Review on our new Toyota Camry 2.0.

In one line, it's a passenger's car.

As a driver you dont really have much feel of the road or agility to drive rugged, quick and decisive. It's also fairly unresponsive and much like a tank compared to the Altis or 3series.

At 2.0 with a heavier load, acceleration and pick up isnt impressive, but still good enough once you've passed the 40km/h mark.

However, being a big car with a long wheel base, it's naturally very stable and rides bumbs well, thus giving a balanced and smooth ride.

I always feel like i'm driving a VIP around in that car. haha

Oh man. Fischella is really quite rubbish. To get overtaken from the run down the pit lane to the first corner is something even i cant do.

Maybe the car is not suited to his driving style for 3 races and 800km of driving later, as a top driver you should get used to it already. On that note, Luca Badoer is worst.





So far, the closest thing i got to owning a supercar is this lego ferrari :D

IVP in 1 week time but I dont think i'm near my top form. But we'll see how things pan out, the rest and change in training might be a good thing. Ultimate aim is of course to break that 49s barrier. With Subiash and Elfi as contenders, it's not an easy task for me! An easy heat will do nicely. Oh well...

Maths mid terms went well and i got 8/10! :D got caught out on some questions and was stunned for awhile but i know i've been practising hard and soon it fell nicely into place.

Nothing really interesting happened during the week. Except that i clocked 41.4 for 8 hurdles with energy to spare (: Most likely i'll be running 400m hurdles for ivp on the 18th oct. Personal goal is to clock a sub 56 which is highly possible. An early christmas present would be an ivp record (: Which is not out of my range (:

Sometimes it's easy for me to see why people give up track easily. In spore, it's really all about self motivation and personal goals. That's it. Unlike distance events in spore, we've no financial incentives.

This coming week is so called e-learning week, so there'll be no lectures but more of like webcasts to do ourselves. Yup. Not too sure how it's going to work out though.

In the meantime, lab report to do :/
