New Spectacles Got Scratches!

Wah shiat, waited eagerly for today and after I collected and went home to surf net then I noticed my right lens has a patch of scratches, can't see it if the light is not shining towards me, so when the monitor's light shines into my eyes, the patch is quite obvious, then I put my glasses under direct light and looked from under, wow, the patch is so obvious, no wonder I see blurry lights at certain angle, I think somebody didn't do their job properly, how can they hand over a product with poor workmanship, sigh, jia lat, how can anyone be so irresponsible, I am sure the one who scratched it knows, but just want to ship it out and get it over and done with, please, think anyone so blind to never notice it. I really hate these type of people, they screw up and just keep quiet and let the snowball roll on, really scum of the earth.

Good Increment and Bonus This Year

Got a $464 increment and a 2.9 months bonus, whew, guess I can hit my $4000 a month salary before 2018 , now my salary is $3944, totally unexpected, but the bonus is slightly lower compared to last year, last year was 3.2 months, then again, 2.9 also good, even 2 also good, anyway I'm not relying on the bonus so it really is a bonus to me because when I plan my finances, I don't take into account my bonus, I find it safer this way. But higher salary comes with higher responsibility, now my boss put me as a team lead for a new project, hope I don't screw up, but I don't think it's that difficult to do because I know the project quite well already, I'll just do what I always do, try my best.

My Wife is Considering Further Studies

Today we went to Golden Mile, at level 3 there is a branch of the  Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University (STOU) , it's a distance learning university where students can sign up and study by themselves and then go for exams at PSB Academy, it's similar to the O/A Levels private candidates. There are also volunteers who have either completed the course or almost completing, they are there to help answer questions about the course. My wife learnt about this school through her Facebook friend and so they decided to check it out together, and I tagged along because I was very skeptical about it, but well, after being there, seen the place and talked to one of the volunteers, the school seems reliable, I also did a check on the school via internet, found that it's one of Thailand's public universities . I was skeptical because the courses fees are ridiculously low, but then again it's distance learning so they don't have to pay for classrooms, teachers and equipmen

Bought My Curtain Set at IKEA and Giant

Father bought some special cleaning agent for us so we went to clean the windows yesterday, looks a bit better now, at least can see through the windows, previously so dirty due to the age-old dirt/grease, now okay but not superb, father recommend getting those glass cleaner to really give it a good look. After cleaning, we went to IKEA at Tampines, bought a curtain rod set: HUGAD Curtain rod @ $6.90 BETYDLIG Wall/ceiling bracket @ $5.80 ($2.90/piece) VÄSENTLIG Finial @ $6.90 Total = $19.60 The bracket is the adhesive type using 3M technology so no need for drilling, so easy haha. And Giant is right next to IKEA so we dropped by and bought a curtain for $16 so total spending for our curtain is $35.60. Oh we are only putting up curtain in our room, doesn't seem feasible to put it at the kitchen because our kitchen is small and it'll get dirty easily because my wife will be cooking there. As for living room, no point also because the window is the old flipping t

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 fo
