I choose you, Pikachu!

Say hello to Pikachu!

Bright, loud, and full of power!

I got this SE 1.5 Myvi towards the end of September and I'm loving it. Sure it took a bit of getting used to. I'm still working on the handling of the car, but at least, after her first service, she doesn't guzzle as much petrol anymore. I used to have to refill her tank within a week. But now it's definitely over.

It's funny switching from a 1k cc engine to this 1.5. The change in fuel consumption is very very obvious, and bear in mind that I've been driving my old red kelisa for 8 years before I got Pikachu.

The story of getting the Myvi:
When the new Myvi 1.3 was launched back in June, I placed an order for the sleek purple Myvi elegance. I wasn't too impressed with the exterior facelift, however, I was enchanted by the new interior design. Prior to this, I never had a GPS device, so I was bent to get the built in navigation system on the Myvi, which led me to the Elegance.

A couple of months passed, and no news on the delivery of the purple Elegance. Then they launched the 1.5. After being convinced to switch to the 1.5, I requested for the purple one again, or silver, whichever comes faster. Within a week, I received a call that my car was ready to be delivered. Since I sorta requested purple or silver, I asked what colour this one was. Imagine my surprise when I was told that it's yellow. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't hate yellow, and I think the yellow is a beautiful shade, and it really stands out on the car. But that's also the thing.. I didn't quite want to stand out. The colour is loud, and I didn't feel like being so obvious that I just got a new car.

I had like, two-three days to decide whether to take the yellow or not. Upon hearing several advices, I went with it since it's already available, wherelse there's no telling when the purple SE 1.5 will ever emerge. And here comes Pikachu!

The name Pikachu was suggested by Steven. People used to ask when I was gonna get my Barney (during the time I was expecting the purple).

I do know that there has been more purple Myvis out there now, but I'm glad I got my Pikachu. No regrets there :)

Two Birthdays and a Car

Getting a car for a birthday is like a dream, isn't it?

Two birthdays passed since the last post, and I was "slightly" occupied with preparing for them. No, there was no car involved in any birthday gifts or so. They, my mum and bro, are already driving bigger cars than myself ;P

Anyway, I've been hunting for a new car, since my Kelisa has started to show many signs of aging. I still love my Kelisa. But I do know when it's time to let go...

I shortlisted some cars that are compact/hatchback as I am not keen into driving a much bigger car, not even the Honda City.

Suzuki Swift: I've longed for that car since I first saw it. I still do. But my wallet and monthly expenses disagree with my choice, and so I had to let it go... for now.
Hyundai Getz: Something about its back, I don't like.
Kia Picanto: A very good friend told me, avoid Kia cars at all cost. If it weren't for that advise, I was really leaning towards this cutie.
Honda Jazz: Another beauty that would break my wallet.
Perodua MyVi: The new one, not the old. While I'm not that impressed with the new exterior design, I am enthralled by its interior. I don't know why, I just am. :P The purple is a beaut as well. My issue with this car is the new back which looks like a bigger Viva, and I had a bit of ego which didn't want to drive a car so common. So I tell myself, while I'm driving it, I'll be inside, not outside. So the interior matters more. It's gentle to my budget as well.

So MyVi it is. I now just hope I get to book one from the first batch (only 8000 units, launched 16 June)

Stress and Moodyness don't mix well

Today's a good day.

But not yesterday, not the day before. And a couple of days before that too. I had a mix of being stressed out and moody at the same time. And moody here is pretty much being at that snappy kind of person who gets annoyed so easily at small things.

Moody is that time of the month.

For some funny reason I'm not moody today.

So far so good.

missed gym. work. lunch with awesome ppl. work. PRIME. drop by the shop for onions and garlic. cooked dinner. dinner. blog

now with Miss April uploading a new blog template, I wants one too! :D

She's mah super cool colleague, whom I speak lolspeak with almost on a daily basis. Posted aboutz me once too :o I certainly wanna return the honour someday. This post definitely is not enough.

Nevertheless, even on good days, things can still go blah. But when it's a good day, it's a good day, where small things do not annoy you. Today's small thing that I can recall is my car's hand break not working :P It won't go up.

Hmm I have a bunch of random stuff in this post :D

Kereta Kecil Warna Merah

Bolehku bawa ke sekolah~

Yesterday, involved in the second accident this year. This time with my kelisa. End result:
This happened after my interview, as I was heading off from the bank. No, I wasn't driving :P

Now I'm car-less while it takes 3 days to fit in a new door and fix a bit of the body and repaint. At least, in this accident, the car need not be towed away, and I'm not stranded on the highway for 3 hours. The door is still somewhat functional, able to open and close, but the window can't go all the way down (who needs that anyway), and it does not shut tightly, thus, if I park in an open area, rainwater may flow in. We decided that it's probably best to get it replaced now, while Anuar is on school break, thus, we have an extra car to move about.

The interview was alright, not as nerve wrecking as I thought it would be, rather, pleasant, despite my lack of knowledge on anything.
