I've raised a small dog in my HDB flat for years and it's great, but go in prepared. Check the current approved breed list before you fall i…

The accrued interest thing is the part people don't understand until it's too late, so let me stress it. Every dollar of OA you use for the …

My take might differ, I found it liberating rather than isolating, but I'm quite thick-skinned about what others think. Yes, aunties gave me…

For ~150 for two and 'feels special', my move is lunch sets at higher-end places, same kitchen, half the dinner price. Many atas restaurants…

Switched to an MVNO two years ago and never looked back. The digital-only telcos like the ones riding on the big networks give you 100GB-plu…

I switched at 40 from supply chain into a BI analyst role via a CCP. Ya lah, the first year salary dropped maybe 15 percent and my ego also …

The core trade-off: Standard Plan gives you a higher, level monthly payout that stays the same for life, while Escalating Plan starts you of…

Not unreasonable at all, 3 hours of daily commute is 15 hours a week of unpaid life, that's a real pay cut in time. But don't quit on emotio…

Regular JB-goer here. Driving is worth it ONLY if you plan to move around a lot in JB, malls, eateries spread out, maybe Desaru. Register yo…

Best money we spent, and I was the skeptic. After a C-section I physically could not do night feeds, cook, and recover at the same time. Our…

Parent of two who've been through this. DSA is genuinely worth it IF your child has a real, demonstrable strength they enjoy, a sport at nat…
