Tried NETS Click on Comfort Taxi App

Finally Comfort provide this convenient payment service, just need to setup on the app which is pretty straightforward to do, and then set it as the default payment type. So how it works is you book the taxi as per normal on the app, since NETS Click is the default payment so don't need to do anything else. After the trip, just stylishly alight like how you alight from any grab taxi and the service will auto-deduct directly from your bank account. Note that even though the setup is to the card which may be a credit card (mine is a credit card), it actually is a direct debit service. Oh by the way, happy lunar new year!

Super Busy Recently

Now rushing to finish a project, everything feels compressed, so not much time or energy to post, plus baby start school this year so feels like so many stuff going on. Anyway this year bonus is alright, 1.5 months, pretty standard I guess, increment is unexpectedly good though, 8.48%, way better than last job. Out of nowhere also have a retention bonus which according to my boss is only given to a handful of people, which means if I stay on, mid of this year will get this special bonus, next year will also get it. To be honest I was thinking of leaving after getting bonus but the package seems pretty good to miss so I think I am staying for a while more, I'm glad that that this company knows how to recognise and reward people who put in effort unlike my previous company where the reward didn't justify my responsibilities. So there is a lesson here, if you want people to work hard for you, please be sure to treat them well, even in times of crisis, these people will go al

First Day of K1

Today baby started her first day of school in K1, she seems to like it, never cry or anything, in fact she quite hurriedly went into the school so she can start the lesson. I think it is a good thing that she embraces education, hope she can keep this eagerness all the way to university and beyond. Since yesterday is the start of the strict enforcement of e-scooter, today we took bus instead, it's not that bad actually, just have to wake up earlier and get to the bus stop on time. Oh by the way, my daughter is morning session only, 8am to 12pm, no lunch but there is breakfast, saw the teacher giving out some bread, so actually no need to prepare breakfast for her.

Long-Term Visit Pass - Plus (LTVP-PLUS)

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

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 fo
