Umm guys I’ve got to be honest here. I’ve been putting off writing this article for a few days.It’s been tough having to juggle between work commitments, family, friends, MRT breakdowns and the like.
Before you accuse me of promoting poor work habits, we’ve all made excuses to avoid uncomfortable situations at work, right?
And here are the 10 excuses every Singaporean uses at work 😉
Hands up if you read your work emails in bed before going to sleep. We at FiiT advocate hard work and a healthy work ethic in the office. However, there’s a fine line when it comes to being a highly committed employee and letting your job interfere with your personal life.
So dear readers, if you feel like a hamster on a treadmill of the neverending cycle of work, here are some signs it may be time to get more balance in your life.
8 hours. That’s the average time we spend at work. That’s also the same amount of time you get stuck with a variety of colleagues, from the cool to the uh.. not so cool.
Hey everyone! It’s been a while since we did a review so with the Voilah! French Festival currently in full swing (4th May – 21st June 2015), we thought we’d tell you about two events we visited:
The Little Prince in the Dark and The Little Prince Art Collection. Yes you heard that right, the world-famous tale with the equally famous characters (the Prince, the Fox and the Lamplighter, just to name a few) are having their own exhibition in sunny Singapore!
Contrary to popular belief, there are other things besides artsy snaps of food and cringe-worthy selfies taken in the mirror that get uploaded on Instagram.

You may be spending close to $70 per week on lunches alone, and tossing a bag full of packaging, containers, and plastic flatware into the garbage each day. Meanwhile, the groceries you bought from Sheng Siong over the weekend are spoiling. Also it’s well-documented that we eat more fat and sodium when we eat out, so wonder no more when you find yourself feeling sluggish in the afternoon.
Struggling to stay on task while working at home? Don’t worry, you’re not alone.
Here are some awesome work-at-home tips and tricks to keep you productive.
