i dont really understand the need to charge expensive prices towards international cars coming into Malaysia....i mean i know that it is done so to promote the sales of local cars but seriously i think this is so beyond comprehension..why the need to charge really expensive prices?Malaysian buy local cars because they have to..sorry that is so off...FORCED TO...buy local cars because the imported cars are so expensive....they cant afford it with they current salary.. and trust me living in kl isnt cheap....but in reality the local cars quality are like rubbish...i know cuz i drive a local car...and i bang into someone a few month ago and guess what..the damaged to my car is so bad compare to the Hyundai car that i bang which has a small dent..so small that i thought i didnt hit the car...but my car has the front bumper wedge out like the top of a sardine can after u open it..and another incident which i saw a Perdana hit a Vios..the perdana was like a crush can but the vios was like a person saying what happened here cuz it was undented...which cause you to think the quality and most important of all the safety level of the car...i mean my parent pay nearly 60k for my car but it is nearly the same price for a Jazz in thailand and australia...and honda has won numerous safety award...so again why?...why should we use low quality,crudely made local car when we SHOULD have opt for a better imported cars...i mean i dont mind buying local cars but with that kind of quality and god knows the safety level...who is willing to buy it as it is expensive but not up to its quality(we buy it cause there is no other choice)..so please make imported cars cheaper or make local cars better...way way way better...

dilemma...which one??

which one??..yes that is the question...which one should i choose??...if u guys read the post about the car that i wanted to be my next car..the honda civic...well i come across another car that has caught my attention and right now im beginning to fall for it even deeper..with turbo engine and sleek design...its every racer's dream car...but the down side of it is it has a so so interior..compare to civic which has a cool interior..but a so so exterior..the caldina price is a lil bit expensive than the civic..if u want with the turbo engine which has a 2.6 plus turbo engine will cost u about 160k or more...but if u are satisfied with a normal engine which i think is the same as wish then it is around 130k..i read in some of the cars forums and they say that if u wanna buy caldina then its better with the turbo engine cuz it is more worthwhile...well im still analyzing the stats, pros and cons and of course the price range...so wait for more info...wheeew...

well folks the holiday come by again and this time im stuck at home with a really slow internet connection...this is really pathetic..i've been using broadband for almost a year n to tell u guys the truth im not happy with it...of course all of u will be saying..then u should've change to streamyx or something..well folks..streamyx only works if ur in the house..and eventhough they have a new service which lets the streamyx subscriber use internet outside of their home using a single account name..it is limited to kl only..this is annoying..i mean i travel a lot and i require an internet service that is quick and reliable...meaning when thunder start to happens it doesn't cause the signal to drop drastically..i an still wandering as why in segamat the line there is so fast i can download in a matter of minutes but when i come to kl...the line is so slow that when i open a webpage..it'll take ages to finish...this sucks..to think that in segamat i can obtain high speed but in kl itself..a metropolitan city...with a lot of internet users..to be slow..is undeniable pathetic..or maybe there is other reasons that cause the broadband speed to slow in kl which i dont know...anyhow i hope i can continue study in kl and then will i subscribe to streamyx at my house...so maybe some of u guys out there can create a device that can boost the speed and signal of broadband to achive its maximum performance...until next time..
