Friday Frolics - What's Your Introvert Strength?

Find out what's your introvert strength today. Happy Friday, everyone!

Kuala Lumpur is sunny today. Blue skies, white clouds. The share market is up. I made some money today. Woot! Down south in Singapore, Singaporeans are snapping up the Ringgit, emptying money changers stash. Yesterday the exchange rate hit a high of 2.7234, i.e., S$1 = RM 2.7234.

From The Star:

Macquarie analyst Somesh Kumar Agarwal has said the weakening of the Ringgit would affect tourist arrivals to Singapore and, in turn, potential revenues from the mass-market segment of Singapore's casinos.

Malaysians are among Singapore's top mass-market foreign gamblers, so the weak currency will put a dent in the high- stakes gaming business.

But Singapore shoppers to Malaysia are not complaining despite Malaysia's new 6% goods and services tax kicking in on April 1. With an exchange rate favouring the Singdollar, items like milk powder, cooking oil and diapers still cost about the same.

Good for you if you are making Sing dollars and spending it across the Causeway in Johore.

Your Introvert Strength: Consideration

You are a very thoughtful person, and you consider all your options carefully before acting. You do your best to minimize harm in this world with the things that you do, and this includes harm to yourself. You may live a fairly normal life, but that's by choice. If people only knew the options you've weighed. You sometimes overthink things, and for you that's part of the fun. It feels good to pour over every detail.

Last quiz: How Weird Are You?

Evening sky over Kuala Lumpur

Noticed how clear the city looks after a short shower but sorry the image doesn't do justice.
But hope the playful clouds make up for it.

You, have a lovely evening or a lovely day ahead whichever is the case.

April Fool's Day surprise - No change in petrol and diesel prices for April

I was caught in a traffic jam last night near a Petronas petrol station where the queue started at the station. Motorists were queuing up to fill up their tanks expecting a price hike after midnight. But it did not happen. Well, not a bad April Fool's Day..

Retail prices for RON 95, RON 97 and diesel remain unchanged.

RON 97, however, comes with the 6% Goods and Services Tax, whose implementation begins today in the country.

The Star reported that motorists had earlier jammed petrol stations around the country, with some complaining that they had to queue for very long. This is usually the case just before an impending petrol price hike. Do you join in the fun?

Going last-minute Shopping before GST kicks in tomorrow?

Oh dear, Barbie and Ken are also affected by GST. From the last list of MSN's Top 17 things to buy before GST implementation, MSN has added four more, Barbie and Ken included.

The other three items are:

Umbrellas

Ointments and Most Medicines, and yes, Mopiko too..

and Instant noodles - That go-to staple food for convenience and/or difficult times has not been spared from GST.

GST implementation in Malaysia kicks in tomorrow, April 1st. At 6%, it has been reported it is the lowest GST rate in the region, others being 7% and above.

I was told this morning that petrol price will go up tomorrow too, by another 10sen or so.
