hubby asked whether there was oil or water on the road surface, else the car won't skid for no reason and when a car skids, the brakes will lock the wheels, but does not give any frictional force to stop the car as the car has already skidded. 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.

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

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?

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.

Delicious; am too lazy to do anything but love to eat everything

Look yummy.

I used to make apple pies v often while we were overseas. Puff pastry was less ex compared to sg n there were free apples everywhere ard my neighbourhood. So shiok to stand besides the oven esp during winter.

Wines etc bought in duty-free shops in the airports are exempted from the 100ml limit on liquids carried on board the planes. They have to be packed and labelled by the duty-free shop in some way. All other liquids must comply with the 100ml limit, which means that wines bought elsewhere will either have to be packed in the suitcases or not carried at all. When we returned from NZ recently, we bought bubble wrap and packed 2 bottles of wine in our suitcase. We had bought them from wineries, forgetting about the 100ml rule! Luckily we had plenty of space in our suitcases and we had time to buy bubble wrap. Both bottled arrived back safely.

It's just 1litre of wine <24% alcohol? I believe he can bring back 2 1-litre wine bottles in his checked luggage. Customs announced it's now 2 1-litre wine+1 1-litre beer. Or 1+1+1 or some other combis of your choice. The more young adults (above 18) in your company, the better. With parents in law or colleagues, you can check in more bottles

Do NOT, in fact, NEVER handcarry please, unless he buys from the Canadian airport's duty free which would have the bottles in sealed bags.

BUT, will he be transiting with that sealed bag of liquids thru any other international airports before arriving in Singapore? If yes, I'm afraid that will depend on the carry-on liquid restrictions of that particular country. Pray no transits thru China or Australia. Middle East is ok based on my own experience.

We usually buy from the local wineries, supermarkets, farmers markets, Christmas markets or wine shops. Just wrap well with bubble wraps or newspapers and place all bottles inside a large SKP ziploc bag, then sandwich the package between your clothes in the centre of your hard case luggage.

Last but not least, please request for that red \"FRAGILE HANDLE WITH CARE\" sticker from the airline staff when checking in at the counter (if he intends to pack the ice wines in checked luggage).
