From my experience, what you're describing sounds a lot like burnout, and losing interest in things you used to enjoy is a real warning sign…

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…

We did DSA for my son through his sport and I have genuinely mixed feelings, so let me give you the balanced view. The upside is real, he se…

I took a counteroffer once and regretted it within 8 months. The raise was real but the reason I wanted to leave, a manager who overloaded m…

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…

We went resale precisely because we didn't want to rent and burn money for 4 years. Do the math properly: renting a decent flat is easily 2.…

Push back, but do it smart. Variable bonus is discretionary so you can't demand it, but you CAN make your manager go to bat for you. I did t…

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…

Did ours recently, so real numbers-ish. The big buckets: banquet (usually the biggest, hotel vs restaurant vs void deck changes everything),…

My go-to reset is a day cycling the whole Coast-to-Coast trail or the Round Island Route stretches, then ending at a hidden coffeeshop for a…

Been through many reservist IPPTs from a desk-job body, here's the efficient approach for the 3 stations (push-ups, sit-ups, 2.4km run). Giv…

Mixed feelings after 5 cycles. The camaraderie is genuinely the best part, you reconnect with a bunch of guys you'd never otherwise see, and…

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…

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…

Had a confinement nanny for my first, mum for my second, both worked but for different reasons. The nanny was worth every dollar for a first…

I'll be honest, I let mine sit for years thinking it was too small to matter, then finally used it and regretted waiting. I did a part-time …

Not overreacting, 3 hours daily commute is 15 hours a week, basically two extra unpaid workdays of your life. That's a legitimate quality-of…

Been retrenched twice, survived both, so breathe, you will be okay. Practical first steps in order. One, get everything in writing: your ret…

Went through almost the same thing. First, keep everything in writing, WhatsApp and email are fine as evidence. Send a firm but polite writt…

We did grandparents for the first year then infant/childcare after, and I'd recommend that combo if your parents are willing and able. Reaso…

With AL 12 your daughter is in a solid range and has good options, but strategy matters under the new system. Remember posting is by school,…

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,…

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 from banking ops to UX design at 34, now 38. Things I wish I knew: one, your savings runway matters more than your passion. I had 1…

I took over a stall at 29 and I'll give you the completely unfiltered version. The romance dies on week one when you realise the day starts …
