Cigarette Butt Again!

July 31, 2014

WTF, 3 times in one month , I wonder who did that, must be the same a$$hole, not sure which unit, so zhun always kena my aircon, f**king hell purposely aim at my aircon or what, I reported to NEA again, better come and install the spycam and catch that scumbag and fine him at least $500, no at least $1000. See 3 Holes See my 3rd report. 3rd Report to NEA Actually on 30 Jul the NEA guys got come and stake-out but unfortunately never catch that f**ker, I think stake-out not so effective, install spycam easier, my area so many litterbugs, one shot catch and fine them all. I'm also a smoker, I don't understand why after smoking can throw out of the window, no ash tray? No trash bin?

Just Noticed SGX Clearing Fee is Cut

July 30, 2014

Source Well it's not going to make a huge difference but it's better than nothing, it's cut from 0.04% to 0.0325%, so for small time investor like me, every trade I can save a few cents, a few cents also money lol. 0.04% of $5000 is $2.00 0.0325% of $5000 is $1.625 I think the purpose is to encourage small time investors to trade more, I think it helps, see now SGX is going up, more people are pouring in their money but I wonder how long this rally will last, good things never last long.

Bought 10 Lots of Cambridge Industrial Trust at $0.735

July 30, 2014

A few minutes before closing I quickly went in to buy 10 lots, tomorrow is exclude dividend date which means any shares that I buy today will be eligible for their recently declared dividend of $0.01251 per share, to be paid on 10 Sep 2014. I have no idea why but after looking at their price today, which is down 1.342% from yesterday, I have a gut feel that the price will go up tomorrow, and I will sell it within this week for a quick buck, let's see.

Received My First Adsense Cheque

My GST Voucher 2014

July 28, 2014

I won't get getting any cash or Medisave top-up, can only get the U-Save rebates, let's see how much I can get. From what I understand, U-Save eligibility is according to home size and limited to HDB flats only, and the smaller your flat, the more you get. Mine is a 2-room HDB flat, so let's see. This is for U-Save. Flat Type Jul 2014 Oct 2014 Jan 2015 Apr 2015 Total Amount Per Year 1- and 2-room $65 $65 $65 $65 $260 3-room $60 $60 $60 $60 $240 4-room $55 $55 $55 $55 $220 5-room $50 $50 $50 $50 $200 Executive $45 $45 $45 $45 $180 So I can get $65 every quarter until Apr 2015, total $260, not bad. And there's also a U-Save Special Payment, it will be paid in Jul 2014 and Jan 2015 in payments of $130 each, total $260. This is for U-Save Special Payment. HDB Flat Type GST Voucher − U-Save Special Payment 1-room $260 2-room $260 3-room $180 4-room...

Tomorrow No Need to Work!

July 27, 2014

Sit back and relax, watch some movie, play some games, smoke and drink a red can of Tiger beer haha, it's red because it's the NDP limited edition. Smokes and Beer Oh just now I watched Divergent , not bad but a bit overrated.

Most Effective Non-Prescription Cough Syrup

July 27, 2014

Remember I said I was sick and my wife also fell sick, we recovered from the flu and fever but our cough persisted, then I bought a big bottle of Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa and consumed for a few days but didn't get better, finally I decided to try Robitussin Ex syrup, I got better after 2 sips, my wife also got better. One bottle costs $8.60 at Guardian. Robitussin Ex Next time I'll just buy this and nothing else, the Nin Jiom also not cheap but not effective, I think it's more of a health supplement than cough medicine.

Went to Talk to Neighbour Above

July 27, 2014

Before I went up, I spoke to the an elderly lady living two units away, I asked if she heard any noises yesterday night and she said she didn't, I guess her unit is too far away. She told me the unit above mine is a Malay unit, since this month is their fasting month, they probably get up early to prepare for prayers, but I told her that surely they don't need to be awake from 12am to 4am, she smiled and agreed with me, I also asked whether they have baby and she said yes, no wonder we heard little footsteps running about, she also told me to speak to them nicely. I went up with my wife, my wife was hiding beside, first thing I saw when I peeked in was a cute little baby watching television, there was no one else and the baby was knocking on the ground with an object, I can't see clearly as their unit was dark even when light was shining in, not sure why Malays like to have dark rooms, my previous owner is also a Malay, his unit was also very dark because he painted purpl...

