All Down with Cough

Now me, wife and baby all coughing, wife's most serious, me second, baby third. I googled and found that cough for baby usually not serious, I think she have some sort of viral infection, her immune system will probably be able to handle it, furthermore she is breastfeeding which somehow makes her stronger. But with the haze our coughs can't get any better, so now safest is to stay home, I just looked at the sky, seems quite bad today, the 8am PSI shows 136 for west side, I hope the haze dissipates soon, wonder if Indonesia is still burning stuff, must be, this country is hopeless, every year you tell them, every year they commit the same mistake, for decades, how can you make the same mistake each year, over and over again? Ridiculous.

GE2015 Sample Count Results

Image
Didn't know there was something called "Sample Count", following is a description: Sample Count Basically it gives people a rough idea of the polling results for each area so people don't have to wait too long to know the results. The sample count results don't look good for opposition forces, Worker's Party seems to have lost their Punggol East SMC with PAP winning 51%. As for the rest of the known results, PAP won every constituency except Hougang. Now I'm waiting for Tanjong Pagar and Aljunied results, I think the rest no need to see, we all know which party will win. Update1: Just noticed SDP Chee Soon Juan's A team was defeated at Holland-Bukit Timah with PAP winning 66%. Also noticed Han Hui Hui was defeated at Radin Mas, she only have 9% of votes, I think she will lose deposit, why in the world did she contest, who in their right mind will vote for her, apparently 9% of the voters in Radin Mas weren't in their right minds today.

It's Voting Day!

The polling station is just 1 min walk away from my flat, so this morning around 10.30am I went to take a look, there was quite a long queue so I went home and relax, 30 minutes later I go down again and there was a shorter queue so I queued up. I didn't wait too long and it was my turn, I handed my polling card and identity card to a lady, she read out 4 numbers and gave me back my polling card and identity card, she also handed me the voting card, the whole process was very formal, she looked very serious. So I went and cross out the PAP logo without any thought, dropped my vote into the box and went home. Then we went to have some good food, shopping and buy new shirt for baby, the baby dress so expensive, one set cost $24.90! We also bought some teething toy for baby, think she is going to grow teeth soon, nowadays she keeps salivating. Then we took taxi home, there was barricade on the way to my home since my area is a polling station, the security told the taxi driver to

2 More Days to Polling Day

Somehow I am looking forward to voting lol, maybe because it's a rare event, and it's also the only chance in every few years to let the government know whether I'm happy or not. Now that I think of it, this will be the 3rd time I will be voting in a general election, if include the last presidential election, then this will be the 4th time that I will be voting in Singapore. Let me see: 2006 General Election I was staying in Tampines, the leader of the GRC was Mah Boh Tan, he was very popular that time, I was 23 years old, my first time voting in an election but I was not excited at all, that time I was busy working full-time and studying part-time so didn't care too much about such things, I simply voted for the most well-known party which was PAP, at that time it was the only party that I know of. 2011 General Election Still staying in Tampines, that time I was married not too long ago, wife moved in to stay with my parents but eventually there was conflict

PAP Rally @ Commonwealth Ave

Just now when I was on my way home I noticed a lot of security and people at the big grass patch, there is a big stage and I saw PAP logo, so obviously they are doing a rally there. It was almost 7pm and already people were seated and waiting, several people were taking pictures with their handphone camera. I was thinking why not watch at home, nowadays we have live streaming, can watch on YouTube. I also noticed the haze getting worse, this Indonesia say never listen.

Wife's Bill for Delivery

Can check out this link for details. So for 20 days of stay in C ward, the charges is $5411.04 after government subsidy plus $108 for A&E, total is $5,519.04. My wife was warded from 06 May to 26 May, actually we went to NUH on 05 May but no bed so we waited till very late and was warded at A&E, that's why there is the charge. The bill without subsidy is $14,265.40, government subsidized $8854.36, about 62%, glad I choose C ward, if any higher I don't know how much I will have to pay, but please don't start getting worried when you see my wife's bill, she has heart condition so have to go in early to change her medication to prepare for the c-section, for normal natural/c-section deliveries I think less than a week can discharge, some people today deliver tomorrow can discharge. If my wife is citizen, her final bill would probably be halved, so sometimes I don't understand why some people say government is not helping enough, what do these people expe

$3000-$4000 Cannot Afford Housing in Singapore?

Just now I was watching the channel 8 news at 7pm, there was this guy from worker's party speaking, he was speaking in Hokkien, he was saying people here are not able to afford housing with $3000-$4000 salary and yet government claim that with $1000, one can afford housing. And he added that how can he not know the sums as he is a banker with 10 over years of experience. I was wondering does this guy have any idea what he was saying, $3000-$4000 cannot afford housing? Then how did I buy my house? When I bought my house last year I was earning close to $4000, and I'm paying by myself, I didn't get a single cent from my parents, every single cent for the house I paid by myself, single income, as you all know my wife is not working. Maybe he was referring to condominium? But couldn't be right, if condominium is the benchmark for housing affordability then plenty of people cannot afford housing.

Received Poll Card for Voting

The voting station is just below my HDB flat, so convenient, I think can bring wife and baby to take a look, and after voting can go window shopping!

Finally Received My Wife's Hospital Bill

Yes! After almost 3 months, they finally sent me the bill lol wtf, now I'm going to submit to company for claims, it's quite a substantial amount that's why I kept chasing after them, if cannot claim then I won't even bother, they can take 1 year I also don't care. Anyway will probably save that money for my wife, open a bank account for her, she has been bugging me to open one for her for a very long time.

Sealed My Rubbish Chute

I have stayed in my flat for slightly more than a year, recently the cockroach attacks have become more frequent and more irritating. Earlier this week my right cheek and right butt got bitten by a cockroach, it crawled onto my bed when I was sleeping, probably bit my face and butt first before moving to my neck, so when I felt something ticklish, I woke up and slapped my neck hard, I then went to open the lights, the ugly creature dropped dead to the floor, it was probably hanging onto my shirt. Then the following days I noticed red itchy spots on my cheek, same goes for my butt, it was so damn itchy. Those spots on my cheeks are gone now, but those on my butt is still there and is still itchy. This is not the first time a cockroach invaded our sleeping area, my wife encountered once when she was sleeping, she felt something moving on her palm, she woke up and found a cockroach, I think that was before our baby arrived, so that should be quite a while back. And yesterday night was
