Kunci apa sih??
Kunci mobil Nissan MARCH!
No, I didn't buy a new car. And no, I didn't borrow any car. Instead, PT. Nissan Motor Indonesia lend me their silver March for a week! Equals a bloody 7 days! Hahah.. surprised? I'm too surprised myself :D
Yesterday, I went to Nissan's dealer at MT. Haryono to finish some work. Planning to have my own birthday dinner with the cousins afterwards, I decided not to drive and just go to Nissan's dealer with taxi. Besides, who really wants to drive alone on Saturday night? ;) And consider the safety if you actually had a hard night! Lalala..
After a small chit-chat with my colleague, Voila! I left the dealer driving the cute silver March :D
It was unfortunate that my cousin, dr. Harry already picked me up at the dealer, but anyway, he doesn't mind it cause he got the chance to have a peak on March's big brother, JUKE. He even jumped into (my) March while it was still parked to compare it with his Jazz. "It's cool. Nice car for a 1200 cc." That was his first impression.
We finally left MT. Haryono for Tebet. To avoid the traffic, we drove along the "jalan-tikus" in Tebet. A real jalan tikus. Just a few minutes driving, my March already showing off to me ;) Cute babe, he made sure that he was designed for a real comfort driving in Jakarta. If you haven't know, Tebet is the area where the streets are way too small and you might find cars parked on the street.. Haha.. Yeh, some people sometimes don't really use their big brain to think. They use it for the sake of using it... doh! So, ok, my babe was making me sure that I should worry nothing. Its compact size made me not worry at all driving it in jalan tikus. Less worry on driving is just too important! It's a freedom! If I was driving my dad's car, with its big butt and long body haha, I would just gone crazy and maybe just grumpy all the time. I would probably curse my beloved cousin for taking me to drive along the jalan tikus. But, I was impressed :)
In the middle of dinner time, I got a sad news that my aunt from the other family-side died of heart attack. The fun night turned into a dramatic night. Leaving Park Lane, Casablanca - Tebet - Pondok Indah - then last destination Pondok Aren to my aunt's house and arrived safely. It was too sad, too much for me to realise the performance of the car. I forgot about the excitement. The focus was just to drive safely.

We made it home at about 2 in the morning,
March fits very well in a small spot in our front yard.
Too dark I know, but I have to take a photo at least ;)
I'll comeback with more stories for sure. I just need to keep it low right now :)
Sorry to hear about your Aunt Rell.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like the March is good for navigating the often crowded streets of Jakarta :). And it fits into the little side spot out the front of your house, cool!
it wins the 2010 most environmentally friendly car.., except its compact dimensions, how friendly can March be?
ReplyDeleteIt does, Pat Adele? I didn't know that :) That's awesome I guess. Well, I can tell that March is very low on fuel consumption! Crazy!
ReplyDeleteYes, Tristan! It's very space-friendly :)
