Forever 28~

I chose to start my journey back to Taiping during midnight before Chinese New Year. It was my first midnight drive in my lifetime. I know it is quite dangerous, but this was how I avoid hectic jam.

I supposed it would be dark along the journey. But surprisingly a lot of people were following my step, or I followed their step. There were a lot of cars along the highway, so the road was bright. Hence, I drove as usual speed, 110-120 km/h.

Two things that we must remember when drive at midnight. Firstly, you have to keep yourself awake, don’t fall in sleep. Secondly, you have to be alert with other drivers, they might fall in sleep! Both are very dangerous, please bear in mind.

Happy night journey.

P/S: I still remembered the moment that I saw sun light in the highway, and those songs that accompanied me along the journey.

The newly introduced petrol RON 95 is selling at RM1.80 beginning today. It is five sen higher than the expected price. Currently, the RON 97 petrol is selling at RM 2.05 and has been categorized as a premium product. I believe most of the smart motorists will switch to RON95 fuel after this change. However, not all car models can use this newly introduced petrol.

I received a document that indicates the car models that can and cannot use RON95. The document is just for the reference. To know about your car’s RON rating, please refer to the owner’s manual of at the inside of the fuel lid of your car’s fuel tank. There should have the indication for the suitable RON fuel for you car.

I realized my car insurance and road tax third day after they were expired. This incident was the first time to me; I always renew my car insurance one month before it is expired because Panglobal will always remind me for the renewal. But, now Panglobal is took over by Tokio Marine insurance company. They didn’t notify me on this, so I was totally forgot!

At the time I noticed it, it was too late. I was so frustrated and called to Tokio Marine. They said I can still get the insurance and roadtax within two days by paying all the necessary fees on that day. But, I don’t have fax machine to do so many documentation stuffs on that day because I was away for training for whole week! A lot of things just came at the same time and I encountered a lot of constraints too. So, I checked about online insurance and found out few online inurance services that available in Malaysia:

1) MyEg.com.my
You can choose to fill up online form, make payment, and then road tax will be delivered next day. The easiest way is call them (03- 7801 8888) and give them the car plate number and owner IC number. No any document is required.

2) Easyrenew.com.my and Etiqa.com.my (through maybank2u.com.my)
Similar processes like MyEg.com.my, but I read their delivery details, the road tax might need to take up to seven days to be delivered to your doorstep. Even though EasyRenew.com.my does mention the process normally takes one to two days, but I really can’t afford to take the risk for waiting.

I was SO desperate to get road tax and car insurance, so I choose the first option. I received my road tax next day after I made the online payment thru credit card. I heard they also accept Maybank transfers as well.

That was a tragedy to my driving experience. I was so careless. But next time I know where I can get fast car insurance and road tax service~ Anyway, I hope it wouldn’t have next time! Do you have such experience as well?

I saw a promotion on servicing car at only RM48 at SS2. My last car service was six months ago. So, I sent my car to this workshop for service.

Based on the promotion package, I can get Wynn’s motor oil, Perodua oil filter, and nitrogen gas top up for four tyres in RM48 (for selected Perodua cars). There is another RM10 for labor charge.

Their service is really good. I asked them check a lot of things and the mechanic did gave me honest advises. I thought I suppose to change spark plug in this service, but he said it is still in good condition. During I made the payment, I notice I can collect Genting Point from this shop as well! It is awesome! Haha! Then, the cashier asked my address and birthday. She said will send promotion vouchers for me during my birthday. Aiya… My birthday is still long time away, but I am so tempted to know what kind of vouchers they will give me.

Does anyone know the advantages of using nitrogen gas in your typre? The mechanic told me it would be lighter compared to normal air pump. Is it good for our car?

I was using Shell’s petrol since I bought my first car. Recently, I decided change to other brand of petrol because Shell doesn’t provide RON92 petrol.

I decided to use RON92 petrol when I found that my car is able to run in RON92, and make nodifferent with RON97. At the same time, I can save 10 cent/ litre of petrol price by choosing RON92.

Coincidentally, I won RM60 of Mobil petrol from MyFM cruiser. At the same time, I have to apply for their Smile card. This card is like the reward programme for the consumers to collect points when they fill petrol at Esso or Mobil petrol station. Then, both of these petrol stations do provide RON92! So, I decided to use their petrol and abandoned Shell petrol station.

Which brand of petrol are you using now? Do you think petrol brand does bring effect to your car’s performance?
