Today I will tell....

Just got my bike last nite! Around 9pm went to meet the broker and the owner at Temasek club. Broker treat us to dinner and beer, of course I didn't drink, just ordered tea. Then talk c*** talk c*** for a while. Then after that inspect the bike visually. Hmm .... everything looks good, just like the first time I saw it. Checked the mileage, bloody hell, the owner has done quite some riding before handing it to me uh. 600km in two weeks. Never mind, give him one last chance lah. hahaha. Then took the bike for a spin on the highway. Whoa....it felt goood! Went back to the club, talk c*** talk c*** some more. Then the owner briefed me on the characteristic of the bike, how to operate switches, open up compartments, etc. Then, he briefed me on the handling of the bike, when to service, what to check regularly. Whoa..this guy damn patient. Going to let go bike already, but want to make sure new owner takes good care of his bike like tat. Then gave me a couple of phone numbers...

I'm a new rider. Just put down the d/payment for a 6 years old R1100RT after searching/contemplating/thinking/hesitating for 2 months. I must say it was a mixture of encouragement/discouragement. ha ha. But I saw it, I fell in love with it, and now I've bought it. Have I tested it? Well, I rode it alone around a carpark when I went to meet the owner. The swaying from side to side when idle is true. After that, requested the owner to bring me along ( I went as pillion) and speed to 100 km/h along AYE just so I can have a feel of it. The owner was very obliging. The ride felt stable and the bike seems willing to go. Didn't sound like it's working very hard. (Why didn't I ride it myself? he he, new rider, scared cannot handle the bike that still belong to someone else at that time). After that, took the plunge, paid the dpayment. If my loan is approved, I will be one proud owner. As to whether I will face positive or negative experience with it as I start to...

Went to Maybank to ask about home loan today. The bank executive was very helpful even though he knows I may not give him the business. I made it clear in the beginning that I'm helping my client to shop around. The DBS bank executive was very helpful as well. As for Standard Chartered, well...she seems impatient. I sensed she's trying to tell me not to waste her time, but to bring my client and speak to her directly. Sorry lady, I won't be giving you any business for now. After all the big issue regarding 'service standards' in papers, don't this people understand anything at all? I would expect someone from a well-known organization to know better by now. I was wrong. There are people, no matter what, will never get it, refuse to get it. How do these people last in their job? It puzzles me how some people get promoted in their company. I always hear not-so-flattering stories about them, met some of them even, and I wonder how did they get themselves promoted. ...

Hmm..not bad. A venue for me to express myself in words. Not bad at all. I shall frequent this place more often from now on.

My first post......wow...... Let's see how it looks like.
