Baby or no, is that your business?
For the first 20 odd years of my life, I've walked a predictable route.
I was drilled from young that, to succeed in life, I must study hard. I didn't study hard enough to get scholarships but it was passable. I walked the standard educational route, just like everyone else - passed my PSLE, passed my O Levels, went to JC and went to the local uni.

ReplyDeleteIt seems that it is still better than 2nd option maybank credit and it's associated savings program.

ReplyDeleteOne more surprise I just found. They annual fee of $190 cannot be fully waived. Only partially waiver. Have to pay $50 plus GST. The CSO claimed it's recent change in marketing decision, and said because the card has better rebates!?
ReplyDeleteWhat?! Did u pay it or choose to cancel the card in the end?
DeleteAfter reading the above with all the T&C, not going to apply for it after all. Why bother if they want to play these "must jump thru all the hoops" game
ReplyDeleteVery disappointing in fact :( was advocating boc to family and friends previously ... was not even note that the changes took place
