Eerie feeling of the changing world 变化中的世界, 阴森的感觉 ...

I was born in the 60's ...
in the 70's, a bowl of WanTon Noodle cost $0.30 Ringgit, 
in the 80's, you can get one at $1.50 Ringgit, 
in the 90's, $2.50 Ringgit will do, 
Beyond 2000, a bowl was selling at $3.50 Ringgit, 
In 2011 today, you may not get a bowl with $4.50 Ringgit ...

For the past 15 years, I have 
never had a salary increase nor bonus ...
but I am still glad I still have a job ...

The thought of the shrinking money scares me a little
as I am close to retirement age ...

I wonder what a bowl of Wonton Noddle will cost 
10 years from now,
if I live to see it ...
