Maximize your money while traveling by following these four airline tips the next time you book a flight!
SHOP WITHOUT TAX
It’s always a blessing to acquire your favorite perfumes or purses without having to think about the tax attached to it. Try heading to the airport’s duty-free store to enjoy purchasing items without tax. Do this if you want to dispose your leftover foreign currency when traveling internationally.
Without a doubt, prices for certain goods vary by country and airport. This is why you must maximize your savings by doing a price comparison thru the Duty-Free Addict site!
EARN EXTRA MONEY
Many Singaporeans are not aware of the possibility of qualifying for compensation when experiencing flight delay. You read that right! There are certain situations that enable you to get some cash or other benefits. While weather delays or air traffic control issues will not get you any compensation, losing your luggage can get you some cash from the airline company.

An app called AirHelp can track flight delays and uncover ways to get you compensation. It proclaims to give about US$700 to help both domestic and international passengers.
COMPARE ALL PRICES
When it comes to maximizing your dollar, it pays to shop around. The advancement of technology led to the development of helpful travel apps like Hipmunk.
Hipmunk compares deals on flights, hotels, and cars from several travel websites and airline companies. It gives you all the necessary information to get you started on your journey.
READ THE FINE PRINT
Before you embark on your relaxing holiday, take a few minutes to read the fine print attached on your airline ticket or vehicle rental contract. You will be glad you read any contract the travel industry lays out in front of you. For instance, an airline may not require to keep its flight schedule and you are still expected to check in on time. Read all the important details such as cancellation and refund policies.

In most times, you are left with the “adhesion contract” whereby you cannot travel without clicking the “accept” button. Take it or leave it!
As much as we want to prepare delicious and healthy meals for our entire family, doing so can be a quite a chore!
This is why some of us opt to order in or to eat out. However, this can lead to an increased spending and to an unhealthy lifestyle. The solution is to find ways to save yourself money and time while prepping your meals. Start with these simple food hacks:
#1: EGGSPIRED
Equipped with a shopping list in one hand, I enjoy my weekly trips to the grocery. Egg is among the items that will always be present on the list. For many of us, it is difficult to tell whether a set of eggs is expired. When this happens, you either throw out edible eggs or take the risk of eating expired ones. Avoid these situations by following a simple trick:
Put your eggs in a bowl of water. The expired eggs will float and the fresh eggs will sink. Quickly grab the good eggs in the bottom of the bowl.
#2: POTATHROW
I love potatoes! Whether it be mashed or fried, potatoes can drive many people into frenzy! Say you want to fry potato wedges or mash some potatoes. It is best to spend as little time as possible in peeling each individual potato. Furthermore, you are only wasting money by peeling too much.

So, take a sharp knife and gently run the blade around the circumference of the potato. You must break the skin without puncturing the potato. Repeat this step for each potato that you intend to cook. Place all the potatoes in a pot and add boiling water. After all these are fully boiled and drained, you may put the pot under cool water for a few seconds. This is the perfect time to gently remove the potato’s skin using your fingers. Watch as the skin slip right off as you save energy on a simple task.
#3: FREEZE-FULL
One of the kitchen tools that many of us often under-utilize is the freezer. Using the freezer efficiently to properly store your food will save you money, effort, and time. Keep this tip in mind – maintaining an empty or an almost empty freezer is a mistake! The freezer has to double its work to cool itself, which will lead to energy wastage. The coolness is retained better if the freezer a little more full.

I am not saying that you must completely pile up items as that will restrict air circulation. Instead, you must replace what you use with new frozen food items. Practicing this cycle will ensure that your freezer is used to its fullest potential.
#4: MEATICULOUS
Meat gets ridiculously more expensive as time passes. By buying large amounts of meat when it is on sale can help you save money and time in the grocery store. You can either cook everything at the same time or store everything in the freezer into usable portions.
For instance, you may use ground beef for spaghetti sauce and chicken strips for salads. There will be no leftovers!

Start Your Morning With Healthy And Nutritious Snacks At Nestle’s Cereal Bar
Every parent knows that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It is THE meal that kick-starts your kid’s metabolism for the day. It also gives your child the energy to last him/her throughout the day. Moreover, breakfast is the best opportunity for parents and kids to sit down together to spend quality time as a family. What better way to encourage the habit of eating breakfast than a cereal bar where kids get to design their own Nestle breakfast bowl?

It’s Time To Enrich The Mind And Let Your Child’s Creativity Run Wild In The Lego Room
Creativity is the way of life where humans take two seemingly disparate ideas and connect them with a unique interpretation. The ability to think creatively has already been dubbed the skill to have in the 21st century. But the journey to nurture one’s creativity has to start from young through the right exposure.
One way to let your child’s creativity blossom and take shape is to let their creativity roam freely with Lego in Qiren Organisation’s newly minted Lego room at Qiren Organisation’s Jurong East premise. Besides the fun factor in assembling your child’s own Lego creation, Lego has been scientifically proven to make one smarter and aid in development of key skills. You can leave your child here for the rest of the afternoon and let their imagination run wild!
Note: This facility is available only in Qiren Organisation’s Jurong East premise.
Encourage Your Child’s Development While Having Fun At The Indoor Playground
Another addition to Qiren Organisation’s existing set of facilities is an indoor playground that is designed to encourage children’s play time. Recent years of research has shown that play is the key to physical, mental, intellectual and social well-being of children.
Having the right amount of play time can have a huge developmental impact on children to develop holistically. Even Albert Einstein once said, “Play is the highest form of research”. Play time also lets children build their motor skills, from jumping, balancing, landing, pushing to turning.
What better way to encourage play time with an indoor playground that lets your child play to their heart’s content, regardless whether it rains or shines?
Note: This facility is available in both Qiren Organisation’s Tampines premise and Jurong East premise.

It is not uncommon for a boss to continually evaluate your output and etiquette. While this happens, you are also evaluating him or her. Your mind automatically makes assumptions and perceptions about a person, even if you do not realize it.
To aid in the smooth stream of operations between the employees and the employers, transparency is needed. Evaluate your boss efficiently by following these tips.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
Keeping the lines open between the employer and the employee can help address and prevent issues. Observe how your boss communicates with you. Does he motivate you when you perform or does he constantly criticize your work? He must be able to filter personal issues and constructive criticisms.
Feedback is essential in brewing a good relationship. Furthermore, the boss must be able to deal with the mistakes in a calmly and efficient manner.
MANAGEMENT SKILLS
When I was given a leadership position, I thought that micromanaging my staff will help lift their loads. To cut it short, I was wrong. A good boss does not dictate every step of the way. He trusts the capabilities of his employees and does not take credit for the work that they have done. However, he is willing to share the responsibility when things go wrong.
Management skills are showcased through your boss’ ability to discipline unpleasant behavior and through giving proper guidance to those who need it. Your boss must understand the requirements of each job title and maintain order in the workplace.
INTERPERSONAL SKILLS
Interpersonal skills refers to your boss’ ability to interact with you as an employee. Does your boss care about you and the company’s expectations? Does he recognize your achievements and contributions to the team?
A good boss must be able to encourage you and your co-workers to meet the same goal. He must be able to clearly communicate the expectations, which are in line with the company.

When evaluating your boss, ensure that you incorporate both positive feedback and constructive criticisms. Confidentiality is highly encourage to enable you to have honest reviews.
Lastly, put yourself in his shoes! Consider how you want your boss to conduct performance reviews and give the same courtesy to your boss.
