BMW 116

SGD 147k
136bhp, 1.6L turbo
Nice body kit
The interior design is nice, sophisticated and materials are very good, makes you feel you are in high end vehicle
The rear space is quite decent, legroom is surprisingly good for its size.
As usual, due to the RWD, the middle seat is useless.

The boot size is decent too.

This car is more practical than the A-class hatch.
The doors close with a very solid feel compared to the merc

Only issue is image. Driving a BMW is very atas
And, this one is kit up to look very powerful when in fact it is not. So its like a poser car.
No doubt it'll handle decently
Will have to go for test drive one of these days.

Shure SE215

Lowest end
Dynamic drivers
Costs SGD $199

Verdict:
Fitting is excellent. Though a bit troublesome to put on and off, but once on, its very comfortable. The foam isolation of sound is very good.

Sound quality...not as clear as I hoped, but still more detailed then other earphones (cheaper ones from Jays and Kilpsich)

Looks like hearing aids to me, but still cool especially the clear case showing the innards

Maybe I am down the slippery path to high end Shure.....

When I fell sick

Fell sick 2 weeks ago. Started with a fever and tiredness, then developed sore throat and high fever which lasted for 7days. Took life and energy out from me just like that. Luckily it wasn't dengue. Work was thrown off balance.

Wife was very supportive and fortunately she's off peak in her work as well.

I'm getting better and am clearing 3 days leave this week to recharge. Or more like, to reflect.

Approaching 40, and I am not feeling top form in terms of health. This is lousy feeling. I'll resolve to recover from this and build up my health again. Its for myself, my loved ones. What's the point of earning more money when health is bad?

Health and family are going to be the foundations for me. Upon these then I can build others like finance and career and friends.

When you are sick, all materials things fade away, in fact they look stupid. What shined through were family love and precious time spent with loved.

When you are well, the reverse happen. No. I am not going to reverse.

Time to reboot life. Take charge.
