Revolver @ Tras Street

Take the potent flavors of Indian cuisine, pair them with equally bold modern cooking techniques, and you get a dining experience like no other at Revolver on Tras Street. With young chef Saurabh Udinia at the helm, Revolver is one of the hottest restaurants in Singapore. It has become such a massive hit that they actually require a reservation of 60 days in advance.

What is the buzz all about? It is the brilliant marriage of fresh, seasonal ingredients and unparalleled mastery of the grill to create exciting dishes, such as their fresh paneer with Indian milk fudge, cashews, and green chilies, charred in the tandoori oven, and served with coriander pesto.

HIGHLIGHTS:

• Sleek and stylish design: Modern sophistication is the motif at Revolver, ranging from the menu to its industrial-chic interiors, its open kitchen, and the staff’s all-black ensemble.

MENU: Revolver’s menu revolves around the seasons to ensure only the freshest and highest-quality produce is served. It has a five-course lunch menu and three dinner menus with a thoughtfully delicious all-vegetarian option as well.

MUST-TRIES:

Anglo Indian Cafe & Bar @ Chijmes

Anglo Indian Café & Bar brings together the best of each of these regions to produce award-winning dishes like Madras Prawn Curry, Goan Fish Curry, and Saag Gosth.
• Masala Chach: Anglo Indian’s Masala Chach, or Butter Milk, is a highlight of its own. It’s possibly one of the most unique drinks you’ll ever encounter: chilies, ginger, and coriander leaves mixed with buttermilk and seasoned with salt and pepper. Your Anglo Indian experience won’t be complete without this special drink.

MENU: Anglo Indian Café & Bar’s menu features some of India’s most prized street food, tandoori items, curries and stews, rice, bread, desserts, and beverages. They also offer a wide array of soft drinks, cocktails, and wines.

Celebrating the Modern Day Mom on this Special Day!

When a friend gets us something, we try to out-do them and give them something better, something they’ll genuinely like and appreciate. However, what do you give a person who has given you the greatest gift of all… life itself? It’s impossible to get them anything remotely equal; forget better than that. Still, moms, the most precious creatures on earth, deserve everything and more.

Perhaps you’re grateful for the mother of your kids and how influential and inspirational she has been in your own and your kids’ lives and want to get her something as a token of your appreciation for what she does tirelessly. Or maybe you’re here because you have a mother-like figure in your life, the superhero mom who has selflessly kept you under her wings and is the one person you know that’ll drop anything they’re doing on your call and be there with you.

Every 2nd Sunday in May, we leave our busy schedules and get a token of our love for our mothers and the mother-like figures in our lives and either send it over to them or take it to them by ourselves. These gifts show them that we appreciate all they’ve done for us, and continue to do with herculean strength.

Mothers – A Gift like No Other

1. The Birth Mother
How can you possibly thank a woman who birthed you, fed you, nursed you, rocked you through sleepless nights, and dedicated her life to you? A mother’s job starts long before her child enters the world and goes on till after they’ve stood on their own two feet and entered practical life to take on the many challenges it throws their way.

Motherhood might be the single-toughest job out there. Their selfless love and protective nature make them worry about their kids more than themselves. Mothers keep doing everything selflessly, from cooking their kids’ favorite meals, reading to them, tucking them at night, checking for monsters under the bed to comfort the kids, or planning a vacation.

This Mother’s Day, make a plan to repay some of the love you’ve continually received from the woman you call your mother.

2. The Super Hero Mother
Is your mother, sister, or best friend a single parent? Are you genuinely indebted to her/inspired by her for her constant striving to give you/her kids as complete a life as possible? She practically fought the world alone to raise her kids, focusing on wanting the best for them. Trying to work full-time while juggling caregiving, maintaining a life of her own, and boosting the kids’ confidence makes her a superhero that deserves recognition like no other.

This Mother’s Day, celebrate her and let her know how her struggles in life have inspired you, helped you uncover your own aspirations, and likely moved others to go far in their lives.

3. The Working Mom
Mothers that put in extra working hours to pay the bills, get the groceries, buy that special toy for their kid and manage the housework are a unique creation. They maintain the perfect work-life balance to support their children in every decision and help them stay grounded through their stresses and worries.

This unparalleled dedication encourages the kids to become the best version of themselves. This Mother’s Day, do something as beautiful for them as they have done raising you or your kids.

