New Series: Satria Neo

１９８６年，第一辆普腾赛佳面世，艳惊四座，全国沸腾掀起英雄车热，虽还在念书买不起车，却已为之神往，坚信马来西亚果然“Ｂｏｌｅｈ”，听说，当时要先给订金和台底钱，三到四个月才可以拿到车。

１９９１年，普腾赛佳的车价飞涨到３万左右，我用了在１９８６年足以买下普腾赛佳新车的价格，只买到了１９８４年车款的二手日产，尽管身骑日产，却胸怀普腾。

１９９４年，实在被当时有天人之貌的某款普腾车倾倒，车价已起到４万多，也狠下决心，委托在吉打州卖车 的朋友，加入雪片般飞去的订单阵容内，当时还把旧日产车先抵押了。望穿秋水三个月，卖车朋友说车已到，只等着注册；谁知苦等月余，始终未受召前往陆路交通 局注册，后来卖车朋友说我的车被“骑劫”了，要我再等两个星期，听说有人多付一千令吉，即刻取得了原先分配给我的车。当时的我，即刻打电话到位于亚罗士打 的国产车分销公司，用国语骂了些粗口，订钱也不要了，随即在吉隆坡通过同事的介绍，在二手车行用同样的价格，买下二手日本车。

New car with second hand quality???

服务与素质

２０００年，经济好转，口袋稍松，即想给太太添部座驾帮忙接送孩子，脑海立时又显现那款普腾车的英姿，查询报章随意拨了个电话，推销员居然在接近三更时刻，持了所有文件，不辞劳苦跑到班旦区小贩中心给我们签署，感动之极，即刻下订。

推销员的服务态度和效率没得弹，终于在２０００年８月２８日，一偿手握心仪已久的某款普腾车驾驶盘的夙愿，一大早注册后，我到陈列室取车，一个男子突趋前表演精湛的“偷车术”，吓得我多花了几百块钱安置防盗系统。

首次驾新车，滋味果然不同凡响，却在半路不断听到像老鼠叫般的吱吱声，甚为刺耳，原来右前座似乎装置不稳妥，路面一震就发出吱吱声。两天后送进总厂检查，居然要留宿观察，理由是车辆太多。隔天夜幕低垂时取车，惊觉老鼠声一样吱吱响，技工说查不出原因。

２００１年，另一款普腾面世，该用惊世骇俗来形容当时的观感，禁不住诱惑，便付了５００大元订金。８个 月后，持单向推销员查询取车日子，推销员黑着面孔说：“你坐一下，我们经理要见你，你自己跟他说！”傻等两小时不见经理影子，我开始嘀咕：“没看过付钱买 车要等经理这么久这回事！”即拂袖而去！隔天一早趁经理开完早会之际，便截住他理论：“经理，昨天我到报馆一趟，想给你登个广告，奈何报馆不敢接！”经理 错愕：“所为何事？”“哦！没事，只想劝告所有想买普腾车的人，绝不要前来贵行！”“发生了什么事？”“第一，贵行无法履行承诺，说半年，等了８个月，未 见车影；第二，贵行训练的推销员糟透，昨天为何让我等你两个小时？”“昨天我没在啊！”

把推销员叫进，在我面前训斥一番之后，经理推着笑脸说：“先生别担心，我知道农历新年将至，目前所有车 辆的分配都会优先给华人！”我气红了脸，站起来怒斥：“为什么要优先给华人？农历新年有什么了不起？为什么不是根据订单的先后来发配？怪不得我们要等这么 久，之前刚刚过了开斋节，所以之前优先发配给了别人，对吗？”经理依旧和颜悦色：“现在我保证在农历新年前给你拿到车，你要不要？”

我决定不要了，经理说若想退货就要没收订金，一气之下，就当自己被攫夺匪抢了５００大元，所幸没有被拉跌破头。

Very beautiful, but only outlook!!

再度情牵普腾

２００２年农历新年刚过，耐不住想提升座驾的虚荣感，本已芳心倾向韩国车，却被当时新一款的普腾车大事宣扬的３．９９%分期货款利率吸引，再度情牵普腾。

受召前往取车当日，是在早上７点半抵达陆路交通局，１０点左右完成车辆注册手续，便前往车行等待取车。读者诸君你信是不信，居然等到傍晚７点，新车才驾到我面前，而且是脏兮兮的一辆车，车行女东主说是搞错了取车日子，车辆没准备好。

当时的心情，就像当时的首相马哈迪医生一样，按奈不住想为不争气的民族掉泪。

没想到这新款的普腾车也和之前的一样，右前座没人坐时，就会发出老鼠声；后来驾不到三年，牙箱一直漏油，每天要添一罐的牙油，换一副原装牙箱的价钱，让我兴起再换车的念头。读者诸君，我该换什么车呢？

２００７年４月２３日，数名国会议员于在国会下议院炮轰国产车的品质及品管，虽稍嫌后知后觉了许多年，却说出了我的心声！

AirAsia Free Ticket Promortion RETURN!!!

Airasia half million free ticket promotion really does bring me a surprise when it start last night. It might be can said is unbelievable. Actually I want to book the ticket way back to Sibu during coming Chinese New Year, I never thought Air Asia will giving out a free ticket, in fact just hope for a cheaper price. Last year I bought the ticket way back to Sibu for CNY for RM200 plus, but not direct to Sibu, I transited Bintulu. Cos direct flight to Sibu is around than RM360 when is just open.

This year, what the thing come to worse. Air Asia (the local leading low cost airline) skips the low fare and first offer the price at RM426 per trip!!! What a stupid and cruel way to its loyal customer!!! Some more when I read the ticketing policy, it said " this seat is capacity controlled and all price subject to change..." I only can said f**k f**k f**king Air Asia...Why I want to take Air Asia (LOW COST AIRLINE) with FIRST CLASS AIR FARE. Why not I take MAS by adding RM20 more?? (MAS offer RM450 per way from KL to Sibu).

At last, I know Air Asia will still growing bigger and bigger with its promotion and low fare strategy, but it had give me an bad impression.May be should buy its' share since now cos the management done such a EXCELLENT PROMOTION works to gain money$$$$ from us!!!

Lost Track

Lately, I'm frustrating with my studies. I'm wonder why I always cant get a good result since I'm small? I've avoided to compare myself with others, but somehow the frustrating feeling came to me and I've been knocked down. May be the pressure had pressed my too much.

I believe I have my way to perform batter, but I known also I'm not on the right track. The challenges are always ahead of me, and I must goes on. Thanks God for guiding me for such a long time, and I pray to have such a good care more in future, Amen.
