Frankfurt @ Germany

Visit to Germany, Frankfurt concentrates attention on Load Carrier System products.
Beside the new roof box name EXCELLENCE, THULE has comes with RMS (Towbar bike rack) for smaller capacity motorcar who do not required towing function but need carrying of bicycle/s. It uses the THULE(Brink) removal towbar system as base.

Furthermore, European market see the use of pedal-assist bicycle which is heavier and THULE has comes out with new model of towbar RMS bike rack for such.
It just looks picture perfect having THULE newest products on continental car BMW.

A day-tour visit to the OPEL (GM) factory is very enlightening to see the Automatic production of automobiles at source. It even has an in-house museum, where you realise OPEL starts with making of Sewing machine and even early day Bicycle model. The museum is an eye-opening experience, when you realise the legacy of work done by forefather generations of engineers and industrialists.

Just look at the typical car parts for just one single car from VW. It's mind blogging just to count the number of parts. Now I know why the industry feeds lot of mouths and this industry just too huge to imagine.

Singapore July 2008

Dinner with Eddy at CHIJMES, Victoria Street, Singapore... the place to be.
La Cave Restuarant
Mind the Suasage Plate, Eddy taking a Seafood stuff and Winston&Wife taking Meat platens. What is mouthful dinner, remember you get one for one beer here.














Hainanese Chinese Rice at Seven-Mile, Bukit Timah Beauty World area. A hot summer temperature with a nice cup of original homecook barley drink. It costs to be have fancy food dressing. For me a simple plate of local chicken rice will be just fine.

Soon Seng & Suet Ni Visited Taipei

Soon Seng and family visit to JiuFeng Hill-village, where they brought quite a number of goodies and toys.

Just look at the crowd, one has to really menovurve around to get pass the crowd.

Happy moment at the Children Playground park before Jing Rong get her tongue injured. Felt so sorry. He smile is just cativative.

Being at Terminal 3 brings another era of changes at Changi Airport. Its a functioning Airport, efficiency at its best. Carpet are soft, immigration clearance is perfect with Automatic-Scanning of passport (old and new passport accepted). Though I missed the smile of the immigration officier and the candy sweet to tell you "you are home". Prehaps, the Airport should built-in a Voice recording at the gate when I scanned the passport "Son/Daughter of Singapore, welcome home". That's me lying on the brand-new carpet, won't be doing that after one year...ha ha ha.

Gathering at Rochester Park (off Buona Vista MRT stn). Nice setting and dinner which then proceed to NTU club-house directly across, how convenient. Thanks Nellie to organising the event and openning up her place next year, possibly for BBQ with swimming.

Just take a look, the nicely prepared foods of the west. Bests presentation.Regular visit (yearly) to Soon Seng, still remember the frame brought in Taiwan. Happy friendly family. Thanks for the Cheese Cake, Its "sweet" at heart without saying.
A rustic part of Singapore, where hardly modern-day Singaporean step into or aware of its existence located at the Northern west end of the beautiful Merlion island. You can't find any big M or big K signages here.

Which also has a Safari Park with live Lion and Tiger roaming around and the kids just enjoy the ride on the pony and horse after pleading all the way.
A happy day for the KIDS and ADULT too.....ha ha ha
Flower flower everywhere, the kids goes for the dog, the adult goes for flower picture taking, even fish tank decoration. Potted Cratus plant and Jade street drag through the whole afternoon.
A very special resturant and all like it very much. Not just the unique dishes, but also the romantic and fun loving artistic deco. Here the kids "virtual feeding" the fish with nothing onhand. Remember the Piano boy which Megan keeping calling.
Here is the car that bring everyone around, photo taken below our home in Taipei. I like the house because it just looks like HDB.