4. The Gen X Mother
Do you see that Gen X mother in your life? Notice how her life revolves around parenting her kids. With a hawk-like focus on improving their parenting abilities and being super-focused on work-life balance, they are probably the most level-headed mothers who tend to be very involved in their kids’ lives.
Everything from volunteering for school trips to prom nights, they are their kids’ biggest cheerleaders. It’s only fair that they have their significant others or best friends looking out for them and applauding them this Mother’s Day for their round-the-clock pouring of love, affection, and attention for their kids and husbands.

5. The Mother of Our Mother
Grandmothers who are fiercely protective of their grandkids without crossing their children’s boundaries make this list. No holiday events are complete without a festive lunch or dinner at their place. They are a constant presence in their grandkids’ lives and deserve all the love and appreciation their kids and grandkids shower on them every Mother’s Day.

Selecting the Perfect Gift

Dads, if you’re looking for something special for your spouse, you need to get something that lets them know they have been the one constant in your and the kids’ lives you have always been able to count on.

Tell them how grateful you are for their love on days when you find it hard even to like yourself. Thank them for their countless acts of selflessness. But that’s the thing. We forget to say thank you far too often. Or we don’t know how best to thank our safe-havens. We might never be able to tell them how appreciative we are of all they’ve made us into, but we can dedicate this day to them and make it memorable.

Choose a gift that speaks volumes. Something that shows your absolute gratefulness for the continual support, love, and cares these mother figures have showered upon you and your children throughout the years.

Flowers – the Unbeatable of all Gifts

All moms deserve something special this Mother’s Day. A classic gift of stunning long-stemmed roses in a beautifully wrapped box is something that you can’t go wrong with. You can also pair up the gorgeous roses with a box of Godiva Chocolates or Scented Candles. Receiving a cheerful and unforgettable gift like this will surely bring a smile to the modern-day mom in your life, and let’s face it, that’s all that we’re really after, right?

This mother’s day, show your partner how much they mean to you and your kids by presenting her with a lovely bouquet of vibrant, fragrant roses. Roses are used to representing love – something that the lady in your life constantly showers on you and your little ones.

5 Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Skills Future Training

Singapore has one of the best education systems in the world. The country’s education system benefits not only school-age learners but also working professionals, particularly those who want to improve their career prospects and ensure that their skills will remain relevant to their respective fields.

Lifelong learning is the norm in a country as forward-looking as Singapore. In fact, according to a 2016 survey, 2 out of 3 Singaporeans want to further their education, and nearly half want to attain a postgraduate degree. In part, this is because they want to advance their careers and improve their employability. Meeting this demand is one of the objectives of SkillsFuture, a government-led initiative that aims to provide Singapore citizens and permanent residents (PRs) with opportunities that will empower them to maximise their potential, regardless of their backgrounds.

What Is SkillsFuture?

SkillsFuture is a national programme that’s designed to equip Singaporeans and PRs from all walks of life with the tools that they need to excel in their respective fields and, in their own way, pave the way for a better future for the country. The Singapore government believes that the combined contribution of every individual will enable the country to reach its next level of development, and the Skills Future courses offered by the programme will help ensure that the country’s labour force will be prepared to meet the changing needs of Singapore and the world at large.

Given the opportunity to improve your skillset and skill level, how can you make sure that you will make the most of the SkillsFuture programme? Here are a few tips that you should keep in mind.

Determine What Your Goal Is and What You Must Do to Reach It

First and foremost, it’s important to have an objective in mind. Why are you keen on taking a course in the first place? Do you want to use it to advance your current career path, or are you in the process of shifting to a new career and you’re checking out your options? Where do you see yourself in the next few years, and how can taking a SkillsFuture course help you reach that goal? If you already have a specific objective in mind, it can be much easier to choose courses and schedules that will benefit you in the long run.

Explore Your Course Options, Digital or Otherwise

Humanity is currently living in the information age, and organisations and individuals must keep up with the latest technologies in order to thrive in this era. However, this doesn’t mean that digital courses are your only option when you sign up for a SkillsFuture course. Among the areas of study that learners can focus on are advanced manufacturing, cybersecurity, data analytics, digital media, entrepreneurship, finance, tech-enabled services, and urban solutions. Under these general areas of study are over 400 courses that cater to beginner, intermediate, and advanced students. Check out your options and find the choice that is best aligned with your interests and future goals.

