Apparently, it was Bai Jingting's first screen kiss. Sadly, Sandra Ma was criticized by netizens for her weight in the show - she did fight back. I found her extremely authentic. I think it didn't help that she was co-starring alongside Bai Jingting who is really quite thin. Wife thought Bai is too...

I also fear living into my 90s - my grandmother did, and my mother is in her mid-80s and in pretty good health although we can see things "wearing out". While Chinese like to wish each other long life, I think I would like "long" defined as 70+, not 90+! My grandmother was a widow for about 20 year...

Each trip to ntuc, I am sure to find prices of items gone up. FP sweetcorn used to be $1.30 and now is $1.35. a lot of things has gone up in price since start of 2022, then again during CNY, probably 20~30% total. If there's something that didn't go up as much, you have to check if they shrink the ...

Not easy to have a child to be so composed in fr...

Oh yes, not long ago 袁咏仪‘s son got into "trouble" with netizens for "differentiating" Hong Kong from China.

these days need to be politically (literally in this case) correct in whatever one says

but for me, 'HK' is more like whether the actors are TVB originated

Each couple has different lifestyle & therefore different amount required. I’d take the current monthly expediture (assuming you want to continue living same lifestyle), then multiply by 12 months. Remember to also add in health insurance costs (payable annually) & medicine costs (for the 三高 and ac...

100k per year means 8k+ per mth.
if the couple can live 30 years more, they would need 100k x 30 = 3 mil

I guess that's the difference between getting by with what is necessary and maintaining the current lifestyle.

Assuming you are 65 now and just retired from your job. For whatever reason, you don't own any property. You have a spouse in a similar situation. Both relatively health, with the usual elderly aches and pain and maybe medically controlled 三高。 How much do you foresee you and your spouse will need in...
