Wife Going for Operation

Seen her heart doctor today, in a gist her condition is "very bad" and requires operation to replace her heart valve soon, wife keep saying she is fine but I can tell she is getting weaker, very obvious when she walks a little and complain tired. The heart doctor arranged for another appointment to see the surgeon, actually seen this same surgeon last Oct but wife didn't want to go for surgery, ended up a wasted trip, this time round I have to insist. Surprisingly after I spoke to her, she is ok with it, I think since daughter's operation is done and has recovered, so it is much easier to convince her, she also thought I no money to pay, I told her I have money, which is true, I have savings obviously, don't know what she is thinking. Going to see the surgeon end of this month, operation probably 1-2 months later, after operation need to stay in ward for about a week. Cost-wise, not sure how much yet, she is PR so I guess will cost a bit more than daughter's o

NCS Really CMI

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/former-ncs-employee-access-computer-system-delete-servers-human-oversight-4405131 Fired already still can access the servers, I wonder really only test environment or not who knows production data they take and sell to Indian scam centers and keep quiet, NCS runs a lot of government systems, networks and infrastructure so I won't be surprised at all especially when their workforce largely foreigners particularly India Indians, if you go to their Ang Mo Kio office during lunch hours you will know what I mean, it's like New Chennai in Singapore (NCS). These bunch of NCS fucks cannot make it at all, they cause a lot of problems to the projects I worked with, everytime got issue they very quick to push blame to application side, create extra work for everybody to check here and there waste a lot of time end up it's either their stupid misconfigured virus scan or garbage backup setup causing high CPU and IO but they still have the cheek

Wife Discharged

Yesterday her red blood count went up to 8.9, within normal range. Today the doctors still wanted to keep her warded for more tests but she don't want and left. I also took leave today to bring daughter, MIL and nephew for her post-op follow-up. Daughter's wound is healing well, doctor say can bath normally but have to keep it dry and wear clean clothes, then will see her again in 3 months time. Wife's heart function only 25%, normal should be 50% or more, I think she needs to go for op soon, I think when she sees her cardio need to highlight.

Baby Discharged, Now Wife Hospitalised

Yesterday she went to polyclinic to follow-up on her blood test, then out of nowhere the doctor called me and told me her reading 6.6, didn't catch what he was saying because I busy at work, anyway he sounded quite fierce and told me to send her to A&E right now, I thought must be quite serious. He gave a referral letter stating jaundiced and pallor. After that I called her up to bring nephew home first then I call taxi for her, end up she bring nephew along to A&E. After work I went to find her, bought dinner for her and then I bring nephew home and she stayed overnight alone. When I reached home, a staff called me and told me wife have to be admitted, have to stay around 2-3 days. Then today a doctor called me up and explained her condition, told me the 6.6 is the red blood count, it's too low, normal is 7 and above, it's probably because she had heavy menses, lost too much red blood. This is not the first time, back in 2018 also happened and warded. After that a

Baby Doing Great

https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2024/05/baby-finished-surgery.html Now she's still in ICU, still have some water in her lungs so she still have this tube to drain out fluid, but I think it is getting lesser. The needles at her neck area have been removed, those are for dripping morphine and antibiotics. I think there was also one tube for passing out her urine, that one is gone too. I also asked one of the surgeons about the events during operation, the surgeon told me it's nothing to be alarmed and normal for heart to stop during operation, okay, I did a google search and indeed read something about stopping the heart, but just weird how come what the duty doctor told me vs what surgeon told me sounds different, anyway most important is baby doing well, I just hope this surgery once and for all fix her heart issues so she don't have to go through this ever again. Yesterday around 6-7pm got one unpleasant episode, baby was crying in pain because her chest hurts,

Baby Finished Surgery

Yesterday daughter admitted to NUH, I took leave to settle the consent for surgery, use my Medisave and ward confirmation, I chose C class, if everything goes well no need to pay cash, if have complication, may need to top-up S$2k+, but it's just estimation at this point. Today I went to work, wife, MIL and nephew at NUH, nephew not allowed to go into the ward because he under 12 years old so he waited at the registration area at level 1, wife and MIL hang around with daughter until about 8:25AM then they moved her into the operating area. Then they waited for 4 hours+ no news so I called the ward to check, then the nurse said someone will call my wife. Around 3PM+, wife said they moved her to new ward and they told her can visit at 4PM. She go try at 4PM they say have to wait. Finally after I finished work, I called the new ward, then they told me can visit, so I went to NUH, went up with my wife, daughter sedated with tubes out of her nose and mouth, and some needles sticking int

Bought Logitech G203 (Black) S$29.90

https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2021/09/ordered-another-logitech-g304-white.html The left click on my G304 (White) is gg, keep on double click by itself, should be worn out already, at least it served me well for more than 2 years. The Razer Orochi V2 (White) that I bought also gg, the scroll went nuts, didn't last long, just a few months only, very disappointing sia, looking back even if there was a 50% discount also not worth buying. After that I bought another G304 (Black) to replace it. Anyway I saw some really good reviews about this G203, only thing I don't like is that it is wired, but I decided to go ahead and try it since it is not that expensive, and boy it is really good sia, feels premium even the wire feels premium, it feels exactly like a G304 but with a wire, best part is I can barely feel the wire there, you know those cheapo mouse you can always feel the wire pulling back a bit when you are moving the mouse around no matter how you position the mous

MIL and Wife's Nephew Coming Over

Daughter will be going for operation this month, so MIL and wife's nephew will be flying over, MIL is here to to give support whereas the nephew is very young, more like coming here to see what it's like in Singapore, hopefully will be good memories when he grows up. This will be second time MIL visit Singapore, first time when she came over was when wife gave birth, second time was when daughter had first operation. Too bad still living in my 2-room resale flat, can't really give proper accomodation, have to sleep in living room, lucky she don't mind and she actually prefers sleeping on the floor, but that's really how she sleeps back in her hometown, no bed, just a pillow and sleep on floor with a mat.

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 fo
