Bought VANKYO C751 Headphone

https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2020/03/jbl-tune-500bt-arrived_7.html My JBL TUNE 500BT headphone spoil already after about one year of use. Problem is after power on, if shake a bit it will auto power off. The sound also a bit weird during online meeting, it will suddenly produce weird sounds, very disruptive. So I ordered the VANKYO C751 last Thursday and received it today, only 4 days. I paid S$73.36 which includes priority shipping. The new headphone feels solid, it covers my ears fully. Sound quality is good too. Only thing is Windows 10 doesn't show the battery indicator, but I guess this is Windows 10 problem. Now let's see how long this last. Update: The battery indicator in Windows 10 suddenly showed up, haha weird but it works. After a few days of use, find that the headphone feels much heavier, maybe need some getting used to.

Went for First Dose of Covid-19 Vaccine

Image
https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2021/06/received-sms-from-moh-for-covid-19.html So today went to the vaccination centre for my first dose, it's actually at a community centre. The vaccination centre is managed by Fullerton Health. My appointment was 9 AM, I reached there at around 8:20+, they let me proceed anyway. I must say they are very well organised, from entry to exit all very well executed. The whole process for me took around 45 minutes or less, which includes the 30 minutes observation time after the jab. I don't even need to know what to do, it's like a guided tour from start to finish. Just make sure you bring along your ID card and the TraceTogether Token or App. They will also ask for your SMS from MOH, just show it to them when requested. The jab itself is like any other jab that is not BCG, nothing special, less than 5 seconds settled, like a tiny pinch with fingernails, nothing to worry. I took two Panadol after I reached home even though I didn&

Received SMS from MOH for Covid-19 Vaccination

This morning I saw the SMS from MOH to inform that I can book appointment for vaccination. In the SMS there is a link to book the appointment. I followed the link and instructions, very straightforward. Have to book two appointments for two doses, so I booked this Sunday and the last Sunday of July. Wondering why my wife didn't receive any SMS, I think maybe because she didn't register interest, so just now I registered for her and baby, but I think there is no vaccine for 6 year old yet, but no harm registering anyway I guess.

Give Wrong Vaccine

https://www.todayonline.com/singapore/boy-16-remains-well-after-being-taking-moderna-vaccine-meant-for-18-and-above-thorough-review-done-moh Actually giving wrong vaccine is not uncommon in Singapore nor around the world, it also happened in our national immunisation programme too. In case you don't know what that is, see the link below. https://www.nir.hpb.gov.sg/nirp/eservices/immunisationSchedule Usually I heard kids accidentally getting extra dose, but always end up ok, the vaccines are actually very safe to use, I suppose extra dose means extra protection as long as it doesn't cause any adverse reaction. Anyway if the first dose is ok, subsequent dose should be ok too. For this particular case, it's not extra dose, it's still Covid-19 vaccination just that it's by a different manufacturer approved by US FDA. Safe or not safe for people below 18 years old nobody knows because their clinical trials are based on people 18 years or older. But like I mentioned, as l

Doesn't Seem to be Getting Better

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/singapore-detects-26-new-covid-19-cases-3-unlinked-081534535.html In general feels like more or less the same, still have lingering cases out there waiting to be discovered. I notice less people going out but more cyclists, I wonder if cycling will somehow catch the virus or not, I mean they are not wearing mask when cycling, or maybe unless some infected person sneeze or cough and then they happen to cycle through. Anyway still safer to stay home, but weather getting hot these days, gets sweaty fast but good thing there is always the air-con, no wonder I see so many people go to Sheng Siong to walk, but many weirdos these days, knowing the virus is spreading but still stand so close together, also stay away from weirdos to be safe.

18 Unlinked Covid Cases on 16 May 2021

https://www.moh.gov.sg/news-highlights/details/38-new-cases-of-locally-transmitted-covid-19-infection16may The unlinked cases seems to be getting higher, this is getting to be seriously worrying. An unlinked case means they cannot trace back to the person who spread it to the unlinked case. The person who spread to the unlinked case may not even know he/she is infectious i.e. asymptomatic case. It can be even worse if these people who have the virus goes on to spread to family, friends, co-workers, so good thing the government realise this and put a stop to this by heightening the measures, otherwise game over, we become the next India. I think to be safe, everybody should just stay home where possible, can work from home just work from home, can school from home also school from home, now dangerous thing is we don't know how widespread, especially when today is the day of heightened measure we still have morons refusing to wear mask or continue to gather in groups of more than 2,

Ordered a 钓鱼英雄 Toy for Baby

She saw this toy at a shop and took a photo, managed to find the exact one at Lazada, it's shipping from Taobao China, so probably going to take a while to receive. Total price is S$$20.39 including the delivery fee. My wife say the same toy is selling for S$30++ in Singapore, quite a difference if buy online. This is the link if you are interested:  https://www.lazada.sg/products/i1655986242-s7817824432.html

"Very Virulent" Variant of COVID-19 is Here? Now Then You Know

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/virulent-mutant-virus-changi-airport-defences-ong-ye-kung-062454364.html https://www.tnp.sg/news/singapore/p1-pupil-yio-chu-kang-school-tests-positive-covid Seems like getting worse, unlinked cases going up, and now government announced a phase 1 kind of alert, meaning default is work from home now, cannot eat out and etc, starting from 16 May to 13 Jun, but I don't quite understand why, because if they know it is serious enough to rollback, why not start immediately, I mean it already spread to mainstream schools, why give it chance to go further. I find that our government react too slowly, not decisive enough, wait too long to take action, when India started to have that massive outbreak in early April, we should have barred travelers from India immediately, see now getting worse, typical civil servants, you see me I see you wait for miracle to happen, try to solve one problem end up creating another problem, now going back to lockdown. Fed up.

Paramjeet Kaur - Sovereign Not a Person?

Image
https://sg.news.yahoo.com/jailed-sovereign-woman-breached-covid-19-regulations-101208206.html She then argues with a person off-screen, claiming, "I am a sovereign. This is something people are not going to know even what it is…It means I have nothing to do with the police…They have no say." A voice can be heard saying, "That does not even make any sense. If you are a person in Singapore, you have to follow the rules in Singapore." Kaur then replied, "I'm not a person." If she is not a person, then how come the news article still refer her as "woman", should be "it" right? So since she say she is not a person, so from here on I will refer her as "it" then. So "it" is a Singaporean, how did "it" get our citizenship since "it" is not a person? Let me see, "it" wants to enjoy the benefits of Singapore, but "it" don't want to follow our laws, and "its" argument is

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
