This morning I went to the airport with my wife because it's that day of the year again, when she will return home to visit her family, and eat all her favourite food, papaya salad, fried ants, yeah. According to a neighbour in her home town, those are the top two delicacies of northern Thailand. The first one is arguably okay for me, but I just can't bring myself to try the last dish. And so we were well aware that her checked luggage was over the 25KG allowance that we purchased during booking, and it's a total of 7KG over the limit, and we just wanted to try our luck and see if we could get through without paying, but before I continue, I just want to emphasize that the point of this post is not to get anyone into trouble. The lady at the counter told us to put our checked luggage on the weighing machine and the overweight came at no surprise. She told us there would be a charge of 20 Singapore dollars for each extra KG over the allowance and the tot...

When me and my wife were discussing whether she would like to go Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang airport... Me: So you want SU VAARR NUB HU MI (slowly read out loud) airport? Wife: (laughs) SU WARR NA POOM. Me: Why POOM? Wife: Thais say SU WARR  NA POOM. Me: Ok... Now I know why that taxi driver in Bangkok gave me that weird look when I told him to go SU VAARR NUB HU MI, and why my wife chuckled in a corner...

Yesterday I bought a Tiger Airways ticket for my wife, flying from Thailand to Singapore and at the payment section, I noticed that there is an option to pay in Singapore dollars; usually when I buy from Thailand to Singapore, I pay in Thai Baht and then my bank will do the conversion and charge me in Singapore dollars. Tiger Converts 2615 Thai Baht to 108.18 Singapore dollars So I did a quick search on Google using 2615 thb to sgd  and the result is about 103 Singapore dollars. Obviously I should continue to pay in Thai Baht, so I did and here's what my bank statement shows: Bank Tentatively Charges Me 102.90 Singapore dollars But do note that 102.90 is not confirm as it's still pending settlement. When the bank finally charges, they will use as of that day's conversion value, so the final amount that they charge could be slightly higher or lower, but I'm sure it will still be much lower than what Tiger Airways is charging. So make sure you do a qui...

As you will know by now, some budget airlines will be relocated to the old Bangkok airport i.e. Don Mueang International Airport. When buying ticket, bet you will wonder which airline fly to which airport. No worries, I'm sure you've seen the code BKK, and you probably know BKK means Bangkok, you are quite right. BKK is also a 3 character airport code, see here , BKK = Suvarnabhumi Airport (New Bangkok International Airport) So what about Don Mueang? See here , DMK = Don Mueang International Airport So make sure you know where you are going before you buy that ticket! Anyway, they are not incredibly far apart, check this out.

Singapore Minister Chan Chun Sing Then what is a leader's job? If we give answers, will the government listen? And if we are supposed to give the answers, then vote you in for what? We pay tax for your salary for what? Shocked, disappointed and disgusted.

You can choose to pay either referencing TAX REF NO. or PYMT VOUCHER NO., For TAX REF NO., actually it's your NRIC, For PYMT VOUCHER NO. (you have to get this number from mytax.iras.gov.sg), For my case, took two days for mytax.iras.gov.sg Account Summary to be updated. Very convenient.

It depends on how one defines rich, but by my standard, I can't get rich by playing Diablo 3. I have been playing since launch on 15 May but I'm no hardcore player. I played for a total of about 300 hours from all my characters combined, farmed up quite a bit of items to sell on the RMAH but as you can see here , I'm not earning much. Over the course of 20 days of selling, I made 191.56 Singapore Dollars (less 6 SGD; 2x$3 refunds for confirming paypal account info), which works out to about $9.55 per day. It's not much because my job actually pays me way more than that. For a entertainment product, I think I got more than what I paid for. Just want to say this, just play this game as a game, don't play it for the sake of making money, the amount of time invested just doesn't make any sense. As I have always said to in-game players, good luck and have fun!

In the middle of a river, the water still. Where is this place, no one knows. Resting on the boat, she looks at him. Her skin is fair, and her lips are red. She smiles faintly, and she seems happy. Who is the man with her, just who is he...

There was a little boy who loved playing games so much that whenever his friends have a new game, he would run to them and join in. He would play card games, he would play board games, he would play video games, and he would play any games all day long. One day he said to himself, “I’m going to become a game maker when I grow up and make the funnest games ever!” but he’s not sure how he can become a game maker and he asked the richest kid he knew, and so he asked Jim, “How do i become a game maker?” and Jim said, “My dad buys me all the games I want, I don’t need to know that.” The little boy didn’t get the the answer that he needed and he asked the smartest kid he knew, and so he asked Eddy, “How do i become a game maker?” and Eddy said, “My dad buys me a new game whenever I do well in school, I don’t need to know that.” Again, he didn’t get the answer that he needed and he asked everyone that he knew but no one gave him the answer, and so, he stopped asking. Many years late...
