You mean THIS plane?
I like it.
I think it brings some meaning and incentive to work.
And...it is a GREAT conversation piece...especially Deep Purple's Smoke on the water.
I once HATED that song...because a guy could play it, on his guitar...and I couldn't.
Thank God...or I would not have the life I have today.
He saved my ass, by marrying the girl that I had liked then.
Man, if I had gone that road...I will not even have 10% of my money today.
Devon Tread, Philip Stein, Rolex...thoughts in 2013, Part 1 of 5
You know, if I were to be serious and think carefully about money. I would be depressed. Everyone dies. I have a family I love. So, I guess my thoughts may be shallow or deep. Whatever, I try to enjoy myself by collecting and having fun with material thin...
My thoughts
Some people may use money to buy materialistic things with a high price tag because they are in a position to. Technically there is no emotional value attached and they are buying it because of the price on the tag and to show certain people they can. For...

Thats the one. Really a cool piece
The barrels with all the pins for the music are hand made. That suprised me when I found that out. Are you tempted to purchase one Bernard?
might have bought the music plane if the Star Trek music..
Was from Alexander Courage.
Very Nice Post...
Rolexes may be common, but they are common for a reason and it is because they offer great value for money for what you get, so I completely agree with you on the value proposition of Rolex, it was wonderful to see all your collectibles and passions and h...
Thanks SalmanQ8..I can be quite silly at times.
I bought the new 2012 Porsche because of 1 reason, the stoopidest one my wife will say. Because I liked the new "nose". It looked shark/predator like...and I was just emotionally taken. ...
Not at all...
I wouldn't agree that it is silly or stupid, it makes perfect sense, the new generation 991 from a design perspective for myself is the best ever and so is the finishing, here was my experience with them: S
YAH yah...the lamps make visiting MAD Gallery worth it
I think that a trip to the MAD gallery is worth that. And...EXTREMELY well put together. WORTH every cent. More...I think it will make the most excellent gift/heirloom that would fit any office. It's just so...good.
TRYING my best...I have at most 60 years to go..a UN striker
Which means maybe 40 more toys. like this fella
I am uncertain if I belong in this Thread. some definitions...
Of rich and super-rich do not match mine. Regardless money can have many uses although fiat money has no real worth. I have not a clue what the ultimate goal is for your funds. Perhaps since you cannot take it with you, you should enjoy some to all of it....
totally agree about tech...but a slave to it
Although it must have taken 10 years in this case, of opus 3, for tech to catch up with the imagination. Usually, tech stuff is like a camera's digital agility...which just gets better, leaving my today's wonder camera in the dust, even as I unwrap it. Th...
i wondered...
with that much R&D went into the production of Opus 3, how come HW does not utilize the solution and produce more siblings of this iconic piece? it is just very unlike HW's recent practice wherae they obvious have a lot of models offered in different pack...
Do not agree
I think that would defeat the object and purpose of the Harry Winston Opus line of exceptional timepieces. These are, as far as I understand, one time only collaborative efforts, utilizing the jeweler designs of the magnificent Harry Winston, and the uniq...
i agree
that the opus line should be exclusive, but how they resist making more models with pothole jumping time complication is of my curiosity:) as we have seem they already have quite a few similar engine different metal such as the z-series & gyro tourbies ru...
that might make a good topic as to many of us are "addicted"...
To high tech devices.
Great post!
Great post Doc, nice pictures (especially the Porker)! Hope to see the following installments soon! :) Regards, Robin ...
thanks Robin. This email...
thanks Robin. this UN erotic...can match the price of that car in the rest of the world. Except Singapore. SIGH. ...
Woah!
That's one unique watch, really daring as it is coming from an established brand such as UN! HAHAHA what to do... My dream is to own a few classic cars but seems like I can forgo the dream already la, since the prices of cars here are extraordinarily high...
Yes. I cannot afford the...
Yes. I cannot afford the cars ..I mean if I were to collect. This email is from the desk of Dr Bernard Cheong MBBS MD
Dear Dr. Cheong, thanks for the peak into your life..
... you are a complicated man with impeccable taste... and smarts. I am a simple man with good taste... and not always that smart. My friend (also a helluva guitarist) did not marry the woman that ended up being my wife. I sure wish he had because then I ...
WOW a 356 !!!!
In Singapore: Bad: Cars cost 3 to 4 times MORE than in the USA. Good: We have cctv almost ALL over every square foot, because we are smaller than the entire size of a University campus in the USA. Bad: We cannot keep cars. After 10 years, we have to pay a...
Ouch...
... I suppose that's a good argument for public transportation. Your 911 must be pricey to keep around - gas and insurance not withstanding. The 356 is considered a "historical" vehicle and some tax/registration relief is applied. Overall the car runs gre...
