Dirty Mop Water Drip On Baby Clothes

Image
According to wife this is not the first time but today I see for myself wah these people really horrible man, I thought the sensible way is to wash the mop clean before taking out to dry, this family is take out the dirty mop to dry, look at all that black/brown stains, don't they ever wash that mop at all? Anyway I went upstairs with the dirty clothes, knocked on the door several times and called out but nobody answered, I think someone at home but don't want to answer, never mind, I complain to HDB.

Some Thoughts About Thailand

Image
Overall rural area still the best i.e. wife's hometown at Udon Thani, air is super fresh, people are super nice, food is super fresh although most of the time looks weird to city people like me but if you try it it's actually very nice. The only problem is getting to places, for example getting to the town from wife's home is around 30 mins ride, or getting to some well-known temple is 3-4 hours drive, so without a car it is very difficult or impossible. And because of the distance, that's why you see people from rural area are more relaxed no rush type. Then come to Bangkok, the transport is terrible, the jam is terrible, the culture is terrible, taxi and tuk tuk drivers always try to overcharge if you are not local, Grab is not as easily available as in Singapore, and the worse is the pollution, if you take tuk tuk and get driven across a busy street you will know what I'm talking about, it is just horrendous. And most Thais in Bangkok are not as friendly as tho

Watching Nanatsu no Taizai (The Seven Deadly Sins)

Image
Found this interesting anime on youtube, nice series, feels like old school RPG, remember the days when there was great 2D RPGs? Now all turn into some 3D nonsense with no depth. If you have nothing better to do can watch here to burn off some time.

Nowadays Dental Treatment So Costly

Image
Last weekend a piece of my tooth got chipped off, the last one from my top left, then become very sensitive, drink cold water will have stinging sensation. Then today knocked off early so called Q&M because near my house, so happened they have slot so I went straight down without making appointment. The dentist was a young girl, probably mid 20s, very friendly and provided very detailed explanation of my conditions, so detailed that she talked until she a bit breathless, she also went through the cost before commencing treatment, very professional, very upfront. She recommended crowning for the chipped tooth, also told me it is due to grinding, I didn't know I grind my teeth at night, wife also never tell me, later ask my wife. Then she say can do x-ray today, put up a temp crown, then Thursday rush for the actual crown, she also suggested to get a teeth guard, so crowning around $1000 for some diamond don't know what material which looks similar to my teeth, and $250

Kind of Boring at Home

Usually on weekends me, wife and baby will go shopping and eat, so now they are in Thailand I'm staying home alone, really boring until today went back to office early morning and worked until 3pm+ even though today is a Saturday. Anyway next weekend me and parents will fly over to Bangkok, then get a flight to Udon Thani, think wife will find someone to fetch us to her home. Actually we can try staying in Udon, every time only pass by never explore, Udon is a huge place compared to tiny Singapore, so much to explore. But actually Singapore also kind of boring, so small, nothing much to explore, mostly man-made structures or greenery, even places like Pulau Ubin they turned it into some sort of tourist attraction, all the nature don't feel so nature, you might think I'm nuts but really, if you have a chance to visit my wife's hometown you will see true nature, mountain, vast greenery, waterfall, wooden house, bus stop in the middle of nowhere, always something new u

100% of Donations go to Charity?

Image
This morning when I went shopping for groceries, I was approached by this friendly young lad asking for my time to listen to him, as usual I was very skeptical when a stranger approach me, usually they are insurance agent, or property agent or just outright asking for money or cigarette. I listened to him since I was smoking, so he had as much time as my stick of cigarette burn. He is representing this Special Olympics Asia Pacific to publicly solicit for donations, and the money will go to helping people with special needs, he also gave me a leaflet showing people with down syndrome taking part in sports. And then finally he asked for donations in way of monthly contributions or one-off payment, I laughed because I totally expected it. Anyway I told him I don't have any confidence in donating because long ago I helped NKF source for donations end up they misuse funds, some more I collected from friends and colleagues so end it's like I'm scamming them. Ever sinc

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
