Went to Jurong Bird Park

So last week we applied for the Friends of Wildlife membership, today we decided to check out the bird park, it's a beautiful place and it was much less crowded than Singapore Zoo or Night Safari, and after walking half the park, we then know why it is less popular, the stench of bird droppings.

The stench can be overpowering especially at areas where there is water, I think the ponds are full of bird droppings, wife felt like puking lol, I also cannot take it, but other than the smell, the staff were very friendly, the environment is very beautiful, actually I think bird park is more beautiful than zoo, but bird park seems to be smaller than zoo. I think maybe because it rained a few times which made the smell worse.

And the bird I like most are penguins, especially those smaller ones, the way they walk is very cute, anyway I didn't take photos of them, but can see in my video.

As for spending, didn't really spend much there, only bought 3 scoops of ice-cream for $12.51 and $12.96 for chicken rice and lychee drink, the prices are after 10% member discount. Also bought a 500ml bottle of Aquarius for $3.50, taxi to and fro and that's it.

By the way the prices there are the same as Zoo.

I also made a video, check it out here.

Overall not bad, will go back on a non-rainy day haha.

How to Marry a Thai in Singapore

You should refer to here -  https://www.rom.gov.sg/reg_info/rom_marriage.asp Please spend some time to go through and understand the information on that section (legal provision, other information, filing of notice, solemnization and etc), if your still not sure, feel free to drop a comment here or you can use their FAQ . The ROM website did a really good job of putting together the information that you need in a well-organized manner. I've done it once and I think the guide is very easy to follow. The only hiccup I've had with my marriage is during the  Appointment for verification & Statutory Declaration where both of us were required to read out a wall of text and my wife had difficulty getting past the first few lines and the counter guy got fed up and told my wife to stop. Definitely my oversight as I didn't arrange for an interpreter beforehand but luckily, there was a licensed interpreter at the scene and we managed to get her to do the interpretation fo
