Disini juga seperti janji, sebenarnya.. tapi karena selalu disalah gunakan...

And the main reason for the price increase on food isn't the weakness in dollar but because the commodity price for food (wheat, corn, etc) is also rising. Mostly because the stupid "green" movement encouraged by US government (and most of the developed country) to replace oil consumption with ethanol. Ethanol comes from food material! So basically you also have to compete against your car for the same basic resources, which is kinda ironic actually.

Wong tiap buka toko aja org2 udah pada ngantri di depan Al-Baik gitu loh. Enak banget deh pokoknya; murah dan banyaaak porsinya (biasanya untuk satu paket org indo bkl makan berdua; tapi untuk org arab, itu porsinya untuk satu org hehe) Aku sampe skrg gak tau nama jalan/gang rumahku itu apa hahaha... paling taunya jalan2 yg besar2... jadinya kalo ngasih tau lokasi rumahku, harus ada patokan... e.g. setelah Masjid, belok kiri, mentok, belok kanan... rumah yang ketiga, dst... hehe <b>mulia</b>: wah, blom gajian nih :D kapan2 ya hehehehe *halah <b>Oskar</b>: LOL. green movement. hmmm... I'd say Saudi Arabia is still blind about the "green" thing. At least for another 8-10 years. Barely anyone cares about protecting the earth. Replacing the oil with ethanol?? is it happening now?? oh well, I don't think it greatly affects the economy since the majority of population is still relying on oil. Hmm I think it's just that the world economy in general is quite bad right now.. hah, first of all, I know nothing about economy! senaz: ya udah teh, kesini aja!

All I can say is that, at the very same time that the price of goods increases, my family faces some financial difficulties. Being a businessman means that my dad has to take a lot of risks, and that includes losing so much money. Sadly, this year’s Hajj seemed to be so unfortunate for him. I am pretty sure it was not the first time that my dad encountered this similar problem, but this year is more obvious knowing so many expenses have been spent for the past few months, including moving to a new house and traveling to & from Australia. So we are currently trying to save as much money as we can and to live “modestly”. No more eating outside and we barely go out on the weekends (which is fine since I love staying at home anyway). We also try to reduce the number of snacks or beverages that we consume; stuffs like yoghurts, different kinds of juice, cheese (cream cheese, labneh, etc), and chocolates. Thankfully my brother, who I presumed to be very hard to convince, amazingly understands the whole situation. During his birthday (22 Feb), he didn’t ask a single thing; he would usually ask my dad to go out to eat. We try to be so blunt with him, at one point we even use the words krismon or kere just to make fun of the situation.
