So, I made the first 'move' yesterday by sms. That person is hard to 'call out'... But they did suggest that me and C go over to their place and cook and eat something... So I guess that's something that might occur within this year. Good or bad?
On other news booked mum's ticket to US. Her passport expires mar 2011 so less than 6 months validity (from oct). (5 months) So I asked her to renew her passport, then we can arrange for the ESTA.
I still haven't arranged my own travel plans yet...
And one more sales has left the company, due to her having a baby. So... there's only 1 female sales left. They even threw her a surprise 'departure' party, complete with cake! (but just one tiny cake...)
Hmm water rates is in, $150. steep!

new camera
So I splurged out on the Canon Ixus 130IS... it arrived today, charged up the battery, plugged in a 16gb card I got a year ago, and then found out the card was a POS... piece of... bloody hell I paid good money for it, and it turns out to be a dud...
So plugged in a 4gb card and then was testing all these modes. I think I shall be taking a lot of shots with this camera for sure.
Tomorrow will be spending a lot of money. All for the privilage of calling a place 'my place'. Yay. (It'll sink in once I move in I think)
Need to rest enough, it's winter time so tend to get a little sleepy :P

Car service
So I got my car serviced, regoed and CTP'd today.
Minor Service = $119
Registration = $31.70
Globes + Labour = $22.40
Air Filter = $35
Fuel Filter = $69
Labour R/R(?) Filter = $46
Brake Fluid Flush and Change = $56.50
Ferodo TQ Std Front D/Pad Serv = $169
Machine Front Disc Rotors + Labour = $109
CV Shaft (Not done today, next saturday) = $220
Labour CV Shaft = $92
Car Service = $969.60.
Originally there were other things that they said that I was suggested to do...
Transmission Flush
Power Steering Pump and Rack
Rear Shock
Tyre Rotation w/ alignment
But that would've made it go to $1800... so I said no.
Add on $285 for the RTA
and $413.04 for the CTP
Makes it $1667.64 I spent all on my credit card...
Plus $5 to travel home (because I wasn't gonna wait at the shopping center for 6 hours) and $8.20 for lunch.
$1680.84.
Damn.
And it's not even something that I like to do, unlike some of my friends :P
It's almost like the time when I first bought the car, it had so many problems that I didn't know about, and I spent the same amount of money as well. Can't they make cars better? Considering the average value of my car on a car sale website is around $7.5k... that's 22% of the value right there. I guess when the service costs more than 50% of the value of the car then I need to get a new one... or a near new one. Ahhhhh
