It’s been a while since I last wrote (not due to the lack of ideas, more rather a lack of time to do the necessary research) I have been mulling over the whole concept of CPF for a while now. Most people would perceive Singapore to enjoy one of the lowest tax rates in the … Continue reading

Online media subscription, New York Times is overpriced
I enjoy reading posts on my Google Plus stream and I think I probably receive 1 to 2 articles from the New York Times daily. So lo and behold when I was opening an article today this was what I found: I mean for USD0.99, it’s a pretty good deal right, so I followed the … Continue reading
Punctuality and tardiness
found this on linkedin today… I’ll let the results speak for itself
Generating ideas in an age saturated with information
I believe many of my friends know that I enjoy reading books. Alot of books. Many of them doubt my ability to process and store the information. Frankly, I have doubts as to whether I can recall information when I need it as well (most of the time no, but my brain does amaze me … Continue reading
Demand and supply, a look at the Samsung Galaxy S3
I have a habit of browsing the prices of mobile phones (sans contract) during my free time to see how much value my phone has lost, how much closer my dream phone is getting (the answer is never, because there is always a new dream phone) and well, window shopping is always fun.

Visa Paywave, one of the many contactless wallets that are also currently useless
Ok perhaps useless is too harsh a word to use, however it is definitely seldom used by consumers (at least my immediate circle of friends and acquaintances) Was watching The Amazing Spiderman with a few friends last night and had a really good deal using Paywave. So this saved me roughly SGD9, even though on … Continue reading
