I found my dreamcar

What is my dream car you ask? Something small, safe, sporty, a lot of space for people and a lot of fun.

At first I could not see anything I wanted in the market along these lines. In my financial range at the moment I could afford the Toyota Avanza. So that was what I was aiming for initially. Now. Hmmm I would say it was love at first sight. I can not get this car out of my mind. I will now have to really work hard for it. It is miles more expensive than the Avanza but I really do not like the van look. :( What a pity because on the money view it is perfect.

However I have a chance to increase my pay within the next month. There is a government exam which I can take. If I score top marks for that. I would surely be able to get an increment. That brings me well into the range of being able to afford the car. This is such a happy moment for me. Just have to work harder in getting that extra pay and maybe do more part time jobs.

Hah. A little voice is warning me of the dangers of going for something which pushes the budget. hmmm. Not another dilemma. Just look at this baby. Hmmmm. I don't have to ask you if you think the Avanza can compete with this.

VERY nice!! definitely blows away the avanza by kilometers! hehe..Good luck with the exams...so good la you, rajin mau sit for the exams..me, i was a total rebel!
hahahah.. mana rajin... tamak duit ada la.. hahha.. thanks lina.. the Rush Rush song keeps on playing in my head.. hahah

According to laws of attraction. I need to imagine myself driving the car already. So been doing that for two days already. The self aligning is by getting the right pay. hahah.. I hate exams as well. I promised that I will never have to sit for any exam again back in UMIST after the last paper. Then I did masters. Then I promised again that was the last exam ever. Never again.

Lesson to learn here is Never say Never.

hi, just found your blog, interesting. I think better think back b4 u want to buy that car, why dont you save up more and go for the new suzuki 4wd, more stylish, at first i am so excited when toyota launch 'rush' but after doing some surveys and comparison i think u better wait for the next upgrade model.

:) just my opinion.

Dear Faine
Your advice is well appreciated. I also like suzuki's. The very first car I drove around long distant was a suzuki. The first car which I had an accident in was a Suzuki. However, the new suzuki car will take ages to come, the parts are not as widely available in Sabah as Toyota, and the second hand value of a Toyota keeps all over the world. Maybe in the future, I can still afford another car if I wanted to sell this one after 3 years. No problem I will look into Suzukis.

Valentine's

Today my first love surprised me with a Valentine's card. It filled my heart almost to popping. I love you My Kiddo. You make me weak and you make me strong. You make me cry and you make me laugh. You make me angry and you tell me to show a happy face.. When I was a teenager, I was a downright Geek.. You were always right Doctor EEEEvil.. I was a Geek. I did not get any flowers, no chocolates or cards on Valentine's day.. This is sooo bloody sad to admit.. hahahha.. Then I went to college and in the world of Geeks.. I became the cool girl. So I had flowers, chocolates, teddy bears and valentine's card. On top of dinner and a movie.. I was spoilt. Thanks ex-bfs for that chance.. hahahhaha.. Then came University. AAAAAaaaah I had soo much anonymous admirers. That was fun guessing. SIGH! Now that I am all grown up and bloomed into.. AHEM.. DOC ROGUE.. The shody-cute simplest pink card with a crayon coloured heart and mozaic angpow tiles makes me feel like a MILLION DOLLARS aaa...

How did they find a Gem of a Guy?

This blog is not a reference point to give a tried and true method of finding a Gem of a Guy but just a sharing of experience. I have talked to a few friends who had good solid marriages and I summarised what I learned from them in this blog. I wrote it as a continuation to my last blog on why do good girls choose bad boys? Every time I met a friend who had a very steady and good husband I never failed to ask them how they found these guys. The first thing they always say is that they never liked their present husbands initially and that they had other choices whom they preferred more. However their present husbands did not give up pursuing them for months or years. These men did not stop showing them how much they were cared for. These men came to visit the family and genuinely tried to show how they appreciate them in front of their families and friends. These men were not self centered. These men would try and know your likes and dislikes. Eventually the genuine care was evident. ...

New beginnings to all Pre U freshers

I have a cousin who said, "Hi kak. U knw ka tdk bgus this our lect,Mcm2 teda2 oo the prof madya di title dorg". Hmmm I thought and thought.. it is true.. very true.. some are bad lecturers.. or can you actually say they are bad lecturers? I replied her,"i know how u feel.. not long ago like 15 years ago.. i was in ur position.. sia kutuk kutuk juga lecturer saya.. but u know what.. now i am a lecturer.. i can see both sides.. u know my problem as a lecturer? the students want me to give them all the answers.. no one thinks.. no one wants to give their own answer.. no one wants to exercise their brain power.. macam sia lecture tu dinding ja.. very sedih and demoralising for us.. u know to lecture a wall.. i have to psyche myself up to be enthusiastic.. but then i see the students who are not even interested in learning... it is difficult.. at tertiary education level u are not only expected to give definitions but u are suppose to learn how to synthesize new information f...
