Last week, I had the privilege of speaking at a careers event. Over 100 bright-eyed students/young working adults were packed into a hotel ballroom, listening to entrepreneurs and industry titans talk about their careers. Pretty much everyone who stepped on stage said some variation of “follow your passion”. Find what you love! If you love […]
Imagine this scenario: You’re rummaging through your kitchen drawer, and realise that you’re out of plasters. You know, the sticky thing you put on your knee when you cut yourself against the coffee table (speaking from experience here). So you head to NTUC and look for plasters. Now, if you’re like me, you probably hate running errands –
You know you’re spending way too much time on your blog when you rename your Pokemon to this: They don’t look cheerful, but hey, I’ll take it. In true cheerfulegg style, I usually blog about “current affairs” approximately 2 weeks too late. (Sorry, I was too busy collecting Magikarp so I can get mah Gyarados
Our Government is notoriously bad at coming up with names. For example, there’s that infamous story of how the CAAS spent $28,000 to launch a contest to name our airport’s budget terminal, and chose the winning name of… The Budget Terminal.

It was easily one of the best plays I’d seen in a while: Awesome storyline, witty script, superb acting, and loads of deep concepts about Singapore’s identity/history to think about. Not just that, but the actors spoke in nine languages. Nine! They flawlessly switched between English,
I bought a TV a couple of weeks ago. Now, I don’t actually watch that much TV, but it’s just one of those things you get for your new house, right? (How else would you distract your relatives when they visit and ask awkward questions?) You’d think that buying a TV should be relatively simple:
One of my friends is American, but lives and works in the UK. Even though he couldn’t vote in the referendum, he fought really hard for the “Remain” campaign. In the days leading up to the vote, he even started handing out flyers. Well, he was obviously disappointed. Now that Brexit has happened, he’s not sure whether
Life has been pretty crazy for me for the past 8 months: Getting married, buying a house, renovating it, starting a new job, and lots and lots of travelling. Now that things are a little more settled down, I want to get back to writing more material that helps you to grow your money. Specifically,
