Next Week Hari Raya Puasa

Today go Sheng Siong quite a big crowd, I see some Malays bringing never-before-seen type of trolleys that's about twice as wide as the NTUC one which I have, wonder where they bought it from, actually very good idea can buy lots of stuff. I find Hari Raya Puasa very similar to Chinese New Year, one week before the actual day people will start to stock up on drinks and food, but Hari Raya Puasa feels more crowded compared to CNY, maybe because these days CNY becoming less significant, for me CNY is just like any other holiday, I think younger generation don't really care so much now. Then nowadays groceries also can buy online so not much of a point to go buy at supermarket and squeeze with the crowd. If no crowd still not too bad, but if crowded it can be very hectic because people tend to rush around.

My HDB Lease Expiry Date

Recently HDB flat lease keep coming up in the news, so now I'm wondering when my lease will expire. The lease start date for my flat is 01 Jan 1967. So 1967 + 99 is 2066, which mean that from 01 Jan 2066 HDB can take back my flat, which also mean the last day that I can stay is until 31 Dec 2065. In 2065 I would be 82 years old, wonder if I can live so long, my wife would be 79 years old. By then my daughter will probably have her own family, she would be 50 years old.

Fairprice Delivered to My Home

So yesterday I ordered some groceries  online , today they sent it over at around 8:35 PM, which was 35 minutes later than the scheduled 6-8 PM, but it's ok, it's just groceries so nothing time critical, anyway 35 minutes is not really a lot of time. Nowadays so convenient, can order just about anything online and have it sent to doorstep, especially groceries they have free delivery for orders over certain amount, Fairprice is $59 so it's really easy to buy over that amount. I will definitely buy from Fairprice online again ;)

"FairPrice On" Easy to Use

Image
FairPrice online website updated, seems to have much more items and very easy to use, as good as shopping at the retail shop. So I signed up for an account, they gave $10 discount voucher, I bought some stuff $98.10 so only have to pay $88.10. The really good thing is today order tomorrow can deliver, and they have several time slots to choose from, from morning 9am all the way to 10pm. And also delivery is free for orders over $59. I think order direct from FairPrice cannot go wrong, best is not go through that stupid dishonestbee who ruined my pizza.

Cough One Month Finally Getting Better

During my last holiday , my daughter passed her illness to me then I end up coughing for more than 3 weeks. I tried robitussin red, woods all no use, keep coughing all the time. They only gave very short relief but after a while the cough come back. So recently I tried the Huiji Herbalmint Cough Syrup now I feel so much better. Last time the robitussin works but now not effective anymore. I think if kena cough, good to buy different types of cough syrup, if one don't work try another one.

Apply BTO Before MOP

I have colleague, family and even some comments from this blog suggesting a possibility of applying for Build-To-Order (BTO) flat before fulfilling the Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) of 5 years, but based on what I interpreted from the HDB website some time back this doesn't seem to be the case, but I don't think so many people are suggesting it for no reason, so I decided to drop HDB an email to clarify. The following is their response: " Eligibility to buy an HDB flat Dear Sir   Thank you for your email of 19 May 2018. 2  You may wish to know that if you are living in the current resale flat bought on the open market (without CPF Housing Grant) you can submit a flat application for a project which has a Delivery Possession Date (DPD) on or after the 5 year Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) for your resale flat. For example, if the MOP for your resale flat ends in Mar 2022, you can apply for flat with a DPD on or after Mar 2022. 3  However, if your current resale flat boug

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
