$CRO Appeared for No Reason

Image
https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2022/06/won-9422996747-cro.html Hmm, I just checked my Crypto.com exchange wallet, 142++ $CRO appeared out of nowhere, I checked transaction history but didn't find anything. Now that I recall, last month also same, cannot find anything in transaction history and I thought it could be from the trading competition or a mistake, but doesn't seem to be a mistake because they didn't revert, or maybe it is some sort of silent monthly reward just for trading in the exchange? I did make quite a number of trades in May and Jun, but it's not as much as earlier months though, they didn't silently reward me for the earlier months haha. Anyway, I'll just leave it there for 1-2 days, see if they revert, if no, then I'll just take it.

No News from Binance

https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2022/06/applied-for-job-at-binance.html I applied for a job at Binance two days ago, still no news yet, hmm, I think maybe because they are such a huge organisation so they probably have tons and tons of applicants, or maybe they don't need my skillset haha. Well they did mention "Please note we aren't able to respond to all applications." in the email. I'm thinking if tomorrow still no news, maybe just turn on my Jobstreet profile and let the recruiters help me look for job, so many companies and positions I also don't know where to start but I do know the recruiters are pretty on the ball, I believe they get a commission for every successful hire.

Home Loan Interest Rate Up

" "Singapore corporates and households should brace for a big interest rate shock , as Singapore short-term interest rates will move sharply higher given the Fed’s aggressive rate hikes" "Mortgage rates could climb to about 4 per cent by year-end – levels not seen for almost two decades. Rising financing costs will likely eat into consumer budgets and cool the property market." If you look at the following link, the curren

45 Years Jail

https://www.todayonline.com/singapore/record-45-years-jail-paedophile-raped-8-children-1933611 "Two of his eight victims were only five years old when he began raping them. This typically took place in their own homes, his home or in public locations such as toilet cubicles in malls." Wah seh, first time I see 45 years jail in Singapore, but after reading the whole article, I think it's a waste of taxpayer money to feed him for 45 years, just hang this bastard. This guy really scum of the earth, preying on 5 year old kids, wtf.

Sad Story of Difficult to Get Along

https://tnp.straitstimes.com/news/singapore/grandfather-84-and-granddaughter-14-found-dead-bukit-batok "...the girl was a Secondary 2 student who lived with her parents and grandfather." Somehow I feel a connection to this story. I imagine 7 years forward my daughter would be in Secondary 2, my parents would be in their 70s, we would have moved to Tengah, me, my wife and daughter would have our own 3-room flat, my parents would have their own 2-room flat right next door, I strongly believe this is the best outcome. There is a Chinese saying: 相见容易相处难 Directly translated it means: easy to meet, difficult to get along with Based on my personal traumatic experience, I can tell you this saying is very true. One year meet a few times versus everyday meet is very different. When me and wife were still living with my parents, every 2-3 days get into conflict over the smallest things, sometimes between my wife and my mother, sometimes between my wife and my sister, most of the time be

Koufu @ Tanglin Halt is Nuts

https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2022/06/inflation-is-ridiculous.html Just a few weeks ago, I felt the inflation when I bought the economy rice at Koufu, today my wife went to the same stall to buy one plate of rice, 3 veggies and 1 sotong, SG$7.60. Sotong only 3 pieces, have no idea how they charge. Then when I buy the drinks, one iced milo and one Fanta grape for SG$3.80, wah seh, even if the iced milo is SG$2, then SG$1.80 for the Fanta grape is crazy. I think we will avoid the Koufu from now on, it's just ridiculous the way they increase prices, just eat at hawker or cook at home way cheaper, I always prefer hawker food anyway, that Koufu happen to be more convenient because it is right beside the Sheng Siong. At the same time I wonder what our government is doing about this inflation, found this post:  https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/government-economy/singapore-to-release-s15b-support-package-as-energy-prices-stay-high I wonder how much it will help, will Koufu ch

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
