buying a car
what a lesson learnt > buying a new car
from initial Mazda 3 to Honda Civic Vti-L
- play the waiting game.. don't worry about that. and let them ask their manager all they want. everyone of them is acting. at the end of the day. all kinds of agents are shits > personal opinion.
- don't just go to one dealership > you will be surprised on the difference they charged for each individual element on the quote.
- important thing > don rush into a decision. make time and let time be on your side. after all, they say, the car is the 2nd largest investment after your home.
- to those who got the money and is just going for their car after one test drive > sorry dudes.. you missed out on one important lesson in life. just read somewhere > crash a beetle, get a BMW, crash a BMW, get a Lamborghini. enough said
anyway, I hope to get to a decision this weekend.. should be all right.
take care all!

Mitsubishi Mirage Max
sold my car (Max) for a reasonable price yesterday night. technically, it was my 2nd car. However, it was my 1st reliable car, and it did serve me well over the past year. Can't really bear to let it go when I finally done the deal. on the other hand, I was hoping someone would get it for me quick because the registration is expiring soon at the end of the month.
I guess time will 'heal' how I feel for the car. It was really good, reliable would always be the word to use for Max. Wollongong trips, site visits, trips to nowhere. I can't explain how I'm feeling. I can't even explain why I'm feeling like this. Guess as Mei Ching says, money sometimes can't buy everything. At least, I understand how does it feel.
Sold it to a owner living just 5 minutes away from me. donno whether isit a good thing or not. Seems like someone will drive sensibly with Max. Speaking about this, her last car got written off. hmmmm... but I'm comfortable letting the car go with her. There are some small little things to regret before/during/after the transaction (work late, stamp duty etc.).
anyway, gotta sell the old car before I get a new one. Now that I've been a seller, is time to be a buyer. Hopefully, no regrets for this time and to make the right decisions, together.
feeling not the best at the moment, and work did not make it better. Until the new car arrives, is buses and trains for us.

arghz
what a week.. full on at work. too many projects. 2 of my collegues are on leave, clients pushy.. luckily, bosses help out quite a bit. but still, they are bosses, always think that their stuffs are the most urgent. still need to learn the right way of speaking to clients etc. maybe i'm just not familiar with the 'right' technical thing to say. experience and learn.
been raining the whole of Friday and Saturday. So as you can imagine, nothing much on. Decided to go shopping and keep ourselves indoor. Realise that thats what others is pretty much doing as well. Traffic jam around the shopping centre, car parks jam, donkeys taking heaps of time parking, stuffing the traffic out to the car park access. In the shopping centre, humans everywhere, can't even walk without someone right next to you. arghz.. and everything just pisses me off.
realise that's quite a few plans that needs to be fulfil at this stage of my life. or rather OUR life. Denise and I. but time is just running fast away. chop chop. everyday just seems to zoom past. and before you know it, Christmas is here!
hope to sell my car soon. so far, no takers. *prays.
another week before my collegues come back from leave. another week of reporting. shouldnt be as hectic as last week. fingers crossed.. and also for good weather.
cheers everyone.
*everything happens for a reason, it may take you one step forward or one step back depending on the choices made*
