Fish & Chicks Big Servings

Image
$27.90 including delivery charge can choose 3 sides for the 2 fish and 1 whole spring chicken. The chilli crab sauce and the salted egg sauce is super power. The spring chicken larger than I thought, one person eat I think half full already. And it is juicy and crispy, batter slightly much though, and quite oily, must eat with soda or green tea to wash down the grease. Overall good eat, must try.

Singaporean Fighting for ISIS

Source First thing that comes to my mind is eat too full nothing better to do, life in SG too good, have to go fight for a foreign organization that has absolutely nothing to do with us. Don't understand what these people are thinking, why not sign-on army if he loves military, oh he want to see real action, ok, movies also can see, why have to go there and be rambo. If he die there nobody will care actually, but now that he is there, probably won't come back, even if come back will get jailed or closely monitored by ISD, really jiak liao bee.

Be Careful of My Data Manager App

It is a great app to keep one updated on data usage for free. But recently they added this new feature which enables the app to track app data usage by going through some VPN, today my wife said her data plan exceeded limit by 0.5 GB, what a shock, yesterday used only 800+ MB today overshot by 500+ MB. Anyway lucky I never turn on the VPN thing, yesterday I turned on for wife, didn't think it would eat up so much data so fast. So if you use My Data Manager app, do not turn on the VPN, want to track data usage actually iOS also can track, see I hand itchy go and turn on, now have to pay extra money as a lesson. Lucky Starhub cap data usage to $10.70 per GB, heng ah, if not count by their 0.0107 cents per KB it will be $50+!

iOS11 Looks Stylo

Yesterday I help to troubleshoot wife's iphone because of apple id issue, saw a very different interface, end up is because she updated to iOS11, not sure how she did though, my iphone never prompt me to update. Now I plug in to computer, connected to itunes then it prompted me to download and install, file size 2.47 GB. Any problem with iphone just plug in to itunes, it always save the day. iOS11 feels more smooth and clean, noticed some new features, haven't fully explore yet but now the space storage have more options, can list down by attachment and delete, this is very useful instead of going through each message. The control centre also seems more customizable.

Deliver Food by Walking?

Source They actually call it UberEATS for Walkers which is super obvious lol, at first thought it's a stupid joke but it's real, searched online and found quite a number of blogs with people really doing it, even got news report on it. Seems like it is something Uber started this year, they pay people to pick up and deliver food on foot. Looking at the information so far, their app will try to match "delivery partners" which is the person doing delivery to a close pick up location and a close delivery location. One trip is like $5 to $6, I wonder if there is anyone who do it full-time, if do 10 trips a day $50-$60 also not bad, but wonder if there is enough demand for delivery, that's why need more lazy people to support this market, seems like laziness is also a good thing for business lol. Or maybe some people busy until cannot go out to eat, for me if really so busy I just don't eat, no mood how to eat. Maybe after I quit my shit job I can try thi

Did Something Crazy Today

Today got so fed up with work I sent my boss resignation notice, told him my last day of work is 17 Oct because 18 Oct is public holiday. Now he is on overseas leave, I think he will probably get a shock when he see my email lol. The trigger point is an email from my boss's boss, because my boss is on leave so B2 have to cover him. B2 complimented me for "taking ownership of the issue", which he was referring to our systems slowness since last week. Even though it is a compliment, deep down I thinking kan nin na why am I the only person to take ownership of the issue, the slowness does not just affect my system, it also affects another system, and I am supposed to take charge and deal with all the shit myself, wtf right. Other people have deadlines, as if I don't have? This is not the first time, there is a limit to how much shit a person can take, I don't know how to quantify but I guess this is it. Well to be fair at least B2 was present during all the big

Handyman Came to My House

Previously mentioned that my kitchen is ugly, I booked an appointment with singaporehandyman.com, they never confirm but came anyway, think their office cock up. So this morning two guys suddenly appeared, both were very polite and professional. In less than 15 minutes they did the measurements, took photos, I asked for two quotes, one is to replace the whole table top and the sink but the whole middle piece of wood also have to remove. Another option is to just replace the sink and the broken door and put silicone to the leaks. Just to highlight that have to pay $25 for the site measurement, but later can refund if I accept their quotation. Monday they send me the quotes then see how.

Kitchen So Ugly!

