Paid the deposit for the car.

Honestly, the amount I have to pay per month is a little stressful.

It's a 1.6 litre car. All in all, I've set aside $1700 per month to bao ka liao.

It's not that I will incur this cost every month, but I've factored in maintenance (tyre changing, fluids changing, wheel alignment, etc), road tax, insurance, and the unfortunate private settlement in the event of an accident.

I think I'll start to drop alot of hair real soon. On a positive note, I can feel the motivation to pia and earn enough commission to cover a significant portion of the car expense. I feel that eking out a living when one is tight as compared to when one is comfortable, affects the work attitude level between good and excellent rather vastly. For example, if I start to feel sian about a client who is not showing much interest despite much efforts, the car expenses will serve to slap me 2 times in the face and wake up my idea.
