Flooring Completed, Cabinet Halfway!

Finally the flooring is done, looks real good but they haven't clear up their tools yet, maybe tomorrow they will come and collect. My father came just with bottom half of the kitchen cabinet, it looks nice after he installed, tomorrow he will install the top half together with the sink and stove. I think what's left is paint up a bit more, install bathroom accessories and that's about it. The rest should be buying sofa, utensils and etc.

Flooring Almost Done!

Today the renovation guy finished up with laying the tiles and he did some patching of the cracks and the wall, I think he will probably do plastering for the walls tomorrow and finish up with patching the tile cracks and wrap up the whole thing, too bad he can't finish today but it's okay as long as I can see that work is done. Not sure if I mentioned that my father got a free dining table with four chairs for me, anyway I setup the table as my computer desk, works perfectly, just the size for me, can put my monitor and still have plenty of writing space, I can even put my laptop if I want to, finally I have a big computer desk. Then I got my wife a standing laundry rack, was thinking of the ceiling mounted type but she prefers the standing type because it's easier for her, the standing one was more expensive, two stands which can hold 6 poles costs $35 but my wife managed to get it at $33. I also found some advanced versions online which can go for $700+! I don't

Two Days and Two Nights in New Home

Two days was working so nothing much to talk about, first night was okay until it started raining heavily at night and the rain was hitting on the aircon compressor bracket and making "ding ding" noises, woke me and wife up and I went to work the next day feeling so tired due to lack of sleep. I told my dad about it and he said he will make a wooden plank to cover the compressor. Yesterday night was great though, slept all the way till my alarm went off, woke up, brushed my teeth, drank some coffee and went to work. Was planning to take bus but it was always full so I took the train instead, faster and cheaper and even though it was also crowded but at least I can get in, it's just 4 stations to my workplace, speaking of which, my traveling time to work is now around 25 to 30 minutes, used to take around 1 hour and 15 minutes. And finally today the renovation guy came to lay the tiles, he also hacked the stove area, I think he can complete the whole thing tomorrow, in

Tomorrow Moving into New House!

Today went there and saw that the contractor had done some work i.e. laid one layer of cement to prepare for overlay of tiles, at least I can see the materials now, they changed to the longer type of tiles, heard from my father it's because the one that we choose ran out of stock so my father changed for me, it's fine as long as they can get it done, I have gotten to the point of anything works as long as it's done! Anyway tomorrow we will move in, can't wait, a bit shabby but our room is decent, we even have a set of dining table and 4 chairs, it's from some ang moh who is moving back home and they don't need it anymore so my father took it for us, still looks new, I think it's expensive, the table is a tempered glass top and chromed leggings, chairs are also chromed with leather seats, so no need to buy dining table and chairs, another saving.

Flooring Works Still Not Started

Really can vomit blood, until now nothing is done, I don't even see the materials or anybody, what the hell man. Took them a few weeks just to apply for the permit, and when the permit is finally approved, no update no nothing, no material and nobody, nothing, damn f**king pissed off. Now I know why my friends told me not to find people I know to do the renovation, in my case it's my father's friend, they f*** up and you can't do anything about it, I told my father to tell them to give me a timeline and they can't, what the hell is that, no timeline so when will they even start? Next year? Or the year after? What rubbish is that, by the time they start the permit will have expired, it's only for one month, so I'm going to wait for them to get the permit again? And repeat the whole bullshit again? I don't care anymore, if they can't do it, fine, I find someone else, just stop wasting my time, now this Sunday I will move in, really f*** up, the who

Time to Pay Income Tax Again!

Basket, this year tax so much, $493.48, sigh, last year still have 30% discount, this year no discount, NSman have $3000 relief, should give more, every year waste my time only relief so little bit, sigh, still have 3 more high-keys to go. This NS really nothing good to say about it, I wonder why some people love it so much, me, I do it because I have to do it, not because of anything else, it's that simple, if you ask me whether I like it or not, obviously I don't like it, if you ask me if I can choose not to do it or not, of course I won't do it, let the garang ones do it since they love it so much, but I bet you that if NS is by choice, then those garang people won't do it too, it' easy to say, when you do it haha, it's another story, just like how our fellow females say NS is good and bla bla bla but when asked if they would do it they say no LOL, talk is cheap.

Getting Annoyed with People Who Ask for (Free) Things

The day before there was this auntie, I think she was around 50 or 60+, when I was crossing the road she tried to intercept me but just nice my wife called me so I answered and then I crossed the road and headed to my HDB lift, I think she chased after me and as I entered the lift, another guy also entered the lift, then she appeared outside the lift and told both of us that she doesn't have money to buy medicine, the guy told her that he did not bring any money and before the auntie could react, the lift door closed and she walked away. Then this morning I saw her again, this time she was carrying two plastic bags, I think it was groceries, very strange. Today I met one uncle that I saw a few weeks ago at my workplace area, that time he told me he was in difficulties, what difficulties he never say, anyway he asked for a cigarette so I gave him one, today he saw me again and he asked me for a cigarette again, I totally ignored him, I was thinking how come he doesn't find a j

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.

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
