I chatted with this guy met recently and he was shocked that I didn’t own a car (or any type of automobile).

Sure I am 29 (ouch), sure I live in KL or any place in Malaysia, sure I’m a guy, and sure I don’t have a car although I do drive lousily (due to no car). I have renewed my driving license for almost 10 years, and I practically paid for nothing I used.

Seriously, I don’t like to drive, that says it all. And I don’t like the idea of stucking in traffic jam, paying high parking fees, well, looking for parking spaces on top of that, high maintenance fee for a machinical machine that I am not good at. I really admire those countries where citizen don’t have to drive and public transport is a bliss. That’s why I moved to KL, because in the least they offer LRT which I think is the best public transportation in Malaysia (but none to compare with other countries)

And I am sort of an environmentalist, so I am trying to avoid using a car whenever I could. So you might ask, how do I travel around? Well, for work, I use LRT, that’s why I stay so near the station, and for leisure, I will go to LRT reachable places, or rely on my friends’ car. It is very dependent and very limiting to open up my social cycle, but well, I am really just a homey guy who likes to stay in, and I am stingy enough not to spend money whenever I could.

But look at the high side, if I were to go dating, at least the guy could drive me home and during the journey, he could hold my hand, isn’t that insanely romantic?
