Holidays Over, Back to Work!

February 25, 2015

The 4.5 days of holiday are over, now it's back to work, so busy, this year have so many things to do, but that is good thing because it means that company is doing well so this year bonus and increment should be not bad. This year budget also announced, seems like government is trying to help out the SMEs, by delaying the increase of foreign worker's levy I think it will help a lot, nowadays foreign workers also not that cheap anymore, but I find it strange why government increase the levy on those less attractive jobs such as construction work, seriously how many locals are willing to do that job, educated ones will go white-collar, lower educated ones will probably go for sales or retail, construction work is so tough, where else can they get their workforce if not for foreign workers, so why government increase their levy, lol don't understand. Anyway this year budget I think middle-income won't get much, will get help in other ways but surely no cash money but

Crazy Woman Scolded My Wife Stupid

February 18, 2015

Today half-day work so I went to Sheng Siong with my wife to stock up some food and buy an electric steamboat for tonight's dinner. Today they open until 3pm and will reopen on this Saturday at 7am, by 2.30pm they already cleared most of their fresh food so everyone thought it's all sold out, so everyone was rushing to buy things, but most people were probably there for the aircon, walk around never buy anything, one uncle best, he looks like in a rush, rush here and there, saw him so many times but end up he didn't buy anything lol. So after grabbing our stuff, which we slowly did, no point rushing, not as if they will chase us out once the clock hits 3pm, these people really super kan cheong, don't know rush what, don't get it, anyway we went to a counter to settle the bill, very long queue, we switched to another lane then my wife came to tell me but before she could finish, I heard someone saying stupid behind me, so I turned around and saw one auntie, she qui

Food Price Go Up Again

February 17, 2015

Today I ordered Pig's Stomach Soup, one bowl was $6 and the portion was not as much as I expected, with a bowl of rice total $6.50, wow, usually I think they selling for $4-5, how come can increase so much, even my friend's mixed veggie rice costed $0.50 more, same dishes, I wonder if the price surge will stay, sigh, every year is the same, vendors always take the chance to increase price, if only our income grows as much. $1 of say $5 is 20% increase, $0.50 of say $3 is about 16% increase, does our income increase as much per year? Of course not. Singapore getting more and more expensive, government is trying to slow down property price growth, but costs of healthcare and food is getting more and more expensive, furthermore these two are necessities, I think more focus should be put on slowing down price growth of necessities, vendors should not be allowed to increase price so much, actually hawker centre rental is not very expensive but how come they are still increasing pr

Crystal Jade Reunion Dinner

February 14, 2015

Just now me and wife went to Westgate at Jurong, wah the shopping centre so damn big, so many shops so many food, see until my head giddy. We then went to the Crystal Jade at level 4 to eat with my family, ordered the $298 set meal and a $288 Pen Cai, so expensive, if add GST and service charge the whole dinner will cost almost $700! First dish was Yu Sheng, this one really good, different from those you buy at supermarket, so crispy and tasty. Then came the pen cai, first time eating haha, the soup so tasty but I don't like the dried oyster, so stinky, actually I only find the soup exceptional, everything else is quite normal, chicken, duck, pork leg, fish cake, abalone, I don't even eat abalone, too bad don't have rice, if eat with rice then really good. Then they served a plate of roast duck, so miserable small plate, braised oyster mushroom veggies and glutinous rice with egg strips. By this time quite full already, then they served a small bowl of fish, my father

Went to Mother House Just Now

February 14, 2015

Today my mother did her prayers thing and she cooked a lot of food and asked me to drop by to eat. There was chicken rice, braised duck, fried dumplings, fish, fishball/meatball soup with sichuan veggies, braised pork and tau kwa, eat until so full. In the past I thought her food doesn't taste so good, some are really good but most are experimental and kind of sucky but now it tastes really good. After dinner I had a long talk with my father, we drank guiness stout and talked all sorts of stuff, from work to my wife's pregnancy. He told me after I dropped by last Friday to pass my mother the ang pao, my mother went to buy 4D the next day using the last 4 digits of my NRIC 0521, it opened 2nd prize and she won $1000, so at least now I don't feel so bad for giving her $50 ang pao haha. So tomorrow we are eating at Crystal Jade at Westgate, heard from my sister it costs $470+, sigh, so expensive, might as well eat at Chinatown, $100 can order whole table and eat until full

Alamak Bad News Again

February 11, 2015

Yesterday we went to see my wife's cardiologist, everything is fine with my wife, she's feeling good and when doctor asked how many flights of stairs she can climb, I said 4-5, doctor commented that she's doing good. So nothing much yesterday, just see doctor and take medication and to visit again in April. I think this cardiologist is the best doctor ever, very friendly, humble and knowledgeable, my wife really like him haha. And today we went to get a scan at Kent Ridge FCC, we arrived at about 9.55am, registered and waited until about 10.30am, I told the counter staff that we have a 10.45am appointment at the gynae clinic and she said there's one patient before us, so we waited until about 11.05am, I got fed up and told the counter staff to cancel the registration, then she asked me to wait, I said I will wait for 5 more minutes, if still have to wait then we will leave, in the end we left but she called me to try to get us to go back and I insisted not to, only wh

Went to NUH and Mom House

February 06, 2015

Today went to the O&G clinic G, saw the doctor, nothing much, she did a basic scan and everything seems ok, my wife complained of regular burps and gases, doctor says it's normal if it's not every few minutes thing, due to tummy expanding and pushing up the stomach. So today didn't pay much, only pay $46 for repeat consultation. After that we took taxi to my mom's house, visit early since she will be going to Malacca during CNY with father so I wanted to give her ang pow first. This year didn't give much, $50 for mom $50 for father, $10 for niece and $10 for nephew, that's it. Then we went to re-contract my mobile line, I got the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G 8GB White for $99, I retain my power value 100, still don't want to get data plan haha, no use for it actually so no point paying that extra money. Now wondering how much I can sell, the xiaomi site is $229, if sell shop I think at most they take $150, don't know see how.
