25 Jan 2013 – Just a Simple Bike!

Thu FB posting: on a search for a small folding bicycle without paying a fortune. Anyone knows where I can find one like this or similar here in SIN??

Thanks for comments from cousins Lock & Yun and to Helen, Gel & Ting. Lunched with Pat at Lavender Food Square and we got to check out some bikes in the same area. For my kind of cycling,  S$700+++ does not justify it. Aleoca S$90 is the one Helen Ng mentioned from any of the Giants in SIN ( like a Super Wal-Mart but not 24hrs). Will still keep checking but can probably only afford the Aleoca!!

And that bike will be the choice thanks to cousin Lock again for sharing this:

Coincidentally one of FB friends posted this after my bicycle search posting! Is this a hint?? 🙂

Thousand thanks to Ellen Brox for her translation: Old Olga celebrated her 100th Bday, and the Mayor brought flowers. Olga, it is incredible that you managed on your own! What about home care a couple of times a week? Think about it and call me. Olga was considering this for a couple of days, and then she called. Hi, this idea about home care is OK. But it must not be so far away that I cannot use the bike!

The Impossible***based on a true event about this family Maria, Henry and their 3 sons caught with tens of thousands of strangers, in the mayhem of one of the worst natural catastrophes of our time. Unexpected displays of compassion, courage and simple kindness that Maria and her family encounter during the darkest hours of their lives is really rather touching and at times emotional…

Nothing is more powerful than the human spirit – Tagline from The Impossible

10 Years***the night before their high school reunion, a group of friends realize they still haven’t quite grown up in some ways. Did not know what to expect in this movie but thought it was strange to see that the school name is Lake Howell High School, where Jeff, Linn & May graduated from. For a split of a second thought I saw an old pix of May. Later to discover that the writer and director Jamie Linden graduated LHHS same year as May, 1997. So it might have been a pix of May

The Sessions****what is it that the past 2 weeks of movies, this is the 3rd one based on another true story! Mark O’Brien, a man in an iron lung who decides he wants to lose his virginity. After consulting with his priest, he gets in touch with Cheryl Cohen-Greene, a professional sex surrogate. Good acting projecting sex as a natural act of wanting to help another to learn to be aware of their own body to be able to fiv and receive pleasure without motives.