2014 Hungry Ghost Festival

July 27, 2014

Just now my father dropped by with a package of offerings for the spirits, it's a combination of hell bank notes, Yuan Bao (Sycee), joss sticks and red candles, personally I don't believe but my father say regardless of whether I believe or not, no harm doing the offering. So me and wife went downstairs our HDB block, there is an open grass patch and there are two containers for people to burn the offerings, I think the spirits can only receive it after we burn it or something like that. By the way, according to the Lunar calendar, today is the first day of 7th month, 10 Aug is the 15th of 7th month, 15th is the day when the gates of hell open, so I think we are making an offering in advance. Then just now when we were at the container, one Ah Ma was preparing her stuff, my wife kicked off the burning by dropping in the Yuan Bao, and the Ah Ma was mumbling and looking at us, heard from my father that she was speaking in Hainanese, we are Hokkiens so we have no idea what she w...

Sold My 4 Lots of Sheng Siong at $0.70

July 26, 2014

Overall profit is $387.27, about 15.49% of the cost price, not bad. I sold because I don't think it can go any higher, anyway hard to say, every time I sell a stock, the price go up haha. Now I have some spare cash, not sure what to buy, everything seems so expensive, but I'm looking at F&N, if it can go below $3, I will wait and see, CIMB target price is $2.66 but I really don't think it's so worthless, their financials is good, and I think people scared to buy because they are worried that there is not much growth for F&N, but I like this company, I also like their products, see how, anyway I won't be buying anything anytime soon, just wait and see.

SAF IPPT Changes

July 26, 2014

Finally they did something about the IPPT, there are several changes and it's quite a long page to read, let me highlight the important ones that every NSmen will want to know, as for the details, you can click here . All changes will start from 01 Sep 2014, including the pilot implementation of the 3-stations IPPT. IPPT monetary awards increased, gold from $400 to $500, silver from $200 to $300, incentive pass from $100 to $200. NSmen will have 1 year to pass their IPPT, another year to clear their RT if they cannot pass, total 2 years. If you are in 9 months IPPT window on 01 Sep 2014, you will enjoy a 3 months extension. If you are in 3 months RT window on 01 Sep 2014, you will enjoy a 12 months extension. One-time reset of default offenses if you can clear your RT within current RT window+12 months. 3-stations IPPT are Push Up, Sit Up and 2.4KM run, maximum of 25/25/50 points respectively for a total of 100 points (refer to the details link for the scoring board). Fo...

Finally Confirmed Renovation Flooring Price

July 26, 2014

My father informed me that his friend will collect $1600 for the flooring works, way below the amount that I expected, I set aside $2000 so now I can save $400. I also checked with my father whether his friend made a loss, he said his friend only collected about $200 for his own transportation and the logistic stuff, the rest are for materials and labour, so basically he didn't earn anything. I think his friend also find it difficult to set a price, they are friends for 30 over years, if it was me, I think I would probably also find it hard to take money from an old friend, I won't mind absorbing all the cost if I can afford it. But of course we can't let his friend pay for everything, people do something for me, I must pay them accordingly, if they don't want to make a profit out of goodwill for us, fine, at least take the money to cover the costs, no such thing as do everything for free. And now that I saved $400, I will give my father $100 as referral fee, and...

Cigarette Butt Landed on My Compressor Again!

July 26, 2014

Bloody hell, this is the 3rd time since I bought this house, only about 2 months and I kena 3 times, I have no idea which f**ker threw it but I'm guessing it's not from the unit directly above because their window is closed but also hard to say, basket, I will lodge another NEA report, must bring this f**ker to justice, fine him pain pain. 3rd Time! I lodged another report with NEA, f**king hell, I hope this f**ker kena cancer. 2nd Report at NEA Really don't understand, I'm also a smoker, I have an ash tray at home, so after I smoke, cigarette butt throw where? In the ash tray of course! What the f**k, how come this idiot smoke already throw out of the window, power la, must fine him at least $500 to wake him up, my wife say go upstairs and check with them but what's the point, everyone will definitely deny, my way is to report to NEA until they cannot take it then they come and install the spycam and hopefully catch the f**ker in action and slap hi...

