    Help me ! I'm addicted to primes!

    I love all my manual primes. Happily traded quality over versatility. It is important to know the strong points of your primes though, before you start to make the best of it.

    Make-up-Pay for reservists

    ahlionel - CPF contribution is as per normal. Your company absorbs all CPF payments as per usual. ricohflex - this isn't about the money but the time. I'm fine if it's a 3 week callup, but don't take our weekends away from our family. As mentioned, service pay is minute and doesn't amount to...

    Make-up-Pay for reservists

    SAF shouldn't only pay you for your missing hrs at work. 1 example that illustrates this is RT. SAF pays half a day service pay when IPPT failures go for RT sessions. Claims is also not calculated on the hourly basis that you provided, but based on the number of working days of that...

    Make-up-Pay for reservists

    I have a question about compensation for reservists. A normal MUP claim is only based on your number of working days with your company. So if I am going to reservist from 14/1/11 to 28/1/11 and my company is on a 5 day workweek, my MUP claim to SAF would be: net pay/21*11 that would work...

    Anyone tried Vibram Fivefingers ?

    When you run barefoot it is not natural for your body to heelstrike. You'll tend to lean forward more when you run barefooted. Try it for yourself.

    5dmk2 price!

    Cats...where to find?

    back to TS question: cats are everywhere in SG la... don't really need to go to a specific place to see cats. There's a very beautiful stray cat in my neighbourhood that is being fed daily by an auntie. There are probably many cat lovers around that will do something similar. 1 thing i...

    Cats...where to find?

    Yes I agree the HDB policy of banning only cats but not dogs is not sound. But frankly, who cares? Loads of households still keep cats and I've not heard of HDB actively enforcing this policy(I can see it now-you'll throw up 1 or 2 links of HDB prosecuting some owners for keeping cats. but my...

    Cats...where to find?

    It's of course impossible for a cat to climb spiderman style up concrete walls... But! cats can climb stairs right? or it could even enter a lift with someone and get to whatever floor it is. It's also not impossible for a cat to get to a window(HDB type), especially when some households like...

    135f2 L vs 100f2.8 L macro

    If you buy the 100L for macro only, then HIS serves no purpose since you would be manual focusing for macro anyway. But 100L is a decent dual purpose lens if you're not too concerned with the bokeh and rendition for portraits that you will get with the 135L.
