House on Wheels

20 Feb 2013 – ENOUGH, says the Stomach!

Sun: appreciations to Richard from Sydney/Australia for taking time to visit and for lunch.

Mon: lunched at Little India and durian in Chinatown with cousin Wilki&Patty before they take off back to HI/USA tomorrow. After today, the stomach really needs to rest. Consuming an overwhelming rich food daily over a couple of weeks has certainly been unhealthy, this has taken its toll and the body is certainly feeling the consequences…

Tue: found a decent airfare back to EU via Saudi, one way SIN – London for US$332 S$412. Connecting with RyanAir London-Oslo S$85.

Saw a car that finally meets my needs – VW Transporter 5/House on Wheels.  Not too big and enables me to drive comfortably cross-country with it, perfect to be able to stop and stretch out to sleep . Only problem is that £55,00/US$85,000/S$105,000 is way above my budget. Not that I know much about vans or would buy one. But I have hoped to see a practical design like this to make me even want it! Finally this happened!!

LOVE … And Other Bad Habits** a SIN production. A look at 3 different kinds of relationships, from teen infatuation to the nuances of adult relationship. A divorced couple who might be on the path to reconciliation and a rekindling of romance. Two professionals who seem to be more dedicated to their careers than each other, until a workplace dilemma forces them to, literally, take action.

Beautiful Creatures**is set in fictional Gatlin, SC/USA. A supernatural love story tells the tale of two star-crossed lovers: Ethan a young man longing to escape his small town, and Lena, a mysterious new girl. Together, they uncover dark secrets about their respective families. Went to this one because it was filmed in SC but disappointed that the beautiful SC scenes were not included!

Good Lord Boyet, my beauty, though but mean,
Needs not the painted flourish of your praise:
Beauty is bought by judgement of the eye,
Not utter’d by base sale of chapmen’s tongues – Shakespeare