Managed to Fix My Toilet Leak

July 26, 2014

Yesterday my wife was complaining of a leak in our main toilet, I checked and it was dripping a little so I opened up the cistern and found that the water level was higher than the drainage. Unscrew The Flush Button Flush Button Exposed Remove the Cistern Cover Inside the Cistern The water will enter the cistern through the L-shaped piped, the red box is the water lock, when the water level reaches a certain level, it will push up the black ball, and it will lock that part so that water will stop entering, obviously it's meant to prevent the water from overflowing, and how strong the flush will be is also dependent on how you set this lock, you can release to raise water level so that flush will be stronger, or tighten to reduce water level but flush will be weaker. The Water Entry Pipe This is the big black ball that floats on the water, the red box is the water drainage to drain off excess water. Black Ball and Drainage Our dripping problem...

Channel 8 Crimewatch Just Now: Love Scam

July 25, 2014

A girl met a hunk named Adam through a social media, the girl fell in love with the guy, obviously because of his good looks and also because she thinks he is well-to-do, but she never met him in person, they only exchanged pictures. So one day, the guy sent her his naked photo, showed her his private part and asked her to send hers, she agreed and did what he said. After a while, the guy told her that he wants her to meet his friend, she told her she only want him, and after some persuasion, she agreed to meet his friend. She went to the meeting point and tried to contact Adam, then a guy approached her and told her that he is Adam's friend, she tried to leave but that guy took out his smart phone and showed her naked photo, that guy then told her to follow him and they went to a hotel. She was promised an exchange for her photos for sex, she reluctantly agreed. After the event at the hotel, Adam contacted her and told her his friend had a good time and he also sent he...

Yesterday I Lodged a Report with HDB Regarding Neighbour Above

July 24, 2014

I was very hesitant, not sure if I should look for the owner directly or what, let me share our experience first and you'll see why I decided to get HDB to deal with it. We moved into the house almost one month ago, wow, new house, so happy, but little did we know that the neighbour directly above has a plane engine for aircon, it's very old and rusty at the bottom, and the piping are exposed and dripping water all the time, it drips to our compressor, and I'm not sure what damage that might cause, but well, I'm also not sure what damage rain might cause, anyway that's not a big deal, the big deal is their compressor, I think it vibrates too much, so much that it shakes our ceiling, we can hear it in our bedroom, living room, kitchen, and toilets, it resonates throughout our flat and it's even worse in the middle of the night, and when I say it shakes our ceiling, yes it literally shakes our ceiling, we even removed the lighting cover in our bedroom or else it...

Neighbour Above Throw Cigarette Butt

July 23, 2014

This is the second time, first time the butt flew in to my room as I didn't close the window, I didn't take a picture that time as I was renovating, now it landed on my aircon compressor and it burnt through the foam shielding that my wife put on, lucky it doesn't cost money. My Aircon Compressor Closer Shot Now I'm not sure who threw it, there are so many levels above me, I think even if I put a camera also no point, unless I put it behind my block aiming up, maybe can catch the culprit. Anyway I wonder what my options are, complain to town council? Call police? I wonder if they will bother since I cannot identify the culprit. I hope this f**ker kena cancer, smoke more, die early please, scum bag litterbug. Update: I reported to NEA under Fire Hazard and they referred to SCDF, wow. Anyway I hope they install more cameras to catch these f**kers, fine them until their underwear and panties drop. Report Fire Hazard

7 in 10 NSmen in 30s Fail IPPT

July 22, 2014

Source According to the expert, most people fail at chin-ups, standing broad jump and 2.4KM run. Sit-up I think most people can pass, even plump people should have no problem because most people have ab muscles, just that cannot be seen unless you are very skinny or ripped, as for shuttle run, also most people can pass unless you leg pain or else very hard to fail. Chin-up Actually this one not difficult, should be the easiest to maintain, all you need to do is go buy those doorway chin-up bar, mount it up, pull everyday, starting cannot even do one never mind, everyday keep trying, do until you can hit one good chin-up or pull-up, but you got to have a moving target though, cannot just say today aim for one, one year later still aim for one, like that forever fail. Try one week aim for one, ten weeks aim for 10, it's possible, all you need to do is put aside 10 minutes everyday and just whack, do until your arm cramp. Standing broad jump A lot of people think you need pu...

