Baby Operation Next Month

Her operation date is getting closer, I'm actually a bit worried even though I trust the healthcare staff at NUH, I think no matter how good they are, I guess it's natural for me to worry, hope everything will go well. Just a bit scared, what if something goes wrong, what if we lose her, it's just very scary to even think about it, but looking at the positive side, NUH have done many of such operations so to them it's probably like a walk in the park. They have this statistics on heart surgeries from 2009 to 2014, seems to me like very impressive numbers, but strange that they don't have numbers for 2015 and 2016, hopefully those are as impressive as past years.

Sold All Stocks

Yesterday sold all my stocks, only two and both are REITs, got tired of holding REITs, nowadays REITs seems to be doing worse in terms of both share price and dividend, both on downtrend, if hold long-term I think not a good idea, unless keep averaging but it's still pointless if the share price doesn't go up, it's like trying to fill up a bottomless pit. So I decided to bite the bullet and sell at a total loss of $1366.61, but all-time earning still got $1,331.41, so still alright la, but looking back, that means ever since I started investing in Nov 2012, until now only earn $1,331.41, kind of miserable, but still better than putting in fixed deposit or worse, keep in savings account. I can only say low risk, low gain. Now cash have about $35K, of which $30K is spare cash, the other $5K for expenses and baby operation costs next month. After that wait and see, this time I going for blue chips, people say cash is king, this is very true, right now I'm in a positi

Manhattan Fish Market Still Sucks

Image
I find Fish & Co. food better, more meat. Manhattan like to give lots of rice and french fries, so much carbs so little protein and price is about the same. Order like this $41.90 inclusive of $3 delivery charge, good thing is there is no service charge.

Turn On the TV Nothing But Bad News

The Zika virus is here, don't know who or what brought it here, now pregnant women have to be careful, the virus can cause birth defect, see those babies with small head. For adults and children I think should be nothing serious. Then the haze, what on earth is Indonesia doing, so many years and they are still burning, never improve, but at least this time their VP or ministers never come out and gong lan jiao wei, or maybe they have but never report in news. Deep down really wish somebody will nuke that country and remove them from the face of this planet. Or at least should tie these two fuckers in the middle of their hotspots, then they will know the ba wu, while in the comfort of their office in Jakarta, I doubt they can understand how it feels like to smell the smoke.

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
