I PASSED!! Woooooo I got my Class 2B licence today!!! I was feeling quite nervous yesterday and even had a bit of trouble sleeping at night. This actually felt more unnerving than going for Ironman races lol. After the past few months of going to ComfortDelGro Driving Centre regularly for bike lessons,...

When I was first presented with the proposition – to drive the Audi A4 2.0 TFSI up to Genting from Singapore and back on one tank of fuel – I immediately doubted it. “How is that possible?” I remember saying over the phone. But after 10 hours of driving and over 800km clocked, I was thoroughly...

My car is like my best friend cum workout buddy – it accompanies me to training and sees me home after training. It has seen me at my best (when I’m happy or excited about something and start singing at the top of my voice) and also seen me at my worst (when I finish a tough training session and barely...

The one important thing that greatly impacts our car insurance premiums is the NCD (No Claim Discount), which is a discount offered by insurers for car owners who have not made any claims within a year or more. The more accident claims you make, the more your NCD gets reduced and the greater your premium...

Autobacs Bukit Batok is celebrating their store reopening with a grand carnival - the Vroomland Autobacs Car Life Carnival, which I was at over the weekend. After a two-month refresh, the store has undergone some redesigning to improve consumer experience. For example, the tyre...

It’s been a while since I had a test drive car and I had the absolute pleasure of having the Opel Astra for an entire weekend. The Astra, which won the 2016 European Car of the Year award, is a five-door hatchback that comes in both 1.0-litre and 1.4-litre turbocharged engines. This one you see here...
