Conned by Plain Water

I never realize it or should I say I actually never thought of it.
I pick up Today’s newspaper from a stand at my college and I read it while I waited for my mom to pick me up.
I came across this tiny article talking about water.
Yup, you hear me right. A glass of plain water.
I ate at cafes and places like that quite often.
Before, I try to order the cheapest drinks I could, but not the plain water.
After a while, I decide to give it a twist and I pick up the plain water.
Because to me, it is cheap, it only cost 50 cents while other drinks cost at least Rm2.80.
And after reading that article, I realize 50 cents is damn much to pay for a glass of plain water. What the hell, I’ve been conned by these cafes all this while.
No, they didn’t conned me, is that macam ya punya “cheap” glass of plain water conned me. Argh, I feel so stupid.
I actually don’t mind to pay 20 cents or 30 cents to those Chinese coffee shop but 50 cents or sometimes even more sounds a bit ridiculous, heh.

I don’t know.
From the article, “The Ministry wants the association to charge 5 cents and has given a convincing rationale”.
Well, I do hope this 5 cents thingy will come true, then I don’t have to carry my bottle of water everywhere just to save up that 50 cents.
Damn the tipu aku punya plain glass of water.

Edited: Suddenly, I realize that paying RM1 for a bottle of mineral water is also kind of much. Why don’t I also sell water, then I’ll be rich.. :D
Is this post meaningless or what? I suddenly feel very lame..
