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…
Married across race and religion, ten years now, so this is lived experience. It works, but the early family part takes patience, not confro…
Depends entirely on your life stage and where you stay. When we had a newborn and stayed in a non-central area, the car was a lifesaver, no …

Negotiated up about 12 percent at a local SME last year. The trick with SMEs is they're less rigid but also more personal, so frame it right…
Consider the renting-while-waiting math seriously because it can eat the BTO savings. We didn't want to stay with parents so we rented a roo…
