+..On Freestyle & Viva?..+

I can finally do the correct freestyled swimming, for a full to & fro Olympic size pool!
Woohooo!! Yeehoo!!...

Sounded lame, doesn't it?
Yeah, I know.

But I've been trying in vain to get the rhythm and the "right" way even though my Lou Sher already taught her best to us (well maybe some of us). All the necessary tips and all..after all these years..."Remember, practise makes perfect" Uhuhu...and how I was so "rajin" to swim, huh?

Thru perseverence (while swimming, you accidentally drank the heavy chlorinated water thru your mouth and nose), thru observation "Wah! Look at that gal, how come she's so consistent? "(of not stopping to take a breather?) and thru swallowing the critics from my friends...

I finally got my own swimming rhythm yesterday. Perhaps of the good mood? No big worries? No heavy debts (I love to watch the show "Till Debt Do us Part" on Channel 77) <--Azam DID play his role to influence my spending habit. Yeah. I'm surviving.

Oh yeah! Did you know that I was thinking of buying that Viva? Its a slimmer version of Myvi. I did my own Internet research thru forums, blogs and their own webby. I found out that eventho its a good, safer car (than Kelisa + Kancil)...but its totally, totally mindblowingly EXPENSIVE!!! For a premium 1.0 Exi, I (if I ever decided to buy it) need to part with a farking RM44K!!!

Shite! Damn Expensive! I tried to compare it with a Myvi Premium, specs to specs. For an additional RM5K, I think, Myvi still a better car. A K-Car for RM44K? Nah...I pass. To satisfy my lust of power, design and safety features [and all that girly extras like vanity mirror at the driver's sunshade, extra compartments, height adjustable seat (for pendex gal like moi), retractable side mirrors with signals, ABS (+EBD), DVVT, DOHC, 14" tyres (means extra petrol), foldable backseats for extra luggages, with spoiler for that sporty look], I think my Obit is A-OK!! Woohoo Obit Rocks cos even though it was not equipped with an MP3 player like some imported cars, but hey! It does NOW with a lil trick I did!! I lurrrrveeee my Obit! Muahs Obit!!

So I've asked the so called salesman (with his panda eyes, looking like a hangover),
[I drove a Myvi there. So he cannot bluff an ordinary looking gal like moi on *any* Perodua cars. I've tested and driven Kancil (old n new), Kelisa, Kembara (oh yeh this is a 4by4 ehehe), Kenari n Myvi). I meant I *really* tested e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. Especially performance wise...hehehehe...

"So I guess Viva has EBD while Myvi doesn't. Right?"
" No Viva only has ABS. What is EBD btw?"
"Huh? You DON'T KNOW what EBD is?"
"Its ABS, right?"
"Technically, no. ABS stands for Anti-Lock Braking System, but EBD means Electronic Brakeforce Distribution." <-------I was so frustrated this man doesn't even know shite what he's selling!! Further, these jargons were widely used man! DUHHH!!!
"Kalau macam tu, EBD tu kan ke ABS?"
[ This question is crucial to determine Viva's bombing pricing as compared to Myvi]

I ignored him...such a waste of good aura talking things that he could not even digest!
And he dared calling himself a Perodua salesman? heee malu weiii~@!
Aku yg pompuan ni lagi terer technical...

No satisfaction in Viva window-shopping. Stoopid Salesman + No test Drive but I walked out smiling nonetheless. Cos I don't have a solid reason to spent another 5-7 years on car debts. I can save lotsa moolah! Plus, since Ms. Comey n Ms.Esdee already bought a superlink double storey home at Section 7 and Putra Perdana respectively, its a motivation for moi to get one too!! As a libertie independent woman, I ought to have one without relying on another gender to buy it for moi (aka spouse, if this EVER transpires). Yes!!! Go Go Moi!
