We went resale in a mature estate (Bishan) in 2024 and I don't regret it, even though we paid COV of about 30k on top. The math: BTO would h…
Just got married, so fresh numbers. The banquet is the monster, hotel per-table costs are high and you're often expected to invite a big gue…
Stayed too long under a toxic boss once, and it cost me more than the good pay was worth, so hear me out. First, separate the fixable from t…
