Bee Cheng Hiang Bak Kwa Still Sucks

Yesterday after visiting my parents, my father gave me half kilo of Bee Cheng Hiang Bak Kwa, this was a gift from his friend. So today I tried, wah still as tough and thick as always, and so dry and charred, seems like they don't do any trimming at all, and it is very lacking in flavour, it is like chewing on a piece of wood, I think old people cannot eat, too tough, but they are still the most famous, probably because they have been aggressively expanding in Asia. Today I went to parents house again, this time father opened a new pack, he say brand is Oriental, never heard of this name, but this Bak Kwa is really good, soft, not dry, not charred, and well-flavoured, not famous one taste better than famous one lol. And Bee Cheng Hiang also not cheap, father say 1 kilo is $52, this kind of standard give me free I also don't want, I probably won't touch it again, maybe my wife will eat, but she say best is still the Fragrance brand.

CNY 2016 Day 1

Yesterday had our reunion dinner at parents house, and today visited them to give them red packets, gave them $200 each, gave my niece and nephew $20 each, think that's it, never see anyone else so no need to give more, only see my neighbour but too bad he don't have children, instead he gave my daughter, niece and nephew, but his wife is pregnant now so next year I can give back. I find this ang pao thing kind of pointless, you give and take back, might as well don't give, like that easier, everyone no stress. Anyway CNY getting more and more boring, today go eat, then go temple, then go home, nothing much, not like when we were little kids everyone will gather at my grandmom's house, after she pass away everyone just stopped gathering, just like in army you see the singhs at one corner, the bengs one corner, the geeks one corner, the outcasts one corner lol. Now I actually look forward to going back to work, CNY too boring.

Wife and Baby Term Insurance Rejected

Just now checked with my agent how come so long never receive any news then found out that both wife and baby term insurance application got rejected, also due to their heart condition, but it's not that bad, no term insurance not really big deal, can still go for those savings plan, I think most important is hospital insurance, lucky still have MediShield Life so no need to worry so much. Anyway wife and baby both eventually need to go for heart operation, must standby some cash just in case.

Baby Seen Cardiologist and Paediatrician

Baby doing fine, doctor say growth is good so no need to see specialist anymore, just need to follow-up at polyclinic for vaccinations. As for her heart, the cardiologist say now no need to do anything, probably at 1.5 years old then consider operation to fix her ASD once and for all. Still don't know the cost and type of procedure, so I think need to set aside some cash just in case. Wife also need to replace her heart valve so most probably baby go for operation first, stabilize then wife go.

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
