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…
Not unreasonable at all, 3 hours of daily commute is 15 hours a week of unpaid life, that's a real pay cut in time. But don't quit on emotio…
Congrats on ORD. Straight answer: after your full-time NS you serve as an Operationally Ready NSman for a number of years, during which you …
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…
I keep waiting and Grab-ing, and for us it mathematically wins by a mile. We spend maybe 400 a month on Grab and public transport combined, …
I've learned to split my bonus with a simple system: a chunk to debt or mortgage if any, a chunk to long-term investing, a chunk to savings,…
Registered mine once it got serious, here's what I learned. Two separate things people confuse: 1) ACRA business registration, generally req…
Been through PSLE twice with my two kids. The biggest thing that saved us was accepting early that PSLE is not the end of the world, and act…

After years of hawker hunting, my tells: 1) uncle/auntie queue over tourist queue, if the office crowd and neighbourhood aunties queue, it's…

My method is to look at the details. A good stall usually specialises in just one or two dishes rather than a huge menu, because focus means…
ABSD 20% is a huge upfront drag and it completely changes the math from the old days. On a $1.5M condo that's $300k in ABSD alone, on top of…

Bought a resale last year, went through the COV drama. Few things that actually work: one, get your own valuation done first via HDB after y…
