1. You have a car.
2. You drive a car.
3. You owned a car.
Â
That’s the statement given by Bruce. He told me he envy of me owning a car. Well not to say that I really own a car but still under repayment to the bank that finance the loan. Back to topic, Bruce will return from Australia and start working after many years involving in educating himself and getting a certificate.
Â
He will be working in Subang but he is staying with family in Taman Melawati. Therefore he might need to take a lot of time for travelling. My suggestion to him earlier was to try out taking public transportation to work before he make any decision such as like getting a car or shifting and rent a room there. He need to work in Subang because of the scholarship repayment program by the corporation that finance him.

Bruce told me that he was envy of me had a car. Well, I used to be in his shoe. Especially when I saw Shaun and the rest driving while I still relying on the public transportation to get me from a destination to another destination. Having own car seems like a luxury to me back then. When I left the college and start entering the commercial world, I needed a transportation to get me there. My first job was in Mines Waterfront Park. Hence it’s inconvenient for me to stay there as it’s quite remote.
Â
I doesn’t have much option and the only car I can afford is Iswara. I paying about 30% of what I made back then just for the car loan repayment. Hehehehe… it was a choice I need to make as staying there isn’t a good option. Now after 2 years passed, I still doesn’t find owning a car is a luxury. It’s a liability and you paying the price to own a car. A typical car doesn’t shows that a person is rich or not. In fact, depending on what kind of car you can afford at your stage of life. If a person like me (in their 20s) driving a Mercedes,BMW or any car that’s above Toyota Camry status, I would consider them rich and successful. However, we don’t know how much they spend for the loan repayment for such car models. What we know is just the surface or it could be their parents car.

So, Bruce… I really hope you can understand where I am coming from. Sekian majulah Sukan untuk negara.
