Shortage of oil, Aisan style


Dad told us that there's a shortage of cooking oil in Malaysia and we are planning on getting some cooking oil in our emergency stock, after we have stocked up rice from Australia a while ago. It was a great move because Australia had a pretty bad flood this year and with 70 kg of rice, we don't have to worry about the hiking rice price this year. I am just wondering whether other people know about this news and are doing something about it? We can be seened as some lunatic trying to buy lots of oil next the few weeks, but when the price of cooking oil goes up in New Zealand, we will be well prepared. I just hope it won't go up, though.

Asian countries are preparing for the upcoming Lunar New Year in February so cooking oil price is going up, and the subsidized oil is exported to foreign countries so people can't buy them easily in Malaysia. When you try to control the economy, the economy can come back and bite you.

It's unpleasant to see the petrol price rise, too, but you can't store petrol. Don't try to buy lots of petrol because it's so volatile. I guess the best way to save money is either drive a car with a smaller tank, ride a motorcycle or don't drive at all. The greener alternatives of walking, taking a bus, ride a bicycle, or even rollerblading to work are all good ideas, and will certainly give you a more shapely body in the summer. Also, if you ride a motorcycle, you will look very cool indeed.

Therefore, I will put a motorbike picture here for you all to see.

The motorcycle in the picture is obviously the greatest motorcycle model ever created.
