Doesn't Seem to be Getting Better

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/singapore-detects-26-new-covid-19-cases-3-unlinked-081534535.html In general feels like more or less the same, still have lingering cases out there waiting to be discovered. I notice less people going out but more cyclists, I wonder if cycling will somehow catch the virus or not, I mean they are not wearing mask when cycling, or maybe unless some infected person sneeze or cough and then they happen to cycle through. Anyway still safer to stay home, but weather getting hot these days, gets sweaty fast but good thing there is always the air-con, no wonder I see so many people go to Sheng Siong to walk, but many weirdos these days, knowing the virus is spreading but still stand so close together, also stay away from weirdos to be safe.

18 Unlinked Covid Cases on 16 May 2021

https://www.moh.gov.sg/news-highlights/details/38-new-cases-of-locally-transmitted-covid-19-infection16may The unlinked cases seems to be getting higher, this is getting to be seriously worrying. An unlinked case means they cannot trace back to the person who spread it to the unlinked case. The person who spread to the unlinked case may not even know he/she is infectious i.e. asymptomatic case. It can be even worse if these people who have the virus goes on to spread to family, friends, co-workers, so good thing the government realise this and put a stop to this by heightening the measures, otherwise game over, we become the next India. I think to be safe, everybody should just stay home where possible, can work from home just work from home, can school from home also school from home, now dangerous thing is we don't know how widespread, especially when today is the day of heightened measure we still have morons refusing to wear mask or continue to gather in groups of more than 2, ...

Ordered a 钓鱼英雄 Toy for Baby

Image
She saw this toy at a shop and took a photo, managed to find the exact one at Lazada, it's shipping from Taobao China, so probably going to take a while to receive. Total price is S$$20.39 including the delivery fee. My wife say the same toy is selling for S$30++ in Singapore, quite a difference if buy online. This is the link if you are interested:  https://www.lazada.sg/products/i1655986242-s7817824432.html

"Very Virulent" Variant of COVID-19 is Here? Now Then You Know

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/virulent-mutant-virus-changi-airport-defences-ong-ye-kung-062454364.html https://www.tnp.sg/news/singapore/p1-pupil-yio-chu-kang-school-tests-positive-covid Seems like getting worse, unlinked cases going up, and now government announced a phase 1 kind of alert, meaning default is work from home now, cannot eat out and etc, starting from 16 May to 13 Jun, but I don't quite understand why, because if they know it is serious enough to rollback, why not start immediately, I mean it already spread to mainstream schools, why give it chance to go further. I find that our government react too slowly, not decisive enough, wait too long to take action, when India started to have that massive outbreak in early April, we should have barred travelers from India immediately, see now getting worse, typical civil servants, you see me I see you wait for miracle to happen, try to solve one problem end up creating another problem, now going back to lockdown. Fed up.

Paramjeet Kaur - Sovereign Not a Person?

Image
https://sg.news.yahoo.com/jailed-sovereign-woman-breached-covid-19-regulations-101208206.html She then argues with a person off-screen, claiming, "I am a sovereign. This is something people are not going to know even what it is…It means I have nothing to do with the police…They have no say." A voice can be heard saying, "That does not even make any sense. If you are a person in Singapore, you have to follow the rules in Singapore." Kaur then replied, "I'm not a person." If she is not a person, then how come the news article still refer her as "woman", should be "it" right? So since she say she is not a person, so from here on I will refer her as "it" then. So "it" is a Singaporean, how did "it" get our citizenship since "it" is not a person? Let me see, "it" wants to enjoy the benefits of Singapore, but "it" don't want to follow our laws, and "its" argument is...

SPH Suddenly So Jia Lat

https://mothership.sg/2021/05/sph-ceo-apologises Last time their share price from S$3-S$4 now become S$1.52 as of 7th May 2021, that time thinking of buying but end up didn't buy, forgot why I didn't buy, but I notice their online straitstimes.com kind of desperate, asking for subscription fees when I can find the same news everywhere else. I ended up buying SingPost which is not any better, similar to SPH it also tank like shit, last Friday I finally sold off at S$0.73, made quite a loss (-S$17,583.31). Held on since 2017, thought it would improve, who knows it just keeps getting worse, recent financial announcement is bad, real bad, dividend shrink too, well at least I support for 4 years already. I remember one nice guy asked me to cut loss but I didn't, oh well. Singtel and StarHub also chui now, last time played a bit, earned a little by buying and selling fast. But whatever earnings I had all give back through SingPost already hahaha. SPH, SingPost, Singtel and Starhu...

Singapore Passport Change to 10 Years

https://www.todayonline.com/singapore/singapore-passport-validity-increase-10-years-applications-october Nice, somehow every 5 years feel like I got older, but then every 10 years probably will feel even worse, anyway the point is it will be less troublesome, no need to renew every 5 years. It will start from 1st Oct 2021, so if you want to renew passport, might as well wait after that, anyway most people will probably not be going anywhere this year, if you do have to go out of Singapore, then it will be at your own risk so make your own assessment carefully, think again, and again. And the application fee is the same, still S$70, cool, strangely ICA didn't take this opportunity to increase price, they could probably just increase to S$100 and people will be lan lan anyway. Speaking of going somewhere, damn bloody long never go Thailand, wish I could go Phuket or something, but then with the Covid not getting better, recently actually got worse, I think I will probably just stay p...

India Covid Getting More Jia Lat

Image
https://sg.news.yahoo.com/india-posts-record-daily-rise-040455271.html If the trend continues, I think they will become number one soon, I mean everyday new cases are in the hundreds of thousands. Looking at this video, not surprising how it got so much worse, really shake head. If I'm not wrong, I think BTO might get further delayed, many construction workers are from India after all, those already here, they should definitely just stay put, they go back later kena infected. Those who want to come here, better don't let them come, if really have to come, make sure they quarantine longer. But the scary part is the mutated strain of the virus, not sure if those already vaccinated will be protected or not. Jia lat, sigh, I think this year will not get any better, can start to look forward to next year lol.

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. LTVP applications submitted from 01 Feb 2012 will automatically be considered for LTVP+. The first approved LTVP+ will grant 3 years residency and subsequent renewal will be 5 years. 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 ...
