HR-side experience here, so let me demystify it. For fresh grads, yes you can negotiate, and no, a reasonable ask will almost never make the…
Switched to SIM-only three years ago and never going back. Do the actual sum: a "free" phone on contract is baked into a higher monthly (eas…

Been through five reservist cycles now with kids, and the mental shift that helped me most was treating it as a forced two-week detox rather…
We took non-mature in Punggol back when it was still ulu and full of construction dust. First two years I complained non-stop, no proper cof…

Went poly (design-related) after O levels despite parents pushing JC, now working in the field and happy. Here is the honest breakdown. JC i…
Whole experience depends massively on the landlord type. Live-in landlord means cheaper sometimes but more rules and less privacy. Fully ten…

Mid-40s, used both my base credit and the mid-career top-up wisely, here is my take. The top-up (the bigger one for those 40 and above) is s…
