HR manager here, and asking is normal, not entitled, most people just do it badly. What works: come with a business case, not a grievance. D…
I took over my family's stall, so let me be blunt: the romantic image is mostly a myth. The hours are brutal, we're at the market before daw…
I was unfit and dreading it too, but honestly BMT was more manageable than I feared. If you're really out of shape you might be posted to a …
Did ours recently, so real numbers-ish. The big buckets: banquet (usually the biggest, hotel vs restaurant vs void deck changes everything),…
I enlisted at 78kg overweight, went into the Physical Training Phase (PTP) first for the extra two months before BMT proper. Honestly that P…
My underrated pick is Coney Island plus the Punggol waterway area, we cycled the whole stretch and packed our own food, spent almost nothing…
I've been through PSLE with two kids and the second time was much calmer because I stopped micromanaging. Kids can't focus when a parent is …
Two kids, so I know this well. Two separate things. One, the Baby Bonus Cash Gift is paid out to you in instalments over the early years, st…

Regular JB-goer here, worth it IF you play the timing game, brutal if you don't. My rules: go on a weekday if you can, never Saturday mornin…
We went through this and what saved us was honesty early rather than letting assumptions build. My wife spoke to her parents directly and lo…
Switched to an MVNO two years ago and never looked back. The digital-only telcos like the ones riding on the big networks give you 100GB-plu…
HR here. Never give a single number, give a researched range and anchor to market. My script that works: "Based on my research for this role…

In practice AWS (Annual Wage Supplement) and 13th month are the same thing, one extra month of basic salary paid usually in Dec. The naming …
