In dilemma.

yong88 — Sun, 01 Mar 2015 21:36:37 +0800

Good evening lowyat members. I am here to get some advise from brother2 and sistar2 sekalian

My basic info:

I am 27 years old. My family have 2 cars, 1997 Proton Iswara and 2000 Proton Wira Sedan 1.5. Currently i driving the 1997 Proton Iswara A/B 1.3 manual , hand over by my dad, drive it from 19 years old until now. i use this car to travel from Seremban --> Cyberjaya --> Seremban to work everyday for past few years. (about 120km per day).And i have to say...ISWARA is a car that quite save in terms of petrol, services and etc.
I have +-RM30k savings in my current account, and my nett salary is RM2.8k.I do not have any commitment. My monthly expenses less than RM1k, mostly is on petrol (+- RM400, depends on petrol price) and meal (+-RM300 depends on what i eat). I have no smoking or drinking habit. My weekdays routine basis...work-go home-sleep.. weekend- stay at home for whole day.As conclusion, a boring guy.

Currently, i am considering to get another car. So in my mind. i have 2 choices.
1)Planning to spend rm10k cash to buy a Wira Special Edition 2004 , which can serve me for another +-6 years and then consider to buy a new car.
2)Buying a 2nd hand Honda City 2012 (or something equivalent) which cost about rm60k. d/p rm10k, then do a loan for the remaining amount for 7 years. which will cost me about <RM800/ month provided that interest rate is 4% (based on loan calculator)

i did ask my parents for opinion. My mum go for 2nd option and ban my 1st option , meanwhile my dad tend to prefer 1st option. The reason my mum vote for 2nd option is: She said for past 60 years she don't have a chance to sit in "kereta luar negara" , that why she suggest me to go for 2nd option so that she have chance to sit into "kereta luar negara " (Typical aunty mindset). Wira suppose better than City or Vios or Almera in term of comfort or handling right? coz Wira using rear multi link suspension, meanwhile others is using torsion beam for rear. not like that one meh??

However, my dad tend to go for 1st option or remain to use my 97 iswara , coz like that confirm can save more money. Of coz he is not said that to me but somehow i can sense it when i suggest to change car.

Therefore, i sincerely ask for bro2 and sis2 advise, i am actually very like Wira especially WiSE. but we all know that the world is very "big small eyes". (if you know what i mean).

So, please do give some advise to me for reference.

Thanks Thanks in advance..

Need advise on triangle love

yong88 — Fri, 28 Feb 2014 22:07:59 +0800

Good evening lowyat member.. i am involved in a triangle love.. the story is like this

There were a pair couple, they already engaged for 2 years, signed all the paper/document, we all worked in same company,
ok..then i fall in love to that girl, and that girl also have good feel towards me, (the time i fall in love to that girl i already know the situation), just at last december, the girl suddenly confess her love to me, and then everything get started. (means underground love)
and she told me that she want to leave her current husband/boyfriend? and then i believe on what she said, and i fork out rm 4k for her and find a lawyer firm and lawyer for her, just to help her get back her freedom. and i spent quite alot of money to her, to buy her everything..

Now everything already at halfway (in progress of getting back her status) , she staying with me for already 1 month, and i am very good to her, take care of her everything, unfortunately, on this valentine day, she got surprised from her ex husband/boyfriend at my company..and eventually, she move out from my house and move back to her ex's house..
i am so upset , what the fxxk , she told me that she decide to leave her ex due to her ex is not good to her, and then i determine to help her in everything, and end up become like this, so in this past 2 weeks, i keep on ask her to move back, and she did said she regret to move back, and i told her, just leave him and come back to me, i will take care her for everything, and i got her answer is.."i am considering" ..seem like she is dragging me more than sincere want to solve the problem..and her ex already start to held the wedding party and hear that they will go to taiwan for wedding photo shoot in Mid of March..

...and i admit...i very love her, i feel like lost everything when she move out..become no motivation, even my colleagues and supervisor also notice that.

so my question is:

am i did something wrong that cause her to move back??

is it still worth to wait her?do i still have a chance? i set a deadline to myself, which is before they go for photo shoot. If by that time, she still do not have any response, what should i do??
i already pay out everything for her, but why end up i get this kind of pay back?

Kindly please advise..thanks for reading my story and sorry for bad English.

*we are all just 25 years old

*edit : each time i ask her still love me, she will answered she still love and miss me, is she trying to entertain me or i still really have chance?
