New Set Of Wheels

I do wish I would be writing about a new car I just bought, dumping that piece of metal junk that causes me nothing but heartache and a huge hole in my wallet.

But I can’t.

However, after months of procrastinating, I finally got my rims and all my tyres changed. The front tyres is do damn botak I could see tear marks, “No more worries about exploding tyres,” I explained to JM. I’ve been driving around with apprehension, taking corners slower than a snail.

Unfortunately, as much as I would have liked to change to a better, more aesthetically appealing and also sturdier rims, I ended up buying the exact same ones because times are hard these days, better not over indulge. Even though my justification was, “I intend to drive this car for another 3 years at least, might as well get a decent one,” but the offer given to me was too sweet to turn away.

LIM TAYAR has inadvertently saved my life and I am now enjoying my new set of wheels. Ah…



People, I strongly recommend that bloody place. Don’t let its intimidating, expensive looking façade scare the living crap outta you. Just go. If you are skeptical, just get a quote. You’d be amazed. Every other shop was quoting me at RM600+, bordering RM700 for the standard rim. At LIM TAYAR…for a set of rims (4) and tyres plus alignment and balancing…

The grand total was, RM422.

Best thing to have happened to me in a while.

Hullabaloo & Wake-Up Calls

Days ago, another close friend of mine sensationally announced his plan to marry his girlfriend of a year albeit in the most corny approach. He did it via Facebook.

Naturally, when it was announced, it wasn’t said in the most clear-cut fashion. No one took it seriously. In fact, no one believed it. Heck, I didn’t believe it myself ‘till I personally rang him up. Just to be sure.

With the controversy it attracts, sometimes I think, is this for real or just a mean of being convenient? I hope this is all for the right reasons. The rush to tie the knot doesn’t help chase away the hullabaloo.

“Whatever it is dude,” a friend had previously asked for my 2cents on this ‘surprise’ announcement, “There’s nothing we can do or say to him,” because the ‘Bubble Factor’ is already in place. Nothing gets thru. No matter how obvious. If it should all go wrong.

But hey, his one of my closest friends. I wish him all the best.

I am reconstructing my life. At 25 (soon 26), I can’t be carrying all this excess baggage with me anymore. It doesn’t seem to worth the effort anymore. My back starts to hurt. My shoulders are heavy. My legs are weary. My eyes are disillusioned. These pieces on the floor that needs picking up, perhaps I’d just sweep it all off and make a new one.
