Hobby - Singapore International Coin Fair 2012

Singapore International Coin Fair is here again.  I was there last year in which it is held in Suntec City and it was an nice fair.  I ended up buying a couple of NGC graded Panda Coins.

It seems that we have more exhibitors than last year(10 mints and 50 over dealers) taking part this year, coming from all over the world.  I am sure it will be a great event for all coin collectors in Singapore as well as all over the world.

One thing to take note is the location of the event.  Last year, the event was held in Suntec City.  But this year it have to move to another location (Marina Sand)

Please click here for more information of the event. Hope to see you guys there....

Food... Every person like to eat good food but the problem is that most good food is quite harmful to the body with high calories, high fats, etc. I know it is hard to resist the temptation of good food such as Laksa, Nasi Lemak, etc. Personally, I am overweight as it is really hard to say "No" to all the good food when I go past the hawker centre.

I am now on a diet to reduce weight to more healthier levels.  I have done some research on the internet to find out more on the calories contents of the food we are eating and tried to maintain a more stable and low calories food intake.

Knowing what you are intaking daily is vital to maintain a healthy lifestyle and ensure that you have a healthier body.  Nutrition.com.sg - Making Sense of Healthy Eating is one of the good website that I will recommend especially to Singaporean or people staying in Singapore as it have detail information on the common food that we have in Singapore hawker centres and coffee shops. It also have some advise on how we can have a healthy lifestyle by exercising regularly, etc..

Saving Tips – Saving Deposit

How many of you guys have this question in your mind? Where should I place my money? Investment fund? Equity Market? Forex? For some people those instruments are just too risky for their likings. So how about placing your saving in fixed deposit/saving account? So we go to the 3 major bank in Singapore asking about the interest rate, then you will say “oh my god”, how come the interest rate is so low now? Presently, the 3 major banks in Singapore (UOB/DBS/OCBC) is paying an interest rate of 0.05% for ordinary saving account and less than 1% for 1 year fixed deposit. Those rates are just too low when you start thinking of the high inflation rate recently. At 0.05%, a 10k saving deposit will yield just $5 a year. That is enough for a plate of vegetable rice and a can of drinks at the coffee shop.


So what should we do with our money then? If saving into the bank is your only option, maybe you can start looking at other banks other than the 3 major banks in Singapore for higher interest rate. But one thing to take note is to ensure that your saving is protected by the Singapore Deposit Insurance Scheme. Banks such as Maybank, SBI, Standard Chartered, NTUC Plus account give better interested rates. So maybe before depositing your money, it will be good to visit the website of different bank for the best rates before deciding where to place your cash….
