Finally Got Up and Go Run

These few weeks I have been using the heightened alert as an excuse to not go for exercise, keep telling myself to stay safe and stay home, end up building up a lot of negative energy, I tell you a person cannot just hide at home and do nothing other than going to work or to buy groceries. But actually can also work out at home but well, once you get lazy it doesn't matter where, you'll just cook up excuses when you feel like it. So today I finally forced myself to go out for a run, managed to run about 2.5 rounds of the track which is about 1KM and walk to complete 3 rounds, not bad, I thought after several weeks of rotting at home I won't make 2 rounds. Staying active is a must, it helps to get rid of negative energy and build up positive energy, this is very true because when I was in my 20s, I used to workout very regularly like 3-5 times a week or even daily was normal to me, I think that time even busier than now because I was doing part-time studies holding a full-ti...

M1 500Mbps Fibre Broadband Plan @ S$29.90

Yesterday my M1 broadband plan contract ended, so today I called up their customer service to check if the price of S$29.90 will remain the same, the service staff said it will follow the existing 500Mbps plan of S$29.90 which means for me it will remain the same. The staff mentioned that other than the S$29.90, there will be a monthly charge of S$8.00 for the SurfValue Plan, it is a mobile broadband SIM card that came with the fibre broadband. So I asked to cancel it and the staff mentioned it will take effect within 2 hours and reflect in next month's bill. By the way this M1 fibre broadband is actually for my parents, it is installed at their house, if can keep as no contract better because in 2023 we will probably move to Tengah.

KTV Covid Cluster

https://www.todayonline.com/singapore/ktv-covid-19-cluster-grows-148-cases-likely-ongoing-spread-6-more-ktv-lounges-moh Wah seh, shit suddenly got serious, I think better stay home as much as possible, you never know who visited those places but keep quiet, I don't think they will enforce the use of TraceTogether app or token, in the first place they are probably not operating legally. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/covid-19-ica-familial-ties-lane-boyfriend-girlfriend-ktv-cluster-15233666 And this Vietnamese girl, her Singaporean boyfriend sponsored her entry into Singapore, and then she go hopping around the various KTVs, I don't want to guess what she was doing but it's just outright obvious, I wonder if her boyfriend knows about it, really spoil market for all the genuine SG/Foreigner couples, now public have even worse impression of such couples, sigh.

Second Dose Hits Hard

https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2021/07/went-for-second-dose-of-covid-19-vaccine.html The whole day after getting the second dose was ok, it was during the night when things started to get real uncomfortable, and just happens that it was raining and I still left the air-con on so it was freezing. Then I can't sleep the whole night, just turning left and right but can't turn to my right side as I had the shot on my right arm. End up today took leave to rest at home, can barely get out of the bed, whole body ache, feel giddy, then slept until around 12pm. Good thing now feeling much better already, had some hot food, drink water, took Panadol but I try not to take too much, just follow the instruction and take 2 every 6 hours, it is mentioned on the vaccination card. Hopefully tomorrow can go back to work.

Primary 1 (P1) Registration for Baby

Glad that the P1 registration is fully online, now that we are in the 4IR era, manual processes should be digitalised and automated as much as possible. Looking at the MOE website , I thought the number of phases is too much and how students are segregated based on "fulfil at least one of the requirements for that phase" is kind of ridiculous. This part "registration phases apply to children who are Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents" also baffles me. I would think that Singaporean children should have utmost priority, but apparently that's not the case. The following is extracted from the website: Phase 1 You have an older child who is currently studying at your preferred school. Phase 2A(1) You are a former student of your preferred school, and have joined as a member of the alumni association not later than 30 June 2020. You are a member of the Advisory or Management Committee of your preferred school. Phase 2A(2) You or another child of yours have p...

Went for Second Dose of Covid-19 Vaccine

https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2021/06/went-for-first-dose-of-covid-19-vaccine.html https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2021/06/3rd-day-after-1st-dose-of-moderna.html My second dose was scheduled on 25 Jul 2021, but I saw the MOH SMS saying I can bring forward, so I changed to today and went for it. Same as first dose, the process was very fast and smooth, and I noticed more people coming for the vaccination, but the crowd doesn't affect the process, seems like this Fullerton Health knows what they are doing and they are managing it very well. This time they also gave freebies, a box of mask and a bottle of sanitiser. Also gave a vaccination card same like the first time, but actually this vaccination information can be found on HealthHub too so don't really need to carry it around. They also gave a sticker saying "I AM VACCINATED AGAINST COVID-19", but I don't think it's supposed to prove anything other than just gimmicky. After the jab,...

Bought iPad (8th generation - 32 GB - A2270 - Silver) for Wife

Image
The price on apple's website is S$499.00 but I bought it at Courts for S$488. The salesperson signed me up for the Courts membership which is free, and instantly applied an S$11 discount. It also just happened to be the last piece, and only left silver colour, geez this iPad 8th Gen so popular or what. Actually last weekend I went to Challenger to buy but out of stock, so I guess it's really popular. I also bought a casing from them for S$49, somehow they also included a 3-piece "SoundTeoh KA3-2 Key Plug" for S$1 which I didn't need but I think good to have; the iPad itself comes with a 3-pin plug and a usb-c to lightning cable so don't really need the key plug. Unfortunately they don't sell screen protector for the iPad, but fortunately just right beside their store have a good ol' trusty handphone shop. So I bought the iPad's screen protector + replace my own iPhone 8's casing + replace my own iPhone 8's screen protector for a total of S$...

Switched to Giga Today

I received the SIM cards for myself and my wife today, one guy sent it to our home in the morning, just put it into our phones and activate using the Giga app, no hassle. So I expect to be able to save S$22 a month by switching, previously me and my wife's bill total is S$50. Thinking of getting a S$10 plan for daughter but I think she is too young to hold a mobile phone. These days so many choices for mobile plans, life getting better.

Just Know About Giga Today

Image
Today my colleague told me about this mobile operator named "Giga", he also told me it's actually under Starhub, then I took a look at their plans, first thing coming to my mind is bloody hell kena conned or what, or maybe I'm just super outdated. Anyway I have two sim only lines under Starhub, S$25 each so total S$50 a month. The data is 5GB + 10GB (for 12 months) with 100 minutes outgoing and 100 SMS. Strangely already more than 12 months but they still give me the extra 10GB but I guess it is because they know I'm paying more! So I signed up via the Giga app for the S$10 plan for myself, and a S$18 plan for my wife. I don't use much data so 6GB is way more than enough for me. But still find this quite unbelievable, how come they are running Starhub mobile plans and this Giga plans in parallel, just kind of don't make sense because who would pay more for way less features, those on sim only plans like me or those contract finish or going to finish surel...

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 ...
