Jacob's Limousine


This is Jacobs's Limousine and I am the Chauffeur.

I bought this bike for 100 dollars. I had no intention of buying a new bicycle before as we have one in the house (Owen's bike) and we rarely use it.

One of the reason for buying this bike is the Baby Seat that Weng (thanks to Weng) has given me. He said he has an extra baby seat (for bicycle) and asked me if I want it. I immediately said "Yes" even if I do not have a bike to put it (normally I always say "Yes" especially when people give me something for free :-)). I saw Weng the following day in the lift landing carrying this seat in a big plastic bag. He said he took a taxi from his house to office which cost him around 30.00 dollars for taxi fare (He lives in Woodlands, near Malaysia). I felt obliged because of this.

So then I had no choice really but to buy this bike. I started googling and looked for a lady's bike so that Olive can also use it to exercise (hopefully). There were some internet suppliers that offer free delivery but I am always hesitant to buy from the internet. So I ended up buying the one from a small store near our office. I had to ride the bike from our office to house as the store does not offer free delivery or maybe they do not do delivery at all.

We were also planning to send Jacob to school so I thought Olive might be able to use this to send/fetch Jacob to/from school. For now I am using it to tour Jacob whenever I have the chance in the Potong Pasir area where we live.
