Kettler dumbbell set, as good as new.

2 pieces of 2.5-kg weight plates, 2 pieces of 1.25-kg weight plates, and 1 piece of 2.32-kg metal bar.

I'd supported a first-time eBay Singapore seller (who has zero rating) who'd listed this whole set of weight plates and metal bar at a super bargain price of only $18.

He was willing to close his auction early for me for the deal in the evening of November 26, 2012.

1967 Currency Devaluation

In 1967 there was a currency change and a 15 percent currency devaluation at the same time.

When you handed in 100 cents of those colonial coins, you received 85 cents of Singapore coins.

However today, your collectible colonial coins, especially those uncirculated ones, could be sold for many times their face value.

The Occult History of The Third Reich

James Bond 007: Thunderball

James Bond 007: Thunderball, 2-Disc VCD, 128 minutes.

In 1966 when Lido cinema screened this action adventure movie Thunderball, about that action spy agent James Bond 007, the queue to buy admission tickets on the first few days had stretched right out to the parking lot in front of the cinema.

One of my school teachers was among those movie fans queuing patiently to watch Thunderball.
