We own our first car!!!
After some searching n being irrational, we own the first item TOGETHER --> a car!! This is the first item that we shared and buy together, hope there will be more to come.. hehe...
Went to collect our car on Sat.. Alot of unhappy things happened between the car dealer and us between the 6 days that we place our deposit and went for collection.. Dun wanna elaborate much on that but i have to tell those who wish to get a car.. Go n do some serious research b4 buying one, mus check out whether there are any admin fees and also best is go with someone who knows the market or car well..
We were not really very excited about the collection but once we start driving the car.. Well, the feel is totally different.. I drove around the area to familiarise with the car first b4 we leave the place.. Ever since i got my license, i have never dorve a manual car b4, i totally lost the feel of driving a manual car.. Thk i will need more practise..
We drove to a nearby petrol kiosk to top up our petrol.. A full tank cost about 34 bucks.. Totally different from my dad's car which cost about 160 for a full tank... We went to Bugis to bai bai first.. hehe.. Finding a parking lot there is damn difficult.. We waited for abour half an hour b4 we could get one.. By the time we went to bai bai its about 430 already... We shop ard the area b4 going to dear's place n rest until 9..
We check online for the famous turtle soup ard Macpherson area.. I am not really familiar of the road at the east.. So have to check the directory.. I think me & dear is really very li hai cause jus by looking at the online directory, we are able to manuveour to the exact place.. haha.. The turtle soup is really very nice..
After that, we drove to Toa Payoh to buy chicken wings b4 going to Yishun and buy Soya milk.. Haha.. Went to alot of place today, that's the good thing about having a car cause we are able to drive ard looking for cheap and delicious food that is not so accessible without a car.. :)
As for today, dearr, drove to NUS to play soccer with his frenz while i stay at home to slp until 1230.. haha. Din join mummy they all to go JB cause duno wat time they gonna come back and normally when we go JB, i will feel very tired when i come back..
Dear came to my place n fetch me after he is done with his game.. We decide to go to Tampines Ikea for our lunch and walk ard, he has not been there b4.. Had a really sumptuous lunch.. After that, we walk ard the place and i got a cushion for our car.. It still seems quite empty.. Need to decorate abit..
We decide to go to East Coast and nua there.. The sea breeze is really soothing.. Walking along the designated walkway with the wind blowing on my face, i have never felt so relaxed for a very long time.. Think East Coast will become one of my fav hangout place.. We went to the coffeebean and ordered a drk.. Dear was reading his books and i was reading the newspaper and seeing the crowd.. Wow, its a perfect sunday man... hehe...
We went to sit along the beach.. How i wish i have a picnic mat in the car, it will be damn cool to be able to laze on the picnic mat and enjoy the breeze with a book.. haha.. We left ard 7 and decide to go to Geylang for Dim Sum.. Decide to give it a miss once we reach there cause its really hard to get a parking lot there.. We went to Chong Pang for Nasi Lemak instead.. haha..
Can see dear was really quite tired after playing soccer and a long day out.. So i wan him to go back early to rest.. After eating, he sent me back home b4 going back with the car.. The car will be with him first until we are able to get a parking lot at his workplace.. :)
The lifestyle after getting a car is really diff.. Can go alot of place and do alot of things which its hard for us to do in the past.. Within 2 days, we went to alot of places.. In fact, we are thinking to go overseas for roadtrip already..
Really hope the car will not give us alot of problem.. Well, i know that getting a 2nd hand car will have its risk and also the car dealer description of the car will not always be the truth.. But i really hope at least, if some problems do occur, it wont be major one.. :)