Fragrance Moon Cakes at $19.90+ 3 Days Only!

Qoo10 - [Fragrance] Traditional Mooncakes (Choice of 8 Flavours) : Groceries

Just Received the PR In-Principal Approval Letter

July 21, 2014

First thing that comes to my mind is how much will it cost, according to the letter, it says in order to get the PR, my wife needs to complete formalities, provide 2 passport sized photographs taken in last 3 months, $5 for 4 pieces at ICA building, do a medical checkup, should be around $50 for TB scan and HIV test, $100 for entry permit, $50 for 5 years re-entry permit (leaving and entering Singapore for multiple journeys), $50 for identity card, I think it's the blue card, so total is 5+50+100+50+50=$255, wow, kind of pricey but well, PR has its perks so I think it's worth paying. Update: Just finished filling up the medical report part and remembered that my wife went for checkup in Nov or Dec 2012 when she renewed her LTVP so no need to checkup again since the report is valid for 2 years, the PR letter also say no need if the report was submitted to ICA no more than 2 years, so can save $50 ;)

Bought Our Sofa and My Office Chair at IKEA

July 20, 2014

Today my father came to finish up the kitchen cabinet, now it's fully completed, I think it looks really nice, all for $600, special price for me. And see the top used to be showing the pipes, now it's all covered up. Kitchen Cabinet He also built a small green cabinet to cover the rubbish chute, it is on the right door, left door can keep stuff and that cabinet spot used to be the kitchen sink, the washing machine spot used to be the ancient-looking stove, now it's all gone, see how much difference it made after we removed it. By the way this green cabinet is free, no need to pay money because my father used leftover materials to build it. Custom-Built Cabinet for Rubbish Chute After the cabinets were done, we went straight to IKEA and bought our sofa and my swivel chair. For sofa, we made our decision rather quickly because my wife was not sure which one to get, all seems nice to her, so I called the shot and bought a 3-seater black-coloured leather sofa for...

Don't Think I Will Visit Courts Again

July 19, 2014

Today me and wife went around looking for sofa, office chair and microwave oven, we visited IKEA but didn't settle on anything because we thought we should check out other places first, we ended up buying tidbits and stuff at their bistro section , they have all sorts of products which me and wife have never seen before. I grabbed a bottle of their citron and elderberry liquor, 3 packs of potato chips which I can't wait to try, a bottle of ketchup, yeah, the same one that they let you put on their hotdogs, I haven't try the hotdog though, my wife grabbed some strange tasting candy called Godis Lakrits, I really don't like the taste, and finally some fried onions, haha I love fried onions. After that we went to Courts at their Clementi branch. We started at the home appliances section, a salesgirl approached us and I told her we will take a look first, somehow she kept on following us, everywhere we go she follow, wow, I just want to take my time to literally take a lo...

My Wife Fell Sick

July 18, 2014

I was sick on Tuesday, I think I spread the virus to her but I have no idea how, I was careful not to share utensils or anything with her but somehow she still got it, now she's complaining of body ache, sore throat, cold, same symptoms as me and unfortunately the clinic at our neighbourhood is not available on Friday nights, so no choice tomorrow morning then I bring her to see the doctor. But I think a lot of people are affected especially with the recent rainy days, must have helped to spread the virus, two people in my office also fell ill, I think during rainy days have to put on mask, virus everywhere.

PR Application Appointment have to Wait Up to 7 Months or More

July 18, 2014

After my wife learned of her successful application, she shared the good news with her fellow Thai friends who are also married here, one of them said she booked the appointment to submit documents but the appointment is 7 months later! I also checked with my colleague who is a Malaysian and he is interested in getting PR, he said his friend have to wait for 8 months just for the appointment! I think too many people applying for PR, first time we applied the appointment is only one month away, nowadays so long, what if you wait 7 months for the appointment and then another 7 months for the outcome and they tell you rejected and you will be damn frustrated, long wait for nothing.

Stay Jobless Until You Land on Your Desired Job?

