We went resale in Bishan two years back, paid about 680k for a 4-room and yes it hurt compared to a BTO. But we moved in within 3 months, no…

Did ours for roughly this range and yes it's doable, but 250 guests at a hotel banquet is the exact combo that blows budgets. Here's the rea…

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…

After years of trial and error at my Ghim Moh and Old Airport Road runs, the sweet spots are around 11am to 11.20am for lunch, and 5.30pm fo…
