Quiet yet Enjoyable Weekend

As usual..struggling to get the week 'going'. By the time I get 'going' it will be Friday again ha-ha. I had a quiet yet enjoyable weekend.

some ME time (watched 3 episodes of Forensic Heroes II back to back),
some DAD time,
some cats/ dog time (and got some bruises from the grumpy male cat)
some cleaning around the house
nursed the ankle..confirmed it's a minor 1st degree sprain..but it keeps happening-simply annoying!

..and spent 'some' money......to place a booking for my love! - the Latio Sport! I was actually quite decided to take the cheaper basic Sedan version...but got dissappointed with it's very light colored interior and somewhat basic accessories. Since the so very handsome Sport version was sitting there ...I 'visited' it again ...the moment I sat in it..wow...all the feeling came back. I can't explain...it's like --THIS IS THE ONE!!!

Impulsively, I placed a booking after some persuasion from the sales person .. i think he is desperate to meet this month's target. He promised that I can still change my mind..eventho he hopes I won't do so. He will also arrange for the tender of my WSL XXX plate :).

But... now..my bro got me worried about its CVT gear box..which may have a potential problem..similar to the Honda City and Jazz which are also using CVT. Die...


In marketing research sometimes, we help clients to understand decision making process. Normally we will woork out a whole list of things that we term as "Factors of Consideration" e.g. normally derived from the four Ps of marketing

..product features..which i don't really care about..CVT la, VVT la..tak tahu la
..price..yea..it's more exp than the Vios..but..I LIKE wor..
..promotions..yea..the int rate is only about 2.6 p.a. comes with free Impul body kit and V-kool
..place of distribution...salesman was quite nice?

Other things will be something like this:
..word of mouth..well most ppl still prefer city / vios
..brand..i wasn't really a nissan person..tot they are more for old men..

But for me..it's the 'intangible feel' that triggered me to sign that purchase:
..I felt good in it
..makes me feel luxurious
..glamorous
..comfortable
..love the color of the semi leather black interior


In conclusion...understanding decision making? Nahh...tough...especially with women.
Now..my brother is grilling me with all the specs from diferent notebooks. Help!!! I only know i prefer bigger than 10 ince screen but lighter notebook wor.

  1. Congratulations! Latio is a nice car! Nissan is a good and reliable brand. I have a friend who swears by the Latio Sport.. but he modified the car to be very Ah Beng. Maybe I can hook you guys up.. ha ha ...

  3. Aiyah dun worry too much abt the gearbox. All auto car will hv the same problem eventually, so if u choose auto car, that is the risk you hv to take. Unless you choose to drive manual car la.

    Nway, I am sure you hv strong reasons to choose Latio, after all you hv been looking ard for a car for quite some time, so unlike you ;)
