Car-zy

Past 1.5 weeks were all about cars. Context - My existing car is to be deregistered (i.e. COE ends) this coming Thursday and I haven't got a plan! So started searching for various options. Current COE prices are crazy high and I just couldn't convince myself to get a new EV cos of that. Then for second hand cars, there were so many to choose from it's difficult to start. After a lot of different considerations, I figured the plug-in hybrid will be a good choice from the fuel efficiency perspective. My current porsche simply SUCKS in terms of consumption, to the extent you don't even wanna drive it at all. It's like, 7km/l?? Pathetic. And just when I thought I found the deal where I get the car from them and they export my car, the stupid porsche decided to have engine issues. After towing to the workshop, they said it will take 2 months to change engine. I do NOT have 2 months since COE ends in a week! But with the existing error message, I don't think the dealer is able to take in for export anymore? Argh. So that got me stuck in a dilemma for a few days until now..

Couple of days ago, I organised my company's CSR event to visit Neste's innovation centre at Science Park. While the lectures were a little too extensive (long and technical), the lab visit was good and so was the food (of course, since I chose it LOL). It was also nice to have some customers join us for the visit and I think the good lunch helped to end the visit perfectly for everyone. Took the opportunity to also share with Danielle about the latest updates from our (final) investigation. Bottomline, if you are in a certain management position, there is an expectation that you protect the company's interest, doesn't matter whether you are a nice person or not...

So now, I'm back to resolving my car issue and I need to get it done in the next couple of days. Stress!
