Something New

Hubby (Fiance at that time) and I bought our first car when we started working in Johor. We had some savings that we brought back from working part-time in UK. It was quite substantial for fresh graduates like us after converting those British Pounds to Malaysian Ringgit. So we were able to buy a new car even before we got our first paycheck.

Our first car, Proton Wira

For 10 years, we used this car to cart us to and fro our workplaces, outings (Cameron Highlands, KL, Melaka, Pahang, Singapore) and occasionally our plantation. We did not really take good care of this car except scheduled servicing. Car washing was never a priority.

After 10 years of usage, the car began showing its age with more and more repairs needed and the amount for repair/ service was increasing each time. Our family was expanding. From two of us as a couple to two girls and one baby on the way. Using saloon car was not feasible anymore because I insisted our girls must sit on booster seat with seat belt and baby would need to be in car seat. Two booster seats and a car seat would not be able to fit into a saloon car. After much consideration, the solution was

to purchase a 7-seater car.

Since January, we are able to enjoy more space in the car. I look forward to more outings as a family of 5 after my confinement in March.
