NA!!!


My colleagues and I went for a simple lunch today. We opted for economy rice since well ... it's economical. So we drove to our regular restaurant and waited in queue for the rice stall owner to serve us. My turn came soon enough and I opted for the regular 3 dishes. Minced pork, green veg and some fried eggs. The cheap stuff as usual, so I readied myself with RM4. It's standard, 3 dishes wouldn't cost me more than RM3.60 but this time around ... my lunch came UP to RM4.20!!! Bloody hell ... price increased by so much. KNNCB!!! Food portion also less already ... like that don't call it economy rice ... better call it economy RISE!!!

How la liddat? The inflation tsunami is hitting us soon? Are we ready to take it straight on?

If you've been hard hit by the recent chain reaction from the fuel price hike ... please share your story here k.

Errr...vera, I think it's a bad word.

It's only a bad word if you meant it to be a bad word. For me, KNNCB simply means Kenya Nigeria Netherlands Canada Bolovia. What???!!! I just wanna improve my world geography. :P

(Adrian looks at Tweets and shakes head) ... tsk tsk tsk.

ok i help the leng chai out.. this acronym is from the Hokkien dialect.

the first 2 stands for KaNasai. (like shit!) the last to for Chicken Biscuit. the center one is a mystery. not complete i think.

Cos i think the proper one that the leng chai from klang taught me was KNNBCCB. Hope this helps Ping. hahahaha

Adrian said...

Waaa KNNBCCB some more ... this one I also dunno. *Blur liao* I still maintain that KNNCB means Kenya Nigeria Netherlands Canada Bolovia. :P

hahaha.leng chai angry already.. ok lets stick to topic. my turn to bitch about it. just came back from lunch from my usual wan tan mee stall. when the previous petrol hike at 1.92 sen the noodle went up from 3.70 to 4 bucks. This time it still remained at 4 bucks. But the wan tan now only dua BIJIK!!! last time was standard 3. The noodle also seem less. feels like maggi mee single portion. then the charsiew with one blink of an eye can count liao. 4 miserable thin pcs. guess what, not even a strand of fats on them. I think the pigs in the farm are feeling it also. poor Porky is getting fed less than prior. So no price hike at my usual wan tan mee stall but i still got screwed!!! KNN!!

Adrian said...

Hahaha ... I where dare to get angry ... later kena bomb nicely leh. :p

Yes ... it's always us li'll people who get screwed. I say we unite and stick it up to the man!!!
