P1 is here in Seri Kembangan!! The wait is finally over!! Now I can ditch that stupid Streamyx once and for all and switch over to a world of fast surfing! Or is there?

23rd March 2009

I had not intended to get it at first. I had wanted to go to Jusco Equine to have my mom’s glasses fixed. Then I saw the P1 roadshow going on there. Upon inquiry I found out that my home has got coverage! I couldn’t believe my ears at first, I thought the guy was just pulling my leg just to get sales. But at the same time, a young chinese couple were signing up for the service as well, and they stay in the same taman as mine! Good enough for me, I immediately signed up!

In my entire life of living (more than 30 full years of them) I have owned two cars, one a basic Proton Iswara 1.3 (manual) model, and a Proton Wira 1.5GL (auto). Both cars served me well. They does the job well. 4 wheels, roof over my head (although the Iswara has already developed holes by the time I sold it), air-conditioned (always spoilt), and it gets me from point A to point B. No complains on that.

But Proton, being a Proton that we all know, has never really “grown up”. I liken this to a baby, suckling from his mother from birth, right up till he has come of age, when he can do things on his own and earn a living independently from his mother. Imagine, a 20-year-old baby still suckling from his mother?! His younger brother Perodua has already matured by leaps and bounds and has recently overtaken Proton to become to number 1 car maker since the year 2006!

Is that standard accessory with the Proton?

Went on a Langkawi trip with my entire family. It marked a few firsts achievements with that feat. My first time trip to bring the entire trip on a airplane. Hui Yan and Yan Yan’s first airplane ride, although I highly doubt that Hui Yan will have any recollection of it. My parent’s first AirAsia trip to LCCT. On that early morning of 4th March 2009, Cheng’s hubby Kar Weng came to fetch us to LCCT on his hydrogenized Saga BLM 1.3. (It did not feel sluggish although it had a full load with 5 adults and 2 kids. More on that later)

Arrived at Langkawi finally after struggling to calm both the girls down. Hui Yan finally succumbed to tiredness in our lap, something extremely rare.

Upon touching down, we went to the nearest car rental counters. After haggling the price with 3 dealers, we finally settled for a …… Proton Wira 1.5 Auto! The exact same car I drive to work everyday! Bummer! Well, it’s RM150 for 3 days, what more can we ask for?

The car is so-so only:

• It’s got no alarm, have to key-lock manually.
• Gear box is jerky going from stand-still
• The rear sensor is busted

Otherwise it’s a fine car, fuel-injected, very powerful and good for a round of hard-cornering.

Hotel Helang. Eagles are everywhere!

Hui Yan is almost 11 months now. She is starting to crawl a lot, but she can already stand on her own, albiet a bit unstable. Her teeth are not showing yet, but she has already started on her porridge diet. Will she be able to walk just like her sister during her first birthday, just like her sister? Only time will tell.

Meanwhile enjoy some of her pictures.
