Richest Man in the World - Elon Musk

According to Forbes, this guy ranks number 1 as of now, worth $183.8 Billion USD, previously I think he was in top 10 but not number 1, suddenly become number 1, how I know is because my colleague told me today so I was quite surprised, I thought he was just selling autonomous cars or something.

Right behind is Jeff Bezos of Amazon, $182.4 Billion USD, that's $1.4 Billion behind the number 1.

I can't even imagine having $1 Billion USD, according to google it is $1,325,820,000.00 Singapore Dollar, that's around 18,542 years of my current salary plus bonus.

I think wealth is such a weird thing, there are the super duper rich, then there are the super duper poor, it's just weird that money is able to define people's life. Then sometimes I feel that I'm just working to make money to pay bills, an endless cycle, and now that I have a family, feels like I'm stuck in this endless cycle, sounds kind of depressing lol.

Feel like trying out something different, at least I will definitely encourage my daughter not to be like me, I want her to do things that she likes to do, not just because of having to make money to pay bills. But I think kids nowadays have a much better life, have ipad, can learn a lot of things online, when I was a kid I didn't really have much to play, only go downstairs and play at the "see saw", play "catching", now you see YouTube have so many kids show to watch, really different life.

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+.

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.

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
