Baby Looks Good Today

November 07, 2016

They took out most of the tubes, now left with one into her nose and one on her left hand. Nurse say maybe tomorrow can transfer to normal ward. She also started feeding orally, I think that is a huge improvement, hopefully this week can discharge. One huge stone off my chest.

Baby Recovering Well

November 06, 2016

She still has slight wheezing but better than yesterday when they took out the tube from her nose, other than that everything seems to be ok.

Baby's Operation went Very Well

November 04, 2016

That's according to her paediatric cardiologist, she was here at the operating theatre, very professional of her to drop by. Baby went into the operating theatre at around 9am, after that at about 2pm I received a call from a staff telling me that they would transfer her to the paediatric ICU in 1 hour time, so around 3pm I dropped by the ward, saw baby's name outside the room, felt a great relief. After that I brought everyone to the ward, this time we managed to catch a glimpse of baby, she was sleeping, looks normal except the big white patch on her chest, anyway she was on general anaesthesia so I think she will sleep until tomorrow, maybe wake up a bit but will go back sleeping, so I brought everyone home, no point waiting there, just let her rest.

Baby Admitted to Hospital

November 03, 2016

Tomorrow morning she will have her operation to close the hole in her heart, just now she kept crying, I think she is scared of the strange new environment, she cried even harder when they tried to put the blood plug for her, unfortunately they didn't manage to do so as her blood vessels were too small, they will try again later. Poor little baby... but what needs to be done has to be done. I booked C class ward for her, they say it's an 8-bedded ward, but end up the ward only have 6 beds so it's not as noisy as we expected, actually baby is the noisiest one in the whole ward as she kept crying lol. And quite surprisingly the ward has free WIFI, so good thing we brought along her iPad so she can watch cartoon, but kind of troublesome as there seems to be a timeout, so have to sign in again and again quite often, but still better than nothing. By the way lucky we brought along her pram, ended up being useful as we can push her around instead of a wheelchai

Another Sucky Interview

October 31, 2016

Went for a technical test on Java, damn difficult, it's not those basic Java questions, they gave me a couple of program codes and asked what is the outcome, can barely answer, without Eclipse so difficult, so used to having the IDE do everything. Then a lot of trick questions on syntax and whether code will run if not what outcome, finally some real world situations, asked me what I will do if system encounter slowness, or what I will do if I am tasked with migrating a few systems into one system, seriously migration is not a one man job, it takes a whole team to plan for it, how the hell would I know on such short notice lol. And then some J2EE questions, they actually tested me on scripplets, nowadays I thought industry norm is JSTL, why bother with scripplets unless absolutely no choice. I really wonder how can anyone pass that kind of test lol, so my strategy was simple, can answer, then answer, cannot answer skip to the next, don't get stuck on one question forever,

Changed too Much Thai Baht

October 29, 2016

Last week went to Bangkok to stay for 3 days and 2 nights, changed 19,050 Baht, left with 5,000+, and we already bought whatever we needed. I changed so much also because I thought I would need to pay for MIL and family but they hardly bought anything. I even paid 1,000 to her uncle for petrol because he drove us to the airport.

Interview Today Sucks

October 25, 2016

Just came back from interview, kind of sucks, morning kena runny nose, sneeze until so shag so really no energy or mood to go for interview but I still go anyway since already told them I will be present. The building damn far from home, take bus already 1 hour, plus walking I think total need 1.5-2 hours, if ask me to work there can die. So for the interview, got 3 people, one is a director, another is a HR woman, last one is a technical guy. Ask about my current role, ask what I expect from their company and all that typical questions, I think I did quite badly, so many years never go for interview, also never expect them to actually call me up for interview. Anyway my stand is since I have a job so it's more like testing the market, can get better package, great, cannot get, then back to work. Furthermore I think they want me to do .net project, I told them it's not my expertise, I more to Java, want me to do .net is more of a learning phase for me, already told the gu

Bangkok Trip Photos

October 24, 2016

Some photos from our short trip. Go Thailand must eat MK for sure, best steamboat ever, forgot to take photos of the roast duck and roast pork. Some evening shots. Erawan Shrine, still quite a crowd, even saw two officers with a huge dog, think the dog is sniffing for explosives. Random shots of the busy Bangkok street. Ya Kun in Siam Paragon lol. 100 Baht Yen Ta Fo, the noodle is 80 Baht, wife say damn expensive, eat at street probably 20-30 Baht can get. Everything at Siam Paragon is like SG normal shopping mall price, to us is still ok, to them is super expensive. 700 Baht dinner buffet at Mercure Bangkok Siam hotel, usual price is 1400, guest get 50% discount. I find the selection very limited but the pizza is amazing, and seafood is very fresh, I think if you eat the seafood you can easily get back what you paid for, especially if you like oysters, I tried one and find it too weird for me, but it's very fresh, don't have a

Just Came Back from Bangkok

October 23, 2016

It was an arguably ok trip, would be so much better if not for the stupid fucks at Changi Airport who seems more proficient at ruining my mood than actually acting like the professionals that they were supposed to be, come on, in uniform, do I need to say more? Like I always say, there is always a reason why some people are stuck at whatever shit position that they are doing, one great example are those miserable fucks who chop passport at Changi Airport, they probably get a pathetic salary for doing something so menial, which can be easily replaced by machines, I wonder why we need to get people to sit around and chop passport and empower them to talk down to visitors, just because my MIL and wife's cousin obviously looks like they are not from the city doesn't give them the right to treat them any differently, not to mention make any sarcastic remarks. Funny if my MIL and wife's cousin were ang mohs these fucks would probably treat them differently, who knows they

Going to Bangkok Tomorrow

October 20, 2016

Tomorrow going to Bangkok to bring MIL and cousin here, me, wife and baby going, so good chance to take a break from the shit here, everyday work also sibei sian. After that is baby's operation, rescheduled to next month, hopefully all goes well.

Butter Pork Rice @ Chinatown

October 16, 2016

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!

October 12, 2016

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

October 04, 2016

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
