Inflation

OUCH!

I felt the pinch of inflation. Finally. I had read news about it and saw pictures of people in other countries protesting against it, but it never felt so real until recently when the amount in my bank account is getting painfully lesser and lesser, and I have been receiving red notes and fines.

I thought we over-spent on something... but checking through the bills, we have been very careful in our spending, infact, it was as per normal or less. We stayed home the whole of June School Holiday, we seldom eat supper now and we never switch on the air-conditioner at night, ok, just a couple of nights when it was super hot.

YUPPERS! It was because of the rising prices of rice, breads, oil, vegetables, meats, fruits, milk powders, and so on. All are but our basic needs!

I thank God for the profit sharing my company gave, it kinds of ease the pocket for now. I am so afraid to think ahead, where can we find the money if we run out of it... Most of our gold were sold. Shares? I dare not even read the news on the market.

I find myself looking for cheaper lunch recently. Thank God for the $1.50 chicken rice! I also try to eat noodles which cost the most $2.50. I gave up my favourite malay rice which cost $3.50 and sometime more if you wanna add another dish of vege... Once I tried to order one vege and one tofu and it cost only $1.70 which I was so so so happy, as I can eat my favourite malay rice and still spend less!

I don't order drink anymore as I'll have it back in my office. Now I really appreciate my company which provide drinks like coffee, tea and milo.

Dear God, please heal the situation. Please provide for those who are in need. For Your Name is Jehovah Jireh, our Provider. God shall supply all our needs. Amen!
