If you want to blame anyone, blame piffles. 😛

These are the rules: Each player of this game starts out by giving 6 weird things about themselves. People who get tagged need to write in a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state the rules clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. After you do that, leave them each a comment letting them know you tagged them and to read your blog!

So, let’s start with the obvious ones. 🙂

1. i can eat and eat, but never gain weight. yup, i can never seem to get past 55kg. prolly have this huge tapeworm in my colon. 😛
2. i’m too fussy. main reason why i’m single. so many girls, each with their own wonderful but unique traits… sigh.. rambang mata liao.
3. i like tempoyak. muhuhahaha!
4. i think i have what it takes to be a songwriter. in fact, i think i can do a lot of things, but i’m just lazy.
5. i have a 100gb partition on my hard drive dedicated to notti things. 😀
6. i subconsciously dig my nose when i sleep. 😛 and i can subconsciously throw the results into the basket, which is of course situated next to my bed.

I hereby compel thee to reveal thy weird self:-

Just finished a discussion revolving around (what else?) the stock market. Won’t go into the technicalities and conclusions we came to since this isn’t what this blog is about.

There was however one interesting point that was raised which I thought I might post here. R (one of my regular round-tablers for the stockmarket) kicked of a discussion on Proton and its numerous ailments – my, it does look terminal from my perspective – and he commented that Proton’s inventory buildup is high enough such that they’re going to take (further) drastic measures to pare it down.

He said that one of the things Proton will be doing is to push its stocks of Wiras and Iswaras off at below RM30K each. I was a little startled to hear that, but R emphasised that this has been publicly stated by the current Proton boss.

So to Myuu who might be thinking (or rather, required) of changing cars, that’s something to keep in mind. A Wira may not be sexy, it may have just a barely adequate powerplant (or to put it in geekspeak, it’s a Pentium 2 compared to what’s around us now) but let’s face it, parts for it are dirt cheap and maintainence wise any mechanic operating from under a tree can fix it.

And to Fish who already has a Wira, I feel your (depreciation) pain man even though you say you don’t intend to sell it for a number of years.

So to all readers, keep an eye out for Proton’s promotions if you’re in the market for a new car.
