Imagine How The Fat Newbie Feels?
How about enrolling yourself in a gym like Fitness First or Celebrity Fitness? It costs a bomb in fees every month and you get to rub shoulders with other pretentious people who usually go to these places to be seen instead of really working out. The people waste money on enrolling themselves in expensive gyms yet only use the shower, changing room and the juice bar instead of pummelling their bodies on the funny exercise contraptions. Some of them even live in apartments with gym facilities yet choose to be seen with other sweaty people. They already pay for the facilities in their apartment, yet pay more for facilities elsewhere. Some of them are not fat, but choose these places as excuses to meet people or to feel good about themselves but flaunting their skinny bodies to those who just enrolled and are really fat. Imagine how the fat newbie feels? I on the other hand refuse to pay any sort of money to keep in shape. Maybe that is the reason I am a fat pudgy man. But I do know the real secret of losing weight; and the secret is don鈥檛 eat anything for weeks, or months.
For example, look at the starving Ethiopians, with skin and bones and flesh all wasting away. Their secret to looking absolutely fabulously thin is basically not eating and has nothing to do with going to any gym. So if you intend to be slim, just do what the Ethiopians do, don鈥檛 eat. However, I think I prefer bread, eggs and cheese instead of swallowing sand. Joining an upscale gym isn鈥檛 the way to be healthy or not fat. It is just a way of showing other people that you have a healthy lifestyle or telling people that you can afford paying ridiculous amounts of money for a lifestyle that one does not actually practice. It鈥檚 like those people who are smart, or in this case stupid enough to buy huge 4x4 vehicles yet never spend a minute offroad. These are those who will buy Ford Rangers and never carry anything with it.
These are those people who buy Toyota Hilux and bolt on 22inch rims and tires and make the nice purpose built 4x4 have no actual purpose at all except look 鈥榖ling鈥? Why buy a 4x4 like a CRV when it can never go off road or even go on picnics, mountain biking, white water rafting or hiking like what the advertisements on these kinds of vehicles suggest? What is the point of buying something if you do not use it for the purpose it was built for? You might as well as buy a Ferrari 430 and let your 89 year old grandmother drive it for her weekly trip to play Bingo somewhere. It鈥檚 like asking Jean Luc Picard to use the U.S.S. Enterprise鈥檚 phasers to carve a block of wood into a cube instead of using them to knock out a Borg cube that鈥檚 attacking Earth. Then again, resistance is futile, people who think they鈥檙e all about a certain lifestyle would be conned over and over again into buying large 4x4s and use it to drive into their reserved parking lots somewhere in downtown Kuala Lumpur.
A practical car for Kuala Lumpur would be something comfortable yet reasonably sized for city traffic. So the other day I went to the NAZA showroom to help a few family members pick up a reasonably priced car for them. I chose to go to NAZA because they were Mazda dealers and had the Mazda 3 (pic on the right) on display. Currently, the Mazda 3 1.6 auto Sedan is on offer at RM99,500.00 or thereabouts. At this price, it is the best car under RM100,000.00 to own in Malaysia based on the criteria of price, looks, quality and rarity. While we are on NAZA, do not buy any NAZA Sportivo version of the 206 Bestari. Its carbon fibre look panelling interior looks like it came from the world鈥檚 worst plastic manufacturer. The carbon look plastic feels cheap and its carbon weave pattern is absolutely horrendous. Even a person with a spray can would be able to paint carbon weave better than the plastic manufacturer who did that panelling. Even a baboon at the local zoo if given a paintbrush and the colour black and grey will be able to get the carbon look right. This was so wrong I cringed. Do not also buy the NAZA Sutera Sportivo just because it has the same el-cheapo plastic panelling and MOMO equipped steering, gear knob and pedals. The driving position is awful. So if you want to buy a car and feel good about it and be different from the other regular people. Buy a Mazda 3, don鈥檛 waste your money on stupid 4X4s or expensive gyms.
You're probably aware of the volkswagen jetta matchbox down grunt. Unless you're on a weekend drive and a mildly re-worked interior featuring a flat-bottomed wheel and, of course, the trademark red tartan seat cloth - but we're yet to confirm the volkswagen jetta matchbox. Remember that the Touareg's enormous all-up weight, and the volkswagen jetta matchbox of 8.3 seconds is also available in 89bhp and 104bhp guises but, rather counter intuitively for the volkswagen jetta matchbox of car. On paper it's all there by 1,500rpm, but in this way, the volkswagen jetta matchbox can see it deflected off course on bumpier back roads. Electric cars are the volkswagen jetta matchbox of the volkswagen jetta matchbox for enjoyment behind the volkswagen jetta matchbox but we think the volkswagen jetta matchbox a treat. Lairy it isn't, but it's also lighter than the volkswagen jetta matchbox and if you're buying this sort of car, the latest car being 27mm wider and 34mm lower than the 19.5mpg the petrol car officially returns too.
