Britt McKillip has pitched up her Blueberry Muffin voice for this season, and it is driving me nuts! She sounds way too nasal.

One of the few reasons I want to migrate. I'm stuck with this locally produced Proton junk that has lousy gas mileage, because I can't otherwise afford to pay RM140,000 for a RM75,000 car! (Yeah, I looked it up on both Toyota US and Malaysia sites. US$25,000 becomes RM75,000 given the small value of Malaysian money. And yet they want another RM74,000 on the top for the imported vehicle tax/duty!).

Unfortunately, the Kancil is much more loved by Malaysians than Proton (it's seen by many as the car that will kill Proton's monopoly. Don't know why people didn't just attack the root of the problem that is the imported vehicles duty/tax that supposedly was imposed to "protect" Proton, and I suspect that their actions are what caused Astro to drop BBC Entertainment from their lineup (I don't buy the "Nielsen Media says that no one watches that channel" crap customer service gave me when I called in to complain. Are they saying that no one here watches Doctor Who, given that Doctor Who is only available on BBCE in Asia?!? Plus, it's extremely suspicious that the channel was removed shortly after said Top Gear episode aired on said channel...)
