Switched to an MVNO SIM-only plan two years ago, never looked back, but let me give the honest nuance. The MVNOs (the budget brands) actuall…
Bought at a high with a newborn, no regrets on the need, some regret on timing. Here's my honest take: COE is driven by quota supply and dem…
You generally cannot sell on the open market before MOP, full stop, that's the rule and there's no "penalty payment" workaround to sell earl…
Ran a noodle stall in a coffeeshop for three years, and let me kill the romance with real numbers first. Rent in a decent coffeeshop can be …
Cat owner in an HDB flat, and yes the landscape changed, so here is the practical picture. HDB moved towards allowing cats under a proper ca…

I did poly (engineering) then got into local uni, so it's very doable if your GPA is good. The framing 'JC is faster' is true but faster isn…
Helped a friend through this, and the biggest thing I learned: you don't need to fix it, you need to stay. What worked: 1) show up consisten…

We held off buying because of COE and instead use a mix of public transport, Grab and car-sharing, and it works for us. With two kids I unde…
Cleared IPPT after years of failing, so I feel your pain. Real talk: the RT (RT/FCC) is honestly not as scary as the dread. It is a fixed nu…
