Yahoo News: Security Breach Angers Federer

It's been quite a while since I wrote something on my blog. Not that I have gone missing or what, just that I haven't been free to write for the past two weeks.

Now that I am back, let me start with some light-hearted post.

I was reading news on yahoo page (https://sg.yahoo.com/) and came across the following:

Yahoo Singapore News, Federer angry about security breach

Either the webmaster has been sleeping on the job or Federer is really angry about the security breach! Yahoo has to post the news twice!

SG50: NDP 2015 Tickets!

The application for tickets to the SG50 NDP 2015 has begun today!












Time line:

8 - 17 May: Tickets application

1 - 5 June: Notification of balloting results

5 - 14 June: Collection of tickets

Important notes:

1) Each ticket admits one spectator to the parade. Children (inclusive of infants) must hold a valid ticket to be admitted to the parade.

2) Each applicant must opt for 2, 4 or 6 tickets. The chances of winning 2 tickets would be higher than that of winning 4 or 6 tickets. Similarly, the chances of winning 4 tickets will be higher than that of winning 6 tickets.

3) Singaporean Citizens will have double chances in winning the tickets as compared to the Singapore Permanent Residents. Singapore Permanent Residents will have double chances in winning the tickets as compared to the previous NDP ticket winners.

4) Applicants who select "NO PREFERENCE" in the venue options will be balloted for BOTH locations, i.e. they will be balloted for both the Padang seats, as well as the Marina Floating Platform seats.

Comparison between OCBC 360 and UOB One

Now we have a showdown between OCBC and UOB and who do you think will emerge victorious?

OCBC 360 VS UOB ONE

Let's compare the PROS & CONS of the OCBC 360 account and the UOB One account.


Comparison Between OCBC 360 & UOB One
Comparison Between OCBC 360 & UOB One

Based on the table above, it seems like OCBC 360 wins hands down! But that's not actually the case. Unless you buy insurance or investment products from OCBC or your incremental on balance is huge, the actual interest rates for comparison is 2.25% (OCBC 360) vs 2.48% (UOB One).

Now you would think that UOB One wins! But that's not the case again.

There is ONE BIG factor that we need to consider:

How much money you have?

It all depends on how much money you have, isn't it?


Let's assume you are able to meet the basic requirements for OCBC 360 and UOB One.
(a) $500 spending
(b) Salary crediting OR 3 GIRO Debit transactions
(c) Pay 3 bills online
Bonus interest for buying insurance and investment products as well as for incremental increase in account balance will be omitted for an easier and clearer comparison.

Now you can see that if you have less than $40,000.00 (Actual figure is around $39,735.00), OCBC 360 will give you a better deal.

So what happens if I have MORE money?

Well, the table says it all, doesn't it?

If you have $39,735.00 or less, OCBC 360 gives you the best deal!
If you have between $39,736.00 and about $55,273.00, UOB One gives you the best deal! ( I calculated to the nearest dollar.)
If you have between $55,274.00 and $60,000.00, OCBC 360 gives you the best deal!

So, like I said, it all depends on how much money you have.

Of course, this is just a comparison based on the interest rates.

Hassle-free method of getting the best from the banks!
