Day 4 at New Job

Today is my 4th day at the new job, so far so good, colleagues have been very kind and helpful, especially the guy assigned to be my mentor to show me how things work at the site, he explained to me progressively so it was easy to understand, but I guess my prior experience also helps a lot so not too difficult for me to digest. Comparing to my previous company, I think this new company feels more organised, for example who is responsible for what is very clear, unlike my previous company where I have to work in multiple roles at the same time, and my previous company was only paying me one man's salary, and it is lower than my current salary. And also I find the new team to be very proficient in what they are doing, and also very proactive, so I'm quite impressed, unlike my previous team people were confused, or you waiting for me I waiting for you, or don't know how to do act blur keep quiet, it was pathetic, I mean for professionals to behave in such manner is just e...

Day 1 at New Job

Today I started my new job, wanted to make a good impression by reaching early so I woke up at 6:30 AM and left my house at around 7:15 AM, but ended up reaching too damn early. Supposed to start at 9 AM but I reached there at around 7:50 AM, the direct bus was much faster than I planned, Google map forecast was 40 mins, but actually took around 24 mins. But good to be early than late, at least now I have a good idea of the morning traffic to work. So first half of the day was just the usual admin stuff, collect laptop, access card, submit some forms, met up with project director, project manager and team members, everybody was very nice, noticed majority are locals unlike my previous company mostly foreigners. Good thing about working with locals is very easy to connect, don't feel strange at all, especially guys, immediately can tell served NS before, you know la NS guys very easy to click. Then second half of the day went to project site, they show me how to do timesheet, pr...

Joseph Schooling Wins Gold in Asian Games 2018!

This boy have talent and he is definitely my national hero because he won our very first Olympic gold medal in Rio 2016, that was a historical moment for me because I always presumed that Singapore will never ever win an Olympic gold and he proved me wrong. And now he won another gold medal in the Jakarta Asian Games, really super power man, I think he will go on to have stellar achievements in the coming Tokyo games, and MINDEF better don't go and bother him and let him train in peace. Personally I think there is no need for him to serve his NS, with his achievements he already served the country exceptionally well, that Rio gold medal is the best possible outcome in terms of sports, in all of Singapore's Olympics participation, nothing else will ever come close, and he will go down in history books as Singapore's first Olympic gold medalist. But unfortunately the Enlistment Act says that NS is basically service in the armed forces (SAF), or other such forces, body o...

Usana Scam or Really So Good?

Image
My mother is selling the Usana brand of products, say until very incredible, for example someone with leg pain after eating no longer have leg pain. Then say can help with gout, help with back pain, cleanse the body and etc, sounds like magic lol. Since I have lower back pain on and off (recently getting a bit worse), I decided to give it a try, she say it will help, and it's not that expensive anyway, two bottles for $70, one bottle is fish oil, the other is calcium. The ingredients looks just like any other supplements, nothing special. Just now after lunch consumed one capsule of the calcium and one capsule of the fish oil, and a while ago consumed another calcium, so far no miraculous effect yet but my lower back seems to feel better, hope it's not placebo effect, have to monitor for at least one week. To be honest I don't really believe so good but since my mother is selling and she is quite persistent, just support a bit lor, but if really can solve my back prob...

Wow, My One and Only SingPost Lost $8484.10

Looks like it is performing really badly, paper loss of $8484.10 lol, and my all time earnings totally gone. All Time Performance Cost 38,124.641 Market Value 32,517.09 Gain -5,607.55 (14.71%) Current Performance Cost 41,001.191 Market Value 32,517.09 Gain -8,484.10 (20.69%) So now if have money maybe can put into my DBS Multiplier Account instead, maybe half save another half average down on SingPost, 500 shares at a time, because I like the idea that they try to step out of their comfort zone and move into e-commerce. I must be crazy lol.

Chipped Tooth Feels Ok Now

In April this year, my top left second molar chipped off during sleep, good thing I never went for the crowning because now it feels normal already, no more sensitivity or pain. Now overall my teeth also not so sensitive because that time the dentist cleaned my teeth, didn't know dirty teeth can also cause sensitivity, so it's good to go for cleaning at least once a year just to get rid of teeth sensitivity. But first 1-2 months the chipped tooth will feel pain and sensitivity on and off, by the 3rd month mostly gone, now coming 4 months totally normal. If that time do crowning and teeth guard will probably spend $1250 at least, saved that money. Also part of crowning the dentist need to trim the tooth, online sources say it will weaken the structure of the tooth, I think in olden days when dentistry was not as advanced or accessible, when people chip their tooth they probably also leave it to heal by itself. I believe the pain and sensitivity comes from the gums around th...

British Pork Chops Slapped Bali Immigration Officer

Image
Source This pork chops named "Auj-e Taqaddas" slapped a Bali immigration officer after she was stopped from boarding a flight to Singapore, I hope she gets jailed and never enter our country, just throw her into the sea will do, don't waste jail space or food, she looks overfed anyway. She overstayed in Bali, was barred from boarding the flight, probably also refusing to pay her fines for overstaying, and then she slapped a uniformed officer, how did this animal run loose in the first place, plus she doesn't even sound British, probably some trash migrant like that Amos Yee, but good thing that Amos is America's problem now, good riddance. I'm posting her photos here so she can be eternally famous on internet. Auj-e Taqaddas The Pork Chops

http://www.ica.gov.sg/news_details.aspx?nid=12665 Good news for those of us who cannot get PR for our beloved spouse, because the Singapore government has come up with a enhanced long-term visit pass called LTVP-PLUS or LTVP+. I'll sum up the key points in the FAQ provided by ICA so you don't have to go through one big page. Do let me know if I missed out anything or correction is required by dropping a comment. GENERAL LTVP+ will be in effect from 01 Apr 2012. LTVP+ holders will enjoy extended duration of residency, public healthcare subsidies and easier access to employment. No separate application required for LTVP+; an application for LTVP will automatically include your spouse for LTVP+, if eligible.

Current holders of LTVP will be considered for LTVP+ on next renewal. If holde...

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 ...
