Cold Calls from Recruitment Firms

Recently received quite a number of calls from recruitment companies, I already set my jobstreet profile to private so I don't think they got my details from there. So I asked one of them how they managed to get my profile, the guy told me they have it in their system from last year, told him currently not looking for job, he then asked me if I have any friend to recommend can call him. Sounds like they are getting desperate, digging through old profiles and making cold calls, machiam telemarketing. Anyway I have been working in current company for slightly over 2 years now, the project that I am working on has recently launched, no doubt very buggy but at least didn't have to rollback which we almost did due to some missing migrated data, luckily managed to discover and fix it and go ahead to rollout. Still many outstanding problems though but I suppose it's only natural, new system sure have teething issues, maybe another 6 months to 1 year it should stabilise. I saw this

Update on Kitchen

https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2020/11/bought-new-kitchen-and-kitchen-table.html Very satisfied with this new kitchen, this open concept is kind of cool, can see everything, if dirty can tell easily and clean up easily, should have got this from the beginning, I think when we move to new flat, definitely going to get this same kitchen or something similar. That's what I call cheap and good. I still like movable, no-need-to-dismantle furniture, for example wardrobe, don't like the built-in type, same rationale, if spoil or what need to dismantle, movable type just throw the whole thing away, way easier.

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
