Nene Chicken for Dinner

Image
Ordered the whole chicken just to see the difference from the wings and sticks, it's just different chicken parts, but seems to be more filling. I prefer wings and sticks, different chicken parts some quite tough and oily.

Bangkok Street Food Scene Taking a Hit

Source Just now read the news quite sad, one of the charms of Bangkok is the vibrant street food scene, if they take it away then it will be very different. According to the article, they target to take hawkers off the streets by the end of this year, only hawkers at Chinatown and Khao San will be allowed to continue to operate. That means next year if I go to Bangkok, it will look very different, no more fried chicken wings under the bridge, or hawkers outside 7/11 stores, or those cheap clothes near the Paragon shopping mall. But good thing only affects Bangkok, if go to other province most probably still have, don't think they can totally take it away.

Rash on Baby Body

Image
The day before she had an outbreak of rash on her body, looks like chicken pox, I think it's because of her chicken pox vaccination last week, the day before she left for Thailand. Yesterday and today whatsapp see her seems to have recovered, read online that kids who had the chicken pox vaccine may have outbreak of rash that looks like chicken pox, scared me a bit when I saw the photo sent by wife, thought she ate something wrong or maybe it's heat rash. So far baby seems to be doing well there, but I think the weather there should be super hot, now here in SG already super hot, like today can feel the burning heat even when I was in shelter. By the way whatsapp really useful, no need to use the callback card, might as well give her money to top up her card, for me it doesn't cost much since most of the time I'm on wifi, even if not on wifi the data usage actually not high.

Eat Lunch Alone at Market

Image
Kind of lonely but the food is still awesome. The pork rib noodle today is extra nice, the tendon so soft until melts in my mouth, power. The dumpling soup also power, I think they use some sort of dried fish to cook it. Cheap and good, like this only $6.50, cannot find this kind of standard even in nice restaurant, hawker food is the best.

Went to Pulau Ubin

Image
So many years never go, today public holiday and wife and baby went to Thailand for Songkran so nothing to do I joined my colleagues for a short trip. Had breakfast at Changi Village Hawkers Centre, it's the one with the famous nasi lemak, wanted to buy but the queue damn long, ended up I bought the hainan curry rice, it's really nice but strangely no queue at all. There's also a few stalls selling this white coconut water, this one super power, one big glass only $1. After that took a ferry to Pulau Ubin, one trip is $3, so go and come back is $6. No need to buy ticket, just queue up, board and pay the boat captain. The queue quite long though, we waited for the ferry at around 10am, I guess if you go around lunch should have less people. But take note the ferry ends around 5 or 6pm, I'm not sure of the exact timing as I heard from my colleague, so better check properly and don't miss the last ferry. Last time I went there was 11 or 12 years ago, that time do...

Video Call Wife with Whatsapp

The quality not bad, data usage also not much, she bought a week's data for 139 Baht, still ok but a bit pricy. By the way she told me someone took her iPhone charger, she put it in a bag and check in, didn't lock it, she took Tigerair, damn thief baggage handler, good thing it's just a charger and it's her old charger so not so bad. End up she bought a new phone. Baby seems fine, today also play the water, songkran started today, too bad I need to work cannot go, now very busy, so much shit to settle at work.

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 ...
