Penang: December 2024: Entry (1/4)

 Well, suppose I'm back!

Intent for the trip is settle residential matters so being here will be a lot longer than other trips out. It gives me some amount of breathing space outside of being in SG, just at the moment, I still prefer being in SG than Penang, but as the few weeks I'll be here go by, I hope that it'll change for the better.

Sleeping well tonight I'll hope

Pretend that there is a transition between me going to Malaysia... And here I am in Malaysia!

Yeah, forgive me... Crooked back and full hands with the amount of luggage we are carrying, not a lot of time for me to take actual photos.

But really, it doesn't take long for me to fall for Malaysian traffic again, old cars being decent commonplace compared to the ever-futuristic Singapore.

Seeing the Airtrek again is a love affair. Its sad that I haven't driven it much and yet I keep looking into potentially selling it off for something less powerful and less practical. Someone please knock me on the head with a hammer.

Still here!

Speaking of which, the Honda Integra that I did a writeup on quite sometime ago is, expectedly still there. From what I've read, maybe it is still receiving TLC. But truth be told, it will be a long while before I can forsee myself committing anything regarding it. 

And alas, with the help of a relative, we're able to formally reunite with the Mitsubishi Airtrek. I'm thinking of a name for it, since the current label for it, AirtrekR, is a bit too plain. Maybe if you see the label has changed, then you'll know that I've given it a better name.

Really, I've forgotten that this car, honestly, is a different ball game compared to the C350 and the Elan, to say that while it isn't a perfect driver's car by any means, the handling dynamics and overall usability dynamic is just different from the other two cars. I should be sampling this a lot more rather than contemplating on an immediate sale to move onto something else that I've longed for a while.

Plus, aren't I mad for trying to downsize from a 4G63T to a Charade 1.0, 1.6 or a 4G93P? Maybe, but on a different note, our mechanic left the whole original gearbox in the trunk.

Haa, its nice to return to this. Maybe on a good timeline in the near future will I look to styling this up more with more stickers or some Ralliart bits and pieces, but for now, they aren't a priority. I am definitely willing to find stickers though. For now, the priority is catching some sleep, and its quite late now, so I'll end it off. Cherrio!
