Just tried this combo of theirs and it's so much value compared to the other fast food options. Their whopper is 1.5 times larger, their nuggets are practically the same as macs and they even give free curry sauce.

Singapore’s reputation as a safe harbor for wealthy mainland Chinese families is fading, reversing an inflow that came at the expense of rival wealth hubs like Hong Kong and Japan.

After my last relationship, I prayed for a gentle soul, and I got her. She has a great career working at finance, sweet and kind. After work, she is either swimming, gardening or reading a book. She is also madly in love with me - but is it bad that I... kinda understand why? I plan all our dates. When she wants to travel, I pay for everything - flights, accommodations, plan itineraries. When she has challenges at work, we fire up her excel models on the monitor and we work through stuff together. She regular leans on me for advice on doing better at her job. When she has worries about finances, I work out numbers with her to assure her. She also has a broken family, and I regularly tell her how my parents would accept her with open arms once we marry On the flip side, I have this feeling of wanting more, but not getting it. I'm a very adventurous person who has lots of hobbies. I've tried many times gently nudging her to pick up a sport that we can do together, even offered to pay - but she always feels like I'm pressuring her. So I've stopped raising it. I've also hinted that I want more quality time and meaningful dates, and if I do plan them we do get them. But when I don't plan anything, our dates end up being... ordering takeout and eating it at her place. For my birthday, she got stressed because she couldn't think of what to buy, so I helped her by not getting new glasses so that she could get them for me. It's been 3 weeks, she still has not initiated a date to get them together. TL;DR - she is unproblematic, we rarely ever fight. She respects me. But she is so passively low maintenance that I don't feel connected, share interests etc. at all. I'm tired of asking for more, but on the flip side, I also feel horribly guilty. If she's great at everything else - why can't I just love her for who she is, instead of trying to change her into someone she's not?

Anyone went through the typical corporate 9-5 job for a while and realised it wasn’t for you? Was there a trigger? How did you come to realise that, why was it not for you? what steps did you take to break out of it and what are you doing now? Any regrets? P.S I’m not referring to those who have family businesses to fall back on etc, more of the middle income Singaporeans who decided to pursue a different career path when the realisation hits.

Hi everyone, I’m curious about long-term relationships that started young. If you dated your partner since secondary school, polytechnic, JC, or university, where’s your relationship now? Are you still together and happy? Did you break up along the way? Struggling to maintain? Was there cheating involved? Or are you thriving after all these years? Would love to hear your experiences, both the good and the bad.

A lot of people at airport MRT. Staff made announcements about a track fault along this particular line. Saw that the train is only going between Changi Airport - Expo. Fellow airport bros pls try to seek alternate arrangements…

34M, currently sitting on an investment portfolio worth SGD $336k. I’ve been aggressively saving and investing 60% of median salary every month and selling cash secure puts as side hustle. Hoping to FIRE at 1M mark. Would love to hear from others on a similar path and whether retiring at 1M is possible? Lucky enough to already own a BTO and have a newborn coming.

Pray for our fallen comrade. If one tree cost $10k, this is $10k gone from our NEA pocket. If you don’t believe this amount, you try to use your car and bang down the tree, see how much the govt will charge you.
