Decent Increment and Bonus

Surprisingly my company paid me a bonus and also gave me an increment, both pro-rated of course but not bad, just nice have some extra money for Chinese New Year. The bonus kind of little even if not pro-rated, about 1.3-1.4 months, but increment still not bad, can see more than 4% if not pro-rated. So far still doing fine in the company, for now still not so busy but I think mid of this year should be very busy so now take it easy and try to tie up the loose ends.

Ichiban Sushi, Still Ok

Image
The Ten Don standard drop, instead of crispy tempura ended up with soft tempura, only the prawn and fish tempura were soft, the veggies at least still crispy, think the chef forgot to dry the prawn and fish before he fry it. The cereal karaage still great though, serving size is considered generous, crispy and fragrant.

New KFC Chicken

The new parmesan truffle chicken is actually the hot and spicy chicken, they just put some cheese on top, whereas truffle I can't really tell, anyway it is really good, I think it's better than the salted egg version. Also got the big BBQ drumstick for $1.50 thanks to promotion. And some cucumber to go with the chicken.

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
