Say you’re a young, sexy, unmarried Singaporean with no commitments: no student debt, no mortgage, and earning a comfortable income at an awesome job. What’s the worst thing that could happen to you right now? No, it’s not that you might die (because you don’t have a family and kids to support, and your parents […]
Happy (belated) National Day! For my international friends, National Day is Singapore’s version of Independence Day – it’s on the 9th of August, and we have a huge-ass parade with like 20,000 people in it and fireworks and the whole shebang. Everyone gets really nationalistic about the the whole thing, so I decided to do
Yes… it’s a big one. And I confess that I walk around with it all day. Honestly, if we could all just get rid of cash and pay with credit cards, like in this Visa ad, my wallet – and that bulge in my pants – could get a lot smaller (Insert snide comment about