July 17, 2014

While surfing the net I always come across people who say they have difficulty getting a job in Singapore, I am very doubtful of that, if you look at our jobs bank , or any other job sites, you will see plenty of openings, across all industries, surely there must be one suitable job out there waiting for you, how can it be possible to remain unemployed. Other than job sites, you can also apply directly to the company, or you can just go down to their office personally and make an enquiry. Let me share my story. Lesson 1: Don't waste any time idling When I ORD in 2004, I was only armed with a PSLE, yes, I dropped out at Secondary 2, I was very naughty when I was a student, totally no interest in studies because I have no idea why I was studying, my peers knew they were going to be a doctor, pilot, engineer and whatever, me, I don't know. And that time O-levels was worthless, not to mention a PSLE but I knew I must not waste any time getting a job so I walked into my neighbou...

Wife's PR Application Approved!

July 17, 2014

Wow, what a pleasant surprise when I log in to ICA iEnquiry today, I have been checking almost everyday for the past 8 months, finally today I see "Approved" and not " Pending ", haha. PR Approved! I think it was approved this week but not sure which day because I have not been checking earlier this week as I was quite busy at work, reach home also forget, now we just need to wait for the official approval letter from ICA, should receive it soon. Ahhhh, finally, by the way this was our second try, first time was in 2011 right after election , well you probably can guess why it was rejected, then we tried again in Oct 2013, finally we got it, thanks to whoever approved it, long wait though, Oct 2013 until Jul 2014, about 8-9 months.

Accumulated Daily$ 57.29 with POSB Everyday Card

July 17, 2014

I have been using the card since Apr 2014 and so far accumulated $57.29, I think that's quite a lot of savings, I can offset my credit card bills with that. Most of my savings came from Sheng Siong purchases, they have 5% rebate if I use my card there, damn good deal, I can also get discount for cigarettes and liquor, not bad. Now I'm thinking of get a supplementary card for my wife since she also make purchases there, but I'm afraid she might not control her spending, a little bit worried haha, but I think it will be more convenient, if it's also an ATM then that means I don't have to give her cash, she can just withdraw by herself, hmmmm, got to think about it.

Finally Received My Chin Up Bar from Qoo10

July 15, 2014

I bought on 11 Jul and I received today on 15 Jul, delivery time not so bad, the product is what I expected, but looks a bit like second-hand lol but most important is that it is cheap and serves the purpose, looks doesn't really matter that much to me, only $13.89, cheap and good. Packaging Installation was a bit challenging, forgot how I did it for my previous chin up bar but anyway I got my wife to twist for me while I hold on, got to adjust so it doesn't look crooked. After Installation I think the same bar should be sold at around $20+ if you get it anywhere else, $30+ also have but I find it pointless.

On MC Today

July 15, 2014

Yesterday night was bad, I hardly slept at all, I think it was because I took the Panadol Extra, it contains Caffeine and I think that was why I could not sleep, it's more for day use to keep you awake if you want to continue working, better not eat before sleeping. And because I felt alert, the noise from above my flat is so loud and clear in the middle of the night, especially my neighbour right on top, their aircon is so loud, like the plane engine, theirs is an old aircon, I think at least 7 or 8 years old, the base of the compressor has rusted so badly and their aircon is leaking water onto my compressor, I had hoped that their aircon would break down so they would get a new one, so damn noisy. This morning I went to see the GP at my neighbourhood for the first time, I can use my company healthcare card there so I don't need to pay any cash, I was there at about 8.40am, waited until about 9.20am then the doctor came, and waited another 30 minutes before my turn, I was t...

Scrub Toilet Walls!

July 13, 2014

I just cleaned the walls of my small toilet, looks so much cleaner now but problem is the black stains on the floor is so difficult to remove, I think need to use cif cleaner, but I save it for next week, whole body ache like crazy, damn siong, like just run finish 2.4km. Speaking of 2.4km, there is a track field at my neighbourhood, yesterday I ran 6 rounds which is 2.4km, the air there is fresh, I think it's a good place to run, next week I might try to run 7 rounds.

Bought Kettle and Tiger Brand Thermal Air Pot

July 12, 2014

I have been searching for a good flask to hold hot water, the cheap brands either don't work well or not durable and they are not that cheap, one for almost $20, there are smaller ones for $13 but it's too small, I need something at least 2 liters and finally today I found a good one at OG Chinatown. I bought a Tiger brand thermal air pot which can hold 2.5 litres for $58 and a 5 litres non-electric kettle for $47.90. And OG has all sorts of stuff, if you need to get anything, just go there, they have everything, pans, fryer, spoons, fork, clothing, pillows, mattress, bedsheets and etc.

