Mum's New Ride

Prior to Raya last month, my Mum-in-law received the delivery of her new car to replace the old Kelisa. Another Perodua, but this time a Viva. Just as nimble as the Kelisa, but bigger.

Personally I preferred the old Kelisa. Easier to manoeuvre and possibly better mileage per gallon. The maintenance and repairs were also very cheap and they hardly ever break down. Nice little car. But being almost 15 years-old made the car creaked everywhere. It was time to change.

One thing I noticed about this new car was the turning radius. It was so much easier to park the Kelisa before this. The air cond was also not as powerful as the Kelisa. But those were minor gripes.

Still a decent car for the price, although only time will tell if it is as durable as the old Kelisa ....

Wash Well Big Boy

After a couple of weeks without a shower and all the traveling, my car needs some loving. Even though we took to van to Penang, the car was left in the car park at the apartment, semi-abandoned.

Poor boy.

So, right after the ward round this morning, I spotted that the car wash was empty and swiftly did the trick. Wash well Big Boy!

Fixed

Last week, I managed to damage ny side mirror at the car park at Park City. The actual derails should remain unmentioned, but suffice to say that I had to get it fixed.

Puan Anita stepped in and organised the car to be picked up and the parts ordered. Which was a great help actually.

Now that it was fixed, I could use it again to get to work. No more lugging around the MPV about town.

Mixed Bag

It was one of those days which begun so serenely. I was surprised at how smooth the traffic was as I madre my way to Ara Damansara to begin the day with a meeting there. Reached there on time, and the meeting commenced immediately. No time wasted. Great start.

I decided to only do the daily visit at SJ in the afternoon as I have no pressing matter there this morning. So, off I went to Park City. Again, smooth traffic. Where had everybody gone.

Finished my clinic and referral with plenty of time to spare before a meeting at 1 pm. Decided to go to town for lunch, and this was where the day was spoilt. I hit my side mirror on one of the concrete beams reversing out of my parking spot. Sigh!

The rest of the day just went by. Would have to get my side mirror sorted then. Would cost me a bit of money then for the parts. The day could've been better ....... well, it could've been worse ..... Have a good Monday all.

Funky Ride

Parked right next to me at the Doctor's area was this rather funky looking Range Rover. A quick look at the number plate revealed that it was at least 25 years-old. The chassis was relatively well-maintained.

But I doubt that it has WiFi on board though ....... I have yet to test it. Maybe I'll try it next time.
