Getting Hazy Again

Today the haze seems to be the worse so far for this week, the burnt smell is stronger, I wonder where is burning, most likely our best neighbours are burning their forest again. Every year is the same, the same thing keep happening, not very good for health, everybody gets sick, now I'm a bit sick sigh.

Starhub $25 Sim Only Plan Looks Good

You might be thinking why Starhub haha, not that I own their shares but I have been using their services since the 1.5 Gbps cable days and so far I'm satisfied so don't really feel like switching. So when me and my wife's mobile contract expires, I will most probably switch to the $25 sim only plan, it will slash our mobile spending by slightly more than half, can save more money this way. About the mobile phone, currently we are using iPhone 8, so far it's still working fine unlike the iPhone 6 not even 2 years the battery going weak. If phone still working then no need to buy also, can save even more money, one iPhone also not cheap, or maybe in future can consider using those Android-based phones but I don't really like Android interface, still prefer iOS which is more intuitive.

Watch One Punch Man Manga Online

https://one-punchman.com/ While holidaying in Bangkok, and during free time in hotel room, I found this manga site to watch the ever popular One Punch Man manga, it's pretty good, managed to go up 101 chapters so far. In case you don't know what is One Punch Man, it's a story of an ordinary man who somehow got super strong, so strong that he can beat anything with just one punch hence the name One Punch Man. It may sound really boring with such a simple title but it's a really good manga, one of the funniest and epic. The anime is even better but it's coming out much slower than the manga so I decided to just read the manga instead. So if you haven't watched the anime or read the manga, please do, don't miss out.

Back from Bangkok Part 3 of 3

Image
Last hotel of the trip, Novotel Bangkok On Siam Square. Of the 3 hotels that we stayed, this is the most expensive. Price: 2 nights including all taxes was S$312.92, that's S$156.46 per night. For the price I think the Holiday Inn Bangkok Silom was way better overall and way cheaper. I guess Novotel is more expensive due to the really great location, it's all walking distance to the major malls and shopping areas, can even walk to MBK or the Erawan Shrine. Photos below. Not a great way to start the experience, see that black ant haha. For the pricing, they actually only provided a queen-sized bed, how disappointing, furthermore I booked a non-smoking room and they only had a smoking room with double bed; the one available non-smoking room had twin beds. Even though I'm a smoker, I find the room a bit smokey, wife was complaining but well not much of a choice. More expensive doesn't mean good. Overall the interior feels dated compared to Holiday Inn Ba

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
