Sounds like they using the car as an emotional barganing chip..
Actually, I've long given up hope on my parents buying a car. Last
time still will listen to them talk this and that, but now whenever
my parents mention a car, I will simply ignore because I know
they're just 'chui kong lam par song' only, what I have personally
realized for my family is that if they really wanted to buy one,
they would have bought one long long time ago.
The era of cheaper COE is more or less over (at least for now),
and I've come to terms to the fact that it is highly unlikely that
the will buy one in the near future, and that overall I'll be much
better off saving and working towards one myself.
Exactly, I am buying time now... just sort of impatient here....
haha....
I did a simple calculation and the earliest I can afford one is
5 years from now.
But 5 years.... think of it make me feel very sianzz...
