Euphoric Moments

commitments we face in adulthood.

my dad woke me up at 8am on a sunday morning with helluva excitement because he's bringing us to check showrooms today. we're planning to buy a landed property after living in a condo for ten years. we're very fickled minded people. we used to love the idea of living in condos when we were living in a landed property and now, we prefer the opposite. so off we drove, almost 30kms away from our current place to check out this place he was SO freaking in love with, while both my mom and i were whining about the journey and how early it is to get up on a sunday morning. and then we reached the place. yes, it's nice. i loved the house but definitely not the location. i will and always love bukit jalil more than some random 'jin-buang-anak' (secluded) place. i told my dad that if you plan on having me being anti-social and all, yes, please, go ahead and buy this place... BUT you'll never see your daughters & sons getting married because it's so far away from the rest of the world, seperated from friends and others. goodbye ttdi, goodbye damansara, goodbye bangsar, and double the goodbye to kl city itself. living in bukit jalil was a pain for me when i first moved here because it was freaking far from subang (where i spent half my life growing up and socialising) but now with highways and back roads, i swear, it's just twenty minutes away from everywhere else (and i mean, happening places, by stating 'everywhere else'). so now that i've settled down here, i would rather just move to a place nearby but no. MY DAD WANTS PEACE AND TRANQUILITY because he's getting old and he needs a place to retire. but i'm in the midst of building my career and living so far away from the city is definitely not helping. and think about all the hike in petrols and tolls that we'll be facing next year. my god, the horror!

i know, i'm whining a lot but i'm really thinking that the furthest i'll live from bukit jalil will be subang jaya. or pj. or furthest ever would be damansara. no shah alam, no puchong, no cheras. or i'll rather not move. LOL. yes, i'm fussy and picky. i really love oug though. i'm into really old houses because i believe they built the best houses then. houses these days are fragile looking and the walls are too thin. but my dad wants new houses instead! imagine all the drama we've got to go through whenever we go check out houses. and besides, i'm in the midst of TRYING to get a new car. but i can't decide on what to get. for below rm100k. i just saw the newly launched sx4 and i'm actually considering it. should i? my god, things we face as we enter adulthood.

photos were taken from paul tan. more can be seen here. i've always joked about how i should open a beckyooi.org since i'm always seeing freshly assembled yet-to-reveal-to-the-world cars in my studio but i don't think i can ever write anything technical except to say that 'yea, it's nice. looks like a combo of this and that'. not very helpful and ETHICAL (since i'm not suppose to reveal all these photos and infos), isn't it? but let's just say, plenty of affordable cars to be available to the public next year, be it local or imported ones. just be patient!
