haven’t been revising on my jap much especially on kanji (漢字). got a dreaded feeling that i might jus fail this mid term test badly~

yea i know, i gotta buck up and what not. but truth be told, although having a dedicated japanese learning software on my iphone (it’s also a flash-card software plus a dictionary plus a walking phrasebook!) learning a language somewhat still requires human interaction. it might jus be my excuse, but i really feel handicapped without someone to practice the language with.

nevertheless, i shall carry on till the term is over and might consider taking a short break.

btw, the wait for the car to be ready is agonizing.. @_@

test drive!

went to borneo motors (bm) for a test drive on the vios new facelift model. in case you didn’t know, bm is offering up to $6k discounts for their toyotas, depending on which model you’re looking at. for vios, it was a $5k discount off their rrp.

the ride was sorta smooth, despite i could hear the engine on a straight road at 90k. revving it makes it even more audible. not a big issue for me though as i’m used to hearing the engine sound on my proton iswara manual.

the interior is somewhat lacking but what could we ask for? it’s a lower end sedan.
the SE offered free leather seats + solar film + car spa package if we take up their G model at $57,888.
verdict: 6.5/10

in the end, we walked away and went to another dealer. this time, we went to see the honda fit. negotiations went well, and eventually booked one! estimated delivery to be mid feb as the car is already in the port. colours wasn’t much of a choice (we wanted ready stocks) as we were left with brilliant sky or black. hence we went ahead with brilliant sky. yup, it’s the same colour as greg’s fit! >,<

at last

after years of using my trusty old se k800i, it’s time for a new upgrade. and yea, regardless of what most people think, “oh no, not another ihavecommonphone”, honestly i don’t care!

after 3 generations with the 4th coming soon, it’s finally in my hands. =D

*fiddles with app stores*

last sat, we went out with greg and gin on an impromptu visit to automobile megamart. we were looking for a car, presumably vios or fit until we were introduced honda insight hybrid. totally captivated by the interior as well as the exterior, i couldn’t bring myself to leave the driver’s seat. soft turn on the smart key knob and the engine starts silently.

does anyone know if honda’s insight hybrid is worth considering?

happy new year!
