Good News Again?

As mentioned in the last post , the pediatric cardiologist said that baby has a hole at top center of heart, it's called AVSD , it's a condition which requires surgical intervention, but today the professor at women's clinic mentioned that he is not convinced that baby has AVSD, following is his report: Baby's weight as of 25 weeks and 2 days: 722 grams. Comment: CVS - Situs solitus with laevocardia. Both atria and ventricles are of similar size and contracting well. Left SVC with prominent coronary sinus seen. Both outflow tracts are normal. AV valves appear to be at same level and there is possibly an AVSD. At least 2 pulmonary veins seen entering left atrium. Summary: The fetus is growing along 18 th centile. Liquor volume and doppler studies are normal. Follow-up: Rescan 4 weeks for growth and cvs. He said so far so good, and we can only know whether baby is fine after birth, well, I hope so. I am getting confused by these doctors.

Kena Virus Again

Last week I have a co-worker who was having a bad sore throat, so bad until his voice changed, so Friday I was near him for a while, I think I got the virus from him, and the virus only reacted on Sunday because by then, my throat felt funny. I took the Robitussin cough syrup and it helped gave some relief. But this morning when I woke up, wow, my throat feels so uncomfortable and I was having a slight headache so I went to see the doctor and she gave me a bunch of medications and antibiotics. I took the medications and feels better now. I wonder if my immune system is weak, how come I get infected so easily, but anyway I wasn't the only one who kena, the guy who sat near him also kena lol. I think if one is sick, better to take MC and stay home until the virus clears, one person MC better than 3 person MC.

Bought Graphics Card and RAM

Just now went to Sim Lim and bought the GTX 960 and 2x4GB 1600Mhz RAM, $325 and $110 respectively. Nowadays the RAM have 8 chip and 16 chip, 8 is the new one and 16 is what I'm using, the guy told me the 8 chip won't work on my motherboard but I didn't say I want the new one, actually I was looking for the old one or whatever that works on my current motherboard because I have no intention of upgrading so much. Miscommunication, that's why should ask me properly before he jump to conclusion. Anyway the new card works nicely, it's so powerful and yet it's not hot, idle temperature is only 29-30 degrees, much lower than my old and broken HD6870. The power consumption is also lower at 120 Watts, and it only need a 6 pin plug to work, compared to HD6870 it needed 2x6 pin.

Went to Mom House for Steamboat

Yesterday night my parents prayed overnight, they do this every year and today they prepared a lot of food for steamboat, really eat until damn full, almost cannot walk lol. I think my mom's steamboat still the best, even though I didn't like it before, maybe her skills improved, I really enjoyed the meal. Ah, tomorrow going to Sim Lim Square to get my graphics card, was planning to go today but was called up for the steamboat, I think I'm getting GTX 960, after looking at many reviews, it seems pretty value for money. I am also looking at GTX 750 Ti but it's not really that cheap and performance-wise, the 960 greatly outperforms the 750, price-wise it's just about $100 difference depending on which brand, but I'm leaning towards Gigabyte because I bought their motherboard in 2009 and it's still working fine now, definitely not going for Sapphire, my HD6870 didn't even last 3 years if I remember correctly.

Graphics Card Faulty

Yesterday I spent almost 3 hours before I finally know what was causing my computer to freeze, my graphics card, but strangely it can still output video even though it's not working well, I think it's running on basic drivers, see right now I can see stuff but it's not as good as before, previously I was running full HD so everything was very clear, now it all looks quite pixelated. Anyway how did I know it's my graphics card problem? Thank myself that I had the foresight to install 2 OS, I have 2 harddisks so earlier on when I was installing my OS, I thought I might as well install on my second harddisk as well in case shit happens, so this really saved me a lot of trouble, so when I can't boot into my main harddisk without the screen freezing, I tried booting into my second harddisk and I can boot in normally, and other than basic drivers that Windows provides, I didn't install any other drivers. So thinking that my Windows might be corrupted, I reinstalle

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