Image
After 3 years+, things start to fall apart, see the wall so ugly, the water leaking, the cabinet door also broken. Now looking for someone to help me fix, went to IKEA end up they use external contractor to do these stuff, they only sell the products, install or dismantle they outsource, pricing also not cheap, dismantle 4-7 feet cabinet $250, longer more expensive. If you interested you can ask them for a price list, they have a list of how much they charge, they don't make it openly available, but can ask for a copy. Just ask for onsite measurement, or dismantle charge. Anyway who got good company to recommend let me know, thanks. If can just fix the cabinet door and replace sink good enough, but if cannot repair have to change whole cabinet also can, just need to change bottom. Actually I prefer those integrated type of sink, no need to worry about the silicone wear off and leak water. Behind also leaking, so those type behind raised up is better. This one done by my fathe

Home-cooked Nasi Lemak

Image
Wife cook, power. Actually nasi lemak quite similar to Thai food, a lot of Thai food also put coconut milk so nasi lemak was easy for wife to pick up, actually nasi lemak nothing much, just put coconut milk with rice, anyone also can cook, it's the chilli that is more tricky, different people cook different taste, some very thick and dry, some more saucy like my wife cook, I prefer saucy type.

Somebody Told Me No Smoking Within 5 Metres of Bus Stop

Na beh after work want to relax enjoy a smoke also difficult, was smoking near the bus stop, this guy told me no smoking within 5 metres of bus stop, I count from the shelter is definitely more than 5 metres, then he pointed to the bus stop pole just in front of me, kan nin na, like that also can, I also not sure actually count from where, just keep quiet and moved elsewhere to smoke as I don't want to argue. I thinking all this kind of no smoking rules really retarded, if really don't want people to smoke, why not just ban sales of tobacco, problem solved? No, government on one hand want to earn big bucks, the other hand want to come up with this kind of stupid rules to entertain the non-smokers. One pack you imagine they tax how much, cost price say $3 per pack, they tax probably $9, they earn $9 per pack, where to find such good deal. If they ban, I don't smoke, simple. And the non-smokers some also one kind, they think the smoke from tobacco is bad, imagine they s

Thai Yentafo @ NUH

Image
Today bring wife and baby to NUH so tried out this new eatery on the way. One bowl of yentafo is $8.50. The iced coffee is $3.50. Note that their price is inclusive of GST and no service charge, or probably they already lumped together but price is alright. Taste quite good, but not as good as those in Bangkok, not bad though, can try. I wanted the Thai iced milk tea but don't have so ended ordering the Thai iced coffee, also good.

Today Met a Hungry Ghost

Wife wanted to eat Korean BBQ so we went to the Ssikkek at Chinatown. Today don't know why so packed but I guess mostly are foreigners, looked like tour groups and foreign students. When I was trying to get some mashed potatoes, got this foreign woman, dressed quite formal, like a proper dress but kind of old fashioned type, like 1980s or 1990s kind of dress. She kept pushing me, as if the food will run away, I got fed up and turned around and told her to stop pushing. She just smiled, I don't even know if she understood me, or it's just perfectly normal to push people from where she came from, no apology, just a stupid smile, great. I know which country she is from, can tell from her language, but I don't want to name it, no point. My opinion is that if foreigners want to come, no problem at all, always welcome, but don't bring along bad habits, you can push people over food in your own country I don't care but here in Singapore people don't do that, so

Wow, Country Never Forget Me

Today received a letter about NS50 package, they giving out $100 voucher and a 1 year complimentary Safra membership for people who are serving or have served NS, really touched my heart. The Safra membership is not auto-renewable so it's a good thing, just try 1 year, no use just let it expire, nothing to lose. The really good thing is the $100 voucher, it's as good as giving out $100 cash because can use at a lot of places, Fairprice and Sheng Siong, so just imagine buying $100 of groceries, diapers, milk powder etc.

Sakae Sushi Weekend Buffet

Today went to their Marina Square branch and realized they have buffet on weekends. The link to their website. $28++ for adult seems like a good deal, I think not limited to any colour plate, if two adults including service charge and GST will be around $65.52. End up we ate ala carte $65.35, almost the same price. If big eater buffet definitely more worth it.

Feels Better, Went Shopping

Image
My rashes are mostly gone, don't feel super itchy now, I think it is the heat. I tried using Dove shower foam and put on palmer's cocoa butter cream, it actually helps with the itch, so most likely it is dry skin. I also eat fish oil, drink prune juice to try to clean out whatever crap is in my body, somehow now feels better. So today went to eat my favourite curry chicken at Bao Today. After that bought a 2-in-1 vaccum cleaner, it is the standing type, can also remove and become a hand-held, good for cleaning those smaller areas, especially mattress and sofa because baby like to eat and drop everywhere. Bought for $225 at Gain City. The suction very powerful, damn useful.

