Wow, My One and Only SingPost Lost $8484.10

Looks like it is performing really badly, paper loss of $8484.10 lol, and my all time earnings totally gone. All Time Performance Cost 38,124.641 Market Value 32,517.09 Gain -5,607.55 (14.71%) Current Performance Cost 41,001.191 Market Value 32,517.09 Gain -8,484.10 (20.69%) So now if have money maybe can put into my DBS Multiplier Account instead, maybe half save another half average down on SingPost, 500 shares at a time, because I like the idea that they try to step out of their comfort zone and move into e-commerce. I must be crazy lol.

Chipped Tooth Feels Ok Now

In April this year, my top left second molar chipped off during sleep, good thing I never went for the crowning because now it feels normal already, no more sensitivity or pain. Now overall my teeth also not so sensitive because that time the dentist cleaned my teeth, didn't know dirty teeth can also cause sensitivity, so it's good to go for cleaning at least once a year just to get rid of teeth sensitivity. But first 1-2 months the chipped tooth will feel pain and sensitivity on and off, by the 3rd month mostly gone, now coming 4 months totally normal. If that time do crowning and teeth guard will probably spend $1250 at least, saved that money. Also part of crowning the dentist need to trim the tooth, online sources say it will weaken the structure of the tooth, I think in olden days when dentistry was not as advanced or accessible, when people chip their tooth they probably also leave it to heal by itself. I believe the pain and sensitivity comes from the gums around th

British Pork Chops Slapped Bali Immigration Officer

Image
Source This pork chops named "Auj-e Taqaddas" slapped a Bali immigration officer after she was stopped from boarding a flight to Singapore, I hope she gets jailed and never enter our country, just throw her into the sea will do, don't waste jail space or food, she looks overfed anyway. She overstayed in Bali, was barred from boarding the flight, probably also refusing to pay her fines for overstaying, and then she slapped a uniformed officer, how did this animal run loose in the first place, plus she doesn't even sound British, probably some trash migrant like that Amos Yee, but good thing that Amos is America's problem now, good riddance. I'm posting her photos here so she can be eternally famous on internet. Auj-e Taqaddas The Pork Chops

Opened DBS Multiplier Account

Image
The HR at my new job told me about the account and that people in the company were using it to credit their salary, actually I knew about the account because one or two years back I checked it out, I vaguely remember I didn't qualify or it sucked, so yesterday I went to DBS website to see what the hype is about and found that they revised the account, now it actually looks very attractive. I also found the following in their FAQ : So it looks like previously I didn't sign up because the interest rate was shit, have to transact $7500 a month to get 1.08%, otherwise just 0.05%. Based on the new structure I can get 1.9% for salary and credit card spending, or 2.2% if I buy stock via DBS Vickers, CDP dividend credit also count, wah not bad leh. Like that no need to think already, yesterday I went to ibanking and opened the account, online open is immediate, damn fast, then I also transferred some spare cash inside, nowadays so convenient open bank account at fingertip.

Uniqlo Online Store

Today I found that they have an online store, and free delivery for orders above $60. So I ordered two shorts for myself and two bras for my wife. I think Uniqlo is unique as in they have no shortage of customers because their products are very high quality, affordable and welcomed by different demographics, they probably came up with an online store to help with the crowds, because almost every time I went to their store it's packed. Some retail shops open online store because they don't have the crowd so going online is one way for them to stay alive. IKEA is another one, they only have two stores in SG, even weekdays you can see a crowd, especially at their restaurant which serves quality food at affordable prices.

Chicken King - Foodpanda

Image
For the pricing the portion and quality is more than decent, can feel that the chef really put in effort to cook properly, no wonder so many good reviews. Total including delivery is $33.60, if eat at Jack's Place or Swensen's like this minimum $50 or more after the service charge and GST. I wonder in future how will restaurants survive now that food delivery is getting popular, more affordable, more value for money, restaurant quality, and at your doorstep. King Size Striploin Steak - $15.80 Mixed Grilled Giant Sausage Combo - $14.80

Baby Fell and Hit Her Mouth

She was playing near my computer desk and suddenly she tripped and fell and started crying. Then wife noticed that baby's mouth was bleeding, the bleeding was from her upper lip and upper labial frenulum. I then examined her teeth, looks ok, only the labial frenulum tissue seems to be slightly torn, googled online most sources indicate that it's not a cause for concern and will heal by itself. Some people even had surgery to remove a frenulum if it is obstructing normal mouth functions. Sigh, small house so everything crammed together, I think because the bed was too close to the desk, she probably bounced and lost balance and hit the sharp corner of my desk. Hope I can get a bigger house so she can have her own room, now my flat only one bedroom so no choice she have to sleep with us.

Signed Letter of Appointment and Tendered Resignation

So today I accepted the new job, went down to their head office to sign the letter, contractual terms about the same as current company, actually overall not much difference, very standard stuff, only difference is about 4.9% higher salary. After that they briefed me on the company policies and systems, when to start and etc, also pretty standard stuff. Then after that since everything confirmed, I sent out the official resignation letter, one month notice, today 23 Jul tender means my last day is on 22 Aug, which happens to be a public holiday, so I guess my current HR will settle with me on 21 Aug instead. This is really destiny, I didn't plan for it but happen to be so zhun, this month have two public holidays, and both falls within my notice period and the last one is on my last day lol. The thing with resignation notice is that even public holiday also count in notice period. Now I'm looking forward to my new job, new place new people, hope many interesting things to

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.

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
