Proton Saga and the BIG house

Friday 18th Jan 08 was one date that i was looking forward to. Why?? It's been said in the net that the new Proton Saga was going to be launched. So at exactly 530pm i opened up the normal website that i get my sources from and read through their review on the new saga. So after 6pm, i went home straight to fetch my wife at home and go to the showroom. It was already crowded by the time we got there. Previouly i like to visit a alot of car showrooms when they have a new launch but this time i guess it was overwhelming. Even the Myvi's showroom was not packed as this one went i went down to take a look at the car.

Aiman, Sofea and wifey with the new saga

Aiman, wifey and Sofea tag along to see the car. Well, we couldn't quite see it clearly coz there was a lot of people gathering around the car. But finally managed to enter the car and take a closer look at it. I'm not gonna review the car here coz there are a lot of reviews out there and one can also go to the showroom and judge for themselves. Overall for me it was a great car for the price of it. The most expensive line was around 39xxx on the road and the middle line or B-Line was priced around Rm35k. If we were going to choose a 2nd car, then this would be it. It's better then viva in many terms, especially price and size. Compared to a MyVi, i would say, internally the cabin size of the MyVi seems a bit more wider and taller, but the MyVi does suffer from boot storage space and it is also priced higher. So this car would be a value for money if one was buying it.


Unfortunately this was not the case for us coz we already have a Gen2 for our second car. So no plans of purchasing one soon. But it would be great of owning one but i'm sure in a few months time, it's gonna flood the streets of Malaysia just as the Waja and MyVi has. So for the new owners, hope they have a great time with their new car. Hope the saga lives up to it's name. I used to own one and it was a very economical car to run. Good job Proton.

The new definition of big is this house

Saturday evening we had set up and appointment with Rahman, to view a bungalow house. This house was promoted by my dad as he seems to like it a lot. The build up size is around 5500 square feet. That would be equivalent to 2 of our link house in Alam Budiman and the current condo that we live in....that's how the size is if one would want to imagine how big it is. I think the living room alone is bigger then our house now....Shheeesshh....It's a 2 1/2 storey with 6 rooms and 4 bath room if not mistaken. It was damn huge until we wouldn't know how to decorate it if we lived there...

The asking price was RM 950, 000. If agreed, a 10% deposit would have to be paid first....Hmmm, the 5k out of the RM95k i can try to help out, but the balance RM9ok, well.... good luck with that.... For me if i had the money i would probably buy it. It's a good deal actually.... but i couldn't afford one. So it's up to Jie if she wanna purchase it.... Monthly payment would be around RM 5700 over... hahaha

After viewing the house, papa took us all for a treat at Pha-pha Garden Seafood Restaurant at Melawati.... Oh well, since we couldn't buy a new Proton Saga and afford the big bungalow house, at least we got to fill our stomach with Ikan masak 3 rasa, sotong goreng garing, tom yam, telur dadar, daging masak merah, tempura, sayur kangkung (ggggrrrrrrr, stomach already making noise :-D ) and my drink, the ice blended Soursop Guava....
