The 22-year-old influencer had driven up to Johor Bahru on Aug 10 at about 1am for a quick massage and hotpot meal, she said in her first video.

Sim explained that she and her friends had stored their passports in the glove compartment of the car before heading to the hotpot restaurant.


Uncle thinks this group simply took their own personal safety for granted. Drove into JB at 1am is already a red flag. And go there without a bag to store your passports? Put passports in glovebox?

They think they are going to Geylang for supper is it? LOL

So now want to post ordeal in TikTok for what? For whole F world to laugh I think.

Expenses of a middle-classy Singapore uncle with family

I don't know what exactly is considered middle-class in SG, but I figured its the fat range in the middle section if we were to line people up based on income. There will be a steep drop off from the bottom 5% and a steep surge from the top 5, and another galactic surge from the top 1%. Uncle is pretty sure I am in that middle chunk of 90%, and based on my estimation, should be in the front 30 percentile in this chunk. Now, this is how my expenses look like for myself (excluding what my wife contributes). The numbers are on per month and in SGD Car expenses (loan, insurance, maintenance, tax, fuel) = $2,500 Insurance premiums = $800 Utilities bill = $350 Mobile lines for 5 = $90 Home internet line = $30 Services (Netflix, Spotify, iCloud) = $60 Condo maintenance fees = $350 Property tax = $250 Groceries and take out meals = $1200 Allowance for my parent = $1000 Allowance for kiddos = $200 School fees for kiddos = $150 Tuition fees = $270 Piano, and music classes = $900 Sub-Total fo...

Getting comfortable without a salary from working

 Not sure if I am there yet. Basically I am effectively drawing down my cash each month, primarily due to 2 things : mortgage and income tax mortgage (after CPF) is about $9k per month income tax is about $5k per month My investment cashflow covers all my other expenses, including utilities, groceries, handphone/internet bills, insurance, property taxes, condo maintenance fees, personal spending. With some input from wife who is still working, I am still out of pocket by almost $11k per month.  She will continue to be able to save a decent sum per month and I'll let her grow that and managed it for her via safe investments. Am I comfortable? Not really. I will if I am not out of pocket per month. If I really stop working for good, the income tax amount will go to $0 after 2025. So only mortgage left We can pay off the mortgage but I think I said before, it doesn't make sense since it's our home and we will be locking the money up with little leeway to do other things. So I ...

CPF balances 14 Oct 2024

  The small bump up was from my final salary input as it included amounts from encashment of unused vacation days.  So, my OA has $1400 deducted per month as part of mortgage, which means this can last 20 months before I need to pay that in cash.  We'll see if I find a job or retired by then hahahaha.
