Butter Pork Rice @ Chinatown

Found it at a Tze Char stall just beside Chinatown Complex. Not bad, the sauce can be a little bit sweeter and it will be awesome.

Everyday OT!

These few days super busy with work, everyday work until very late, no energy to blog. But at least coming to weekend soon, only weekend then can relax. Today got one company call me up, it's a big firm, they got a senior position lobang super near my home, take bus I think 15 minutes can reach. Job scope basically same like now, do everything, but if near home and salary is better, I don't see why not. I think IT line all can be quite siong la, everywhere also same, most important thing is don't get low-ball salary, currently I feel a bit underpaid, probably because this year bonus like shit but workload increase, and this year package actually lower than last year, sad. Furthermore the users also like shit, since all shit might as well aim for higher salary and convenience right, at the end of the month only the dollar counts haha, all the hard work and stress are worthless.

Job Agency Call Me

Yesterday I submitted my resume through a few websites, today got a call from an agent, he say got lobang for me, job is similar to what I am currently doing, ask me why I want to find new job, I say I want a change of environment. He ask me salary I want how much, I say $4800 to $5000, then ask me to list down my skills, while listing down I realized that I learned a lot of things in these few years with current company, but now seems like slowing down tremendously. First few years it's like racing at 120km/h, now it's like 50-60km/h, like just getting by, just doing because I have to do, not because I have the motivation to want to do. Really feeling stagnant already, maybe that's why I want to move on, go to a new place, meet new people, learn new things, gain experience in a different industry but of course still software related. Now as I write this, still not very sure whether I want to jump or not, what if they call me up for interview, go see how, what if they

Booked Mercure Bangkok Siam Hotel @ $528.84 from Agoda

This month going to Bangkok to bring MIL and wife's cousin to SG, so might as well also go for a short holiday. We leave on Friday and come back on Sunday so it's a really short trip. I booked the same hotel that we stayed during our last trip , it's a great hotel although a bit pricy, but best thing is the location, near MBK and near the Erawan Shrine, this time must go back to the shrine to pray. By the way I booked 2 rooms for 2 nights, so one room per night is $132.21, but considering that we don't have to take taxi to get around I guess it's a decent price. Was also looking at Novotel Bangkok on Siam Square, the location is even better, right in the middle of MBK and the shrine, but it's slightly more expensive, and I read that they are doing renovation until late this month so that really puts me off, I don't want to pay so much for a hotel that isn't looking at its best. Anyway when booking hotel best is to check different sites, the s

Looking for New Job

Today I updated my resume and submitted to a few public sector agencies, hope can find a civil service job. Actually current job also not bad but getting kind of stagnant, see if I can find something new and fresh to do, everyday do the same shit also sian. Anyway now my company bonus also like shit, they doing some restructuring so the compensations all changed, last time much better, bonus can get 3-4 months, now only 1 month, quite jia lat but good thing salary still not bad. But in profit-oriented company is like that, all they care is profit margin, they say staff is their biggest asset is just for show, I don't think they really mean it. Just look at my current working environment, the desk so miserably small, you go coffeeshop find any table also larger than my workdesk haha.

Changed Thai Baht @ 25.40

Next month going to Bangkok to bring wife's mother and cousin to SG to help us as baby going for operation. So just now went to change Thai Baht, changed $750 for 19,050 Baht, rate is 25.40, now so high, good time to change. Now thinking of what hotel to book, wife's mother and cousin never been to Bangkok much as they are from rural area so I am thinking of getting a good hotel for them to enjoy, too bad my house in SG is pathetic, sigh, no money to buy a larger flat, hope can win Toto and then I'll buy a condo in Bangkok ;)

$2.70 Bak Chor Mee @ Commonwealth Crescent Market and Food Centre

Image
Today came home 7+ so went to try my luck to see anything to eat there, found this new Bak Chor Mee stall, person tending the stall is a young man, saw the price quite surprised, nowadays not easy to find this kind of pricing, the Laksa also same price. So I tried the Mee Poh Bak Chor Mee, damn power, for this kind of price the ingredients not stingy at all, some they sell cheap but ingredients not much, this one different. Note that takeaway extra $0.20 but ok la, noodle so good, $0.50 I also don't mind. Must go back again.

22 Sep 2016 Toto Estimated $7m

This coming Toto is the one to buy, if nobody win group 1, then it will be distributed to group 2 which is still a substantial amount. This is because last 3 rounds nobody win group 1, so if round 4 still nobody win, then distribute to next group. So today I boldly whack $50, first time ever in my life to whack so much on gambling, if can win then really lucky, have a good feeling but don't know why haha, maybe it's time for me to finally win something significant, I think in my lifetime only win lucky draw once or twice, but the prize is as good as useless.

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.

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
