Carl's Junior Got Back to Me

So last weekend I ate one and a half raw chicken sandwich, good thing I didn't feel unwell, think my stomach very strong, must have killed all the bacteria, but anyway I feedback through the Carl's Junior website because I don't other people to eat raw chicken burger, I'm just lucky nothing happened to me but if it happens to someone else with a weaker stomach it can be life threatening. Then today one of their guys called me and apologized. I sent him the photos and receipt and he said he will go down to the store to investigate and then call me back. Later in the afternoon he did call back and told me he have already briefed the staff at the branch and he offered refund but I declined, told him it's good enough that he educated his staff but he insisted on providing some compensation in the form of voucher so I accepted. But thinking about it, remember the case where one guy had his limbs cut off after eating raw fish, heng I'm ok, different people

Beware of Carl's Junior "Chargrilled BBQ Chicken Sandwich"

Image
Yesterday I bought one "Original Thickburger" and two "Chargrilled BBQ Chicken Sandwich" from their Marina Square branch, the thickburger was amazing as usual, the chicken sandwich tasted alright but find it a bit chewy, the last chicken sandwich was for my wife, she didn't eat so I kept in the fridge. So today dinner she microwaved it, I took a big bite, then noticed the middle looked a bit weird, I thought it's some sort of meat glue, after I took a closer look found that actually it's still RAW!!! No wonder yesterday one so chewy, but lucky I didn't feel unwell, now feel really disgusted. I hope they don't sell this shit to other people, but probably many have already eaten their RAW Chicken Sandwich.

Went to Marina Square to See NDP Rehearsal

Image
Managed to get a view of the combat engineers floating platform, I used to be in the 35th Singapore Combat Engineers so this brings back a lot of memories. During my time it's not so advanced, have to manually build the platform part by part like building Lego, now it looks like 5 big trucks combined into one platform, all automated. Last time powered by tug boats to move around, now looks like the truck itself can control the movements. Now then realised actually very satki, definitely the coolest part of the entire NDP rehearsal but stand down there not easy, they probably have to stand there for hours.

SingHealth Data Breach

Image
Yesterday received a broadcast from boss, told to be on alert for the next few weeks, never really pay much attention because my thoughts all on my new job and interview, kept thinking about it because it seemed so unreal because so fast so furious lol. Anyway this morning when I checked the news, seems like quite a big incident, making headlines everywhere online, SingHealth even came up with an e-service to check whether my data was illegally accessed. SingHealth Website:  https://www.singhealth.com.sg/Pages/home.aspx Data Check:  https://datacheck.singhealth.com.sg My own data ok, probably because I hardly visit their clinic, mostly I visit GP. But my wife's data was illegally accessed: So according to the e-service, her name, NRIC number, address, gender, race and date of birth was accessed. Good thing is I don't see any contact info or financial info such as card number, anyway she also don't have credit card. Each field by itself is quite useless espec

Today Went for Interview

On Monday night I updated my jobstreet.com profile on a whim with one extra line of current job experience, actually quite outdated so haven't really update finish but anyway on the next day out of the blue a recruiter called me and asked if I was looking for a job, was quite surprised but I said yes, and he spoke to me about 3 openings and told me he will send my profile to the hiring companies. Then later in the day he told me I got selected for an interview by one of the companies and arranged the session for today. So today I went for the interview, took a one hour technical test, cannot use smartphone to google, it was some multiple choice questions on core Java and JEE which was quite alright, then have to write one line of Javascript to change an input value, this one I think I got it a bit wrong, who the heck in this day and age set the value this way, nowadays all using JQuery or some other JS libraries, some more ask me to use pen to write on paper, the only time I actu

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
