It's Sealed!

It's official! Sealed with a cheque! My family's 3rd car will be a Perodua Myvi!

EIther green or red (sister's choice, it's for her anyway), it will be the 1.3SX model. 1.3L 4-cylinder DOHC DVVT engine (That's more powerful compared to mine!!) with max power of 64kW, and 116Nm torque. Transmission: 5-Speed Manual. YES. MANUAL. Wee!

Alloy rims with no spoiler and no airbag (another RM3000 for those), it's once again a mimimalist car specification (like mine). The specs so far are quite okay. The only thing I dislike about Peroduas is that they have what they dub "Mechanically operated parking brakes". What on earth is this you ask? Is it good? Well, imagine a bicyle. Yes. THOSE brakes. Cable brakes.

Oh ya, this spec also has no ABS.

Update: Dad upgraded the order. It's now the SXi version!!! Woo! Means it now has spoiler, dual SRS airbags, and ABS with EBD!!! YAY!!! The drawback is that it's RM3k more expensive, and 10kg heavier. Managable... =D

Linnie here for more crap.

I sat in a a TOYOTA RAV4 yesterday.



Ok, so it was a 3 door Rav4 L, but a Rav4 nonetheless.

*swooooon*

And I was THIS close to driving it.
But just like the Nokia N70 from UK, I remembered I wouldn't be able to handle the costs if I ever damage them. I'd kill myself if I'd damage a car like the Rav4. L, I mean.

*sigh*

Shall continue admiring specimen at Gate C.



And in case you didn't check, my previous post bout that Jag has a comment by someone who runs this site and well, haha.

"Say No" craze

Well, basically, these two IM avatars exist...

So since I had NBTD, and that the biggiest online craze ISN'T really DotA anymore.. so.... I made this...

And lastly, Joanne made the most thoughtful one yet. A 'Say No' IM avatar that basically sums up Uni life:

Enjoy.

SE Day Out (Ern Li)

FInally! New PosT!

*crowd cheers!*

...

*crowd of 3 people*

Well, went out with Vi Ling, Shakira, Joseph Cheah, Shoban, Stephen, David, & Ivan Teng today after the 'Ambassador meeting'. It was supposed to be a movie trip, but due to the long indecision of 'certain' people, we missed the showtimes when we got to Summit USJ.

So.. what did we do then? Ice cream, shopping, and ARCADE! woot! Oh ya, also had ramen during tea-time. We actually wanted to take minipics, but the sole machine that can accomodate us all happen to not work. Ish. Too bad my parents brought the Exilim to Bali, or else I could have snapped some. Oh well, next time then.

Oh ya, also had a short drag race with Vi Ling's Kelisa. The initial pickup was freakin' fast. She overtook me initially. Initially. =P

On the way back, raced with yet another car. It was a white Mirage. Quite challenging, as both cars are short (easy to squeeze into lanes).
Reminded me of the race I had with a Vitara last week. But the Mirage's driver is really good. He entered pockets that I didn't even consider. Verdict? I got home with no victory. LOL.

I shoudl cut back on the accel pedal. I already consumed half of my fuel tank within two days. Not good. That's enough for 3-4 days. What did I do on Monday? Tested the limits of my car again, from KLIA to Uni.

Fellowship is fun. =D

Useless information. Linnie.

I saw a Jaguar 1942. Still functioning and running.
I wondered where it got its parts.
Was there with old and yellowed ribbons as some bridal car-display...
And then a new Jaguar came along. Woo...so classy.

*I want a Jag now!*

Never used to think Jags are pretty coz like the Volvo their designs were stupidly box-y and wide. Except for the jaguar in motion on the top of the hood, nothing else looked appealing. But the newer versions.....*drool*

Car prices dropped. Was in Sunday Star. Hmmm. No Toyota Rav 4 though. Meaning it's price probably didn't drop. Sigh.
