So Busy at Work!

Been so busy that I have no time to surf net at work, finish one task another begin, got to fix bug, got follow-up with user, got to run to user site, it's not even part of our contract to provide onsite support but no choice, can't just tell them to solve it themselves, but there are people who told the users to solve it themselves! I think work until fed up already, then the users complain to me lol. IT line really not easy, I think it can get very stressful when everybody is chasing you, I can understand that because I have been through worse, imagine your phone ring non-stop, have to talk on the phone and solve problem, then have to rush to user site, I must say I am impressed with myself for surviving such situations, I think most people would lose their temper or simply switch off. Then there are cases where users look for me to solve problems that is not in my purview, for example I'm doing software but they look for me to solve their printer problems, I can'

Saw the Past Me Today

Just now I went to a school to help install a plugin for our application software, I met this lad who is working as the school IT support, the users said he looked like me, like my younger brother lol, well he does look like me when I was 20+, skinny, shy, curious, nerdy lol. I also used to work at the school, the job role is TA i.e. Technical Assistant, damn siong job, pay is low consider the kind of work we have to do, that time I was paid $1350, run around the school like a madman everyday. Anyway this lad is 20 years old, holds a diploma and he is from Malaysia, so young can travel here to work, very impressive, he was asking me a lot of stuff, how to handle some technical issues, some career questions. He was asking me if he should focus on getting a Masters degree first, of course I told him having experience is more important, paper is one thing to open the way but if you don't have experience, how long can you last? Furthermore by the time he get Masters, he will probably

This time got $195 so this month no need to pay, next month also no need to pay, maybe the 3rd month also no need to pay. I noticed the utilities bill very different each time, sometime $50+, sometimes $90+, sometimes $80+, how come can go up so high then come down so low, I wonder if they charge correctly or not.

Crazy Weather Again!

This morning was really sunny, the hot sun was making me perspire so much, then come lunchtime it suddenly started drizzling even with the sun shining so brightly. Then later in the afternoon, the wind was blowing so strongly, and it started raining dogs and cats and the rain dragged on until about 7pm+. I hope tomorrow will be cloudy, please don't rain when I'm at work, rain at night is okay.

This Yong Tau Foo Stall Really

Just now went to eat at Commonwealth Crescent Food Centre, the Yong Tau Foo stall so busy, I picked my goodies and stand there with my bowl for 5 minutes and the helper totally ignored me, another girl picked her food and handed in her bowl and the helper took it, I'm so big size and she cannot see me, see me no happy or what. In the end I fed up I put back the food and go buy the wanton noodle instead. This will be the last time I will ever buy there, the first time I went also same, stand there and she ignored me, maybe she don't like my face lol. Actually the Yong Tau Foo also nothing special, wonder why so long queue.

Seen Cardiologist Today

Today went to see Dr. James Yip, big doctor really different, experienced, know what is happening and what will happen next, have plan in mind, my wife also like him very much, say don't change doctor just stick to him. So today also nothing much, my wife feels fine, doctor did blood pressure and ECG, so far so good, will see him next year February. My wife's INR reading also good, yesterday checked was 3.0, now taking 3mg everyday, Dr. James also say as long as below 5mg per day the risk will be lower, actually I read about it too, just give it a try, better than taking the Heparin, imagine sticking needle to your stomach twice a day, anyway all that's over for now, we are now looking forward to 34 or 35 weeks, that is the time my wife can prepare for delivery, it will be by Cesarean delivery.

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+.

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
