Comfort Taxi Finally Can Add Credit Card

Today went to see heart doctor with wife and baby, went there taking GrabTaxi, come back want to book but cannot get any taxi at all. So decided to open up the trusty comfort app and saw this new offering, now can add credit card, and if taking the ComfortRide, there is no admin charge; normally if pay by credit card there is a 10% admin charge. Reason why I say trusty is because Comfort no matter at what time or where, can always get a taxi, the availability is just amazing, but have to pay by cash because nobody is going to pay by credit card and get charged additional 10%, but now it has changed. Anyway the ComfortRide is a fixed pricing service, for example if the app quote $12.40, it means regardless of how long it takes, any traffic jam or delay, you still pay $12.40 so there is no benefit to the driver if the trip takes longer than it should be, but can see the pricing is roughly a bit higher but not huge difference, probably a few cents to a dollar, but I guess it is still

Lee Fun Nam Kee - Soya Sauce Chicken Rice

Image
Yesterday went to try this stall, good thing they open on National Day, just trying my luck, well worth the trip, the soya sauce chicken is amazing. A bit pricy but I think it's very good so don't matter much. Forgot to take photo of the dumpling soup though, soup is ok, dumplings were nice. The rice also the defined type not mushy type which suits my palate. Must try. They open at 11 AM. 94 Lor 4 Toa Payoh, #01-04, Singapore 310094

I'll sum up the key points in the FAQ provided by ICA so you don't have to go through one big page. Do let me know if I missed out anything or correction is required by dropping a comment.

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
