I’m in Love
January 12, 2008
I went with C yesterday to go pick up her Mazda3 from the Mazda Service Centre.
And then, I saw the new Mazda 2 (Demio) for real! I had already been eyeing it awhile from various online sources. But there was nothing like seeing it in all its tangible glory.
C and some other friends mentioned that it was a bit small. I thought it suited my purposes and lifestyle to a T. And no, I didn't think it was very small. Passengers sitting in the back had ample headroom and legroom too.
When I eased myself into the driver's seat, it was as if my body had fused with the machine. In that instant, I knew I absolutely had to get it.
I'm in Love.

Okay, now I'm just waiting to be eligible to get my test date. And yes, it's time (a bit late, I know) to start saving money. Need more funds, how???

dont really think its small.
what matters is the driver mus like it!
and perhaps ..
its enough to accomodate ya family size?
oh well.
i bet it costs a bomb.
you should start working on ya savings plan. heh.
Only that the ass is a little big.
Just great, anyway.
Oh, you looked good on your "wedding" day yesterday!
:D
Love your funny Mandarin ((:
This is a nice car, cos I luv green colour..
Hehe.. Hope u'll get yr dream car soon :p
Anywae, what r u busying rite now?
Any new dramas or new surprises from u?
Pls reply if u can>> :p
Thks''
anyways... are you like catholic or christian... just curious...
the car is really nice..
even thought its striking green..
Take care wors!
rayana>> nope, there was a long waiting list for the FTT date. but i've started practicals already :)
son>> yup i went for the concert. am not really a fan, but i enjoyed myself nonetheless lah.
j@son>> i'm currently filming Enbloc, an English drama that will be out around March.
nat...>> i'm Christian, yup.
Scrap that, I'm using that strategy right now. I'm looking at a Geo Metro 2-door hatchback. Awesome gas mileage, but air-conditioning might be screwed up. Then again, who needs a/c in the winter, or in the summer when you can roll the windows down?
Or do what some cab drivers do; attach the small oscillating fan powered by the cigarette lighter outlet. ;)
p/s JAZZ is a match better car..haha
hello brother in christ!:D
Wow, have been MIA for a while....hope you still remb me...haha
Just bought your CNY dvd (mediacorp)...cool sia...you sang well in chinese...if got autograph session, remb to inform us...will go down to get yours...hehe
who is C? mediacorp artistee? hmmm....cannot say name hah?
Wow, v nice car - DEMIO...cun find the car price on the website....dun think it costs more than $70K?
Anyway, advice is that it is easy to purchase a car (cos now, there are all sorts of installments plan ...and probably you just need a down payment of less than $10K which you shld have as savings/can always get a loan from family/...) the scarying part is the monthly installment and the petrol, taxes, insurance ...but admittingly, a car will bring convenience lah...
Like darren said, maybe you should have a donate buttom in your blog where we can 'contribute' and be 'shareholders'...hahaha....then, we all can take turns to ride your demio and ....hehe....
if you have a family car, then perhaps, may not be nece to get another one...if not, can ask if your family is willing to chip in a bit ....
meanwhile, work hard at your driving ...and pass soonest...let us know your driving date so that we can all 'pray' for you ...
smile.
darren>> i DID think of something like that... but i think others will bitch me if i do something like that. besides, i don't like to "owe" people. looks like the old-fashioned savings/investment route is the way to go. and maybe praying for a pay raise. hahaha.
prawninator>> hmm... crossed my mind before too, but then again i realised it's one thing to get a cheap car, and another to NOT compromise on safety standards. i will probably have to ferry my folks around too, so i think getting a new or almost-new car would be a better option.
son>> yeah i did consider the jazz, but it is a v old model (abt 4 yrs already) and they are likely coming out with a newer one later this year. honda also tends to be generally more expensive than other japanese cars. besides, buying a car is also an emotion-influenced decision, hahaha. right now, the mazda 2 really "does it" for me.
sean>> hey hey, i know you probably didn't mean it in a malicious way, but please be mindful of religious sensitivities ya?
cheeky>> of course i still remember you. you are my "self-proclaimed uncle reader" haha. hmmm i didn't know the dvd is out already. think i'll go check it out when i've got the time! C is... C lah. haha. if i wanted/could say, i would have typed out the whole name already...heheheh. the mazda 2 costs between 55k-60k depending on the configuration and/or loan arrangement. unfortunately i don't have a family car, hence the need to scrimp and save for this one :P
Anyway, check this out:

Just for your info, the new Nisson March - Milk Colour, is also a very cute and nice car. The passengers sitting in the back had ample headroom and legroom also, plus this car is very ecomonical in fuel consumption, ( you know lah, petrol now is very very expensive !!!! I heard US is going to rise the petrol price somemore in the near future, all because of those people fighting in the middle east, we are living in a strange world ) if you are travelling on the expressway, if there is no traffic jam, one litre of petrol - those 98 type can go up to 16km, but it is only available in auto gear and the price is no cheap !!!! But it is really a cute car, very easy for all types of parking, further more the car boot is not small, you can put all your belongings in there. For your kind consideration.
All the best! :p
I thought you shoot a gambling movie titled "IR Project" with Li nanxing, when is it showing.
You have the looks,charisma, juz need to brush up yr mandarin, keep on working hard.
Kristie
btw, my frens and i are so addicted with "The Golden Path"...
because i've seen pierre png and gurmit singh before and they're like super tall.. like giants you know? but they look short on tv... so juz wanna know how tall are you... so if by chance... i hope... i see you.. i won't get the shock of my life...
"self-proclaimed uncle reader" of yours....me very 感动！
Well, hope we get to meet soon ....take good care, work hard/smart and i am sure the car dream will materialise soon .... my dream then was to own a car before i reach 25 ..... i think i manage to do it ard 26 ...i am sure you will fare 'better' than me ...hehe...but then again, dun "overduldge" in material desires cos need to save for rainy days/marriage.... sorry, the uncle in me starts rattling again!!
I tot Suzuki SX4 is a good model too...but then again, your dream demio is more IN lah ...
first, need to pass your driving test first ...must hope for a 顺顺 test route and may all other drivers dun come and 'disturb' you...
Haha, anyway, yes the car is a beauty. But for practicality sake, I think I will consider the Tata Nano car. I wonder when it will be here in SG?
sherine>> haha no leh, not a march fan, it's a bit to "cute" for my liking. and yes, golden path has got quite a good reception so far, hehe.
jeddyy>> save up lor, haha. it'll be yours one day lah...
nat...>>> not as tall as i'd like to be, about average height lah. haha.
