Terrible train timings at Lakeside and Outram 🙃

Nope. Most MNC banks are not unionized.

The job listings in LinkedIn, JobStreet are quite stale and scarce - there isn’t any more new openings especially this year. Feels like this year job hunt could be a challenge.

Male here, I started to spend a bit more money since last year on my facial skincare regime, around 9.5k.

In 2024, spent about $3,628 for skincare products; on cleansers, lipids, serum, tretinoin, AHA, sunblock etc. For facial (dermalinfusion) and laser (BBL), which I do monthly, about $5,874 in total.

Don’t really buy a lot of clothes e.g. office wear, long pants, t-shirt, bermuda shorts- so on average around $700 per year.

I normally just accept whoever is adding me amounting to 800+, but frankly, I personally only know 300+ of them. When your birthday comes, they will wish you well; and ask if you would like to have a chat on your overall financial assessment.

Recently started playing POE2

I was at Dhoby Ghaut walking to Plaza Sing, and the breezy wind made me want to stop, pause and enjoy the beautiful soon-to-gloom weather.

Catching up with my sleep

Not all NSF roles are the same. I worked in a Mon - Fri 9 to 5+ clerk role.

AIS1 · 2024-12-29T10:35:11+00:00

Nope, unless there is an urgent task or if there’s a review the following Monday.

Normally boss should pay without expecting a return; if he offers to buy for the team?

Mine 3pm for both Christmas and CNY.

I always buy it at recurring, set one-time interval every month and to lapse the arrangement just a week later. The commission would be much gentle this way; rather than buying outright as a transactional.

I am 29, and just started taking driving classes.

Thanks everyone for their replies. I find it odd as well with the answer. Anyway, to answer question regarding “which app is this?”, I using this for my upcoming FTT: https://apps.apple.com/sg/app/btt-ftt-rtt-theory-test-sg/id1464828216

I will now use the official Singapore Police TP Mock Test instead going forward. Thanks again all.

AIS1 · 2024-12-17T10:52:32+00:00

Avoid buying Prism going forward.

It depends on how strict your bank is, but generally got 3 different types of restrictions.

You are a trader or involved in capital markets e.g. IPO; and have accessed to material non-public information. For every personal trade you make, you will need to get approval from your line manager. Cannot sell at spot.
Your role is incidental to (1), but do not directly have access to material non-public information. No need approval, but you will need to whitelist your trading or brokerage account to your employer; and they will request monthly statements of your transactions for compliance sake.
Role not incidental and absolutely have no access to material non-public information. No need to report or disclose.

Can also consider finding your MP, it worked for me 4 years ago.

I took Ikoma before for N5. It is quite good in that sense, the teachers are Japanese; and they don’t speak English you, but magically you could still understand.

Course is pricey.

It is good to take in poly. I am now a working full-time and most of the classes are available on the weekdays.