Bought My First Item from Qoo10

July 11, 2014

My father didn't manage to remove the chin-up bar from my old room, he said it's too tight, I think it's because when I installed it I turned it too hard to make sure it doesn't give way. And now that I think of it, I have been using that bar for almost 10 years, too bad I can't bring it to my new home, but never mind, I have ordered a new one from Qoo10, can't remember how much I paid for my old one but this new one seems to be the cheapest I can find online. The bar itself is only $9.90 (after discounts), delivery is $3.99 so total is $13.89, not bad right. Qoo10 - NEW HEAVY DUTY FITNESS EXERCISE DOORWAY CHIN PULL UP BAR HOME GYM : Sports / Outdoors There are also other fancy looking bars and they only cost a little bit more but to me a chin-up bar is just for exercise, whack and move on, no need to look cool or what and I'm doing it at home so who cares, just get the cheapest will do as long as it serves my purpose, anyway a chrome one also loo...

Wife's PR is Still Pending

July 11, 2014

From October last year until now is about 8 months, I wonder when we can get the result, how come they need so long to determine whether my wife can get PR or not, or maybe too many people applying for PR, so much that they are overloaded. But actually when I think about it, it doesn't really make a hell lot of difference whether she is on PR or LTVP+, yeah with PR see doctor will be cheaper, can get rebate for HDB, much easier to find work, renew every 5 years, what else, all these are not going to make a hell lot of difference because it's just too expensive to live in Singapore, and so stressful here. I am dreaming of one day when I can rent out my flat, have some dividends from stocks, some income from this blog, and then I go live in Thailand at my wife's house, I will do some farming for income, but mainly to keep myself active, or probably teach people computing if there is a demand, and then take my own sweet time to enjoy life, go tour the countryside, everyday...

Going to Receive My First Adsense Cheque!

July 11, 2014

I have been running this blog since Feb 2011, finally I'm going to receive my first cheque, but it's not strange that it took me so long because if you look at my blog archive, you will see that I started posting regularly only in 2013, and it's only in that year that my earnings started to increase tremendously, so more posts obviously will bring in more visitors for me and I also have to thank my visitors for supporting me regardless of whether they are spammers or genuine visitors haha. Initially I thought I would only get my first cheque at the end of this year but I got more visitors in recent months so it really helps with the earnings, I think at current rate, I can probably get one cheque every 8 to 9 months, by the way Google will send out a cheque when my earnings hit $100 USD, so it's around that amount every time they send, not a big amount but better than nothing and I will keep the money for investment.

Germany Destroyed Brazil 7-1

July 10, 2014

Totally unbelievable, lost in home ground and got thrashed, that's ridiculous, as ridiculous as how they lost to France in 1998, they had a really strong team and they still lost to France, but France had Zidane so that probably was the reason. This year Brazil really sucked, that's why I don't watch football much these days, all the really good players retired and the new players are lackluster, yeah Brazil had Neymar but compared to the greats, he is quite insignificant, greats as in Ronaldo, Carlos, Romario, Bebeto, Ronaldinho, those are truly greats, I wonder if Brazil will ever have players of those standard again.

Father's Friend Haven't Collect Money from Me

July 10, 2014

Renovation completed but never ask me for payment haha, my father asked him how much he refuse to say, do have to chase him, pay money also have to chase him lol. Anyway I prepared $2000 for the whole thing, my father say probably around $1500, any amount left I give my father for his help with doing up the kitchen cabinet. He also built a small cupboard for my rubbish chute to conceal it, can put things on top and there's two doors, one is for the rubbish chute another is to keep stuff, maybe can put the detergent i.e. the chemical stuff there. I also asked him to build another cupboard, maybe a bigger one so I can put beside my fridge in the living room, can put rice cooker, electric kettle, glasses and jug of plain water there. My father say he can always build the wood stuff for me because his factory has plenty of materials not in use, usually buy already but never use or do already customer don't want to pay so it just sits there. Like that I can save a lot of money, if...

