Perodua Axia 1.0G review after 2 months usage

I have sold my 13 years old Proton Wira 1.3 Aeroback last October as I don't use it so often. Back then the decision was made partly because I'm using company car, Nissan Navara for daily commute. Then as my daughter will be going into Standard 1 in 2016, the need for small car for my wife comes up.
At first I'm going to settle for Perodua Viva as the main requirement is small, easy for my wife to drive around, low maintenance and low profile but as I'm ready to place my booking, the news of Perodua to launch new model comes out.

So when Perodua announce and launched the new Perodua Axia, Malaysia first EEV, I was one of the earliest to place booking. More on the car detail you can read from Paultan review at Paultan Perodua Axia.

After 2 months usage, I must say that i'm impressed with the car. Not because its relatively "cheap" (FACT: There are no cheap car in Malaysia based on per capita income, only because the facility allow for longer loan tenure) but mainly because this small car has perfectly filled up my expectation.

The main objective for my purchase of this Axia is for it to be a city car. For this it excel tremendously. Easy to park, easy to drive around, fuel saving, big boot (compare with its overall size) and yes, its cute and i manage to get THE color which my wife loves.

Parking in between tight area in The Mines

Nice design but it can be mistaken for a Myvi 

Yes you can achieve it as per its advertisement but its not easy for the Auto version. Easier with Manual version, though

All in all as long as you can manage your expectation, I think this car is good enough for:

1. Second car for daily commute from home to work and vice versa.

2. University/ College Students.

3. Housewife sending their kids to school.

4. Running errands in the city.

5. First time car buyer/ college grad looking for their first car.

Not recommended for

1. Only car for 2+2 families (2 adults + 2 kids)

2. Long distance travels

3. People with heavy foot on the gas pedal.

kos sara hidup versus peningkatan pendapatan?

setengah orang fikir tak mengapa kalau kos sara hidup meningkat asalkan pendapatan meningkat. pemikiran sebegini betul juga kalau fikir sebegitu tetapi:

1. adakah pendapatan bertambah sejajar dengan peningkatan kos? secara kasar kita boleh lihat perbelanjaan sendiri dahulu, ada atau tidak pertambahan lebihan belanja/ simpanan/ pelaburan daripada pendapatan bulanan? jikalau tiada atau negatif, peningkatan kos sara hidup melebihi peningkatan pendapatan.
2. berapa cepat kita boleh kejar peningkatan kos sara hidup dengan peningkatan pendapatan? ingat, jika kamu adalah pekerja yang menyumbang kepada KWSP dan membayar cukai, tahap percukaian adalah berbeza mengikut pendapatan. Ya, ada rebat/ pengecualian tetapi itu ada tahapnya. secara kasar jika kamu memperolehi pendapatan keseluruhan RM80k ke atas setahun, cukai pendapatan sahaja boleh menyebabkan gaji bersih seumpama pendapatan RM50k. besar periuk, besar lah keraknya ye
3. berapa ramai antara kita boleh berbelanja dibawah paras pendapatan. Ya, bukan pada paras pendapatan, tetapi dibawahnya. contoh, jika kamu mampu membayar ansuran kereta RM1000 sebulan, berapa ramai yang akan membeli kereta untuk ansuran RM1000 itu berbanding dengan mereka yang memilih untuk membayar ansuran kurang dari itu. secara ringkasnya RM1000 ansuran untuk 9 tahun membolehkan kamu membeli model Proton Suprima S dengan d/p 10%, 3% interest.
4. renungkan, para atuk nenek kita bukannya memperolehi jumlah pendapatan seperti kita sekarang tetapi mereka boleh mengumpul harta, tanah yang boleh diwarisi kepada generasi seterusnya. kenapa kita sekarang nampak perkara ini seperti benda yang jauh dari jangkauan?

Overhead Coring for Wall Plug Installation

on April 20th 2009, i went to Bintulu to train a customer who bought Hilti DDEC1 complete with DDREC water recycling unit for an overhead coring job.
they want to install a pipe support using Hilti HVU system but the column are rebar infested so drilling with drill machine has no use.
complete set up to do coring overhead. no wall plug needed.

easy to do coring overhead and very easy to move to next coring point.

easy to operate.

but the customer are using it in MLNG2 plant which prohibit me from taking actual application photo.
