I Need Wheels!

Nine months of working and hitchhiking to go to and from work, I have decided to get a car. Not having a car and be mobile is getting into me. It's not convenient to move around grocery shopping or for an outing with friends and none of us having a car. Taxis here use fix rate. That's twenty bucks to the city. One way. And another twenty bucks going back. Madness.

So I set out to find what cars I'd like to have and I decided on three options. Toyota Vios, Perodua Myvi and Proton Satria Neo. But it is unlikely I'll be able to afford the Vios with a hefty price tag of 75 thousand minimum... I'll have to forgo that option. Sigh. I'm rather wary of owning a second hand car and the price is close to owning a new one. No point really...

Between the Myvi and Satria Neo, I'm not sure which. I've driven the Myvi but have yet to try the Satria Neo. I do like the Myvi but it lacks in engine power I feel. It could use a little push in that department I reckon. Anyone using or driven a Satria Neo before?

My dream car... If only the Vios isn't ridiculously expensive.

You know you love me.

Heatwaves

Normally people would complain about the weather being inconsistent like Katy Perry's Hot and Cold. It'll drive anyone to the brink of madness having sudden rain every five minutes. It's just as bad when you know the weather is going to be consistently scorching hot, day and night. Imagine 35 degrees Celsius constantly in the room...

Worse is at night when the weather is cool outside but the heat of the entire house is trapped in my room and the bed starts to act as a heater giving off trapped heat accumulated during the day time. Talk about the Greenhouse Effect in the house... I'm very tempted to turn on the air conditioning but it takes a lot of power to do so. Poking a gigantic hole to the rooftop has crossed my mind before. The only way to combat off the heat is a freezing cold glass of drink (the drinks even warm up to room temperature in minutes...), being in the nude and constant trips to the shower. Even that doesn't stop me from sweating like I just did a full Ironman Marathon.

Being surrounded by jungle fires does anything but make the weather cooler. Seems to be the season to start jungle fires for new crops. It got so bad that every night, smell of smoke permeates the air and constant haze. Even in such condition, I spotted my buffoon neighbour burning garbage in the open. What's wrong with throwing garbage into the garbage bin?

Weather forecast says it'll rain for the entire week. I really do hope it does. In fact, I'm hoping for a tropical storm. It's been awhile since it hit the city. Shall I do my native rain dance with my rain stick around the house?

You know you love me.
