Save fuel!!

So last night I fulfilled my goal of watching "StarDust". Went to Cheras Selatan for the 8.45pm movie. Was a few minutes late due to the jam and the lack of parking space. Overall it was okay. not as magnificent and mind-blowing as I thought it would be, nor as sleazy and unimpressive as some other movies that I've had the misfortune to pay RM10 for. Had dinner before that at SK..some ikan bakar garam place..the food was not bad, just that the ikan bakar didnt stand out.

Yesterday we were discussing about how there were speculations as to the increase in fuel price next year. From what I've heard, the prices may even hike up to an extra RM1 per liter. What with the global warming issues and now the price hike, we thought of a way to save money, fuel and help preserve nature at the same time. TADA! when we graduate, we'll get a horse instead of a car!!

(Note: The following is extremely childish. Do not venture further if you have a problem with university students who have nothing else better to do during their yum-cha session.)

The benefits of having a horse rather than a car:

1) Obviously you don't have to bother about fuel anymore!!! When your friends are lamenting about the extra cost, you can smirk and feel superior because you don't have that concern any longer.

2) No toll! Toll prices are probably going to increase anytime soon anyway, but you can just gallop away in the motorcyclists' lane and save more moolah!!

3) No parking woes! you can just tie your horse to any random lamp post or other "tiang". So convenient, ain't it??

4) You don't have to pump air or worry about breakdowns. Just give your ole horsy a good rest and it's smooth-sailing all the way!!!

5) You can seriously wow the chicks with your Prince Charming on a White hourse (白马王子)pose...

6) You don't really need maintenance. You can just bring your horse to some field and let it graze there.

7) Fresh air all throughout the journey!!! No more being stifled in air-conditioned cars, which is hazardous to your health and the environment anyway.


With all the strong arguments listed above, how can you not consider our suggestion??
