so, a brand new year ahead. in a previous post, the reb already spelt out the new responsibilities that come with the new year.
in an old post, the reb was contemplating whether to change his old workhorse, the 1983 mazda, which has given 26 years of faithful service. well, finally, last month, the old faithful was officially 'retired' from active service and returned f.o.c to its original owner, the reb's cousin, whom he had bought the car from in 1988 for rm 16,000. the car changed hands on 30th dec 2008.
in came the new workhorse, a blue proton saga 1.3, with a number plate NCE 102. yes, indeed very 'nice', from the photo.

of course, the reb does not go around thrashing his cars. anyway, the old one lasted 26 years and still going strong. this one will have to last the next 20 years!
A couple of day later, the car's engine oil tank leaked and cost me a substantial sum (for a student) to repair...
Dunno if it's a lesson kah, a testimony kah...or wut...just an anecdote perhaps.
The YHWH giveth and the YHWH taketh away, blessed be the name of the YHWH...
Congrats on the new car!! and Happy New Year reb.
