Come with swimming pool ?

[SW9000]

Come with swimming pool ?

 

Only the Georgetown City got swimming pool. The one we stayed before, near Gurney Plaza.

If confirmed and no change, then the non-refund at MYR170 looks good. Twin share will cost S$102 each, excluding Genting.

 

If no need swimming pool or expect last minute changes, then town center Sentral Georgetown is an option. Twin share cost S$95 each, excluding Genting.

 

Anyway, I'm staying 1 room. Going to cost me between S$180 to $233, with Genting.

national parks board bought this $2.2k Brompton bike for their staff to ride around

 

http://www.asiaone.com/A1MEDIA/news/12Dec12/20121203.142015_pic4bk.jpg

 

KhawBW defends the purchase...

He also said that Brompton was picked because only one vendor responded to the tender with a bid price lower than the listed retail price of the same bicycle.

While a Brompton bike costs more than foldable bicycles with similar specifications, Mr Khaw said cyclists told him the bike was durable and would require less maintenance after heavy usage.

 

He concluded: "It looks like NParks has bought the right equipment. However, it also looks like NParks might have gotten a better deal if there was greater participation in this quotation."

 

According to the Lianhe Zaobao report where the NParks purchase was first reported, a police officer's bicycle costs about $1,000 while Singapore Post's postmen use bicycles which cost about $500.

if simply follow the "3 quotes choose lowest" formula means ok, then our police cars can use Ferrari liow, just get 2 more expensive quotes from Lamborghini and Mclaren can liow

time to renew insurance again. was contemplating whether to continue with AIG comprehensive at $414.80 (after 20% NCD + 5% loyalty discount) or 2nd party at $331.80... decided to pay $83 extra for the extra benefit.

 

indeed, insurer may just pay a "market value" (usually lower than our selling price) under "beyond economic repair" clause if suay suay cost of restoration is higher. but for just $83 more, the extra coverage is worth it. 2nd party means get nothing at all... touch wood

I support bike rental at park as well. Dont have to maintain the bike, dont need a space at home as well.

The bad is ... you need to reach the bike to cycle, and unable to cycle to park.

Bike pooling would be a good idea, but again ... who willing to share their precious bike ?

[MaIkEr]

Well you can start a Jupiter bicycle rental. 1 outlet at each park, can return at any outlet. much like the Taiwanese system. Funds can approach ah gong, can ask for cheap rental somemore.
