Pork Rib Noodle @ Commonwealth Crescent Market and Food Centre

Image
The pork rib noodle is superb, the meat and tendon is so soft that it almost melts in my mouth. One plate only $3.50, better than any restaurant food I have ever eaten. The shrimp dumplings also power, one bowl for $3, soup also very satisfying. Want to eat cheap and good food go to food centre the best. By the way this stall the signboard is blue, very easy to spot, just beside the chicken rice stall, not the Henry's chicken rice, the other chicken rice.

Singapore to Raise Legal Smoking Age from 18 to 21

Source Although they are still in the proposal phase but I think 99% will go through, so in future to buy, possess or smoke you need to be 21 years old. I guess it will be helpful to prevent most youths from picking up the habit but it will definitely be a pain for youths who are already smokers. As a smoker I think it's probably better, if possible I also don't want to smoke but it has become a hobby for me, so if you ask me to give up my hobby, it's as good as asking someone who is interested in photography to give up photography if you get what I mean. I've been smoking since I was 13, until now about 21 years. In between I have tried a few times to quit, longest period I stayed away was about 2 months, but every time come back because of peer influence or just plain old habit. I mean if your friends are smokers, eventually you will pick it up. I think if the government really want to stop people from smoking they might as well just stop the sale of tobacco,

Saudis Really Too Much Money

Source See the picture, how did they even have such a huge container for their food, that much food I think can feed a thousand people or more. Well they have money, but I think even have money also should not spend like that, why not just prepare only what they can eat, I'm sure they are not able to finish that much rice, imagine at the end of the day all throw away. I wonder other than oil what do Saudis have, maybe a lot of sand, so what if one day they run out of oil, if that day come they really jia lat, they so used to living in extravagance, the generations now enjoy their natural resources, future generations can only pick the bones.

Today Not So Bad at Work

This morning when I woke up, the thought of going to work made me felt a bit moody, but I did my stuff and just went on to work, thinking today is going to be a shit day since I've been away for two weeks, sure have tons of shit waiting for me to clear. Surprisingly, not super busy today, managed to clear my emails and keep up to the outstanding stuff, somehow the course made me look at things differently, that really helped to take away the stress and I was able to work on improving colleague relationship and focus on the task at hand. I think previously I was stressed because I was too focused, as in too stuck in the midst of the work, I find that if I step back and look at things from a bigger picture, somehow it helped to force me to think differently, look at things differently. For example one of my colleagues is "less meticulous" if I put it in a less negative way, if I put it bluntly, I would he is clumsy and forgetful, it makes a difference, if I put it less

Thinking of Moving to Thailand

Link to Royal Thai Embassy Singapore. So I checked out their Non-Immigrant Visa-O (Thai Spouse), have two doubts so I emailed them and got a reply. 4. A Letter from the Applicant’s Thai spouse This is a letter from the Thai spouse to the embassy to request for my visa to stay with her in Thailand. Still not quite sure what the content should be, I guess something like writing to the embassy and requesting permission for me to stay with her. 5. Bank statement (At least 400,000 Baht) The staff said the bank statement can be from my Singapore bank account equivalent to 400,000 Thai Baht, that's about 16,140 Singapore dollars. I also asked whether I can work in Thailand with the visa, the staff say cannot, hmm, like that how to make money to survive, seems kind of strange.

So Many Days Never Blog

Recently so busy with work, with course, with family, with playing games, at least playing games helps to take the stress away, playing with baby too. But I think best is still to go out with family, go for stroll the best, enjoy the scenery, the cool breeze, beautiful Singapore. Now baby big, can run, very curious everything also want to touch, now can say 123 ABC, also say quite a few words, cow, nana (banana), cat, no and several other words, learning fast I guess. By the way wife and baby going back to Thailand this coming Songkran, I wanted to go but now I'm trying to avoid taking leave, last year bonus very bad, this year I want to improve, part of my organization KPI is actually to maintain productivity, they measure this by looking at how many days I'm away, MC, annual leave, childcare leave, I guess even NS leave, can say not fair but well, that is the harsh reality.

Tried Wee Nam Kee @ Marina Square

Image
After I learned about the branch at Marina Square last week , I made it a to-do thing this week, must go and try and so today I brought wife and baby there. Unfortunately, it was a disappointment, don't understand how come so different from when I tried at their Upper Thomson branch, I thought since they carry the same name, then standard should be not much different. The chicken at the upper thomson branch was crisp, fragrant, rice was cooked just right and fragrant, chilli and especially the ginger garlic mix was superb. But this marina square branch, everything falls short; chicken was cold, kind of tough, lack that fragrance of a fried chicken, chilli was not bad but the ginger garlic mix seems to lack something. The rice also lack something, don't have that nice chicken rice fragrance. By the way it was several years ago that I tried the upper thomson branch, not sure if it is still there. By the way I didn't take a photo of the veggies that I ordered, for a

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
