Baby Watching Cartoon on Wife's iPhone

Times flies, baby is now 10 months old, now she can crawl, can stand but still cannot walk, if put her on ground she will panic, I think she is aware that if she fall it won't be like falling on bed, it will be painful, she hit her head twice so I guess she knows. She started to be interested in baby songs from YouTube, those teaching how to count numbers or abc songs. So now she is contending with wife for iPhone so when baby watch wife cannot watch Thai movies, if wife watch Thai movies baby will make noise. So maybe later drop by to get an iPad, maybe get an iPad Mini.

Phew Busy Week!

After coming back from holiday so many things to do, this week work until very late almost everyday, yesterday 11PM still at home sending email, sigh, damn rat race. But at least solved one major issue, few months nobody can solve then my boss ask me to help out, in the end 3 days settle lol, I find that every time I kena difficult problem I always manage to solve it on Friday, maybe Friday is my lucky day. Can only hope coming bonus good, better give me good one, knn all the difficult problems always throw to me, but actually I find that my team members don't try hard enough, actually it's all not that difficult, just have to commit time to find out how to fix it, but most people just want to go home on the dot, like that how to leave good impression to boss, not that I want to take credit, it's that they cannot solve the problem then my boss throw to me, I don't mind doing other people shit since my boss can see that I can deliver, he knows I can deliver that'

Just Checked Out Airbnb

Damn they have so many nice apartments for rent, the kind of price I pay for a good hotel I can rent a whole apartment! Sigh too bad, in future I will definitely try airbnb, just saw a really nice apartment, one night only $113, can easily accommodate 7 or even 8 people. There are also rooms at the lower price range with decent facilities, way better than staying at hotel.

iPhone SE Very Tempting

The phone came out this week with the 16GB version selling at S$658 and the 64GB at S$828. This phone is basically 6S with some negligible difference built as iPhone 5 size and casing. The 16GB price is around 2/3 of the 6S, makes me want to buy on impulse at apple store. I wasn't that much into iPhone until my last holiday where it impressed me even more, I know apple products are very high quality and user friendly but I agree even more after playing with it for extended periods of time. The iOS is no doubt the best mobile OS, I played with Android and Windows and I don't like either, Windows is just plain garbage, as for Android there is no consistency, everybody just wants to make their own version, the Xiaomi version is good that's why their phone is so popular, Samsung is garbage, see it's like consumer is at the mercy of the mobile phone maker, sometimes you get it good, sometimes you get it shitty, there is no such nonsense with iOS because there is only one

Sushi Express - Sushi Take-Out

Today I finally decided to try, glad I did so because the quality is better than expected even though it's only $0.50 per piece. The reason that was holding me back was my experience at Umi sushi take-out, that time when I tried, their sushi was not fresh, and their shop smells fishy, super disgusting. I also bought a packet of Hana Maki, 4 pieces for $5, 3 pieces would cost $6.39 at Sakae. I find that their products are very fresh, another thing is they don't have this fishy smell lingering around, if fish is fresh there shouldn't be any smell. Definitely going back again.

Baby One Year Old Soon

Baby will be one year old this coming May, my father and said my mother wish to celebrate by inviting our relatives, I immediately said no, I think my mother wants to collect ang pao, I think this ang pao culture is super lame and stupid, if my mother collect ang pao on baby's behalf it will mean we owe all those who gave ang pao, next time have to give back, this is utterly stupid, so I told my father if they want to invite can, I will pay all expenses, those who come don't give any ang pao, but best is just celebrate within our family, no need to invite anyone else. My thinking is that if I can afford to invite and give people a treat, I will, if I cannot afford, don't invite, it's that simple, no need to invite and then expect to get back from ang pao. Lucky I now have my own house, no need to be at anyone's mercy, if I don't want nobody can force me hahaha.

Updates on Thailand Trip 2016

Image
So on 11 Mar we took SIA to BKK, it was pram friendly, can bring the pram all the way to the boarding gate and before we enter the plane, they will collect and put it on the plane, after we alight they have it ready at the exit so no need to collect at the baggage claim. Baby was enjoying the flight and didn't cry at all. SIA flight have the bassinet but we didn't use it on the way there, since short trip so no point. By the way there is free food and drinks, can also order alcohol, beer and wine, all included so no need to pay more, that's one good thing about taking full-fledged airline. After that we took Thai Airways to UTH, not really the Thai Airways that we expected, it was Thai Smile owned by Thai Airways, the plane is smaller but still quite comfy but they don't have bassinet which is ok. They also have free food and drinks, but didn't notice whether they have alcohol, since it is also short trip so I don't bother, only about 1 hour journey to Udon Th

Regarding Lek Lai

Image
First time hear of this thing, my wife's grandmother just gave her this black object that looks like a black stone, more like charcoal, according to my wife, if the wearer chants something the wearer will become invisible lol wtf. Lek Lai in Gold Frame with Gold Necklace So my wife happily went to a gold shop at MBK and framed the thing in gold, the frame cost 4000 Baht, then she hook it up with her gold necklace, I think the necklace cost 20,000 Baht, now I wonder how much this stone cost, one can only hope that the stone cost more than the gold otherwise what's the point of putting it in gold frame and gold necklace. I did some research online and found nothing that I can believe, seems like there is no scientific study done on this object, what I can find online is nothing but magical nonsense, saying it is indestructible as in even bullets cannot damage it, there's even a place in Kanchanaburi where people can insert one small pieces of this thing into the

Arrived Home this Morning

Finally back home after an 8 days trip to Thailand, phew, feels great to be back in my home country, I think no matter where I go, Singapore still feels the best for me, it's clean and safe and children here have a better chance for a better future compared to those in Thailand, especially rural areas. My wife has a cousin, this year 16, he doesn't go to school much and most of the time his mother made him look after the pigs, I asked my wife why not go work in 7/11 or bank as security guard also not bad, but she says he doesn't have the education and he is not that bright, he looks a bit slow but for me I think that is just appearance, when I was 12 I also look gong gong, everyone say I was very blur like sotong, then 13 I started working and everything changed, moral of the story is one must try to venture out, cannot just listen to mother and stay home and look after the pigs. Then my wife's brother 30+, I think same age or 1 year older than me, he is working in

Back Pain, Alcohol and Caffeine

During this holiday, my back pain came and go a few times, seems to come on days where I drunk coffee, you know their coffee is very thick so I think something to do with that. And when the pain does go away it was because I drunk alcohol, mainly rum and vodka, woke up next with the pain gone, it's better than any cream or medicine lol. Anyway I tried Bacardi rum and their breezer drinks, very power, later must buy at airport.

Retarded People EVERYWHERE

By the way today is my second last day in BKK, just now me, Wife and baby returned from shopping, took lift back to hotel room, there were two mandarin speaking girls waiting when the lift reached our level, they just stood there blocking the path out, I was pushing the pram and they don't bother to give way and just squeezed into the lift, really retarded people, don't know why these people always behave like that, just come down from mountain or what. But then selfish retarded people are everywhere, the most obnoxious are still people in SG, don't know where these bad behaviours came from. Nehs also another retarded group as in those from I. That day when we flew from SG to BKK, was at duty-free shop buying smoke and spirit, there was this neh, he walked to one corner after me, as I was moving away to check out another spot, I heard a loud fart behind, I looked at that neh and he just act blur like they always do, really chee birds, shameless mother flacker. I think f

How to Marry a Thai in Singapore

Image
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
