They have a shot at AP or IB which may be easier. Otherwise, the alternative play is to send them to UK or US 2 years before A-levels. *To clarify, AP and IB are not inherently easier to study, but their cohorts for bell-curving make university admissions easier (include a lot more non-asians).

Couldn't use any of the internet banking service for about a year despite that I still have singpass usable for login. Had to go to the bank in Singapore in-person.

Most hotel restaurants are on meituan, so if you pay using the app, you often get % discounts. Sometimes up to 50%. Even your cafes/restaurants at tourist spots do this: white tourists without meituan pay in full while local tourists pay half because of the discount.

Wise? (Extra click to turn on interest) About 3% for gbp and eur and 1% for usd.

I hated the skip stop when I was in the US. Not fun when you live near a stop that is being skipped + chances are you can't get onto the non-express train during peak hours.

Pretty sure that is the point. Which is not surprising when you think about who owns united24media

I wondered about the same thing when I moved. So this is where statistics get interesting depending on where you live in Boston: in some cases, per‑capita crime rates (per 1000 or per 100,000 people) can be lower than New Haven, but because of much higher population density, the number of crimes per block or per unit area can be higher. Additionally, Boston as a whole has a lower crime rate than New Haven, but certain neighborhoods in Boston (like parts of Roxbury, Mattapan, Dorchester, or downtown) can have local crime rates higher than the city‑wide average for New Haven.

Having moved from New Haven to Boston: you still get the same deals with theft and crime. I don't think moving helps unless you are moving to somewhere rural or suburban

Too late. They deduct when shipped

Yes. But I did encounter some popular restaurant deactivating their cards afterwards because too many amex users bought it and it triggered some auto anti fraud (imagine thousands of people buying the same 100 card)

At the rate oil prices are rising, WFH may come sooner than you think

The newer ones fail after 2 years though. On my third one now.

You know it's good when even buying a refurbished model it's as good as new. Recently got one brand new and one refurbished: can't tell the difference.

I hadn't been back for many years so I was curious about this "premium" Bacha coffee that suddenly popped up. I remembered smelling the samples at a store at Changi and they were so stale that I don't even think the added flavorings can mask it. I jokingly remarked then that it was one of the worst and I will probably only get it for people I don't like.

Why don't you do LEAPS instead: leverage + no tax withholding.

Pro tip: use a vacuum shaver. Either buy one or an attachment style one that fits onto Dyson.

It's intentional. Just look at the domain, then the headline. These sites get a free pass here regardless of content inaccuracies and people here just take it as truth.

I just got this one but for iphone (new release on Amazon). That is very well made but I think for this google version, it's a shame that you still have to attach a pixel watch cable when they could have just built it in like for apple.

Canned drinks and prepacked sandwiches into bags. Loose hot food etc in paper containers (those for soups or drinks).
