Stretch Your Monthly NS Allowance In Just 4 Ways

As their ages hit 18, many male Singaporeans and Permanent Residents will undergo basic military training to mold their survival skills in rugged environments. This overall experience encompasses the National Service (NS).

Full-time National Servicemen (NSFs) are required to serve in either the Singapore Police Force, the Singapore Armed Forces, or the Singapore Civil Defence Force. It comes as no surprise that many NSFs who finished their period were more self-reliant than before. This increased independence is partly due to the management of the monthly allowance.

You read that right! NSFs are given a rank allowance in recognition of their contributions. Those with higher ranks are given more in recognition of their added responsibilities. For instance, a Recruit receives a starting rank allowance of S$560 per month. While, a Lieutenant receives about S$1260 monthly.

On top of this rank allowance, combat allowances are given to those individuals who participate in the Singapore Armed Forces’ combat vocations. What’s more? Operational allowances are paid to those individuals in front-line vocations in the Home Team. All these incentives add up!

As a word of advice, here are four ways to stretch your coveted allowance:

#1: TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS CONCESSION PASS

As a Full-time National Serviceman, you are entitled to a convenient way to commute. Enjoy the minimized travel expenses that NSF Concession Card can bring you. NSF Concession Card or NSF EZ-Link Card is particularly helpful if you are serving a unit far from home.

Are you curious to know how you can get one? For starters, it will be processed through your respective unit. Activate the card by heading down to any TransitLink Ticket Office and by making a minimum top-up of S$10. It is important to remember that this card can only be used until the end of your NSF period. Check the expiration date of your card at any Add Value Machine or General Ticketing Machine.

#2: STAY WHERE YOU ARE

Superior knowledge is not necessary to realize that you can reduce your travel and food expenses by remaining in the camp. You can indulge on free meals (of reasonable standards) upon your stay.

Consider staying in the vicinity every once in a while. Well, only if this is an option. I do not suggest that you do this regularly as it is healthy for your well-being to interact with other people and places beyond the unit.

#3: INCREASE YOUR INCENTIVE

Whether you like it or not, you will undergo military training for approximately two years. How about you narrow your mindset? Make an effort to improve on your physical abilities. Hit the gym more often. Your sacrifices will be rewarded as doing great on the Individual Physical Proficiency Test (IPPT) can earn you monetary incentive.

IPPT follows a three-station format including push-ups, sit-ups, and a 2.4 kilometer run. These stations are meant to measure the cardiovascular fitness and physical strength of the individuals.

#4: CULTIVATE YOUR VALUABLE RELATIONSHIPS

Upon booking out, you have the freedom to spend your money on whatever you desire. You can catch a party with your section mates. Or, stroll to Upper Thomson to have an intimate feast. Stretch your dollar by cultivating your valuable relationships instead.

Utilize your short time to reconnect with your family members or significant other. Instead of splurging your cash in one day, opt for inexpensive and entertaining activities. Try renting a bicycle (for S$6-12 per hour) and savoring the view at East Coast Park. You may also choose to have a romantic dinner and a movie marathon at home.

Let us face it! You worked hard for this allowance. You earned it through your dedication to improve your physical abilities and to serve the country. As long as it fits your budget, reward yourself with a reasonable amount each time “pay day” comes.

6 Budget-Friendly Ways To Select Clothes Like A Fashion Editor

1. STICK TO SIMPLICITY

Simplicity translates to sophistication in most cases. The simpler and sleeker the clothing article is, the better. This is why you must avoid handbags or clothes that are filled with bargain embellishments or distressed denim patterns. If you want to accessorize, opt for a thick bracelet rather than stacking three little ones to increase the outfit’s impact.

2. AVOID GATHERED SEAMS

Manufacturers prefer gathered seams as they are more forgiving and can fit the majority compared to smooth seams. To seem that you bought your clothes from a high-quality store, shy away from pieces that have gathered seams. Select pleats and sharply tailored garments instead. I once spotted a lovely S$10 pleated skirt at Bugis Street.

3. GET THINGS TAILORED

Having your jeans tailored for about S$5 or S$8 is worth every buck as it can transform your poorly fitted S$13 Forever21 jeans into a seemingly designer piece. It goes the same for a tailored blazer or a tailored jacket.

While you are shopping, look for uncomplicated garments as they are cheaper to tailor. Another alternative is to make basic stitches on your own by using this helpful post.

4. LOOK FOR RAW LACE

I am your typical “girly girl”. My wardrobe is filled with floral blouses, form-fitted skirts, and other feminine pieces. This is why I am absolutely fond of lace. The only problem with an outfit covered with lace is that it can look inexpensive.

