Went for Dental Implant

https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2025/11/temporary-crown.html Today went for my dental implant, wasn't as bad as I thought, gave me a few jabs of local anaesthesia and then dentist did her thing, didn't feel any pain, just pressure and shaking from the drilling, screw in the implant and abutment and finally sutures, took about 1 hour for one implant. Two weeks later I will go back to remove the sutures. Paid S$1950 from Medisave, another S$850 to be paid in cash 3 months later when taking crown mold, so total is S$2800.

About Time to Think About Retirement

Phase 1: 0 to 20 years old - grow up, education. Phase 2: 21 to 40 years old - work, marry, house, baby. Phase 3: 41 to 60 years old - semi-retire, baby grow up, baby education, baby work. Phase 4: 61 to 80 years old - retire, baby marry, baby house, baby baby. Phase 5: 81 to 100 years old - coffin, baby baby grow up, baby baby education. Phase 6: 101 to 120 years old - if I'm still alive at this point I will come back to fill this up. I'm at the third phase of my life, house fully paid, no car, no loan, no helper, no child tuition, no need take care parent or sibling. Hoping I can semi-retire at 55 years old, by then daughter would probably have completed much of her education and begin transitioning to workforce. I have no use for my CPF OA since I already got my BTO in 2024, most likely will stay until I die. So I transferred some to my CPF SA after setting aside some money in case daughter need it for her tertiary education. There's also her baby bonus CDA account which...

Vision Seems to Get Better

https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2026/01/diabetes-scare.html After my blood sugar came down to normal range, my near vision seems to have improved, not as clear as previously but now I can see the text on my iPhone with the smallest text size, still takes a while to focus but definitely much better now. These days I totally avoid sugared drinks, candy, chocolate and whatnot and stick to healthier choices and I work out everyday and more heavy on weekends to build some muscles and I feel way better particular more alert. Hopefully my eyesight can recover to pre-hyperglycaemia level soon.

Diabetes Scare

Image
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.

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 ...
