Alright! 1st Post

Ok... been finally convinced to set this up. Actually... partially setup here and there. No time aka too lazy aka just not bothered.

Anyways, still learning the ropes. Times are getting tough, very tiring having 2 kids around. Thank God mom was around last week - although she's planning to go back today.

My current dilemna (not really - but something that needs settling this week) is on choosing a new car for Krystal. Impossible to fit 2 baby car seats (or even 1 baby car seat + 1 infant carrier) in either one of our cars (esp. Krystal's!! haha). Need a car with 3 rows of seats definitely so planning on going for one of those sporty MPVs.

Current considerations:

1) Mazda 5 - took a test drive, not bad. Pretty impressed with the seats as well as the sliding doors. They open REALLY wide - claimed to be wider than an ESTIMA. Only concern is that interior seems plasticky... worried about hearing too many squeeks after a short time. (even my current car is squeeking a bit too much and my mechanic keeps telling me I need to change the control arm bushing to improve the 'bumpiness' I'm currently getting - TAHAN 1st lah!!! save money)

2) Toyota Wish - apparently so popular that it's fully sold out and there aren't enough stocks to even display in the showroom? crazy eh! anyways, have sat in Steven's as well as Steven's (2 different guys) Wish. Seems ok .... but want to check out the latest model.

3) Honda Stream - seemed a bit cramped, especially getting in from the back. Not sure if the seats have the LATCH system for baby seats - sales girl seemed to not understand (big minus points there). Leather seats standard all round though. Boot space seems a bit poor.

Overall... seem to prefer the Mazda - although the resale value of Mazda here is pretty sad. Need to check out the Wish in real life (latest model) first. Other thought of course is Odyssey lah!! hahaha... but too expensive lah. And Krystal not keen on driving such a big car anyways. Although the Odyssey seems to be less bulky and more car like compared to the Estima (which I still remember banging into the pillar at 1 Utama and getting blacklisted by in-laws... haha... another story!)

Oh well... need to make decision soon as Mazda's waiting period is 1-2 months, Toyota 3-4 months. Honda claims that we can get the Stream within a week though.... but I guess that's also telling you something right!!!

No real pics to put up - since all on my home pc. But let me put one up of my fav little boy and my current desktop background (ok now that have 2, need to be a bit careful - one of my 2 fav little boys)
