For the first time, I went into a car showroom.

The first showroom was just located around Tampines vicinity. I was approached by a very friendly salesperson who carefully told me the details. I was very sceptical about sales executive aka salesperson. He presented me with the brochure which contains the prices of every car they have.

Quite impressive indeed. At first, I was asking about Nissan Sunny. I wanted to asked the benefits of it. Well, he did tell me that it was actually quite old model and presented me with the new Nissan Latio. The specs were great and maybe I might bring along my dad and mum to take a look at it.

This whole car issue is a big dilemma now.

I felt that people may have the thought that we, ourselves have different kinds of loans and yet we wanted a car. Of course, we admit that we still owe people money. I'm kind of sensitive when people talk bad behind us. It is not that I owe them any money. It would be my money.

You may asked why do I need the car?

I have weighed that thought a lot of times. I know it may not be a good time to have it right now. The COE is still sky high. Furthermore, a meagre sum that I earned every month won't suffice.

There's no harm dreaming right? I still don't know if I could secure a job that could afford a car. Moreover, with petrol, ERP and COE rising, it might cause a huge headache for me.

Public transport suffice for the time being. Since my father was the one who urge to get a car, I just follow. There's only two of us who have the license.

The only thing that hinders me from making decision is people's reaction. They might look down on us. Like how come we can have so many rebates and declaring that we only have a low net income every month and yet we can have a car.

I've learnt it hard. I have rehearsed it at every single perspective. I'm good at generating negative, bad comments. Who doesn't?

I just let the time goes by and just see how this matter progresses.
