Parking coupons!!

tapijo — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 11:17:01 +0000

Since the 14th February 2011, price of parking coupons have been raised by 100%. Parking coupon holders were invited by the minister to exchange their existing coupons by the 28th of the same month. Initially scheduled to be exchanged at the Jade House, the minister then announced that the process is to be decentralised. According to him, the exchange could be done at the local filling stations.

Unfortunately, when we went there, there were no new coupons. This was aired on a radio station whereby the president of the petrol retail association mentioned that his association did not receive any new coupons from the ministry. The due date being close, we again phone a filling station. They did receive the new coupons, however they are not exchanging the old ones. You have to buy new ones. What the use of mentioning on the waves that one can exchange old ones when clearly the station does not follow suit? ( I don’t know about the other stations, but the station near to me did that). You have to go to Jade house, waiting for one hour, in the intense heat and showering your shirt and trousers before you can finally grap the new coupons in your hands.

What’s the new difference? The rs 10 on the mauve coupon is now Rs 20.00 and the Rs5 on the green coupon has turned Rs 10.00 for the same parking time (that is 30 minutes).

Now a communique from the ministry mentions that the deadline has been extended to mid March 2011. So if you are an unfortunate holder of old parking coupons, bear your bad luck in patience. Otherwise if you are lucky and filling stations accept to play the game, then good for you.

Bye bye miss!!

Howdy world!! Been a while since last wrote a post. Well things been quite hectic since the beginning of the year and the intense humidity and mosquitoes do not help at all. So that apart, i will be talking about meteo.

Most of us (if you watched the local tv) must have noticed that since some days, there were no miss meteo after the news. No miss Hansha, nor Manella, neither Stephanie presenting the weather forecast. What ever happened to them?? No weather animation. Just some voice off announcing cloudy weatherly forecast with isolated showers with no thunder.

The miss meteo are reallocated elsewhere. Where ? The answer is elsewhere…

Greetings!

My love, why are you late?

I have been desperately waiting for

your cool, refreshing arms to

wrap me, calm me,

soothe the scorching arms

that have been bruising my every soul.

Oh love, why are you playing with me?

Am aching for those moist lips to kiss mine

to ever release those burning desires

that have left me sleepless and

countless night dreaming

about your sexy body in my laps.

Oh love, you are making me crazy.

Oh baby one more time, please….

Please rain…

Hurrah!!! Another increase!

The CEB has announced it is going to major the price of electricity in Mauritius. Should the board ratify the decision, it should be effective as from today 01 December 2010. Consumer protection bodies are condemning the increase in tariffs, arguing that as always, consumers are paying the price of bad deeds and incompetency of those managing public bodies. After the story of hedging at the national aviation company and at the STC, it’s now turn(dear viewers yes you) to pay for story of the fake electrical bulbs.

Needless to say that following the increase of 10% in electricity tariffs, everything will rise. Bread, bus transport, petrol, water, basic commodities and the list is long. Hurrahh! Can’t wait to see what’s next in store for us…

UPDATE (10th December 2010)

As from Monday 13th, 20% increase in bus fares.

Sleepless night!

Am looking like a zombie. Did not sleep well last time. It was damned humid and hot. On top of that, the tropical visitors visited me and it was very annoying hearing their buzzing sound. Just when sleep finally came in, it was high time to get up to work. So if someone at work tries to pick up on me, s/he going to get it…

Ihihihihihi!!!!!
