These People Really Kings and Queens of Act Blur

Just now me and wife went to IKEA for shopping, ended up only bought a packet of scented candles for $4.90. We are thinking of getting a new cupboard but problem is nobody to carry for us, the delivery is so expensive, maybe wait until my father have time then we buy. So after the shopping, we took a bus home, we went to the bus stop, it was quite packed, nobody bothered to give her a seat, everyone just acted like they never see her, never mind, stand a bit is okay for us. After a while, there were two vacant seats, my wife signaled for me to go but I signaled back for her to go ahead as I don't mind standing, so she went over, then this couple, quickly went to take the seats, like that also can, they saw my wife walking over and they just sat down and ignored her, sigh, these people really jia lat. There is something very wrong with our culture, locals and foreigners alike, I wonder who started all these bad behaviours, as a human being, when you see someone in need, will you

Pre-Marriage Long-Term Visit Pass Assessment

https://www.ica.gov.sg/apply/PMLTVP/apply_PMLTVP_nonresident I learned about this new procedure from one of my visitors, I took a look and this new thing is not what I expected, at first I thought it's something to help our group of people, but seems like this is more to screen the couples first before they get married, last time is marry first then apply for LTVP, now is apply for this pre-marriage assessment before you get married, if don't apply, will face longer LTVP processing time, according to this page , under Processing Time, can be up to 6 months! "Those who did not go through the Pre-Marriage LTVP Assessment will be subjected to longer processing time of up to 6 months." What I can see is this is a new strategy to control the SG/Foreigner couple population, obviously Singaporeans who cannot meet their hidden criteria will not be granted the Letter of LTVP Eligibility, and even if they go ahead and get married, they will have to wait up to 6 months for

Had Dominos Pizza for Dinner

Last time I ordered it came a bit late so they gave me a coupon for a free regular pizza, so today I ordered 3 regular for $22, no extra charge, no delivery charge so very value for money, but most importantly the pizza really tastes great even though it arrived 30 mins late. I really like their crust, very special, wonder what powder they use to make the crust. So today they gave me another coupon, I will be ordering soon, great pizza!

Baby So Far So Good

Just now went to see the pediatric cardiologist, did her scan as usual, this time was quite fast, I think 30 mins settled. She told us she found nothing new, same thing there is a hole at top center of heart, but seems to be small hole so probably can wait until baby is 3 years old then do operation to fix, there also seems to be a hole at bottom center but it likely small to medium, if small can also wait until 3 years old, if medium then fix within months after baby delivered. She said the bottom part have to wait after delivery then confirm, roughly same as what the professor said in our last visit. Well, I think don't think too much, since wife and baby doing fine so far, I mean other than the heart, everything else is normal so probably no major problem, I overheard some child have heart which cannot function well, something like only function at 20-25%, I think that is much worse than what we are facing so somehow that gives me some relief, but I hope that child is ok.

Feeling Better Today

I was sick since Monday , I think it's the annual flu bug, every year seems to get stronger because every year I get infected at least once, I wonder if it's because people don't complete their antibiotics, it's not good for everyone else if one do not complete his/her antibiotics because if you don't complete, the bacteria might not be totally killed off and the remnants can develop resistance to the antibiotics while they reproduce, in future people would need stronger or different varieties of antibiotics. There is a discussion which debates on this topic which I find very interesting, can read here . Personally, I just follow the doctor's instructions, but only for antibiotics, doctor say have to complete then I will complete, as for the rest of the other medications, should be fine if I take only when necessary, such as Paracetamol (for pain relief and fever), and some which can cause drowsiness, you don't want to get drowsy at work or when driving ri

Long-Term Visit Pass - Plus (LTVP-PLUS)

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+. I'll sum up the key points in the FAQ provided by ICA so you don't have to go through one big page. Do let me know if I missed out anything or correction is required by dropping a comment. GENERAL LTVP+ will be in effect from 01 Apr 2012. LTVP+ holders will enjoy extended duration of residency, public healthcare subsidies and easier access to employment. No separate application required for LTVP+; an application for LTVP will automatically include your spouse for LTVP+, if eligible.

Current holders of LTVP will be considered for LTVP+ on next renewal. If holde

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
