The price of tax

This morning, when passed through the flat housing area, just next to the LRT, I saw a banner written with "Jangan Kacau Hak Kami"..something like that. The banner just hang up at the front entrance of illegal parking area at that flat housing. The area was supposed to be an empty spaces with green grass purposely planted on it by the DBKL, I guess. Since, the flat is currently fully occupied or tenanted to singles or family, so, there are a lot of cars parked at that area.

I guess, this low cost flat was meant for low income family to live in which may not affordable to get their own car and much relying on public transportation. Because this area is mostly visited by RapidKL buses.

Then, since recently, I was told by someone, when we were having chitchatting during the break, she told me the story about tax deduction. Only now I know how much the govt has taken from me and others. I never know that the tax paid is quite high and become higher when your income become more. 1/4 of the annual income is taken by the govt every year! Now I understand why the taxpayers are really mad on how the govt spent the money into. Because, most of the taxpayers are non-govt employee because there is the minimum income that one is required to pay tax.

So, when I saw that banner, I was mumbling that, "korang bukan byr tax pun..every facilities ni, taxpayers yg provide the money to put things in action, korang yg enjoy all the facilities prepared by govt...middle income yg tersekat in between, but diligently paying tax.Kami nk bli rumah low cost xbley, rumah medium cost pun dah xavailable, tinggal rumah lama yg rege naik mencanak2 mcm xlojik! Rumah yg besar, lagila diluar kemampuan...bersyukur jelah...share parking pon kedekut, mcm korang byr cukai tanah utk area tu pun!"

Sometimes I doubt about the house pricing. I see it as it is not controlled by the govt. The price hike is too steep. For example area in setiawangsa, launching price 4 years ago was 399k, now, the price is doubled! I am very much puzzled since the land is leasehold. And what about another 4 years down the road?? Can it be triple???

Ape-ape ajer

Dah lama xmembebel kat sini. Asal terasa nk update, tiba-tiba otak jadi kosong, xde idea ape nk cerita. Nak cerita hal kehidupan seharian ke, isu semasa ke, resipi baru ke (takdenyer nak reka-reka resepi baru..eheh..amik resepi org jer!). Betul, hampir-hampir nk tutup account ni dah. Tapi bila renung-renung balik, byk dah dititip kat dalam ni, dlm english, rojak, melayu, sayang pulak rasanya nk tutup blog ni sbb tuan blog dah malas nk type entry baru. Hehe.Bukan sibuk sangat pon, asyik bertangguh-tangguh lama-lama idea yg tiba-tiba muncul "ting!" tu hilang bila dah berhari-hari tangguh kan.Hehe.

Skang ni kt umah demam Boboiboy. Asyik mintak tgk katun tu jer. Padahal katun tu dok ulang tayang episod yg sama ajer berkali-kali, rasa-rasa nya adalah nk dekat 4 kali kot. Punya lah TV nak kaut untung kan!Budak igt xtahu ke diorg dah tgk episod tu belum, diorg tahu lah! Sbb dulu BEN10 pun suke diulang tayang, sama lah mcm mickeymouse clubhouse dan katun2 lain. Lama-lama, bila dah asyik tgk episod yang sama, boringlah budak, so, demam BEN10 dah pulih, skang ni Boboiboy pulak, mentang skang ada version english. Haiya...padahal jln cerita sama, CD pun dah dibeli yg original...budak-budak...

Tahun depan, cadangnya nk masukkan Aqil skolah baru, tp belum lagi buat survey tadika yg baru. Aqil ckp nk tadika mickey mouse. Sbb dekat2 umah tu ade tadika mickey mouse sebenarnya, tp saya agak kurang berkenan bila tgk keadaaan persekitaran tadika tu yg kurang keceriaan nya, pilihan kaler yang agak out.

Bab pilih tadika kat Malaysia ni, kalau yg "big value" tu, susah nk ckp. Byk jer yg xkenanya. Tapi yg penting adalah security dan jugak hygiene. Bukan nk mengutuk, tp mmg mcm kenyataan, org Malaysia ni, pd observation saya, kurang menjaga kebersihan. Terutama pd kanak-kanak, diorg ni mmg suka main redah jer. Makan xbasuh tgn pas main puas-puas. Jadi mmg saya hari-hari risau kalau anak-anak ni terkene infection ke ape. Semlm, yg kecik mcm dh nk demam, mujur semangat die kuat, tambah support dr papa, abang, mama, alhamdulillah..pagi ni as usual.

Saya bersyukur jugak, Alhamdulillah, anak-anak ceria dan sihat walau org buleh ckp diorg ni kurus. Saya senang ckp, tgk saiz mak dia lah, camtula saiz anak dia, ehehe..:)..sbb mak dia yg selalu available untuk anak-anak kan.Hehe.Masa baby, kuar besar, bile membesar, kurus-kurus jer tapi bukan cikeding yer! Just appropriate!Saya pun xnak anak-anak saya gemuk-gemuk, nnt tak larat saya nak angkat, bahayakan tulang belakang saya jugak!

Tadi nk cerita pilih tadika. Kalau ada cadangan buleh la bagitahu saya. Nak area2 dr daerah wangsa maju ke KLCC. Kalau ade daycare lg bagus.Kalau g keje lalu MRR2 lah biasa nya. Oh ya, sesiapa keje kt KLCC, yg dah xnak guna season parking kt bwh tu utk kereta yer, kutlah, nk berhijrah ke, nk bercuti ke, nk retire, nk benti ke, hulur2 lah kata saya tanpa ambil untung yer. Orang skang sume pk nk amik untung atas angin kan. Sume perkara nk dijadikan bisnes, mcm desperate sgt jer...ish!

Whining

I'm sitting here, feeling empty. Works coming in, the excitement is fading. I'm whining again. I feel lost, be in the dead end. I've done all I've to do but there's still more I could do. I need the courage which I've lost long ago. I need the confidence that 've been buried long ago. I'm not a wait-n-see but now, I feel like I am one of it. There's nothing much I could do when it comes to governance which I never see.I'm whining, I'm unhappy with my work. I lost my passion long ago, friends heard me so many times, but 'people' did'nt hear me screaming out everyday that I really wanted to work on my skill & knowledge. Yes, I'm whining again. I should stop this. I must love my work, whatever it is, just learn to love it even it took me for granted. This is what I'm getting now, the future, no one knows God's plan. Hopefully it's going to be a fair future for my career. I need to live up my talent to the fullest which I currently can't because of 'them' making it impossible of absurd reason. This is life. Life is never been fair to everyone.