Treat Your SkillsFuture Credit Like It’s Your Own Money

The SkillsFuture program is open to Singaporeans and permanent residents alike, and students can use their SkillsFuture Credit to pay for the fees needed to take their courses. In addition to a 70% course fee subsidy for citizens and PRs, students can also be sponsored by their companies. People from different demographics can likewise access a number of additional benefits that will make these courses even more accessible.

Still, it’s important to be selective of the courses that you’re going to take. Even if your education is subsidised, you still need to invest your own time, energy, and money to make the most of this learning opportunity. Also, it’s a smart idea to compare the prices of similar training courses offered by different providers to find the one that will give you the best value for money.

Develop a Personal Learning Plan

Everyone has to start somewhere, and some SkillsFuture courses can be too advanced for beginners or even intermediate learners. As such, there are training providers that require prospective students to fulfil certain criteria before they can sign up for a particular course. Given this condition, it’s important to make a personal learning plan, one where you have clear short- and long-term goals and how you can achieve them. If you’re planning to take a series of courses, for example, you can plot out the progression of the courses you need to take and pass to achieve your goals. If you want to widen your knowledge of a specific field, then it’s a good idea to outline the courses you need to take to develop a deeper understanding of your chosen subject.

Start Advancing Your Skills as Soon as Possible

The SkillsFuture programme is quite new, being only established in 2015. But now is a good time as any to plan how it can help you. Determine when you’re going to start taking courses and attending training sessions so you can have as much time as you need to complete what you started. In addition, keep in mind that your SkillsFuture Credits have an expiration date, and there are programmes that may only be able to accommodate a limited number of students. Before your credits expire, you should have a concrete idea of how to use them.

Check out the SkillsFuture programme as early as possible, and use the opportunity to hone skills that will be highly in demand in the future. At the same time, indulge your love of learning and find courses that will help you maximise your potential as a professional and as a productive member of modern society.

5 Best Smart TVs To Buy in Singapore [Shopping Guide]

Television is considered one of the essential entertainment equipment for our homes. Whether you are a sports lover or want to stay updated with recent news, this is still the most convenient way.

With continuous technological advancements, TVs are also upgraded with advanced options. Whether it is resolution, sound quality, features, or entertainment options, everything has observed a complete revamp in the past few years. Besides enjoying satellite television channels, the entry of intelligent TVs has opened up new horizons of entertainment. Furthermore, by connecting with the internet, you can enter into a whole new world to enjoy your favorite music, movies, talk shows, or sports events without any restriction of time.

Like other smart devices, TVs are also evolving, and every other day, you must read about new possibilities. In this situation, it becomes very confusing, precisely when you are out in the market to buy a new smart TV.

Things To Consider Before Buying A Smart TV In Singapore

Today, if you visit an online store or your nearest electronics shop to buy a smart TV, you will be bombarded with several unknown terms, e.g., LED, OLED, 4K, etc. Besides this, when it comes to smart, different TVs come with varying options, which usually depend on the software. In other words, how “smart” your TV will be is based on some factors. Confusing? Isn’t it?

Well, worry not. Our tech gurus have reviewed all of these factors for you and compiled a list of aspects you need to consider before buying a smart TV. After going through this, you will be in a position to understand the complex terms and will be in a position to buy what exactly you need.

Screen resolution and size

Let’s put it simply: The higher the screen resolution, the higher will be the sharpness of the picture. Of course, there is no use for a smart TV in your living room to show you blurry images. Therefore, screen resolution is one of the most critical factors you should consider while buying a smart TV. In the market, you will find options of resolution, mainly 1080p and 4K. The higher the number is, the higher the pixels per inch, which means you will have a more precise and sharper image on your screen. So, if you are looking for a crystal clear experience, consider choosing the higher resolution.

Software

The software inside your TV will define how “smart” it is. Many smart TVs available in the market come with proprietary software with various advanced Wi-Fi, USB connectivity, and screencasting. Nonetheless, if you imagine options similar to your smartphone, you might have to consider a smart TV based on Android. Plenty of options can be found in the market, even at a competitive price that comes with the full support of Android and advanced connectivity options, and the ability to sideload apps.

