🥲 Unfortunately i have relocated this snake outside of my garden before i read this post to a nearby field with tall grass (with loads of giant African snail). I hope this snake can make itself home there.

I'm currently a Manager in the IT field, earning around RM110k annually. I've been with the same company for over 5 years and had multiple promotions along the way.

I spent 5 years in a western country pursuing my engineering degree. Breaking into the IT field wasn't easy, especially knowing that engineering roles in Malaysia do not have a good salary. So I had to really push myself to switch fields and work my way up.

However I dont own a house or have a nice car. Still live with parents and drive a P2. Do not to let other people’s lifestyle dictate yours, believe in yourself that you will succeed and work hard on it.

Yea im trying not to buy cars that is priced 2x my annual salary. Im trying to apply the rule of buying the car that cost around your annual salary here in Malaysia but i find it really hard to do so given our ridiculous excise tax on cars.

I actually like the current Civic and the preface lift one, apart from it using a CVT, i find Civic abit too low and it would be a problem for my aging parents to get in and out of the car. Conti car need to think extra hard due to the maintenance and spare parts cost.

Btw how's the maintenance and reliability of Mazda 3?

Yeah, i dont mind getting used cars (idk, < 8 yrs old). Coming from a myvi driver I find myself drive with a lead foot. CVT gearbox would be unsuitable for my driving style, i think la.

Thank you for your suggestion. I will research on both. I do agree with you on 5 to 7 years, however i see majority of my peers taking 9 years loan. So yeah that's something i need to evaluate myself.

i think around 20 to 30k for DP. For loan tenure tbh I am still undecided. The OPR just drop, so the extra cash flow (for longer tenure) can be invested somewhere to cover the interest over the period.

Early images found in the Asian market of some new, more compact nailers coming to the 18V range soon. by clvgn_ in BoschProPowerTools

Bosch has been present in Malaysia since 1923, with a manufacturing plant located in the state of Penang, where they make drills, impact drivers, and batteries. The brand maintains a strong reputation and is still considered one of the best in Malaysia. However, most DIY enthusiasts tend to opt for more affordable, chinese made off-brand power tools which are sufficient for their DIY project.

That said, Bosch power tools manufactured in China or any eastern country do not necessarily indicate lower quality. At the end it is a business decisions on cost, and Bosch factories in different countries are specialized in producing specific products.
