Went through almost the same thing. First, keep everything in writing, WhatsApp and email are fine as evidence. Send a firm but polite writt…
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…
I deliberately went slow on CPF top-ups in my early 30s and I don't regret it, different philosophy. My reasoning was that in my 30s I value…

I did poly (engineering) then got into local uni, so it's very doable if your GPA is good. The framing 'JC is faster' is true but faster isn…
I interview candidates regularly, so here's what I actually think when I ask this. I'm not expecting a fairy tale, I know most people leave …
We went BTO and I'd do it again, but only because we had a place to stay while waiting. We stayed with my in-laws for the build period, whic…

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…
