I was thinking..... air-wise should be IWC big pilot ya? what about land?

then it struck me that Alvin Lye of azimuth once told me his watches are made to cover sky land and sea - he started with all the sterile dials pilot watches, then the divers, and recently the Landship. Even got spaceship also.




anyway, got to catch a quick nap. Need to do some charity work tonight before I fly off tomorrow for a week.

Canola (actual name is rape seed, they invented canola so it sounds better) was used to make engine lubricants before they discovered how to make it edible. It's an easy crop to grow cos pests would not touch it.

Sunflower seeds are small hard seeds that do not produce any oil without chemical extraction.

High smoke point fats are best.

Pork fat, duck fat, beef fat, ghee, then comes macadamia oil, avacado oil, coconut oil, olive oil.

In the first place, I would avoid frying food. But if no choice, I'd use an animal based fat rather than plant based fat. Plant based fats are best for cold use.

Stir frying at relatively low temperatures probably ok to use plant based fats.

So if you're like most people afraid of using animal fats, then the cost issue is going to be worse if you choose the most appropriate plant fat for frying.

animal fat oil....nvr heard b4. i don like fried foods also, but since in law is the one doing the cooking at home, so no choice jus eat. that's y i started to buy those "healthier" oil thinking that it is better than the normal vege oils.

Lard lor..pig fat. Last time my wife in Kampong they use wild boar fat for cooking that's all. All the type of good and not good stuff confuses me at times. I just stick to what God (or the "Creator" to borrow the term from Noah) created...and avoid all the man-made stuff as far as possible such processed carbos (refined sugar, white bread and rice -- ya this is hard to avoid in our fried rice paradise of Singapore), sugar drinks and cakes, processed oil (trans fat) and yes I use a filter at home to remove chlorine and flouride from the tap, use a flouride-free toothpaste and Aluminium-free deodorant etc ..the chemicals that they put in to make them feel and taste nice to earn your $$$ but harm your health.

haha yatto bro, i think i forgot to mention that i might hoot a car in a few years time too... when i...

a) have more spare cash on hand, or
b) prices become more "affordable"...

whichever is earlier... lol.

Yato, let me know how your 305 performs accuracy and consistency-wise. For me it slows by a few seconds a day on the wrist, and I leave it crown down overnight where it gains back so its more or less spot on after the daily + and - pattern.

But I guess next few days you will be busy enjoying your Japan trip. Post some nice sushi and ramen pics as backdrop to your new 305, and of course any breathtaking scenery!

Have my eyes on this vintage piece. Yay or Nay?
