Alternative to Alexa

Image
Today while surfing the net, I came across this new web ranking website named SimilarWeb , it looks better than Alexa, let's see how my blog ranks. 3,797,731 It's pretty close to what Alexa ranked me , at 3,729,259, but it does better by showing my Singapore ranking, Alexa don't show my Singapore ranking probably because they don't have enough data. And even though both are estimates, I think it's always good to have more than one perspective.

Starhub Fibre Outage!

Just now from about 7.45pm to 9.30pm, the internet link seems to be down, I thought my home gateway is faulty again but it's not, the lights are blinking green and looks normal, I tried to call the technical line but unable to get through, I think we are not the only one affected because my mother tried calling 1634 (no idea what it's for) and the lady on the line says the technical line is experiencing heavy call volume, so I think my guess is correct, something went wrong somewhere and they got bombarded with calls. And luckily it's working now, hahaha, they solve the problem very fast, that's why I like Starhub.

http://www.ica.gov.sg/news_details.aspx?nid=12665 Good news for those of us who cannot get PR for our beloved spouse, because the Singapore government has come up with a enhanced long-term visit pass called LTVP-PLUS or LTVP+. I'll sum up the key points in the FAQ provided by ICA so you don't have to go through one big page. Do let me know if I missed out anything or correction is required by dropping a comment. GENERAL LTVP+ will be in effect from 01 Apr 2012. LTVP+ holders will enjoy extended duration of residency, public healthcare subsidies and easier access to employment. No separate application required for LTVP+; an application for LTVP will automatically include your spouse for LTVP+, if eligible.

Current holders of LTVP will be considered for LTVP+ on next renewal. If holde

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