DBS Rejected My Recurring Bill Request

July 09, 2014

Reason given is amendment not countersigned, I don't remember amending anything, or maybe someone tampered with the application form? Good that they check, what if someone changed the account to their account and I pay for them every month, nowadays many thieves and scammers, these people really scum of the earth, have hands and legs don't want to work. Then these few days I saw the uncle again at my workplace, seems like he is living around there or something, why can't he just find a job? Really so difficult? Is it better or just easier to ask for things instead of working for it? Sometimes I really don't get it, some people say cannot find job, but there are so many job vacancies, what are they talking about?

Forgot to Switch Off Aircon at Power Socket!

July 08, 2014

If the power is not switched off at the power socket, the aircon will still continue to draw power because it is in standby mode, waiting for your instruction from the remote control to start running again. This is not limited to aircon, any electrical device is the same, so must always switch off at the socket to fully cut it off. I always switch it off, my computer, my handphone charger, everything, but sometimes I forget, I think once or twice is okay, won't make a lot of difference, best is still make it a habit so I can save money and burn less energy.

EZ-Link Top Up Surcharge

July 08, 2014

Source Now if I top up using my ATM card, there is a $0.20 charge, but if I use their machines such as the general ticking machine then it's still free, I think from now on I will withdraw cash and then use their machine to top up, I know there is a ATM card only machine but I can't use that because my ez-link and atm is the same card, it doesn't work there. Nowadays the prices of necessities keep going up, just a few months back they increased the public transport fees, now ez-link starts charging for top up, later public transport fees going to increase again, fortunately my salary still can keep up but I really don't know in the future, nobody knows but of course the government won't let us die, the worry is still there.

Ordered Gas for Cooking

July 07, 2014

My father say to use the Union brand because it's more worth it, so today they came to install for me, total cost was $107! But only for first time la, $20 for deposit, $45 for the head, $32 for the gas cylinder and $10 for the pipe. The guy also gave me a food coupon, no idea where to use it, can't find anything online, maybe only just launch, the valid date starts from 01 Jul 2014 to next year Jun, $4 food coupon, I think maybe can use at food centre but the coupon never say where, next time the gas guy come I ask him. And so today we ate our first home-cooked dinner! Feels great ;)

Finally Can Sit Back and Relax

July 06, 2014

Spent the whole morning washing the floor, it was faster than I thought and we managed to get it done before 12pm, took our lunch and then went to buy some household stuff, TV antenna, carpet, dust pan, 3 pin plugs and etc. And then I setup my computer and the Starhub TV, arranged the dining table and fridge, now everything is set, feels like home! Now let me sit back and enjoy the aircon and watch a movie ;), ahhhhhh.

Back Breaking Day

July 05, 2014

I spent the whole day finishing up with the painting, I can't say it's 100% complete but I'm just too damn tired to continue, some spots that are not so obvious I don't bother anymore, most important is the overall feel is okay which I think we have reached that level. So tomorrow we can finally commence with the washing of living room and kitchen, once that is done, the house will then be comfortable. And today my father came to install the stove, tomorrow can order the gas, finally can cook, everyday eat out also sian, get my wife to cook me hash brown, eggs and hot dogs, oh today we went to eat at IKEA, morning is the best time to go because it's not so crowded, their breakfast was really good, they have a very different system to get the food, no need to order, just queue up, grab whatever you like and put on my trolley and pay at the end of the food line, anyway I grabbed the french toast with hot dog and baked beans, croissant with tuna, shrimp sandwich, 2 p...

Renovation Mostly Done

July 04, 2014

Today my father came and installed the top part of the cabinet, the whole set looks really nice, he did it alone though, his friend supposed to help him but maybe busy and didn't come, anyway now left the shielding for the middle part, just need to put a smooth surface wood so that water won't splash on the wall. His friend still didn't come to clear the leftover flooring materials, think he will come tomorrow but not sure what time, if can clear tomorrow then I can put my fridge and dining table outside, now I have an idea of the living room layout, just need the space to try it out. Because my living room is the long type, I intend to put the fridge by the wall, next I put the dining table then sofa facing the TV, the TV back will face the window, then just nice, have a pathway from door to kitchen, swee! By the way the tempered glass dining table I intend to put outside, don't really like it as my computer desk, looks good but problem is a bit too big and bottom ...
