Life Journey

A great deal before the weekend starts

It has been at least three quarters of not so great news. With inflation and employment uncertainties, companies have been tightening their belts. There has not been much marketing budget and freebies for the retail consumers for some time now. Even if there is, it is quite selective. Before this runs out in 500 quantity only, get the marina square shopping app via this link:…

As cliche my topic is today. It is said as it is. When you struggle to find employment and when you think about what can work for you. It is difficult to get momentum and also motivation. There’s a struggle to think about fulfilling the basic needs versus documenting the journey. When that motivation drops, creativity drops and one gets rather spiraling into a dark hole. Honestly speaking, not…

As a global city with a robust economy, Singapore’s real estate market is driven by a confluence of factors. We have a well-regulated environment, a highly developed infrastructure, and a strategic location. The city-state’s status as a major international financial centre, and a reputation for safety. We have a wide range of properties and by-products in real estate. From high-end residential…

What is HDB? Singapore’s Housing and Development Board (HDB) is a pivotal institution in the city-state’s journey towards modern urban living. Established more than 60 years ago, HDB has played a crucial role in transforming Singapore’s housing landscape. We have evolved from a nation grappling with inadequate living conditions into an efficient, high-quality public housing model. Other than…

Life is like a game. You play a game and this game cannot unwind or move back or restart. You will face good and bad decisions. More often, you will face a dilemma. I like to listen, adapt and use psychology to understand and comprehend most things. I find that humans are a handful and psychology is the best way to understand someone instead of a concept or a model. Our life, work and family…

At the start of 2024, there were signs that new offerings were being put out for deal seekers but as it seems, after January, there has been a drag of three months. Nothing much now except for Dobin. Before we start, let me just say that this is an affiliated link and by doing some actions, you do help me in keeping the lights on this blog. Please do try the app out. I have been using it for the…

Consolidation is quite the generic word to use when we consider downsizing, restructuring and/or a natural progression some would say. Similar to any business or investing cycle, there are peaks and troughs across any period. Opportunities and investment ideas are fewer now. Low-hanging fruits are being snapped up quicker than ever before. Deals and good stuff will go out much faster in a phase…

So, I took a couple of months to kind of get through retrenchment news. It was sad to be in the situation and given vintage, age, rank, and salary. The next mission or job hunt is going to be much more difficult to achieve. Even after going through these two months of the “sad” phase, the actual fact was that I knew it was bound to happen four month prior and with 6 months worth of time to job…

So it seems like many people are user-friendly and many people are the types who like to have a few user-friendly people around them. We can say that generally, people don’t really use their common sense much. In the workplace, most people have pretty low EQ and are generally politically correct. Most people just have the natural tendency to inconvenience others for their own purposes. You…

Chinese New Year is around the corner and there seem to be multiple promotions during the festive period. I hope everyone has a great new year and I do have something that I would like to share with you. These deals are kind of hard to come by and they depend on festive, promotions and company budgets. While some people might have stability in their lives, some don’t, and let’s make that simple…

After all that hype and pretty good promotion AngPow vouchers for Lendlease Malls. I must say Capitastar pales in comparison. This ia another east $5 voucher to get. It is little wonder that they are not even too concerned with the fact that their properties are located in areas that are pretty prime and have relatively decent or good location value. If you have not heard about the Lendlease…

Just earlier today. I wrote a piece about saving money and I was reminded of petrol prices. Stay tuned until the end for a nice freebie at the end which is in limited stock. Sometimes saving money is about not spending it at all or cutting back on what we commonly call an austerity measure. Usually, that is quite drastic and meant to be a joke of some sort. However, some things have to be spent,…

Travel season is back and I have been reading up quite a bit about the miles and cashback camp. The last two years, void of travelling were purely a cashback play from many folks except some whom believed that it would all go away. It really depends on how one views rewards because some of those payments are excluded from earning any form of miles or cashback. With the introduction of a fee-based…
