I held out for years taking Grab and MRT everywhere, then my second kid came and everything changed. Lugging a stroller, a diaper bag and a …
We did DSA for my son through his sport and I have genuinely mixed feelings, so let me give you the balanced view. The upside is real, he se…
Working parent of two, drop the guilt first, it doesn't help anyone. HPB guideline is under an hour a day of quality screen time for that ag…
Practical prep list from a fellow non-sporty survivor: start the 2.4km run twice a week and aim just to finish without walking, do push-ups …
Ran a noodle stall in a coffeeshop for three years, and let me kill the romance with real numbers first. Rent in a decent coffeeshop can be …
I'm in analytics hiring. We look at whether you can tell a story with data, not your age. Bring one real project to the interview and you'll…
I took a counter-offer in 2022 and regretted it within 8 months. The extra 1.4k felt good on payday, but the trust was gone on both sides. M…
HR manager here, and asking is normal, not entitled, most people just do it badly. What works: come with a business case, not a grievance. D…
Born and raised here, my go-to cheap weekend list that's actually good, not just "go park" filler: 1) The green corridors and connectors, th…

I hopped at 11 months once and nobody blinked. The trick is you don't make it a pattern. One short stint on your CV is fine, two or three ba…
Yes, you can use your Medisave for immediate family, spouse, parents, children, grandparents, siblings. I did exactly this when my mum was h…
My honest lesson, I let excitement rush me and I overbought. Got a nicer model than I needed and the depreciation plus running costs stretch…
