I slept at 7am. And construction next door started at 8am. On a Saturday morning. It’s such restless sleep when i’m semi-conscious and curses aimed at the neighbours interweave themselves in my dreams.
Went to test-drive cars with NickIsTaller in the afternoon.
We headed for the Naza showroom to drive the 206. I really like how it’s smaller but i do feel like it doesn’t accelerate as fast as i’d like.
Then we went to the Suzuki showroom to test out the Swift. WHICH I LOVE.
It’s so smooth and seems to glide around, making me hum while test-driving it
“Maybe you should test the Honda City also,” said Nick.
“I never felt an affinity with it… and really losing the plot la, from Myvi which costs 52k, to 206 at 68k, Swift at 73k (plus V Cool), everytime we think it’s just a few thousand more it’s getting more and more expensive!”
“Ha ha yeah lor.”
“What cars did you test-drive?” asked Daddy when we got home.
“The Swift and the 206.”
“I don’t think you should buy a new car. I think you should buy a second-hand Pajero and bang around in it. ”
“Dowannnnnn -_-“
The pc downstairs is spoilt (i didn’t do anything! i swear!) so i’m using my brother’s pc to blog. His is quite the cemerlang though. I’m afraid if anything so much as screws up, i know it’ll be MY fault and he’ll never let me near it again.
Going through his playlist to choose songs for WILD tonight, and since they’re his songs but i’m doing the picking, i named the folder – Joyce and Nick Wong for WILDDD!
I’m getting to know my brother better through his music selection… he’s got heaps of classical i never knew… and some power emo stuff 0_o
And a lot of indie rock. I’ve officially pulled him over to the dark side.
Btw Joyce, whatever car you want to choose, hopefully u take seriously the safety features esp airbag, abs etc. vios have a reinforced body structure, and g-spec has both driver and passenger airbag. am not sure abt 206, but Myvi higher specs does come with airbag too.
We might think that we are a good driver, and the chances to get into accident is quite slim, but its the other lousy and crazy driver that we should be wary of. Now i dont really advise my friends to get a compact car if possible, unless on really budget constraint. Life is too precious to be too penny-wise. Ur dad suggestion might be a good one, consider it if u will.
just my humble 0.707 cents..
ehhhh . . . the word u’re looking for is changgih ?
I don’t know abt the locally assembled ones but my CBU Swift is awesome!! Though the change in gear is a lil obvious and the car just jerks forward when picking up speed. Maybe it’s just my driving. *shrugs*. All in all, it’s a darn great car! Especially in the nooks and crannies of the city.
