Hey Singaporeans — Your Parents Deserve Fast, Safe Data. Here’s How to Get It FREE.
Hey Singaporeans, Your Parents Deserve Better Data Than You. Here’s How to Give It to Them — Free.
Let’s be real.
Our parents grew up in a world without WiFi, without streaming, without GPS. They memorised phone numbers, flagged taxis on the street, and paid their bills in person.
Fast forward to now — and suddenly, everything’s digital. But while we’re out here switching 5G plans like socks, many seniors are still stuck on slow speeds.
That’s about to change.
Singtel is rolling out something massive for SG60 — and it’s not just a nice gesture. It’s a digital power-up for the people who’ve always had our backs.
Here’s What They’re Giving Our Seniors — Completely Free:
- 🧓 FREE SIM for anyone aged 60 and up
- ⚡ 150GB 5G+ data each month for 2 whole months
- 📞 500 mins local talktime and 100 local SMS
- 🌏 50GB roaming data – perfect for that weekend trip or family visits abroad in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, India and Bangladesh.
- 📺 FREE VIU Premium – finally, dramas without interruptions
- 🛡️ Scam Call Protect – because peace of mind matters
After that? Just $10/month, no contract, no lock-in, no “read-the-fine-print” nonsense. Simply top up $10 Singtel prepaid data plan from any Singtel Shop or authorized prepaid retailer or from hi!App: www.singtel.com/hiapp.
This isn’t just a telco deal. It’s Singtel saying: “We see you. And we’ve got you.”
But Here’s the Catch — It’s Not for You.
It’s for your parents. Your grandparents. Your in-laws. The makcik upstairs who always offers you pineapple tarts during Hari Raya.
It’s for the people who sometimes hesitate to ask for help with their phones — but still light up when they get a FaceTime call from you.
So if you know someone 60+, this is your moment to be their hero.
How to Get It
No apps. No confusing sign-ups. Just walk them down to a collection point with their ID.

Let’s Be Honest…
They didn’t grow up needing this. But in today’s world, staying connected isn’t optional. It’s how they keep in touch with us. How they watch their favourite shows. How they feel seen, safe, and in control.
And thanks to this SG60 gift — they can do it without paying a cent.
Even better? After the 2 free months, they can choose to continue with a low-cost, no-contract plan at just $10/month. No pressure, no lock-ins, and still packed with great value — so they can stay connected without burning through their retirement savings.
So go on. Tell your mum. WhatsApp your dad. Call your grandma.
Better yet, bring them down yourself. Get the SIM. Set it up. Show them how to use VIU. Watch a drama together.
They’ve done so much for us. Let’s return the favour — with fast data, zero stress, and a smile.

7 Sanity Saving Habits for Busy Workweeks
In Singapore’s fast paced work life where MRT rides are used to clear emails and coffee breaks barely last ten minutes, it’s easy to forget one important thing: mental health isn’t a luxury, but a necessity.
Modern workplaces are increasingly recognizing that psychological well-being is just as important as physical safety. After all, a healthy mind is not just good for the individual, it is good for business. Productivity dips, absenteeism increases, and morale suffers when stress levels rise.
On that note, the following are seven powerful ways to protect your sanity when the workweek starts to feel overwhelming.
#1: LISTEN TO YOUR BODY
Your body often knows you are burning out before your brain catches on. Pay attention to physical cues. They could be warning signs of stress.
Ask yourself these:
a. Are you tossing and turning at night?
b. Feeling exhausted by midday despite a full night’s rest?
c. Noticing sudden changes in appetite or digestion?
d. Finding it hard to concentrate or stay focused?
e. Reaching for more caffeine, alcohol, or cigarettes than usual?
These are not just random changes. They are your body’s way of asking for help. Start by noticing these patterns. You could even use a journal or a mental health tracking app to gain more clarity. Awareness is the first step toward regaining control.
#2: TAKE 10 MINUTES OF MINDFULNESS
If your mind feels like a browser with too many tabs open, meditation can help you reset.
Research shows that mindfulness can reduce stress, improve focus, enhance emotional regulation, and even help you sleep better. Just 10 to 15 minutes a day can make a meaningful difference.
Morning is ideal because it is often the only time you can fully control. But any time that works for you is good. The key is consistency, not the hour of the day.
#3: CONNECT WITH YOUR SOCIAL CIRCLE
Humans are wired for connection. Having strong and meaningful relationships helps buffer against stress.

Make time to reach out, even if it is just a quick message or a short coffee meetup. You can also join group activities like fitness classes, volunteering, or weekend walks to stay engaged. A laugh with a friend can sometimes be the best therapy.
#4: TALK ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL
Bottling up emotions is like shaking a soda can. Eventually, it bursts.
Talking about your feelings is not a sign of weakness. It is a step toward emotional strength and clarity. Opening up can help lighten the emotional load.
#5: CHALLENGE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS
Long term stress can distort how you see things. You may start jumping to conclusions or assuming the worst in every situation.
For example, if your manager walks past without greeting you, you might think, “They are upset with me.” Before reacting, take a step back.
Instead of assuming the worst, observe your thoughts and ask if there might be another explanation. Practicing this can help you stay calm and balanced when emotions run high.
#6: AVOID OFFICE GOSSIP
Workplace drama can quietly drain your emotional energy. Getting involved in gossip not only fuels conflict, it adds unnecessary stress to your day.
If a coworker often pulls you into drama, gently change the topic or excuse yourself from the conversation. Protecting your peace sometimes means stepping away from those who disrupt it.
#7: ASK FOR HELP WHEN NEEDED
You are not expected to handle everything on your own. No one is.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, reach out. Some companies in Singapore offer Employee Assistance Programs, confidential counseling, or mental wellness resources. These services are private, free of judgment, and there for your benefit. You can also speak with your HR team or manager for support options.
IN A NUTSHELL
In the midst of chasing deadlines and hitting targets, remember this: you matter.

Taking care of your mental health is not selfish. It is a smart investment in your long term well-being, relationships, and career. So next time the workweek feels like too much, turn to these tips.
