Honda Civic

I have been thinking of changing a new car since a year ago. That time I was targeted on either Toyota Vios or Honda City. I even went to test drive, checked my car trade in value and etc. Yet I can't make up my mind. Mainly due to my budget and also, that two not really my dream car. ( But due to budget constrain, I have to pick the next best thing.) So, I just put the thought aside first.

Now, not sure what happen but out of no where, the thought appeared on my mind again for the past one month. Thus, I started to search for the car information again. This time, I was actually targeted on New Toyota Altis, but it was way too expensive and far from my budget. And after discussed with my brother, he is not suggesting Toyota Altis but Honda Civic, as he is driving one as well. First, Honda Civic is slightly cheaper than Altis, second, he has compared those two cars before and still think Civic is better, in term of out look and interior. Then, I asked a few friends for their opinion and yet all of them recommended Civic too.

I actually like Civic a lot, just that my bro has one, so don't feel like buying the same car. That's it. But now since Civic got such a good responses from many, thus, I locked my target on HONDA CIVIC !!


So, for the pass two weeks, I kept searching information of the car from friends, internet and start to do my budgeting. Then, met a car dealer to check my car trade in value and met the Honda Car sales gal which recommended by my bro to check the car's color. Silver is lasting but too common, so..... out of my consideration. Black is cool but hard to taking care of, so...out as well. Light blue....hmmmm.....as what shown on the pictures. (The actual color is much much lighter ) which is not bad but to me, it only the second best color. Of course I have to pick the best one, which is Spackle Grey !!! (for me la)

Thus, after test drive yesterday, I finally booked it !!! Too bad it has to wait for 2 to 3 months due to high demands for Civic in the market. My mood is like high and low at the same time. High, because excited and can't wait for the new car. Low, because have to wait long and I can't spend like how I used to be.....

Anyway, am still happy and looking forward for my dream car to come !!! Honda Civic, come to me fast fast !!!

Spending habits

Started 1st of May, I started to list out my monthly expenses and break it into fix, additional, and miscellaneous. Only now I know I actually can easily save at least 2K per month. OMG !! but why until now I still unable to save money and yet still owe 5.6K for my credit card ???? Why ? Why ? Why ? WHAT ELSE !! Cause you never plan and spend without control !!!!.. (crying....)

Well, this has to change !!! So, I started jot down every single cents I spend each day. Then, I went to clear all my credit card debt. Whahah... am debt free now, feel so happy.

Actually, the main purpose that I am trying to save money is because........I wanna change a new car and I have targeted on........Honda Civic !! My dream car !!!.

Honda Civic, here I come !!! Wait for me !!!
