Saskatoon in Memory

It is now nearly 20 years since I left Saskatoon.But I still remember vividly many spots in Saskatoon. If I walk down east on 8th Street East from Broadway, I could see Dr Sheppard's dentist on my right then a petrol kiosk, Jubilee Ford,Grosvenor Park-Safeway on my left, Supervalue on my left....What else did I miss? Oh yes the video store where I used to rent movies.I can also see Canadian Tire Store BUT I look at its website the Canadian Tire Store is on Preston.I thought Canadian Tire is near Wildwood Mall and Zellers.It has been so long and I really miss Saskatoon.With the ongoing summer I'm sure Pike Lake will be a good spot to relax.Night spots will be nice at The Sheraton Top Inn...Oh! its all good memories

Automobiles

In addition to Malaysian made cars, I have DRIVEN many other models.My father owned a Volkswagen,a Ford Escort,a Nissan Sunny 130Y,and of course the very first Proton Saga.I DROVE all those 3 models(the VW was sold when I was 12th).When I studied at University of Saskatchewan Canada I DROVE most American Big Three Models.Ford Tempo,VW Passat,Chevy Celebrity,Chevy Beretta,Pontiac Sunbird (Sport model),Chrysler Plymouth Sundance, Chevy Sprint, Pontiac Firefly,Pontiac Grand AM (my 1st Outlook trip),Oldsmobile,2 door 87 Honda Accord,2 door 88 Civic,87 Nissan Sentra, Toyota DX,Hyundai Pony,89 Ford Probe (Fuuh!),90 Suzuki Swift, Ford Mercury Sable,Cutless, 88 Honda Prelude,Dodge SUV,Dodge Shadow,Chevy Corsica and 1970's Ford Pinto.I am 90% certain I was right on the car names.My Saskatchewan Driver License has expired but I still keep it in my wallet.I had 2 regrets i.e. I burned the International Driving Permit issued by the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) Wildwood Mall on 12th October 1990 AFTER my fateful car crash on December 2nd 1990 and my reluctance to DRIVE Convertible Cars and Corvette.I've DRIVEN as far as Vancouver BC But I drove alone from Saskatoon to Thunder Bay Ontario in February 1989.During my stay in Canada I WAS NEVER stopped either by the provincial police or the RCMP.I never ever had any ticket or summons no matter how fast I DROVE or whether I made the right turn.

High Crude Oil Prices

On June 5th 2008 the Malaysian Government increased the fuel price 78 sen to RM2.70 per litre while RM1 increase for Diesel.As a consumer with low income I lauded the move made by Pak Lah. If he keeps on giving the subsidies, Malaysia is near to go down under.BUT I am not happy with the rebate given to each car owner. To me RM625 is too low. I think RM1,500 would be a good figure.For my small Perodua Kancil which I bought new in 2002, it will be more than RM50 for a complete fill up.
