Why I Won't Consider a Korean Car?

Sorry if i am stereotyping, but after having driven a relative's car, a Hyundai Sonata 2.0 (A) for some time, I have come to a conclusion:-

won't be tempted by cheaper koreans.... err korean cars.

1. It is not a new car anymore but I particularly hate the crashing sound of the dashboard everytime i go through some minor road undulations. Even a similarly aged Proton Wira does not produce such pronounced effect.

2. I don't know about their current offerings but that car has terrible build quality. I must admit that the car has some soft touch panels that are nice but they are terribly fitted together.

3. Fuel consumption is quite high. I think I should not be the only one complaining. Ask some Hyundai owners and most probably they'll tell you the same.

4. Seats are not supportive. Your butt may slide away from turning direction if you make it hard, thanks to super slippery, flat leather seats. Your butt keeps moving but the seat belts forcing your chest to stay.... maybe this defines the korean cars, one of a kind.. "magnificient"

Maybe the only thing I appreciate is the size, i love big cars (can bully smaller cars...lolz..kidding) and its cool air con. That's all...

1st Time @ Sarawak Offshore

Day 1: I boarded a helicopter from Miri Airport. It was my first time in a helicopter and was amazed that a passenger helicopter can actually carry 20+ passenger. It took almost an hour to reach the destination, E11 platform. We stopped by a platform in the middle of the journey to pick up two passengers. Immediately after arrival, we went to meet the medic, had a quick lunch and undergo safety briefing. Safety is very critical especially at offshore since it is isolated, and even significant since I'm attached to HSE department. E11 crew was very busy for the whole day due to start up process. Therefore, me and another HSE manager had to stay in our room, waiting for tea time in the evening. Then we returned to our room, waiting for dinner in the late evening. Then we returned to our room again, waiting for supper. So it was all about food that day! Anyway, we were given reading material, the E11 HSE Case but that was not sufficient for the many hours. Day 2: As a p...

Office in Weekend= Library in Unim

Spend some of my weekend hours in the office. Nostalgically, this scenario reminds me back at the days when I visited the library. Spent the 1st 30 mins fiddling books, and the remaining hours chatting with friend, surfing internet while waiting for friends call to go for a short (like 40 mins) tea break outside the university. And now, I'm waiting for colleagues' call to head for cinema.. tickets bought already anyway. Life in Miri is much more easy going than in KL. Office is just 5 minutes away from my home, cinema/ town 15 minutes from office. No jam, more time, but lack of crazy funny stuff to do. Hope my boss don't see this... ahaha..just kidding but hey, isn't today Saturday?!

Infactuation

Somehow, I grew fond of her. I wanted to see her everyday, be with her. Today, I spent 3 hours washing her on the inside. Finally she's clean. I bet previously her master does not take care of her that well, can see from misalignment, poor hygiene etc. Then, in the evening I took her to an accessory shop and present her an arm rest. It suited her rather well. I've just kick started my career so hope she will bear with me. I promised to get her something nicer when I'm better off with my job. demure looking Man, I can't wait to see her in skirts. Her 'future' skirts... Don't swt...
