Daughter Went to See Heart Specialist

https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2023/01/baby-might-need-operation-again.html Today went to see doctor, did ECG, got a flu vaccine, consultation. Doctor explained that the surgery is necessary but also need to observe because currently she is doing well so they can't just operate on her when she is well and risk making her unwell; operation have its risks. Doctor also said she might outgrow the condition since she is bigger and taller than most kids, ultimately need to go for regularly scan and continue to observe but doctor's preference is that the operation is done before she goes to secondary school. So just do a scan in Jun and see doctor again in Jul.

SAF is Really Serve and F*** Off

Image
2 years of full-time stay-in national service, with pay worse than a maid; maid actually earns 2x more than me. 12 in-camp training over 10 years. 12 individual physical proficiency test. 25 remedial training. 8 mobilisation / briefing. Only got the 3rd milestone for NS HOME Awards, then the few pathetic vouchers, annual tax deduction of $1,500. Really a waste of life. But at least now I truly feel free, no more responsibility to this country. Last thing to do, help them dispose of the crap they gave me, ccb still have to help them throw rubbish. F u SAF.

$PEPE Coin

Recently this coin burst into the limelight, I just checked on CoinMarketCap the price started at US$0.0000000578 on 17 Apr, then it reached a price of US$0.000004163 on 06 May, that's a 72x of the original price, then right now it is trading at US$0.000001951. According to Etherscan, the maximum supply to ever exist is 420,689,999,999,999.999999999999998764, in short it is around 420.68 trillions. I saw some people were saying it will go up to $1 and then I laughed, that would mean the market cap would be US$420.68 trillions, a quick Google search shows that the total wealth in the world combined is around US$463.60 trillions. Even if a Bitcoin is worth $100,000 each, the fully diluted market cap would be US$2.1 trillions, this is the king of stored value, digital gold. Even if an Ether is worth $10,000 each, the fully diluted market cap would be US$1.2 trillion, this is the king of utility, smart contracts. What is $PEPE? Just another coin created by some anonymous guy/team, but ...

Aircon Guys Came to Check Aircon

https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2023/04/aircon-gas-leak.html Wednesday managed to reach the Malaysian guy, then yesterday he and two other guys came to check, they said afternoon 3pm to 4pm but didn't come, he called me and said he will be late and come around 5pm-6pm, then 6:30pm still never come so I called, he said he keeping stuff and will come afterwards, finally came at almost 8pm, but can tell they looked tired and came from other site (he told me they came from Woodlands), probably busy with other installations. They checked the gas pipe, one point leading out of the fan coil unit, another point leading into the compressor, both no leakage, the guy said the gas leaked until left half, he used some meter to check, used a sponge and some white stuff that looked like soap, but he confirmed that for his part no leakage; they can only access the pipes that they installed, they cannot access inside the fan coil unit or compressor to check because warranty is under Dai...

Aircon Gas Leak

Image
https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2023/03/aircon-replacement-complete.html Aircon installed on 08 Mar, just nice one month later starting to get less cold, on 19 Apr I called the guy who did the installation, told me to try set 18 degrees and if still not cold, call him and he will come check. I tried and seems to be cool but not as cold as just installed, didn't pursue further, I just keep it around 23-24 degrees, but now set lower and lower at 20 degrees and still not cold, aircon is kind of like just blowing cool air but not cold air, wife keep complaining hot. I thought it's dirty or what but a bit unbelievable since it's brand new, washed the filter, didn't help, called a cleaning company to come check today, the guy told me it's a gas leak, he said the aircon is not dirty, he asked me when was aircon installed, told him last month, he looked surprised, he told me to go back to the people who installed the aircon because if he do it for me he will hav...

Update on Courts Refund

https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2023/03/regarding-courts-refund.html So I finally got my refund processed back into my credit card on 01 Apr, in total took almost one month. Thought I should share the series of events. 08 Mar - Called Courts @ 1800 222 6868 to ask for refund, told me if pay by credit they will refund to card in 10-14 days. 25 Mar - Waited more than 14 days no refund, went down to Courts store of purchase, staff said no record of refund, staff tried to process but said he can't initiate, took a photocopy of invoice and said will call me following Monday. Staff also mentioned that for refunds it has to be done in store. 29 Mar - No call from store. Called 1800 222 6868, told me they will check and get back same day or tomorrow and they confirmed that they did submit a refund to store on 08 Mar and if the store does not respond, they will reach out to the store manager. 30 Mar - Someone from the hotline called and told me I can go down to store to get the ...

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...

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 ...
