After a long weekend of fun and games, it's back to work.

I feel that I'm getting better at it, and my Mandarin improved too, as almost 100% of the resellers I meet are Chinese.

I reckon my Mandarin is better than when I was back in Singapore.

I've got a colleague who is looking to get a new car. I reckon the best time to purchase one is towards the end of the financial year, as many will slash their prices.



I love my Skyline. It's such a thrill to drive around, just a light tab on the accelerator will send the car ahead of everyone else on the road.

My experience with driving a sports car has been positive so far, with no dirty looks from other wannabe racers on the road so far.

Maybe I don't look "beng" enough, which is not a bad thing I guess. I don't know whether am I being too overly sensitive, but cars seems to give way to me when I turn on my blinkers. I used to have quite a hard time changing lane, but now it seems like a breeze.

Perhaps they thought that a drug pushing thug was behind the wheel, and I can feel their disappointment when they peep into the driver's seat and see me.

During uni days, when we go lunching at Little Taipei, there would be rows of WRXs, Evos and Skylines at the parking lot, usually driven by rich Asian kids. I would usually check out their customised number plates (read YANG 88), roll my eyes, and labeling them as showoffs.

Talking about being judgmental.

So, if you are looking too for a new ride, remember choosing the right insurance will save you heaps of money.

You bought a bloodly old piece of junk and called it sports car. Model is old and unwanted.. and look at those yellow car plate..people give you way is because they scared you take your junk and bang into their cars..get it? You should know the risk of old cars, higher risk of breakdown and faulty components.... lucky salesman to offload it..
