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.

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:

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,
I’ve said it. You’ve said it. We’ve all said it. Ask any young person about their dream wedding, and 90% of them will say, “We just want a small, simple wedding.” But guess what? This is a lie. Just like how we all declare on New Year’s Day that we’ll “start exercising regularly”, what we say is dramatically
The financial blogosphere buzzed with activity this week when Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) announced that they’ll be removing their famous “zero minimum commission” policy from their online trading platform. From 1 August 2016, they’ll be imposing a $10 per trade fee. Sad face. 🙁 What this means is that it no longer makes sense to
