COE bidding is today!
My initial involvement in getting a new ride is somewhat lackadaisical. I'm fine with public transport and bike but i have my worries in regards to zack's safety on the road. That's why he always msgs/calls me whenever he is leaving or just arrived at his destination. I'm a natural worrywart. He had gotten into a couple of minor accidents and it's no fault of his. That's the major disadvantage of riding a bike. You pay for other driver's mistake. And i certainly can't wait to get him off the bike.
But the cost of a car.. is astronomical *sigh* Oh well..... you pay for what you get. And safety can't be compromised. Zack's smart.. he knows which buttons to push on me. Him and our babies. "Think about all the places we can bring them!" hahaha. I used to bring Pap everywhere i go. Shopping (yes, fitting rooms!), library, foodcourts, even school! Everywhere! save for hospitals and cinemas. She had taken numerous bus and train rides. But Chile doesn't have that good a life thus far. She's like a mountain dog. But 2 dogs are too dangerous to handle on a bike.
so anyway... we are getting a new ride! woohoooooo!
the process is pretty fun i admit albeit begrudingly. Zack got me very much involved. It's 'OUR' car so he says.. haha. From choosing the make and model of the car, to the color of our ride (though i enjoy insisting on white just to see the horror on his face), color of the leather seats and trimming. Even the rims. So fun noe! Yeah, make payment then not fun already lor.
