      mum got into an accident this morning in the condo carpark...the car skidded and brake couldn't stop it. fortunately there was a kerb on the ground. she is unhurt but traumatised.


      When was the last car servicing?

      it's a brand new car...1 month plus.

He said this is physics concept which I dun understand.

          the condo ground was dry.
          the important thing now is to recover from the shock.

            Went to CS after dinner.


            Saw my favourite wine

            Had my first taste of this ice wine many years ago, courtesy of hubby's Canadian counterpart in the previous employment.

            Had the second taste in Sweden, not this Canadian brand. It was good, but not as fragrant as the Canadian one.

            Hubby said he can buy overseas n bring back to Sg as handcarried.

            Can be done?
            Not forbidden?
            We were forced to discard handcarried wine because of the liquid rule. Unless he is buying from within the airport I suppose?

              If it is one off, then good that all is well. If it happens again, better to check through properlyto understand what happened.

                Then perhaps the lubber of the stock tires has hardened. May be good that someone reenact the situation n decide if there’s a need to change the tires.

                    Also need to know the reason n how to prevent another car skid.

                      Do you mean buy from the overseas airport which he departs from to return to Sg?

                        Elder boy helped me to buy these heavy duty gloves.

                        Much better heat insulation that the baking mittens I bought from NTUC.

                        Now my next buy would be IKEA cast iron pot.
