“… Variables..”

ok another “multi-post”..

The end of an ERA
SBY1755T.. for almost 10 yrs, this Mitsubishi Spacewagon (also known as the Chariot/Expo in other countries) has served us faithfully. It’s not without problems, don’t get me wrong. I remember there was once.. the alternator blew..in Kuantan… on a public holiday morning… we were on our way to terengganu then. 1755 was the car that took over the helms of our old Mistubish Lancer. The same Lancer we won the Singapore Discovery Rally so it had big shoes to fill. My dad bought the Mitsubishi Spacewagon (2nd Generation) at a time where 7 seater MPV’s were rare on Singapore streets. It was prolly one of the first 7-seaters on the road.
This car could take a beating and still keep on ticking. another memory was how we fit the whole Atrika dance troupe (8 girls plus choreographer AND costumes) in the car for a show. When the Mazda 3 came along a few years back 1755 was relegated to being a backup/rental vehicle although it still performed on our regular trips up north to Malaysia. In recent times it was also used as a cargo vehicle for my work (we removed the last row of seats. I bid adieu to this faithfull servant. As it reaches the end of it’s second COE term (dad bought it as a second owner), it was just good sense to release it at a time when it still had some value. Whether it would be scrapped or sold offshore to Batam is unknown. It has now been replaced by an affordable OPC Chery
Tiggo.. a nice cute small suv in the same vein as the RAV4.. 1755.. will be missed..

Yahoooo!!!..
I lost all of 17kg in the past 2 months.. i went from 155 to 144 to 137…and still losing an average of 2-3 kg a week.. My target.. to hit or go below 100 by August.. do-able .. yes? The first few months did not reap any obvious results..but recently it began to show. A few have asked .. what did i do..well.. I changed my eating habits..I drink almost no canned/soda drinks..at home at least i only drink plain water.. and i guess when i go into full swing i will begin to lose more.. I hope i have the discipline to maintain these new habits..

The Fugitive
Thank God he has been recaptured…

that’s all for now i guesss.

Till Next Time…
