Finally had my yummy Dominoes for dinner today! Satisfied. Muahaha.

And i'd better start going swimming to lose that tyre.

Anyway, as Erline and i were walking to Dominoes just now, we had our usual talk about how inconvenient it is without having a car here and our conversation led us back again to the topic of how 2 of our classmates (these ordinary looking but bloody wealthy China kids), Yan and Katy, each bought a 2nd hand car for (AUD)$14k (yup, thats $14,000).

Firstly, for $14k, they could have bought a brand new Honda Jazz or Hyundai Getz instead of a 2nd hand sedan. Erline said they probably got a Jag or something but hello....i'd take the brand new Jazz over a used Jag anytime man!!! (Fyi, the Jazz is the 3rd on my most-wanted list after the Mazda MX-5 and RX-8).

Secondly, for $14k (yes, i have to emphasise that again), their cars are terribly under-utilitsed. The thought of hearing how they only use it to switch on the engine and turn on the stereo every Sunday for an hour or so gives me such a heartache. O, did i also mention that they dont even have a valid driving license at all? Yup, the car's just for them to practise their driving. Geez man. I was telling Erline how i should probably start hanging out with them more often so they'll lend me their cars once in a while.

Okok, call me desperate and jealous, but hey, im still human! Who wants to wait one hour for the bus?!
