#430 Car Dream for the average Singaporean

Notice its Car Dream and not Dream Car? As the average Singaporean, one can no longer aspire to drive a dream car in the home country unless you are damn rich.. so any saloon car that fits the family will do..

A quick comparison:

Toyota Vios 1.5E (Auto)
Current car:$32,000 excluding interests
Downpayment back then: $6,000
Instalment: $430/mth
Expiry of COE: 31 Jul 2015 (5yr,3mths left)

Dec 2013 (Comparision, no purchase)
Nissan Latio 1.5A
Current Price: $33,500 excluding interest
Downpayment due to new financial rules: $13,400
Instalment: $562

#428 Reality

If you are having a good day, good mood, you might want to just skip this post for today, today's post is fitting for the pouring weather, it is about darkness and the sadder side of life..

...

...

I typed a few paragraphs about what people around me went through, dark times for them.. then i deleted the entire paragraph and felt its probably a bad idea to write about the cases although the identities are deliberately masked..

In any case, Life goes on.

Live well and keep your family and friends close.

Peace to everyone
