Inflation can be a tricky issue to tackle. Here are some steps that you can take to cope with inflation in Singapore: 1. Reduce unnecessary spend. With inflation not likely to ease anytime soon and the impending GST hike next year, families can establish a habit of looking through their expenses on a quarterly basis to make adjustments¹. 2. Invest in stocks or bonds. Investing in stocks or bonds can help you beat inflation by providing returns that outpace inflation¹. 3. Consider refinancing your loans. Refinancing your loans can help you save money on interest payments and reduce your monthly payments¹. 4. Shop around for better deals. Shopping around for better deals can help you save money on everyday expenses like groceries, utilities, and transportation¹. 5. Look for ways to earn more money.

I'll be documenting my Covid experience this week. "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." - Forrest Gump 28 Jan, Sat: I had a bout of diarrhoea and thought nothing of it as I had had spicy food earlier that day. 29 Jan, Sun: It had been a cold week so far and I thought nothing of the chills I was having the entire day. It was only when I returned home, felt like my head was on fire  and m y throat had become a little itchy  that I took my temperature and an ART test. It was 38.9 °C  and the test kit immediately showed a positive result. Even after showering, as I kept the wet towel on my head to cool my temperature, I could even feel the heat through the towel. My hot head dried my hair, and even my towel completely within half an hour on that cold night. Heck, I even hung extra wet laundry on myself to dry them. When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade, am I right?  I was unable to book a doctor appointment online so I t...

1. Outlander I adore the time travel romance plot, the tension between the old Scottish past and the modern day, and the chemistry between the two lead stars. Unfortunately, it does have its share of nudity and gore, which I wish could have been omitted. 2. Young Justice If you love DC superheroes, you will love this adaptation. Impressively detailed art and animations that deals with unexpectedly mature themes (e.g. politics, world conflicts, corruption) in each episode. The stakes seem real and each character's destiny is uncertain. 3. Good Doctor Open up your eyes to another medical drama and see through a different perspective. 4. Young Sheldon A wholesome family spin-off of The Big Bang Theory. 5. Marvel's Agents of Shield My, my, what a blast. A solid cast of heroes that you will love and hate. The plot really gets confusing but thrilling from Seasons 4 onwards. It's a jumble of inhumans, mutants, space and time travel. 6. The Flash The long-drawn out story bet...

Photo by Josue Michel on Unsplash I am often encouraged by the youths at my church and fellow churches whenever each one takes a step of faith to proclaim their trust in the Almighty God. The heavens rejoice and the saints and angels cheer for every one of them. Jesus is ever patient and kind, always standing at our doors knocking, beckoning us to allow Him to save us from sin and eternal darkness, and to transform our lives anew. I thank God that no matter the circumstances in these young lives, I am immensely grateful that at some point in their lives, many have chosen God over the world. It has been an honour to witness them mature in their faith. May God continue to nurture and grow their mustard seeds of faith into courageous and steadfast forests for Christ. May these youths experience the fullness of God's mercy and grace, and blaze the trail for the next generations to come. Philippians 1:9-11 (WEB) This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and...

Leadership and Compassion - Empathy and Compassion in Society 2013 Strategies to become more emotional intelligent | WOBI 2017

This is a fantastic introductory video to organising your life. I have picked up some of these tips over the years through trial and error, which I wished had been taught to me beyond just the partially helpful "write it down in your notebook" reminders. While I don't use most of these apps, I would highly recommend using a digital calendar, task (to-do) list, and a digital storage drive for a start. How I use my calendar and task list Read e-mails once a day and use the 1-touch rule . You have to make a decision the moment you open it: reply to it, archive (for information), do the task or add it to your task list (for things that take 5 min or less to complete), schedule an event in a calendar (for things that take longer than 5 min to do) Managing events: I colour code my events (' red ' for important work, fun colours for recreational activities) and set default 1-day, 3h and 15 min prior push notifications to remind me of them. Digital Storage Drive On top of...

The Formula: A Book on Raising Successful Children The Formula is a book by Ron Ferguson, a faculty member at Harvard Kennedy School, and journalist Tatsha Robertson. The book aims to answer the question of whether there is a recipe for youthful success. After interviewing families of successful young adults, Ferguson and Robertson found that good parenting is the common origin of these individual successes. The Story Behind the Book Tatsha Robertson started interviewing successful people in 2005 to understand how they got that way. She found that parenting might have something to do with it. Meanwhile, Ron Ferguson was working on a project called the "How I Was Parented" Project, in which Harvard students interviewed fellow students to discuss how parenting had gotten them where they were. The two connected, and their discussion eventually led to the research and writing of The Formula. The Eight Parental Roles 🧩 Early Learning Partner: engaging with the...

“To put the world in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must cultivate our personal life; and to cultivate our personal life, we must first set our hearts right.” - Confucius  当局者迷，旁观者清 The involved parties tend to be caught up in the details and emotions to make good decisions.
