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 embarrassing.

My current project manager is also very kind, today we went for lunch at a really nice restaurant, it was a farewell lunch for an intern, came up to $400+, it was supposed to be split among the team members but he excluded me, citing that I haven't get my salary yet, I told him never mind just include me, but I think in the end he didn't include, actually I don't mind paying but I appreciate his kind gesture, anyway many chance for me to treat him back so I don't worry about it.

I think it is a very good change for me, new job new people new environment, good thing I met this nice bunch of people, also find that they are not the calculative type, go for lunch one person will pay first and the rest pay back later, never worry about not paying back, the person paying don't even chase for it, because the trust is there, my previous team lacked this camaraderie, really sad.

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 ...
