Changes to PR Application

Image
So from 18 Dec 2017 all have to submit online, no more counter submission, which is a good thing, can do at own convenience, hope they have a draft system so can progressively update, imagine you update halfway then have to do it all over again lol. Also seems like the application fees will be revised but not sure go up or go down. When my wife got hers, we paid total of $200 ; $100 for entry permit, $50 for re-entry permit ($10 per year for 5 years), $50 for blue IC. So new system they only mentioned the Entry Permit but never mention the Re-Entry Permit. Anyway I guess people don't mind la, can get PR is already worth celebrating, who cares about that few dollars.

Why Other Companies So Good

Recently I was working with one of my company's major competitor, it happened because an interface was required by the government agency from their system to my system. So for competitors to work together, it's not really like in the movies or dramas where people fight it out, in reality it is very professional, very focused on what needs to be done, no blaming if something goes wrong, if there is a problem we just fix it, at least from what I have experienced so far. And while talking to their project manager, I heard that they have a team lead, a business analyst and looking at the people with their company's domain name in the email loop, they have a bunch of developers or technical persons. As for me, I am the project manager, the business analyst, the tester, heck I even do the deployment, one-man show but I do have developers helping me translate design to code but bloody hell I have to do the design too. I've been thinking about the multi-task multi-role no

Now My Lower Left Back Pain Gone

After sleeping on new bed for 3 months, the pain at my lower left back is now gone, sometimes will still ache a little but it is just ache not pain so it is a huge difference. In future when I move new house, I'll be sure to invest in a really good bed, maybe import one from US, sounds expensive but actually it is cheaper than getting a full latex bed in Singapore, here one full latex bed I think at least $2500 depending on the size. Speaking of new house, need another 1.5 years before I can buy, have to meet the minimum occupation period, sigh.

GovTech Too Many Jiak Liao Bee

Recently got into an argument with one govtech guy, this asshole simply don't know how to show any respect for people. Anyway he's not even the one I'm liaising with, he is in charge of another project just that there was an issue which involves his system and another interface system, and I happen to be doing some resend of data files which involves his system. So this guy came and talk to me ask me what happen, why got error, I told him error was reported by the interface system which is under the charge of another person, so how about I check with that person since I'm not sure of their batch job logic, anyway told him I sent that person an email. Then he kept asking about the email, ask me got send or not, "really ah" that kind of rubbish questions, come on la motherfucker, what position am I, I'm not some stupid noob first day come to work, do I need to lie, then I got very offended and ask him want to see the email or not, kan nin na he say "i

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
