My ride finally arrived. Left work early to pick it up from the distro center off Pasir Panjang. After a long wait in the customer lounge; finally caught sight of SGP6076A.

…. and within the short time span of a week, it chalked up over 500km. It is a long beast and parking turns out to be a great challenge. So far so good; Starting to get a good feel of the handling - hopefully, by CNY 2007 will see me zipping around town like a pro.

More pix can be found here.

*sigh* another two days before the black beau arrives…

I wonder how much live would be changed due to this?

Yahooo!! another hurdle overcomed. Yep, getting there step by step. Should be cruising in MY black Camry 2.4G before xmas ;).

Itchy butt, got me-self a brand new black Nokia 6288 handset. Cost only S$28 with a 2 year contract with Starhub…. the lost cost is due to an offset from a $200 voucher. *sweet*

A nice gadget, am just begining to test out all the features. The best part IMO is the built-in radio and media player… unfortunately only plays MP3 and AAC. Good thing is that external mem-card is supported; mini-sd; though a little limited in capacities, but should be sufficient for the time being.

Actually this purchase was driven by the upcoming Camry 2.4G - has a built-in bluetooth function to link up with BT capable phones… my current handset being a lowly spec model, to utilize this means getting a new piece. Guess it’s about time I play catch up with the rest of the new gen. in terms of handphone tech.

Tested it out with my laptop - works like a charm

Went to test drive several make and models in the past two weeks.

Was at Borneo Motors on 11th - took a peek at the Camry and Lexus :D !! Didn’t really intended to test drive, but the sales girl was very persistent. My 1st time driving a SUV was a RX350!

Luxurious to say the least. Was kind of nervous, being the 1st time driving a $170k car and a SUV - the elevated position and large vehicle does not help. But surprisingly, it gets really comfortable once out of the gate. Simply amazing… must be partly the high of being in a Lexus for the 1st time! (more…)

I’ve been playing with the idea long enough. Finally, taking a serious look and narrow down to the following candidates;

Mark-X 2.5
Harrier 2.4G
Camry - JDI
Accord Euro 2.0 I-VTEC

They are sorted in the order of preference… though the top two are more like 50-50 !! Financing any of these is no small feat… the key decider is probably securing the perm post with Wyeth (+ some increase in pay) :D.
