Bought New Kitchen and Kitchen Table (sort of)

Image
So yesterday had a body-aching-day, today not any better. Went to IKEA and bought SUNNERSTA kitchen (S$223) and FLYTTA kitchen trolley (S$249) which is actually our kitchen table. The SUNNERSTA has two versions, one is rack + sink, the other is rack + sink + water tap + pipe, I bought the latter. The assembly of the FLYTTA (S$249) was alright, only tool that they didn't provide is a large cross screw driver, other than that everything else was quite straightforward. Love this trolley-table, I think everybody should just get trolley-tables, so convenient. The assembly of the SUNNERSTA is seriously wtf, other than a large cross screw driver, also need a pipe cutter, wife went to buy a small hand saw just for this, S$7+. Don't understand why they didn't just pre-cut it, and they didn't say anything about how much to cut, only a picture to give a super rough idea. And the part (2 piece push together) that attach from the back of the sink to the bottom of the sink, geez spe

Dismantled Lower Cabinet, Replaced Burst Water Pipe

Today my wife keep nagging me about the kitchen sink (been nagging for a long time, geez), it has been leaking since forever, waiting for my father to fix but I think he is busy so don't want to keep chasing him, I know right, I don't like it when people keep chasing me. So I thought it's time I took things into my own hands. I personally dismantled the lower cabinet, wasn't as bad as I thought because the cabinet was wet throughout so it was easy to break apart, it's all just hard labour, damn tiring, breaking it down, carry it downstairs to throw, clean up, phew. The result is an empty space, the wall looks super disgusting so I won't post any picture, have already washed but can't get rid of the stains, so we will probably just paint over it. We are thinking maybe can get a SUNNERSTA from IKEA, and a small table, so tomorrow will drop by IKEA to take a look. Then when I thought one thing settled, the shower water pipe burst, like wtf man. I went online an

Damn Super Busy Recently

Now getting more and more busy, most weekends also have to go back to office, damn tired, so fast getting to the end of the year, phew, time flies. Hopefully this month can launch the project, so maybe will slow down the pace a bit, hopefully, but realistically I don't think it will slow down much because new system usually start with many problems, we can only try to minimise the risk, can't be perfect or wait for stars to align, there's a saying, keep the ball rolling. I think I will be stuck in this current project for at least a few more months, but doesn't matter to me as long as the pay is good, it is pretty good, hopefully next year bonus will be good too. Anyway good luck to all and stay safe!

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
