Spock vs Spock: Who Wins?

This is an absolutely clever advertisement by Audi. Besides a battle of wits and speed between the old and new Spock, the ad also has other references to Star Trek. A sure way to grab Trekkies' attention lol.

Love the moments in the ad that alluded to things that only Trekkies would know - tractor beam, ' "I have been and always shall be your friend" with Vulcan salute' reenactment from Star Trek 2: Wrath of Khan, the Vulcan nerve pinch lol. :)

New Car

The girls' father collected his new car today. After dinner, we went for a ride to Kinokuniya as Marieann wanted to buy a new storybook. We thought the backseat is quite narrow, not as spacious as the previous car, Prius hybrid. We definitely preferred the Prius and I, especially so because it was an eco-friendly car over the new Mercedes Benz C-class saloon. If he had told me he was going to get a new car, I would have suggested BMW. My family had owned both Mercedes and BMW cars at the same time before and the cars could be compared. BMW seems a better ride.

An Eventful Saturday

This morning, my mother and I brought the girls to the Botanic Garden again. The Botanic Garden is a really good place to educate the girls about nature. Thank goodness, I was a Science teacher before, could at least explain things to the girls. The girls were thrilled to see the swans, a lizard, a family of squirrels, dragonflies, and different flowers up close.

Guess who is the real McCoy?

In the afternoon, an old family friend and us (my mother, my girls and I) went to Orchard Hotel for Afternoon Tea. The international spread was quite good. The girls became a little high after munching on all the sticks of marshmallows. Hahaha. We were there from 2 pm to 4:30 pm. No need for dinner! Hahaha.

In the evening, we said Farewell to an old friend, my father's car. It was a dark blue Citroen Xsara which has been with us since November 1998. It has served us so faithfully all these years, seldom having any major problems. Thank you, old friend. May you Rest in Peace.

Farewell, old friend! Rest in peace.

We also said Hello to a new friend. It is a dark silver Toyota Yaris which arrived today. Welcome to your new family!
Hmm...maybe it is about time I learn driving again since there is a brand new car at my disposal as my father is often not in Singapore. Hahaha.

Hello! Welcome to the family.
