Have you experienced it before? - Déjà vu

How to said it? I’m not a skeptic but not a believer too. I felt I had déjà vu before.

It happens when I was around 10 to 12 years old. It was during one of the school days and probably noon or early afternoon.

I have strong feelings that tell me, “What I am doing here? I did this before. I had seen this too. I came here before. Somebody call my name when I was here last time.”

But this can’t be true because this is my first time going to recreational park nearby my school. In fact, it is the only time I had such deep and engaging experience. I can still recall the strong feeling I have at that moment till today.

I do not know whether my mind made a fool of me or not.

There is a lot of explanation for the occurrence of déjà vu in the net.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Déjà vu (pronounced /ˈdeɪʒɑː ˈvuː/ ( listen) DAY-zhah VOO; French: [deʒa vy] ( listen), "already seen"; also called paramnesia, from Greek παρα "para," "near, against, contrary to" + μνήμη "mēmē," "memory") or promnesia, is the experience of feeling sure that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously (an individual feels as though an event has already happened or has happened in the recent past), although the exact circumstances of the previous encounter are uncertain. The term was coined by a French psychic researcher, Émile Boirac (1851–1917) in his book L'Avenir des sciences psychiques ("The Future of Psychic Sciences"), which expanded upon an essay he wrote while an undergraduate. The experience of déjà vu is usually accompanied by a compelling sense of familiarity, and also a sense of "eeriness," "strangeness," "weirdness," or what Sigmund Freud calls "the uncanny." The "previous" experience is most frequently attributed to a dream, although in some cases there is a firm sense that the experience has genuinely happened in the past.[1]


I may not write this post if not for the occurrence of déjà vu again. This time, it’s not place but a person. Let call her Jane, Plain Jane. She’s a colleague of mine.

I felt I met her before in a petrol station (somewhere, it’s either Mobil or Esso). The funny fact is I don’t pump petrol in both Mobil or Esso. This time, the experience isn’t as deep as the former but my heart keep saying, “I saw plain jane in petrol station. Yes, I saw her before in petrol station”. It’s fleeting and weak moment but repetitious all the time.

I’m confused but I do believe there is something I can find from this confusion.

Subsidy Rationalisation

Excerpt from The Star, Saturday 17 July 2010. Page N16

Reduction in fuel and sugar subsidies - effective 16 July 2010, fuel and sugar subsidies will be adjusted as follows:

RON 95 subsidy will be reduced 5 sen per liter

RON 97 will no longer be subsidized. It will subjected to a managed float, where the price will be determined by the automatic pricing mechanism

Diesel subsidy will be reduced by 5 sen per liter for all subsidized sectors

LPG subsidy will be reduced by 10 sen per kilogram

Sugar subsidy will be reduced resulting in a 25 sen per kilogram upwards price adjustment



Trash Talk Time:
Well, I can't said I'm angry with the price increase in petrol even though it will burn extra hole in my pocket.

The matter I'm not happy is this,
"Our fuel price is still one of the lowest among the region"

Sure or not? Please lah, don't use conversion rate to calculate fuel price of other countries. Don't forget that we are oil exporting country. Don't hoodwinked us with your fail and "closed one eye" theory.

Visit the link below and see for yourself the price our neighbour, Singaporean is paying for RON95. You be the judge.
