fn9. the currency exchange

it's only a little while i did take a breather from writing, or from pasting on photo to be exact, and i have already feeling lost of rhythm.  i have to get it back real quick or else i would not be doing it anymore.  not that i have nothing to tell but recently i have been busy with all the worldly things.  not a very good approach to life, but sometime i have to focus on one thing at a time.
going back to what i want to tell about, well currently the currency exchange rate have gone wild to the liking of exporters but i don't export anything so my liking is towards stronger ringgit instead.  so when i compare japanese yen (or en, as written in japanese) i cannot help feeling unlucky or a feel of real bad timing. as of today, 10th march 2016, the yen is hovering at around rm36.850 for every 1000 yen.
compare this to the first time i checked on the rate on the 30th january 2015 which was at rm30.850 (quite sometime ago i know).  
 
that's a real drop of rm6 for every 1000yen.  if i want to go to japan now, bringing 100000 yen for a week stay, i would have to fork out some rm600 extra.  that is the cost of a month's food supply for the whole family.  that's why i say it is really unlucky. 
whose fault is this?
i know, you have read and heard enough so you make your own conclusion.
