HDB only allows ONE dog per flat and it must be an approved breed/small type, plus you must license it with the authority (used to be AVA, n…
We went resale precisely because we didn't want to rent and burn money for 4 years. Do the math properly: renting a decent flat is easily 2.…
Push back, but do it smart. Variable bonus is discretionary so you can't demand it, but you CAN make your manager go to bat for you. I did t…
Switched to an MVNO SIM-only plan two years ago, never looked back, but let me give the honest nuance. The MVNOs (the budget brands) actuall…
I enlisted at 78kg overweight, went into the Physical Training Phase (PTP) first for the extra two months before BMT proper. Honestly that P…

My daughter is now in JC and I'll tell you what I wish I knew at your stage, the PSLE score mattered far less than we panicked about, but th…
Switched to SIM-only three years ago and never going back. Do the actual sum: a "free" phone on contract is baked into a higher monthly (eas…
