Tis is hilarious..

Actually..harr...Basicalllyyy

I was in Bangkok on business and met up with my friend. It was a great meet up after several years we didn't meet up.

One of his remarks is that I have becoming more Singaporean, which I wonder why he said that. Apparently most Singaporeans have the habit or the traits to talk like


"Actuariiii.......blah blah blah"

"Basicalliiiii.....blah blah blah."

Well, myself was not excuse of this boring engrish. Got to improve. Oh ya, learning Thai is fun.

You get better prices when you speak fluent Thai and you look like one. They got local Thai prices and Farang(ang mor) prices. We are the chinese farangs.

How to retrieve your luggage after you've check in

Another community service from me...

Lets say , you have checked in your luggage at Changi airport, and lets say you left your passport or you packed something in there that you want to take it out.

First of all, you got to go back to the check in counter and request for a retrieval. They will try to discourage you by telling you its 40 - 45 minutes long. In reality, it takes 15 - 20 minutes.

They will give you a slip, and then you have to go to the police post to get a police report.

Then, together with the police report, then only you goto the Lost and Found department. And there, you will retrieve your luggage.

Then after you get your stuff, you check it back in again.

PR Revoked ; then Renewed

Obviously I didn't listen to BeerBrat's community service regarding renewing my PR ...here . Procrastination.

My re-entry permit expired one day before I was to leave for Bangkok. And I didn't know until I was casually flipping through the pages of my passport on the way to the Airport. I was famous to blunder on small matters that people don't think it will happen to them, like the time i forgot my passport at the immigration checkpoint.

Anyways, I panicked. my flight is 2 hours away and the rest of flights were all fully booked. And I can't wait for tomorrow. So I tried calling a few friends including the Beer Kaki, but none of them is unsure what are the consequences. HEnce I approach the Immigration.

So, this is what will happen.

1. Your PR will be revoked once you exit Singapore without a valid re-entry permit. PR-ship does not expired but re-entry permit does.

2. Upon arrival back in Singapore, you are considered a visitor which you have the number of days stays limited accordance to your citizenship. Malaysian have 14 days.

3. You may re-apply for your PR ship back but its subject to approval case to case basis, and you have to bring all the relevant documents as stated by BeerBrat's post.

4. A $50 sgd fine will be imposed upon approval.

5. You are required to fill in a form to indicate you understand the above conditions.

Knowing my consequences, I still exit the country and got my PR and re-entry permit renewed when I got back. It just takes a little bit longer than BeerBrat's experience. They need to get some officer to review my case before they approve. I heard some are required to attend a interview. Guess I am just lucky.

So to my PR friends, remember to renew your Re-Entry Permit, not everyone is as lucky as me hor...

S.H.I.T.

Interestingly, one of my frequent blogs, I came across this post bout SHIT.

Manure... A True Story

Manure: In the 16th and 17th centuries, everything had to be transported by ship and it was also before commercial fertilizer's invention, so large shipments of manure were common.

It was shipped dry, because in dry form it weighed a lot less than when wet, but once eater (at sea) hit it, not only did it became heavier but the process of fermentation began again, of which a by product is methane gas. As the stuff was stored below decks in bundles, you can see what could (and did) happen.

Methane began to build up below decks and the first time someone came below at night with a lantern, BOOOOM! Several ships were destroyed in this manner before it was determined just what was happening!

After that, the bundle of manure were always stamped with the term "Ship High In Transport" on them, which meant for the sailors to stow it high enough off the lower decks so that any water that came into the hold would not touch this volatile cargo and start the production of methane.

Thus evolved the term "S.H.I.T", (Ship High In Transport) which has come down through the centuries and is in use to this very day. You probably did not know the true history of this word.

Seriously I'm trying to hold back my tears....

Just watch it...

e.g , i.e

Ever wonder what E.g. and I.e. stand for?

It trickles my curiosity bone, so I googled it up.

e.g. = exempli gratia ( Latin , ya..see the italic..they always use italic for Latin)

i.e. = id est ( also Latin)

..my curiosity expands..

B.C. is before Christ....A.D. ? its anno domino means the Year of the Lord. B.C.E. ( Before Common Era ) and C.E. ( Common Era ) meant the same respectively.

And...anymore..yes..

a.m. means ante meridien (before noon) and p.m. means post meridien ( after noon )

feeling satisfaction to know what has been abbrevating out daily usage of words.

Remember the Name

Kinda like this song, and find that its really true.


This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!

Who wants the MP3, let me know. Enjoy the video.

Dad's Fashion

Was watching a late night show , and Jerry Seinfeld was on it and he shared a joke.

Ever wonder why most fathers' attire are always so old fashion. They may be fashionable during their time or happening, but once they reach fatherhood, somehow the fashion stops there. So they clothed themselves the same style when you or your brother were borned. Quite true , ain it.

I just love how Seinfeld see's things.

Pooh...

Some crude jokes. read with caution.
