money counts

if i can sell my present car for 60k, i still need to borrow about 100k to get the megane RS......

repaying 100k over 7 years will require me to fork out approximately 1.4 k every month.....

am i prepared to do this..????

but i love the car soooooo much........

Full blown

I'm interested to know how the polo gti drives....

But I'm not sure if I would be given the licence to whack the car to its full potential....

180 hp from 1.4 litre is surely good enough .....

soft crack


before i left for work, my maid told me there's something stubborn on the windscreen..... despite her best effort last night, the stain is there....

as i was rushing for time, i took a quick look and concluded it was some glue-like stain...... nothing that the wonderful hi-glaze 88 cant remove or so i imagined...... surely it will be gone by the time i get to it......

during my journey, i kept looking and realised that the "stain" ran across a good 30 cm across near the bottom of the windscreen........

GOSH.....!!

it's not a stain!

IT'S ACTUALLY A CRACK....!!!!

did i hit anything yesterday??? not that i can remember....... so what happened..????

now i need to find them to get the windscreen replaced....

DAMN..!!

but let me remind myself, this is not a problem that money and time cant fix.......

i shouldnt be angry or anything... OK?

life is more than just the car and the problems around it......

SIGH..... right now i am feeling real shitty but it's not about the car.....

greasy trap....

now everyone knows that you get less traction and grip when the road becomes wet...... so please slow down for your own sake......

today there were 2 accidents within a short distance on the ECP towards city.....

the first one is definitely a red mist or unforced error..... i was kinda surprised to see the damaged car facing oncoming traffic!! most probably the driver smashed head on against the barrier.......

the other was a chain collision...... must have been following too close....... and when one fellow braked, it became a MESS...

Silk by AR 2

Although I can describe the improvements made after putting on the AR natural silk under and around my components and cables, I'd rather tell you something else which is more important....

Cos da sound is more like music now..!!

the key to a good shave is more than just the razor of cos......

proper preparation and lubrication makes shaving enjoyable so please dun skip the foreplay....

make sure you wet your face with warm water a good 5 minutes before doing anything.....

and never never shave without foam or cream.....!!

by doing so, you can then depend on a single razor blade for a great shave.....

lastly put on after-shave lotion / balm to soothe the skin as it becomes raw and sensitive after shaving....

incremental discounts


for now i am getting 11% discount off the pump price at caltex with a HSBC credit card...

if i need more, i can get 12% with a corporate discount package with esso....

is that a good deal?

certainly not the best if you compare what you can get at SPC with POSB everyday card + SPC discount card or the citibank mobil card + citibank dividend credit card......

these cards give you rebates for the amount spend at the pumps but it's worth the trouble only if you use credit cards regularly...... if i need cash discounts then the corporate package is straight-through best....

for a while i used shell petrol until they dropped 92 octane fuel from their line.... and i love 92..!!! save me a few bucks each time......
