How are my poor parents coping with this, I wonder? With the insane increase in the prices of convenience goods (so I hear -- because Allah knows I cannot seem to read about it), how can my parents even think of driving the car, or even having a decent iftar?
This situation is bordering on ridiculous. Even more ridiculous than having to pay AUD 17.00 for a bunch of bananas.
But at least there's a reason for banana shortage. And at least we can still get a kilogram of white sugar for AUD 0.99 at the nearest Aldi.
I know that should I start naming names, I might get monitored by the government. Maybe I should ask Book for the cool 'monitored blog' icon tag.
But if the LITW doesn't at least find an alternative supply of chilies for the mass public, then they should prepare for an uprising along the likes of what just went on in the Thai government. If they are lucky. The Thai coup went on without even a bullet being shot off into the dark, so I hear.
LITW-ers are a bit more feisty than that, if they aren't hooked up on them chillies.
Wallahu'alam bissawab.
I need somebody to keep my updated on LITW (I hope people know what I'm getting at with the acronyms and such). Lest I go home this 30th November (insyaAllah) completely clueless and unaware, and expecting to be able to eat that homeland fair I crave so much, and end up finding out that "sorry, but we're out of salt this time around".
That would be known as stepping over the forbidden line in my books, dude.
Wassalamualaikum.
