Diabetes Scare

On the week of 08 Dec 2025, a stye grew on my right eye and I didn't think anything of it. In the following week, the stye broke and there was pus in my eye all the time, had to keep cleaning it, especially after waking up there was this huge chunk of yellowish or greenish hardened pus, good thing I have a lot of antibacterial wipes and I brought one pack to work. Then I noticed that my vision in both eyes started to get blurry even with glasses, can't see near with glasses, but if take off glasses can see near but then cannot see far, then with glasses far looks blurry. I also had trouble sleeping well for quite some time even prior to the stye because I kept waking up at night to pee and felt thirsty all the time, to make matters worse I don't drink plain water much, kept drinking sodas and sweet tea. On 28 Dec 2025, I went to buy a combo pack glucose monitor "Contour Plus Elite Blood Glucose Meter (MMOL) + Test Strips 50s + Lancets 100s + Alcohol Swabs 200s", i...

Temporary Crown

https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2025/11/permanent-crown-broken.html Today manage to go off early after work and rush to clinic, go early the MRT and bus also damn crowded. So I reached the clinic a few minutes before appointment time, basically dentist helped to put on a temporary crown, I guess also did a really thorough cleaning and scanning before putting on the crown that's why the whole session took like 1hr 45mins or so. Then next week have to go back again to put the permanent crown, after that then talk about the implant to better spread out the force of my bite. Today paid S$1000 for the crown and S$5 for infection control charges, then orange CHAS card deduct S$410, so end up paying S$595. Hmm nowadays have this infection control charges, I checked with the staff she told me it is payable every visit, anyway not a big deal considering they squeeze you dry with other things, but at least now the CHAS card seems more useful, I remember last time orange is as goo...

Permanent Crown Broken

https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2024/08/permanent-crown.html Yesterday night while eating Calbee prawn crackers, my permanent crown broke off, didn't bite anything hard so I think must have cracked already. Today went to my neighbourhood dentist to try my luck, good thing they have a slot for me and didn't have to wait long. Dentist told me have to redo the crown, I was thinking what the heck, only did the crown last year, also told me could be because I have stronger bite and my lower jaw missing a tooth (second molar), so recommend me to do implant to spread out the force. Then dentist helped to do a filling, took x-ray for the implant, consultation and a infection control charge, so total is S$255 then lucky I have orange CHAS card, deduct S$54.50 so end up paying S$200.50. To visit again on Monday to do crown.

Sold All My CRO

Finally I gave up, had a chance to sell for more when it was at $0.36-$0.38, in fact wife kept telling me to sell, I held on to the hope of going to $1.00 but end up only to watch it tumble down again, sigh, but it's ok, I managed to get out with a profit of $4493 so it's actually not bad. This CRO is a big disappointment, held it for almost 4 years, even rotated my BTC and ETH into it, what a waste of opportunity, but at least this one I still got profit, I remember I lost money on ShitPost. Currently I bought ETH again at $3736, seems like a good entry price, hoping it will go to $5300 then I sell.

Vaping is Out of Control

Image
https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/school-parents-on-alert-after-vape-peddlers-approach-primary-school-pupil Two teenagers trying to sell vape to a primary 4 kid, what the heck, easy to obtain is one thing, blatantly selling to a kid in broad daylight is crazy. https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/organised-crime-groups-pushing-drug-laced-vapes-in-asia-including-singapore-un Nowadays some of the vape is added with this "etomidate" or "ketamine" drug, who knows what else they can add, imagine what will happen if your primary 4 kid take try vaping out of curiosity or peer pressure. https://www.go.gov.sg/reportvape Can report vape offences using the link, but HSA says they are dealing with a lot of reports.

Got the New Job

https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2025/07/time-to-change-job.html So the HR reached out to me last week, overall package seems pretty standard, nothing fantastic or terrible, 14 days annual leave, 14 days medical leave, outpatient and dental claim (with yearly cap), hospital leave (up to 60 days inclusive of the 14 days medical leave), group insurance (exclude dependants), only thing lacking is cannot claim outpatient or dental for dependants, but really it's not an issue, typically those that cover dependants will have a yearly cap anyway. There's a 1 month performance bonus, which is not bad. The one fantastic part is the pay jump, about ~34%, totally didn't expect that, I thought they would come back and try to negotiate down but they didn't even try, basically I just put in a higher amount as advised by my ex-colleague, and they simply accepted it. I initially thought at most it's a 5-10% jump, honestly didn't know this new role can draw this kind ...

Time to Change Job

Image
https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2024/02/6-weeks-at-new-job.html My last post about my current job was last year, from then till now I have been at this job for about 1.5 years, and I'm moving on soon. The job itself actually is alright and quite meaningful and I really enjoy the work because there is a lot of things I can learn, problem is the manager and lead, outright incompetent and unqualified, what a waste of the team of good people we have, already 3 throw letter and I'm the 4th, more will come, eventually even the useless manager and lead will throw letter too when the project turns into a complete shitshow, I have seen this before, it will happen here too. Always must have idiots to ruin everything right, sigh. So before the real shit hits the fan, I thought I better get the hell out first, so last Friday 11th Jul I officially tendered my resignation. Funny thing is actually I announced my resignation on 4th Jul with the day of notice to be on 11th Jul, at t...

How to Marry a Thai in Singapore

Image
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 ...
