City beast

Posted by gbum on 3/10/2009 10:55:00 PM
The search for my Billy bob has finally come to an end when I paid booking fees for the sexy the-all-new Honda city yesterday. I'm stil excited! Let's cross fingers, hoping loan process etc runs smoothly. This will be my sec biggest purchase after my Parkville (I refuse to call it park villa).

I'm getting the 's' grade, the lower end model. And polished metal metallic color a.k.a dark grey. Probably have to wait til end April/early May.

And now the question is, should I tint the car now or should I wait? Hmmmm...

Battle of the Sexy Beast continues

Posted by gbum on 3/07/2009 06:14:00 AM
Just came back from test drive sx4 n Honda city. Il let u guys know my experience test driving this 2 sexy beast! And if u guys expecting review of the engines n shit, FORGETIT! Me know shit bout engines

3 o'clock when I arrived at Suzuki Bangsar showroom. The girl that I made an appointment with wasn't there. She's on leave, I was told later. While waiting for tash I went to snoop around sx4. It's like Monet, only nice from far. Well in my humble opinion at least. Exterior is sturdy, impressive and CUTE. Interior is a different case altogether. It looks very plasticky and toy like. It's quite compact. I was told by the girl I made appointment with that sx4 is iPod compatible but guess what? IT'S NOT! Well, not iPod ready at least. That's quite misleading. And all this while I was snooping around, the sa was behind me n din say anything. He doesn't know how to sell! Tash came n we went for a test drive. She drove. I was quite takut to drive at first. Helooo! Only driving my own car for 8 years n never anything els. It's quite a smooth ride. Then I took over the steering wheel. NERVOUS! First thing I saw was the side mirror. It's huge! Hehe. Which is good I suppose. Wow this piece of machine was beginning to impress me. It's really light! Drove around Bangsar for at least 10 mins. All in all i'd give 3 out of 5 for smooth ride and 0.5 for interior styling.

Then wr off to Honda showroom which is just a block away. The sa called me before wr arrived just like he said. Man, I think they need to to sumthing with the parking space at this area. Thank god, there's not many ppl. We were greeted by the sa. Very friendly chap. The new Honda city is parked impressively in front of the showroom. Black in colour. First look I thot it was a civic. WOW! It's bold, classy and defo looks sturdy. Sporty too!. N he showed me the interior. And that's when I made up my decision. It certainly carries that Honda classiness. Black carpet mat, dark blue-ish seat (water repellant). AND ITS IPOD READY. I brought my iPod along just for this purpose. The sa told me to test it out. He pretty much said to treat it like my own car. There's a lot of compartment to put ur knick knacks. I'm luvin the velvety seat stil. The backseat is really spacious. Ample headroom and comfortable leg space. We went inside the showroom to talk $$! Meanwhile tash is impressed by the new jazz. Luvin the turqoise colour on jazz stil, tash! The sa showed me the new interest loan rate from the bank. It's even lower now. Outside it started to rain. They offered me extra rm500 discount and smart tag with rm50 top up. NOICE! What sx4 sa offered me was tshirt n umbrella. Haha. It's time for a test drive. My heart was thumping. The rain made me even more nervous. But the sa guy was really accommodating and made sure i'm comfortable for the ride. It's not as light as sx4s but defo sturdier. It's really smooth and can't hear the engine whirring or whatsoever. Oh anyway, I test drove grade e which is the higher spec with paddle shift and audio control on the steering wheel. And tevin Campbell is blasting away from my iPod. Tasha said the backseat is so spacious, she had to move forward to hear me n the sa spoke. I did tekan minyak for a bit around hartamas area for testing purposes. Vroooooommm! Great! No jerky, nuthin! Unlike my billy bob! (luvin u stil billy bob). Eh wait, one thing I noticed there's no wiper at the back. Should I be worried? And I think I adjusted the seat too high, at one point my feet was dangling! Hahaha. All in all i'd give 2.5 out of 5 for smooth driving and 3.5 for interior styling.

Tasha later decided to give it a go at the jazz. It's really a cute n nice car but waaay out of my budget.

So I guess pretty much, u guys know now which sexy beast i'm gonna get.

Suzuki sx4 crossover or the new Honda city?

Posted by gbum on 3/04/2009 08:40:00 AM
I guess it's time for me to change my Billy Bob (that's what I call my car). I try not to change car by all means with starting to pay house loan instalment next year and what not but jeeeezz...can't go up Damansara hills every morning to work is pretty bad!

Did a little research, sx4 price is a bit on the steep side but the design is amazing and kinda cute. But one thing that concern me tho is the boot space. That's gonna be a major problem when going back to BP. My beloved mum LUVESSSS to angkut all the thing she couldv when at going travelling. Ok that's one. Two, it's 1.6, so I guess fuel consumption won't be as hot as city.

The new Honda city is kinda ok with the design bit even tho I'm not too sure with the grille design. It looks too much like optimus prime. Side profile is devilishly looking good, the back ... ERKKK! Economic fuel consumption would probably what sell me the car and oh the boot space. Oh have I mentioned both cars are compatible with iPod. WOOHOO!

Ok I guess I'm gonna have to make a lil visit to Honda showroom after test driving sx4...

Il post a picture of what car il b buying. Stay tune!

a day out with Amy

Posted by gbum on 8/09/2008 07:53:00 AM
Saturday Aug 9 08.

We were suppsoed to go out at 12ish but ended up arriving at sunway Pyramid at 2! haha. with the wrong u-turning at wrong apt, im grateful i was be able to pick amy up. Lord, how m i gonna move to Puchong in 2 years time? haha. Wow is all i can say about the new Sunway pyramid or more like the new wing of sunway Pyramid. THE TOILET. I LUV IT! They have like different different colors for the toilets. Red toilet, blue toilet etc. I like the red room, very tres tres chic! theyr really revamping the place. But they cant revamp the crowd, can they? haha.

Ouuu..we makand at this one balinese restaurant called Ole-ole Bali. YUMMSSS! i cant remember the name of the dish i had but its like rice with muttons with other side dishes. its absolutely scrumptious. With that price, its better be! hehe. The atmosphere is balinese (need i say more?), decor etc. Well, u know what im talking about by looking at the fabulous piccies here:

After lunch..we went strolling in the NEW sunway Pyramid. I ended up buying more stuff when i vowed not to make any more purchases this month! No shopping for me next month.

So, at around 5.30 we left to puchong. the traffic was ok, its saturday so i think most of puchongites stayin at home or do whatever theyr doing on Saturday! I missed the wrong flyover so that took us to the other side of Bukit Puchong. I freaked out at first but when i saw Bukit Hitam office, i know i was at the right area.

oh! oh! i was super excited to see my parkville. the construction is really pickin up! Major construction goin on the 1st phase. I cant really see what progress theyr at my house because of the hoarding. But by looking at things, i have the feeling its gonna be ready before Oct 2012. DANG IT! I need to save more money for reno, thats all.

On the way back we made a tiny visit to Ametis Terrace, the neighboring property. its pretty! well with the kind of price theyr paying..i think theyv got what theyr paying for. mmm..but i dont quite like the design for Classic, its a bit too brown for my taste. They shouldv carried the same orange to accentuate the lower area (facade for the ground floor). between Classic and Contempo, i would prefer Contempo both for the design and lay out. Oh sorry, Contempo and Classic are the names for the design in Ametis Terrace. Both design comes with water feature in front (back mebe?) of the house.
