Submitted My Utilities Meter Readings

Image
Last month saw my electricity bill suddenly so much higher than usual, thanks to one visitor for pointing out that it's due to estimation which results in less consistent billing, so I decided to take the readings myself for this month. So electricity Sep 1475 minus Aug 1200 is 275. Last month was 361. As for water is Sep 428.9 minus Aug 418.4 is 10.5. Last month was 10.7. Now this month looks more normal, I guess I'll be taking the readings myself, actually it's super easy to do it, especially using the "SP Utilities" app, instructions very clear.

Forgot to Switch Off Aircon at Power Socket!

If the power is not switched off at the power socket, the aircon will still continue to draw power because it is in standby mode, waiting for your instruction from the remote control to start running again. This is not limited to aircon, any electrical device is the same, so must always switch off at the socket to fully cut it off. I always switch it off, my computer, my handphone charger, everything, but sometimes I forget, I think once or twice is okay, won't make a lot of difference, best is still make it a habit so I can save money and burn less energy.

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 ...
