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. Or how the Silver Support Scheme makes me think of: #SGBudget2015 will have Silver […]
Hey! So I’m moving house this week, and you wouldn’t believe the amount of crap involved: Cleaning, mopping, organising, scrubbing, assembling and dealing with boxes. An avalanche of boxes. Thankfully, it’s almost over, even though I currently have 1) No couch, 2) No dining chairs and 3) No study desk (Dammit, IKEA!). I also have no curtains/blinds
I watched the play HOTEL by W!ld Rice last weekend. 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.

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,
Short post today because I’m in New York this week catching the 4th of July fireworks! Yesterday, the wifey and I headed to Blue Bottle Coffee at Rockefeller Centre to grab a cup of Kenya drip coffee. As we waited for our coffee, we started watching a geeky-looking Asian barista behind the counter. She wore
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
Last week, I blogged about how it’s lame when fresh grads say, “I wanna earn $4k!”, with absolutely zero basis. I showed you a specific strategy on how to figure out the job to target, research the market rate, and set your ambitious salary target that’s won’t cause the interviewer to laugh in your face. But wait –
