Regarding Courts Refund

https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2023/03/aircon-replacement-complete.html Thought I should share this since people might not be aware (I'm not aware lol). I bought an aircon from Courts, they installed it early this month, end up no need steel bracket but I already paid for it via credit card. Tried calling Courts at 1800 222 6868, quite hard to get through, when I finally did, a lady picked up, told her the story, she said she will process the refund and Courts will credit back into my card in 10-14 days. I waited more than 14 days and still don't see the refund, so I went down directly to the Courts where I purchased the aircon, surprisingly the staff said there is no record of the refund, so the staff helped to process the refund but unfortunately he can't initiate because nobody at somewhere to process (he mentioned have to post something back), I guess it's the warehouse or something, it's a Saturday by the way. He took a photocopy of my invoice, sai...

Today Tried Li Yuan Mee Pok

Saw an offer on Foodpanda and decided to try, and very glad I did. They have a few variety of Mee Pok (or rather Bak Chor Mee), I ordered the Shoyu Mee Pok and Mushroom Minced Meat Noodle, both are very nice but personally I find the Shoyu one is a bit heavier on taste, I think I like the normal one more. Wife also like, it reminds her of the dumpling noodle back in Khao San Road. They probably improved on our local Bak Chor Mee, I bet the founder went to many stalls to try. Their noodle is cooked just nice, the pork just normal stuff, but the pork ball a bit special, have tiny chewy bits, sort of enhance the flavour, the sauce is just right, some other stalls add too much vinegar but this one is just nice, then lots of crispy bits at the bottom, soup is nice too, overall very well balanced and satisfying. This is easily one of the best I have tried, but I think Bak Chor Mee is an extremely competitive dish in Singapore, many good ones, hard to rank, another one I like is the Bedok...

YouTube Loaded with Scammers and Fake Gurus

Image
Recently I find that YouTube ads are getting longer and more frequent, the most bloody annoying ones are those that slide in a scam video or some fake gurus desperately trying to CONvince people to buy their useless course. I guess if people can't take it they can sign up for YouTube Premium, but I'm not going to pay a single cent, there's no added value, it just gets rid of the ads, at most I just spam F5 until the ads go away. I think Google is desperate for money, totally lost their direction and turned into a money-grabbing machine. When they lost the AI war, I really laughed out loud, these A-holes deserved it. I think they lost creativity, won't be surprised if they collapse within the next 5 years. See these two stupid asses from "Next Level Academy", if their course so tok gong, they no need to be so desperate and keep spamming ads on YouTube to CONvince people. Good things no need to try so desperately to sell, it will sell itself, only useless shitty...

Vaper or Vapist in Singapore

https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/more-caught-using-vaporisers-in-2022-hsa Vaping is getting very popular and common here in Singapore even though it is still illegal,  I think there is a fine but no jail. I see it quite often at smoking areas or sometimes when they walk, they just vape and put it back in their pocket. Personally I see vaping the same as smoking, I'm a smoker by the way but I don't vape, vape also don't have that smoke smell, you know after you smoke you walk into a room everybody will know you smoked but vaping don't have this problem, they even have all the funky flavours like lychee, skittles and whatnot. Some of my colleagues also vape, when I asked where they got it from, they always say they got it from a friend's friend, main reason why they vape is because it is cheaper than buying cigarettes. Health-wise don't know man, some articles say smoking more harmful, some say vaping more harmful, I guess in the end it all comes down to pri...

Aircon Replacement Complete

Image
https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2023/02/bought-daikin-single-split-rkm25pvmg.html Today the aircon contractor came to do the replacement, came around 12:45pm, finished everything around 2:20pm, less than 2 hours. They removed the old units, put in the new units, replaced the pipes, cleaned up, so fast. 3 guys came, fast hands fast legs and very polite. End up they didn't need to install new steel bracket because I can reuse my existing one, they called their office and their office say to call Courts, so I called Courts and managed to get a refund, asked me if I paid by credit card I said yes, so they will refund to my card in 10-14 days. S$1249 - S$140 = S$1109 for aircon. Ahh, finally tonight can enjoy some cool air, maybe this month going to get hot so timing is just nice.

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 ...
