Went to Singapore Zoo and Night Safari

Image
Today we went to the zoo and we applied for the Friends of Wildlife membership, one person $119 for a total of $238, baby no need to pay since she is under 3 years old. By the way can apply onsite, can get the membership card immediately, can pay by credit card. I think the membership is very worth it, it grants unlimited entry to the 4 parks (zoo, river and night safari, and bird park) for one year, and it also entitles us to 10% discount at most of the shops, so far only one that we visited didn't have discount, it was the one in Night Safari where we bought our shot glasses. This is what I spent today, excluding taxi fares to and fro and the membership application fees: Item Original Price 10% discount Paid Ice kachang $6.50 Yes $5.85 Sour candy $3.80 No $3.80 Shot glass 1 $8.50 No $8.50 Shot glass 2 $7.90 No $7.90 Gelato 3 scoups $13.90 Yes $12.51 Safari sling $6.90 Yes $6.21 Nasi lemak $9.90 Yes $16.92 Laksa $8.90 Yes Oreo wafer $3.80 Yes $10.53 Fan...

My Smartphone Data Usage Until Now

Image
So I bought my smartphone on 16 Apr 2016, and only started using since 18 Apr , right now this is what my data usage looks like: Used 135 MB I am on Starhub 4G 3 plan (postpaid) which comes with 3GB of data, my friends told me 3 GB is more than enough, it is so true, I leave my data on 24/7, surf net, whatsapp, even watch videos, utilization is less than 5% lol, maybe should start using my phone as a hotspot at work since my workplace internet is shit, why let it go to waste ;) Same goes for my wife, she is also on the same plan, the highest she can hit in a month is 1GB, also wasted, now I tell her to just leave her data on, no need to off and on, she is afraid that she might overuse, she has the My Data Mgr app which will alert her when usage reach 90% so really no need to worry.

Tried Nene Chicken for the First Time

Image
I saw it on foodpanda for quite a while now but today I decided to give it a try, I was holding back because I'm not really a fan of Korean products, dramas, idols or even chicken, ok I like Gangnam style and that's about it. And their chicken always look like those American buffalo wings where they drown it in all sorts of sauces which I don't like and it's very oily even with all that sauces. End up this Nene chicken is not oily at all but it's very juicy and it has a special aroma, probably their secret ingredient, and most importantly they give an option to separate the sauce. The box Packing Sauces I choose their Swicy and Honey mustard dip sauces, I bought the 18 wings and sticks so I get to choose two sauces, and two starters which are coleslaw and corn salad. The starters are very basic, I think KFC and Popeyes offer better coleslaw, as for the corn salad, it's just corn with mayo, nothing special. I didn't try the Swicy sauce but ...

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 ...
