Appointment at SGH Obstetrics and Gynaecology (O&G) Centre

Our appointment was at 10.20am and we reached there at about 10.45am due to a traffic jam; we took a taxi. When we reached there, we registered and waited outside the doctor's room, then a nurse did a basic health check for my wife, took her weight and asked her to do a pregnancy test. After that, we were told that my wife needed an ultrascan as she is pregnant, by the way, that's the 4th time we did the pregnancy test, and of course, it's positive. We waited a really long time for the scan, but when it started, it was quite interesting. As my wife is only about one month pregnant, there's really nothing much to see, actually we find it weird as to why they requested for the scan. Anyway, the specialist couldn't see anything if she scanned from the tummy so she had to insert a long and thick electronic penis into my wife's vagina. She even put on two pieces of condoms on the device... From the scan, the baby is about the size of a bean, very small, even the

So Gain City Came Today to Fix My Aircon

Image
And they didn't really fix it. They did a check, opened up the blowers, compressors, did some testing and found that there is a faulty part in the compressor and they have to order that part before they can fix my aircon. Sigh, and I thought I can enjoy my aircon tonight, and the weather looks hot now, I hope it rains later. Update: Yes! It's going to rain, and looks like one heavy downpour! Dark Sky

Singapore Ranks Number 4 for People with Long Life

Source And I thought Singapore is a darn stressful place and people usually die very young, but that news report seems to say otherwise, what the heck, sounds like bullshit. I mean look at my lifestyle, wake up, travel to work, wait for lunch, wait to go home, travel back home, have dinner, park myself in front of the computer, sleep, repeat for 5 days, and all these for what? Money, because without money, it's like a car without fuel, a bird with no wings, a football game with no football, you know, the key component, driving force. And I'm grumbling, I know there are people who work more hours than me, for example retail staff, 10 or 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, even working on public holidays. But then again, what's the point of thinking so much, as long as a person is associated with money, I think that person will be very tired, even if he or she is financially free, that person has merely moved on to the next level of tiredness, you see, who doesn't want

Triple Confirmed, My Wife is Pregnant

Image
So she took a test on 25 May, the test line on the test kit was vaguely pink so we weren't very sure. This morning, she did the test again, the line was clearer and to be even more sure, we went to Tampines Polyclinic, and when we reached there, I saw the renovation works and suddenly I remember it's closed until June, damn, so we went to a nearby GP instead. Test result for this morning We ran the test again at the GP, I thought he was going to use something different, actually it's the same kind of technology, just different brand, and same result, positive, so he wrote a letter for us to go back to polyclinic because they have my wife's prescription and medical records and he also mentioned that since my wife is on Warfarin, her case is much more complexed and it's beyond what he can do, that we can understand; we've seen doctors in polyclinic who scratched their heads when dealing with my wife's case. I think he is a very nice guy, at first he s

Is Blogger Dynamic View Easy to Use?

I have been playing around with some free custom templates and it seems like they all take some configuration to use. I'm currently using the premade template from blogger and it's called Dynamic View, looks easy to use to me but not sure about my visitors. If anyone of you have any suggestion, please let me know, I'm really lousy at design.

My Aircon is Not Working Again!

Oh great, it's not cold again, so it completely went down on 12 May, and then they fixed it on 21 May by topping up the gas, they did say it was an interim measure and they would arrange another visit to determine the location of the gas leak because they did not have the equipment nor spare part, and they did call the next day to arrange for a visit, which is supposed to be this coming Friday, 31 May. Now I have to get them to come and top up the gas again. Sigh, so troublesome, why can't they just quickly fix the problem once and for all. I really hope they can eradicate the problem this coming Friday, they better bring along their whatever equipment and spare part, how can their service staff go to customer site without equipment and spare part, don't get it, I thought they have a van. Gain City, thank you, while I appreciate you for selling me the aircon at discount price coupled with some freebies, but your support is slow, I hope you improve on this or you'll

Things to Consider When Buying Aircon

After going through that gruelling 9 nights without aircon, it kept me thinking about my next aircon purchase. I'm definitely not going to buy from Gain City, reason being they did not run the pipes properly for me resulting in a gas leak. Even though it took about 1 year 10 months to be completely drained of gas resulting in that last failure, it's still not acceptable. My colleague is using Daikin aircon, everything from installation to maintenance was done by the company and in his 3 years of usage, there was only one breakdown and it was due to a known bug in the compressor's motherboard, and of course it was replaced with no cost. And it took 9 days for them to come down here to fix my problem, that's too long, I appreciate the fact that they fixed the problem but it's just too much. I'll probably buy Daikin, my colleague seems like a happy user, and my China colleagues keep telling me Daikin is the most expensive brand of aircon in China, probably becaus

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
