Price hikes in everything

Price hikes are the craze nowadays.Petroleum,oil,rice,that pasar malam underwear that you have(haha,I knew it!).But what is the source of it?Could it be the presidential race in the US?Or could it be the twin disasters in Asia.Well for me,I don't really watch the news,but I am pretty sure it was caused by the drop of the USD in America,well USD is also the official currency of Ecuador.Because of price hikes,many people are affected,such as no second helpings for meals,cutting down on electricity which equals to less TV and stuff etc.No more long rides in the car,no more this no more that.Or not exactly no more but less.To add to the burden,we have to thank Cyclone Nargis and the earthquake that hit China at a Richter scale of 7.9.Mediacorp and certain charity organizations would give the green light to donation drives,but,if we donate and the victims receive the relief,who is going to be our Samaritan?Who is going to deliver help to us? No one can do that unless you have a googilian dollars at hand.I mean many people out there are facing this problem.And to our horror,it is just a process that goes round and round,everyone is part of it.For example,Ah heck that.All I can only say is,it's a vicious cycle.






Yup,and that guy above is definitely not Doraemon.

Dad's off to China for a week.Best wishes Dad.
