping that petrol prices will go down another 15 sen. that would make raya more meaningful!
what say you?
