A1GP 2008

I've never been to Sepang International Circuit (SIC), although it has been there for ages. One of the reason is probably due to price of the ticket which is expensive and also the circuit itself which located quite far (60 km from my house).

However, last weekend I was invited by a friend of mine to the A1GP (the world cup of GP) at SIC and since it's free (complimentary ticket) I decided to go. It was fantastic, definitely it's totally different comparing just watching it from the TV and being there. The bursting sound of the engines, it's out of this world.

Although , our driver Fairuz Fauzi only manage to grab 10th position (due to radio error), still he did very well. Looking forward to another opportunity...hopefully Formula 1 in Sepang 2009 !!!

MY POCKET FINANCIAL CONTROLLER

Monitoring daily expenditure is something that I've done for quite some time and I've to admit , it do works well. I always have this small pocket book that will be always with me and I'll track down all my expenditure. It's good especially when looking at the details and knowing where's my dollar and cents went to.

At least at the end of the month when the the reserve is nearly empty , I can look back at the pocket book and will scold myself for spending so unwisely.

MY RIDE ....

I've been driving my beloved Daihatsu Ascend for the past 7 years. I've bought it from a very good friend of mine who is at that time was being relocated to Singapore for a 2 year assignments.

Well, I've to admit it's not a ferarri or bmw or merc ..but It suits my needs (which is definitely not for speed), it's low on fuel consumption and easy to drive. My daily mileage is about 80 km and my ASCEND 1.6 only need RM 10 of fuel.

Not many on the road but it's a bigger version of Daihatsu Charade. So the next time you come across a purple Daihatsu Ascend with a registration number of WGQ 4693 ...do give a HONK ....

A NEW MPV FROM PROTON

The above banner is actually part of the promotion for the eagerly waited PROTON first MPV. I personally think they should have done it much earlier since MPV (Multi Purpose Vehicle) is getting very popular in this country.

It has been like a trend where most family in this country (from what I've seen) have 2 cars. One is the small, not so fuel consuming type of car to go the office and the next will be the family car which is the MPV.

I really hope that Proton will come up with a very good design and good pricing since the 2 is often look by Malaysian when they're buying car.
