New 3-Station IPPT Looks Easy!

Image
Today I checked out the 3-station IPPT but first this is the 3-station standard: 3-Station Standard At first I was thinking the new system might be tougher since it has only 3 stations, last time was 5 stations, but I tried the calculator and got a pleasant surprise. 20 push-ups, 36 sit-ups and 15 mins for 2.4 and I get 53 points for a pass. This is not so siong for me. Pass! If I try harder, 24 push-ups, 40 sit-ups and 14 min for 2.4, I can get incentive which is $200. Incentive! Wow, now want to pass is much easier. One catch is there is a minimum amount you must do for push-up and sit-up or else you fail, for me is at least 11 each which gives me 1 point each which means minimum must get 1 point each for push-up and sit-up, surely I can do more than 11 la. Another good thing is I have one whole year to pass, and if I fail, I have another year to take RT, big improvement, last system was very punishing for working people, with this new system I think it will

Still Haven't Get Wife's Hospital Bill

My wife was discharged on 26 May 2015, until now we still haven't got the final bill from hospital, reason why I need it is because I can claim part of it from company which is quite a substantial amount. I checked with the NUH staff twice and they told me pending on CPF side, so yesterday I called CPF and got a shock, they told me they haven't received the Medisave claim from NUH! How can it be, NUH told me they submitted on 10 Jun, and until yesterday CPF haven't receive? Then the CPF staff told me today they should receive my claim and will process it, wow, it's been more than 2 months since my wife discharged and now then they process, I wonder how NUH send the claim to CPF, don't they have a computer system or at least registered mail, it's ridiculous. Anyway I hope I can get the final bill next week so I can submit to my company.

ISIS In Singapore

Just read about this story where one of our youths were planning to go support ISIS in Syria, and if that was not successful, he was thinking of attacking our key facilities and assassinate our country's leaders, and if he was unable to carry out the bigger plans, he intended to attack people in public with knives, like the China and Taiwan cases, so as to strike fear in our society. Religion can really twist a person's mind if abused, a Singaporean want to attack Singapore, can you imagine that, must lock him away indefinitely, and any such people, they are harmful to our society and radical thinking must never be allowed to breed here. I hope people realize how fortunate we are in Singapore, how everything here is so precious and didn't come by easy, and we must do our best to protect it not just for ourselves, but also for future generations. Don't just say no to terrorism, take action, report it, who knows you might just save a lot of lives.

Nose Cleaner, Bulb Versus Tube

Image
About two weeks ago my wife was complaining about the mucus in baby's nose, she used cotton sticks to clean baby's nose but deep inside cannot reach, we know there is something deep inside because when baby breathes, sounds like there is blockage and seems as if she has difficulty breathing but actually it's not as bad as we thought, most important is baby can feed well. Anyway we bought the bulb type of nose cleaner, the brand is Tollyjoy, one piece for $4.10 at NTUC Fairprice, this one cannot clean the mucus deep inside because the suction is very weak, you have to press and release to generate suction, and the bulb is so small so it is impossible to generate a powerful suction. I think the only good thing about this is small and easy to keep, and good for cleaning those visible mucus, but that can be done by using cotton sticks so really no point. So today we bought the tube type, brand is Pigeon, one piece is $6.90, damn worth the money, should have bought this i

Sheng Siong Selling MamyPoko $10.95

Just now saw two types, one is with the tape the other is like a short, no need to tape just wear, both selling for $10.95 each, one pack I think 50 or 60 pieces, wanted to buy but didn't because don't know good or not, I had a bad experience with cheap diapers recently so this time we bought back the same brand with same manufacturing location i.e. Thailand. This $10.95 even though also MamyPoko but it's made in Indonesia, so cheap, how can they sell until so cheap, must be something wrong, good material where got so cheap, must be using lousy material that's why can sell at low price, this kind of money cannot save, no point giving myself more trouble just to save that few dollars. The good MamyPoko still the best, very absorbent and lasting, I bought the 3-8KG pack for $19.95, inside have 68 pieces.

PETPET Diapers Sucks

Recently we saw this brand of diapers at NTUC, damn cheap, bought 2x32s packs for $9.95, it's small size for up to 7KG, newborn also same price, I thought cheap can try but compared to MamyPoko really huge difference. This PETPET always leak, especially in the night, always leak on the bed sheet, damn jia lat, the Mamy brand can last one whole night if only pee and no poo, poo have to change because smelly but actually still can hold, this PETPET pee or poo all leak! MamyPoko is about 2x the price, but trying to save and bring inconvenience is not worth it, better stick to the proven brand, anyway baby is now larger, have to buy bigger, the newborn size can hardly fit now.

Baby Jaundice 146

Finally the jaundice starts to come down, I think sooner or later will go below 100. Wife has stopped drinking the ginger tea for some time and jaundice comes down, definitely the ginger tea is the culprit so if breastfeeding better avoid ginger products, it will cause jaundice to go up. Baby's liver test also improved, doesn't show any sign of liver problem, probably the high enzymes also caused by the ginger tea. She is also gaining weight well, now she is 4.1KG, now carry with one hand feels heavier, she also looks more meaty now, soon she will be able to walk and talk haha.

Low Yat Plaza Incident

I heard about the Low Yat Plaza incident from my Malaysian colleague, he told me some thugs stole a phone from one of the shops in the plaza, a Lenovo phone, after that the staff at one of the shops named Oppo was alerted and they tried to stop the thugs, then after that the thugs brought friends back to take revenge, then next day a mob gathered and smashed everything they see and beat up people. I went online and saw a different version of the story, supporters of the so-called thugs said the shop scammed them and they were the victims instead, but in the end the a video surfaced to show that the theft did happened. These two days seems like a lot of the story was removed from sites, I think the Malaysian government is trying to keep things from going out of hand, it is after all a very sensitive issue, but those people who got beaten up, their cars smashed, this made me realize how safe we are in Singapore, yeah we had the Little India Riot not too long ago but that one is more
