Return to Singapore

After Church Camp, we spent the weekend from 18 to 20 June with YowCH’s parents. We had some shopping trips and some meals.

A good drive back to Singapore started at 2:30pm on Sunday and we reached home at 9:00pm after a jammed stop-over at Pagoh, refilling the tank at Machap, a KFC dinner at Tanjung Kupang, 1/2 hour jam at the Malaysian check-point and droping Hsiao Yen and Han Wei at their home.

Total distance driven from Singapore to Church Camp, home, shopping, meals and back to Singapore is 850km.

We reached PJ at about 9:30am and spent some time with YowCH’s family before going over to Saujana.

Isis gets video cam and HID lamps

We added a in-car Vehicle Video Recorder which records the front view all the time the car is on. At $199 from Automobile Association of Singapore, this will help settle disputes for any front collisions. Uses up to 4GB SD card but comes with 2GB card.

Here is the link for info on the Vigi MT-12 video recorder, and for the brochure.
And here are examples of 100% sized screen capture, not too clear at night but day time is OK.

We have also changed the headlamps to HID (4300K) and the pole lights to LED at Pandan Loop, as we intend to travel on the PLUS at night and the original lights are just too dim. Here are the parts:

Isis gets tweeters and dinner with PQ, KY & SH

The Isis gets a new pair of Impact NT125 tweeters today, done at Kim Seng Road for $125.00. Nothing special to boast about but all the treble sounds are certainly sharper now.

Also, we added another hidden lighter point to the Isis for the upcoming Vehicle Video Recorder.

Later in the evening, we had dinner at Prego with Ping Quen, Yan and Siu Hei. The little boy has grown very big already, and very active now.

Isis now has 16″ tyres

Last night about 9:45pm, coming home from Grace’s parents’ place, YowCH did a corner too tight and fast, hit the kerb and burst the right front tyre. The right rear tyre also deflated after a bounce, so with two tyres out we had to call AA tow.

With most shops closed, and today being public holiday, we went to a ‘late night’ tyre shop in Jalan Besar, City Tyres Trading, as recommended by the tow truck driver. As the front rim is also dented, and the shop has no 15″ tyres, we decided to up all the rims to 16″!

We took the new Michelin Primacy LC (silent tyres), and being 205/55/R16, the handling is much better than the original stock Yokohama 195/65/R15 and runs surprisingly silent. Rims and rubber at $1280.00, reasonably priced. All done up by midnight.

NUS Bridge on STOMP, Joseph the ice-cream king

Whoa! YowCH’s NUS Link Bridge project is featured on STOMP, obviously written by someone pretty malicious and ill-informed. The comments are all blasting the person who posted. Currently the bridge is about to be completed, with 6 more segments to go (out of 29), and should be structurally done by end-June.

Also, we see Joseph the ice-cream king. Here, he is eating a Mini Cornetto blueberry at grandparents’ place after dinner.

Just a note, he took a few bites, but didn’t finish the whole thing, the whole Mini would have been too much for a little boy.
