Feul Price Didn't Hurt Most People

The petrol price has long gone up, yet from my observation it does not seem to hurt that bad. At least not to the extent that I felt.

As I rode my bike back and forth between sending and fetching my kids, I saw as many cars on the streets. There has no been a sudden increase of motorcycles. Not to mention bicycles. Only foreign workers ride them.

It seems, most of us are making enough to sustain the increase.

I looked at those faces through the wind screens. They all appeared to be happy and smiling. So many of us that are so rich.

I went out at night. The discos and lounges were packed as usual. People were having drinks and I bet they are not cheap. They appeared to be happy. listening to the live band and playing pool.

So may of us made so much money. The price of those drinks would worth a week's meal for my kids, home cooked.

So many of us simply earned more to be spending around. The pool game's price can bring almost a week's worth of food for my kids.

I sat at a corner, I had no drink. I just went there to meet a friend. I thought to myself, if I were as rich as them, will I do the same?
