Increasing and increasing

Fuel price is going up... Prices of things are going up...

Expecting aid of some form...

BUT! Instead you are met with Everyday Rising Prices.

Yesterday i paid $1.50 because i missed the $1 time frame by 1 minute. Just as i was going under the gantry, the charges changed and increased.

Today i paid $2.00 because i went past the gantry about 6pm..

I think it's quite ridiculous. Instead of having some sort of relief from the crazily-increasing costs of things, we are faced with one more increase which i think lies in the timing of a certain decision which can be controlled.

Sigh... Is "apathetic" a word that truly reflects Singaporeans or is it that it has been instilled in us to just "suck it up?"