Lace made by the machine can appear flat and flimsy. Try to stick to tops and dresses that use lace only as an accent. Look for lace that seems raw, uneven, and delicate.

5. FAVOR THE MONOCHROMATIC

Wear one hue or color from head-to-toe because splashing yourself with every color in the rainbow can look cheap! For example, you can wear the different shades of black (i.e., Jet-Licorice) to look slimmer and more stylish. Monochromatic clothing creates an illusion of supreme quality.

Although, this does not mean that you will avoid experimenting with color all together. You may suit up with bold pastels or deep jewel tones and still look as regal.

6. GO FOR THE CLASSIC

Classic pieces such as black pencil skirts and white cocktail dresses have a timeless charm. If you are going to spend your hard-earned money on a wardrobe, wear articles that you can style for years to come.

Even InStyle‘s Special Projects Editor (who has been a fashion editor for decades) highlighted her adoration for the classic. She once stated this: “my big investments are all classic shapes. No crazy one-off trends such as culottes, designer sweatshirts, or 1970s-inspired fringed jackets.”

How To Preserve Your Currency Collection Effectively

Currency collection is both a hobby and an investment to many people. After reading the “Newbie’s Guide To Collecting Currency In Singapore”, it is time to know about the ways to effectively take care of your collection.

1. HANDLING

Employ some precautions when handling the banknotes and the coins. To pick up your collection properly, you can either use a pair of trusted tweezers with studded ends or wear a pair of cotton gloves. Avoid using your bare hands as it may stain the coins and soil the notes. Furthermore, your collection may absorb contaminants that may damage it.

2. KEEPING

To create an appropriate storage environment for your precious collection, start by finding a dry place that avoids direct sunlight and artificial light. The high levels of ultra-violet rays are not only harmful to us but also to the notes. So store it at a constant temperature of 20-24 Celsius with a relative humidity of 45-55%.

Notes and coins are best kept in small containers, protective holders, and albums. Or you may purchase a safe for your home to avoid paying the recurring fee of renting a safe deposit box.

3. CLEANING

More than anything else, improper cleaning has damaged valuable coins. For example, un-circulated coins should never be cleaned as improper cleaning can cause permanent loss of value, original mint finish, and antique color. This is why experienced collectors and dealers recommend that the experts should only be the ones to polish coins.

4. INSPECTING

To help detect deterioration at its early stages, you must regularly inspect the condition of your collection. Complete repair may no longer be possible if the deterioration is discovered too late!

When you decide to take action, always seek the advice of an expert regarding the cleaning or restoration procedures as unqualified attempts will more likely cause a decrease in its value.

4 Affordable Home Remedies For Common Sickness

Worries and troubles pertaining to the economy are driving more people to consider alternative remedies in order to avoid expensive physician consultations and prescription medicines. One option that is safe, affordable, and efficient is going au naturel!

That said, here are expert-recommended natural home remedies for the common sickness:

COLDS

It is forecasted to rain multiple times throughout the course of the month. As this cold weather is coming in, colds become increasingly common. The main virus that causes cold is still unknown. This is why the body relies on its own defenses. However, you can effectively ease its symptoms by staying hydrated.

Drink plenty of water, juices, or warm lemon water with honey to help prevent dehydration and loosen up the congestion. Stay away from alcohol, coffee, or caffeinated sodas as they can worsen your condition.

COUGH

Coughing helps your throat clear out phlegm and other irritants. A short-term cough lasting for about 3 weeks can usually signify a flu or a sinus infection. While long-term cough lasting for more than 3 weeks can signify an allergy or other disorders. Treat cough in its early stages by using honey. According to a 2007 study, honey relieves cough more efficiently than over-the-counter drugs that contain Dextromethorphan. So create your own remedy by mixing honey with warm water or lemon.

HEADACHE

Headaches are characterized by sharp pain, dull ache, or a throbbing sensation. It may appear abruptly or gradually and last from an hour to several days. To relieve the pain, grab a cup of brewed coffee. Studies show that 200 mg of caffeine (16 oz of brewed coffee) helps ease the headache and migraines. However, Dr. Robert Shapiro of University of Vermont Medical School suggests limiting caffeine intake and only using it to relieve headaches.

SORE THROAT

Sore throat is the irritation or pain of the throat that usually worsens when you swallow. It is the primary symptom of the inflammation of the throat (Pharyngitis). Treat sore throat by gargling a mixture of warm water (1 glass) and six pressed garlic cloves – twice a day. Stick to this routine for 3 days. This works because garlic has antimicrobial properties that fight pain-causing bacteria while the warm water soothes the inflamed tissue.
