The Curse of the Plnk Ranter

pizza + wings delivered! blackjack was one of the only ones who would take my card. i think it was a zip code issue, US is 5 numbers, SG is 6.

geez, you guys all sick ! Sowwy

Since we are talking periods..mine have been sparse ...as in...every 55 days on average...sigh

mine are pretty irregular too...sometimes 4 weeks in between, sometimes 10 weeks, i can never really tell.

There aren't too much Chinese medicine that's genuinely good #######....

Dang gui is one of them.

Zheng guo shui is another

Tiger balm....

And a few other thangs....

speaking of herbal remedies, my mom used to make me drink hot chocolate with a raw egg stirred in to help with cramps. SO GROSS.

tiger balm is distributed by a singapore company. the home of the tycoons who run the business, haw par villa, was turned into a pseudo theme park for a while and now has something like 2-3 visitors/day on average lol. they do have a cool little walk-through exhibit of the 10 stages of hell that is pretty hilariously gory though.

it started when I got here. And I know I should but I got no insurance so it will have to wait.

I was on birth control for 2 years until I started getting major headaches so I got off it in May last year took about 2 months before I got my periods then it was normal for a month and then I flew here. I gotta say though I was extremely anxious coming over and it never really went away...for obvious reasons...so I guess it could be that...I dunno.

*fingers crossed for a job and insurance soon*

tiger balm is the bomb. helped my pulled muscle after training.

looks odd but i bet its good.

sidenote: coconut oil arrived today in a broken jar. I took whatever I could out of the jar without glass getting into it, getting refund.

birth control does weird things to me too! i feel irate, unfocused, sometimes even nauseous after taking it. i tried switching brands but the symptoms were the same. still on the search for something that will not make me feel gross.

ok shoot

[SAT 9,609]

ok....when I was in Malaysia. Tiff had a couple of friends that returned to her village from Singapore.

They discussed many things. There were 2 friends that worked in Singapore, with a high school diploma.

One told Tiff that she was earning 50k SGD a year? And I'm like...no way! not for a malaysian worker in the hotel service field...I thought she was kinda....braggy.....

Tiff, blindly believes everyone of her firends...

Now I'm a pretty worldly guy. Know a lot about nations, politics, economy. I know Singapore is good. But so is America. And a foreign worker here from Malaysia ain't earning 50K....

Now please educate me.

Tiff has a friend here from Malaysia- Tiff told me "She comes from money, her husband is rich, has a tire shop in KL"

1 year later, that friend's husband is here waiting tables....

Well na na na na I never have to use any form of birth control ever again.

Anything over 40 days cycle wise is considered bad, for the record.

whadahela you talking about?

You dun have to use birth control to begin with....I thought you want like a dozen kids....

You snake wrangler...

Really depends on what she was doing - housecleaning obviously not but perhaps in an executive/managerial position...still that is really kind of on the high side, especially for the hospitality industry. 99% certain she was lying exaggerating.

maybe they meant 50K in ringgit then it's possible

Thank you. Because I know...for 50K a Singapore company can hire a Singaporean!

She's like a house keeper.

There was another cousin, nice girl. Said she's making 45K in like the beauty field. She said she wants to come to the US to work. I said, "hey if you're making 45K here, don't bother coming to the US, because you're not getting close to it."

next question to Kit.....

What kind of work permits are they on? live in Johor, work in Singapore. Can they become PRs?

One friend, the braggy one, also indicated that she wants to come to the US. Talks a lot of hot air. I'm like, can you even get a visa?

Well, you know he only agreed to 4 more, so at some point I might have had to. I never had to really with the Swede either.... the joys of being with Scandinavian men?

It should have dawned on me when I never saw a couple with more than 2 children in Denmark....

Why? Scandinavian dudes cant get it up? There's a Chinese medicine for that too

Actually, I've a couple of Norwegian friends, they are fully aware that they're being bred out. I think in 100 years, there are no more Scandinavians

Oh, here's the little pirate kid

if they paid that much even for singaporeans, i'd have skipped out on school to be a house keeper too.

the highest i've seen for people in the service industry is an ad for a dishwasher at 36K a year (about 3 times the going rate).

OK, so I can say more likely, they're earning in the 20K range...and honestly, I think that's a high estimate. I mean, the whole friggin point of allowing work visas is to get cheap labor.

the chinaman construction worker in Singapore get what? 1200 a month?

there's 2 kinds open to malaysian non-degree holders, work permits and S pass, depending on their qualifications and the industry they want to work in. there *is* also an EP/employment pass but that is harder to come by and has a much higher qualifying income threshold.

[SAT 9,609]

and can you really get 36K a year as a dishwasher in Singapore? no way Jose....
