It's been a while....

Whoa....1 month not update my blog.
Damn, pretty busy recently...
But at least now, I can update it now ;)

So much has happen in this month. The most distinguished event in this month is fuel price rise by the government. This event spurs several demonstration on the street, but luckily the mass not ran amok this time (maybe haven't :-S)..

Our government decided to rise the subsidized fuel price by 28.7% the day before yesterday. This is not a popular policy and will take more burden on people in Indonesia. While the poorest can stand still because they will receive donation cash from the government, the medium welfare society will suffer most. Why, because we as workers are being paid flat every month. And our salary rise, which just happened last month, is not even close to the fuel price rise.

Then the conclusion is, we will have to lower our standard of living to cut cost. Otherwise we will have none for saving. It's really hard pill to swallow! And as survey says that after 40 years of working hard :
  • only 1% will be live in prosperity
  • 4% will safe for enjoying standard living with their saving money
  • 5% still have to work to earn small amount of money for keep living
  • 54% will live under poverty by depending to pension money or their relatives
  • 36% have already dead
So under those numbers, we can easily see that to be able to enjoy standard living or more in our dusk age is really hard (only 5% from population). Therefore we must be really wise of spending money at our pruductive time, especially me, who have to take care of my parents as their only son ;)...

Struggle for living is seemed a job never end in Indonesia. Only small amount of people in Indonesia can enjoy the "cake". The others can only dream...what will happen if someday blablabla...

Just like me who can only dream of having a mainstream desktop pc. Still keep on dreaming and believing that someday my dream will come true....:)
Peace.....
