Buy so much this week


Today rain the whole day. So I cannot play basketball again. Jackie spend the day doing leather, notebook and a cat figure to sell with our scrap leathers. I spend my time to install back the T line brake lever on my 3sixty. 

Yesterday we went to Jurong East to collect the T line brake lever. After that we went shopping in IMM and I end up buying a new speaker for my computer. Creative sound blaster RG3. Sound is not bad. I need the bass for movie night on my desktop. 

Today I super happy as I got my MacBook Air adaptor. Next time if we fly oversea I can bring MacBook Air without the needs to bring the power brick already. 

This week also bought a metal shelf for $50. The metal is thin so cannot put too much stuff or I guess it will bend. 

We also have been discussing that after chinese new year in mid Feb we shall start of 2025 travelling plan. Initially thinking to go Chang Mai but we found a better route. In Feb and March, basically Hanoi, China Nanning and Osaka is all in the winter. Weather is between 25 - 10 degree range. This time if we were to fly to nanning from SG is $135 and then from China fly to Osaka is $120. This route will be better over if we fly to Hanoi or Japan directly from Singapore.

We are really contemplating to bike travel in Hanoi, Nanning and Japan. These place is very bike friendly. I am starting to see bike trailer and big bag to pack brompton thru the airport and train station.


Took train to Hai Phong

Today we are on our way to explore Hai Phong. 2 hours by train ride from Hanoi. Train ticket cost us 115k dong / person. Jackie looks for excited like a baby with grapes and green mango on train. Surprisingly that the train is air conditioned with power plug and toilet at each cabin. We are assigned cabin 14 and we had to walk quite a bit to our seat.




What is fun is the climbing up the train like immigrant like this. The train ride was not very fast and I believe is around 50km/hr. That why it will takes us 2 hours to reach Hai Phong which also take 2 hours if you are riding motorbike.


Tracy was kind enough to lend us her bike for free. Due to the bike is without insurance paper and mirror so it was not advisable for us to ride to Hai Phone on motorbike. We will have to temporary park our bike at MaI Bima Leathercraft shop while we are away for these week.


Yesterday night we brought Sandy and her 3 daughter to Hanoi to enjoy chicken feet. Jackie was damn enjoying the chicken wing as she say that the chicken is full of favour as it was breed on the top of the mountain somewhere in the north Vietnam. You can come here as we highly recommend it.

Brompton P Line

​well. I sold my old superlight raw lacquer for a $700 profile. This bike is so great that both of us has seller remorse over it. I mean I could have profit a 1.3k at least. Show u by ex photo. 


Well. My 3sixty chrome is still with me. Like my 初恋情人. Cannot be replaced even by the atas Brompton. Show u my 初恋. Although she is also available on carousel. 


Now after Jacky gets her red superlight and I buy another P line storm grey. Our collection in garage as follows.

Soon we will need to buy the sets of tools to repair and maintain our bike. Stay tuned.
