A Difference?

Previously, I used to:
- park my baby in an open air carpark for RM6 a day, subjecting her to continuous heat from the morning sun and chillness from the pouring rain, so kesian kena torture like that everyday
- but what to do, either risk my baby instilling hatred on me or risk burning a blackhole in my wallet due to parking fees. Yeah, blackholes, those thing that sucks anything and everything into the unknown
- get stuck in traffic congestion on the way to office and back home without fail everyday, maklumlah, use Loke Yew road
- refuel at least once a week, 30 litres of petrol could only last me around 300 km, somehow even less if not pumping Shell. Just so you know, I keep track of petrol consumption each time I refuel
- total cost on fuel and parking amounts to roughly RM360 per month


And currently, I:
- park my baby in a covered carpark with some security facilities such as CCTV monitoring and guards patrolling, according to them that is
- parking only cost a minimal RM70 per month but according to my colleagues, there's a risk of minor flooding on the lower levels
- use a further but less congested route to work but still stuck in heavy traffic when returning home from work in the evening
- refueled only 12 days after the previous session, 30 litres of petrol can last me about 330 km now, makes me wonder if the additional 30km is due to getting stuck in less congestion or less effect of vaporization since I'm parking indoors now
- If everything still go according to what I calculated as above, by the end of this month, total cost on fuel, with the new rate and parking would amount to RM316, 44 ringgit less than previously


Is this one the natural signs that I have made the right decision moving on from the previous company or I'm just making myself feel better by thinking this way, hhmmm, in a way I am contradicting myself. Anyway, I guess its still too soon to come to any conclusions at this time so I'll just keep myself happy with the more positive thought, the latter one that is.

Wah like that also can.
Then i also made a right choice for changing. Cheaper car park (but open air), toll less now, distance cut half from previous.
