Cross to JB almost monthly by car, so learned this the hard way. Timing is everything. AVOID Friday evening and Saturday morning going in, a…
Yes, the framework changed, cats are now allowed in HDB flats under a licensing scheme with a cap on the number per flat (there's a transiti…
I do both but split it, and the logic that helped me was thinking about which bucket of money it is. My CPF SA top-up is my bond allocation,…
Classic. Stop relying on the meeting to show your value, build a paper trail instead. Send project updates over email with senior people cc-…
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…
I held out for years taking Grab and MRT everywhere, then my second kid came and everything changed. Lugging a stroller, a diaper bag and a …
After getting retrenched and taking 5 months to find work, I now keep 9-12 months, not the textbook 3-6. Here's my reasoning and setup. In S…
First car surprised me with the recurring stuff, not the upfront. Things people underestimate: 1) parking, a season pass at home (HDB/condo)…
The OA-to-SA transfer is genuinely powerful because of compounding, but the word "irreversible" is doing a lot of work in your question. Rul…

We went resale in Bishan in 2023 because we simply could not wait 4 years, and I don't regret it, but the cash was brutal. The valuation was…

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…