Went to Bed 11 PM, Wake Up 12 PM

Yesterday 11PM ate 1x 25mg Hizin and went to bed, only felt legs a bit light other than that still don't feel as sleepy as doctor suggested (she said if eat 1 cannot wake up then eat half, I suppose it is some strong drug). 11.30PM ate another 25mg, felt a little more kick but still not sleepy. 12AM ate another 25mg, this time felt sleepy, itch on arms felt less intense. Somehow woke up at 1.30AM, felt super drowsy but notice that the burning sensation on both arms were gone, rash seems to have subsided significantly. Thought might as so ate another 25mg and went back to bed. Total ate 100mg of Hizin. I read online 100mg is for sedation. I managed to sleep until 6AM+ and got woken up by intense itching all over, especially arms and lower back, like kena bitten by thousands of big red ants. Really at a loss of what to do, pace back and forth between kitchen and living room, thinking want to drop by polyclinic before they open. I then tried eating 1x Telfast 180mg and 2x Predniso

Super Itchy Rash

Image
Last Monday I saw a GP for a patch of rash on my tummy, actually it has been there for quite some time, probably several months, lost count, but got so large and itchy until I cannot take it then I go see the doctor. Other than the rash at tummy, my torso, back, arms, fingers and legs also felt a bit itchy, but not as itchy as tummy. The itch at tummy can be described as super itchy, takes a hell lot of willpower not to scratch it, the rest kind of random, come and go type so still quite bearable. The doctor thinks it is my belt buckle, mine is a metal buckle, not sure exactly what material though, he advised me to change to plastic buckle, gave me some Telfast and Melomet, told me to make sure I apply the cream. I did as he advised, changed to a plastic hook kind of belt (improvised by wife), put on the Melomet cream as prescribed, now the tummy itch is totally gone and the skin area seems to be recovering. The Telfast didn't help with the body itch though, still the same after

Brinda's Indian Food @ Bukit Merah Central

Chicken briyani set $8.80 comes with drink, a big piece of chicken, fragrant briyani rice, veggie yogurt, curry sauce and spiced crackers, quite power. The service staff also very friendly, I asked for iced milo, told me they don't sell iced milo, then she suggested how about a cup of ice with hot milo, I said no thanks but I really appreciate something out of the ordinary, totally didn't expect that. Oh by the way in the restaurant they have hot water dispenser, really helpful, you don't see this much in Singapore, probably never.

NEA Called Me

Previously I mentioned about the solar powered CCTV behind my block, I thought it was installed by NEA, but today one of their officers called me regarding the case that I lodged, asked him and he said not that he know of, he also mentioned theirs is like the LTA type, don't know what LTA CCTV looks like though. I told him the littering happens every few days, but as I'm not home in the day so I don't really know which unit did it. My wife also don't actively check the window to try to catch the culprit, kind of no point if it is two units away, can't see also. The officer mentioned that they will conduct house visits to the units above me, eventually they will install the CCTV. He said actually they did conduct house visits earlier but the owners never open the door. I think if this time still cannot reach the owners they will probably go ahead and install the CCTV.

Just Another Weekend

Image
Went shopping with wife and baby, found this store at Anchorpoint where they sell baby products. They have this high-definition TV with blu-ray quality cartoon, really great idea, can keep the kids occupied while we do our shopping. Kids when they get around age 2+, start to get restless, everything must touch, everywhere must explore, so inquisitive, sometimes can keep crying and throwing tantrum if they get fixated on something, such as a toy, a ride or a cute looking chocolate, especially that damn kinder bueno egg. Wonder how was I behaving when I was her age.. Anyway bought some BBQ ribs and huge dogs at cold storage, quite nice, not the best but ok for the price.

Back Feels Better

After sleeping on new bed for 2 nights, the pain on lower left back is much lessened, now tingles a bit but feels so much better. This made me realize that the bed is a very important item, should never ever scrimp on this, expensive never mind most important is good quality and durable. Next time if move house I'm going to get a good bed, full latex bed, maybe buy from USA and ship here, think might be cheaper than buying in SG.

Bought New Mattress at IKEA

My lower left back keeps hurting, think it is from the cheap ti lam, now I never kena the super jia lat back pain but always have this pain at left area all the time. The last major back pain was in Feb 2016 , ti lam works to solve the major back pain but cause long-lasting pain, sigh. Or maybe the ti lam too cheap, too soft, can actually feel my backbone touching the floor. So since I got my bonus, instead of spending it on a laptop which I don't really need, might as well get a proper mattress, ended up deciding to check out IKEA since it is near my home. Before going I did some research on mattress, seems like latex is the best but it is more expensive. Note that there are different types of latex, natural is the best and most expensive. There are also synthetic and blended latex, I think these could be cheaper options. But online some people say synthetic can get very warm. There's also foam or spring mattresses, spring confirm out, reason is because kids like to jump

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