Sound quality

If you are a sound lover, you must be concerned about how your new smart TV will sound. The ugliest reality of many intelligent TVs is that the sound quality will often be compromised no matter how expensive the TV is. Recently, several brands have been offering smart TVs with the option of surround sound and 3D sound. Unlike conventional variants with a speaker beneath the main screen, these models offer a better sound experience. So, if you are looking for a perfect sound, go for these options.

Screen refresh rate

Surprisingly, screen refresh rate is not among the most-talked factor when considering the purchase of a smart TV. However, if you are a fan of watching action movies or playing games on your smart TV, this is undoubtedly among the essential factors. With a higher screen refresh rate, your TV will have the ability to process frames quickly to avoid any lag. In simple terms, the higher the screen refresh rate, the smoother the processing of pictures will be on your TV screen.

Connectivity options

When we talk about a smart TV, how can we miss its options for connectivity with other devices? Ideally, with a smart TV, you should be able to connect your conventional cable network receiver, an HDMI output, screencasting, and USB input. Depending upon your individual needs, you can also inquire about these options while choosing your next smart TV.

End-of-Life Planning in Singapore: How to Be One Step Ahead

Having an end-of-life plan on hand will prove to be a boon when the inevitable approaches. The preparations you make for your estate will bring you peace of mind that your wishes will be honoured even if you’re no longer capable or present to carry them out yourself. At the same time, it will help you ensure that the people that matter the most to you will be looked after whatever happens.

No matter what your age is, it’s a good idea to ensure that your end-of-life plan is in place and that it is updated periodically. The good news is that for Singapore citizens and residents, there are guides that can help you make a plan that will cover all your concerns in a format that can be easily understood by the people who will carry it out for you. The resources provided by government agencies can help you get started on your estate planning Singapore project, and these references can also serve as a guide should you want to update your existing plan in the future. Here’s how you can get started.

Understand Why You’re Planning in the First Place

To ensure that your future plans will be aligned with your objectives, you need to have a clear idea of why you’re planning in the first place. Perhaps you want to have a say on how you will be cared for in case you get injured or ill. Maybe you have someone in your family that requires specific care arrangements, or you’re the breadwinner of your family and you want your dependents to be cared for in a particular way in case you become incapacitated. It can also be that you want to take care of your funeral details before it happens so you can give your family time to grieve.

There are many reasons for taking care of your end-of-life plan ahead of time. Knowing your reason for doing so can help you choose the best actions to help you achieve your goals.

Gather All Your Important Documents and Keep a Virtual Copy of Them 

The first step in preparing for your end-of-life decision is to get a copy of all your important documents. It’s a must to keep them in an organised manner so that whoever will be taking care of executing your wishes will have an easier time dealing with all the processes they need to complete. Among the things you need to have a copy of are your will, identification documents, birth certificate, and marriage and divorce certificates, if applicable, as well as copies of the documents that concern your tangible and intangible assets, debts, your directives for managing your estate tax Singapore obligation, and other financial responsibilities. Keep a physical as well as a virtual copy of these papers by uploading them on the My Legacy secure vault.

Share Your Funeral Wishes and Make the Necessary Arrangements 

Planning for your funeral ahead of time will ensure that people know exactly what you want to happen when you’re no longer around. Also, taking care of your funeral arrangements before you need it will give your loved ones a bit of breathing space in an emotionally charged period in their lives. Choose a funeral services provider that you are happy with and purchase a plan or package from them to reduce the financial stress on the people that you’ll leave behind. Plus, give your service providers the number of the person who will care for your funeral affairs for you.

Also, your loved ones should be well aware of the arrangements that you’ve prepared. Choose someone to manage your final affairs for you and ensure that they’re prepared to handle this responsibility. Make a note of your funeral preferences too, such as how you want the remains to be handled, where the funeral will take place and the kind of ceremony that you want to be carried out.

Prepare Legal Documents for Your Future Needs

Some of the essential documents to your end-of-life plan will come from you. Among the records that you need to prepare are your advance care plan (ACP), lasting power of attorney (LPA), and advance medical directive (AMD). Your ACP and AMD should reflect the values and factors that you want to consider for your treatment in the event that you no longer have the capacity to decide for yourself. An LPA, on the other hand, enables you to assign someone of age to manage your affairs in case you are not able to do this yourself.

Life can be unpredictable. Preparing for things that you don’t expect to have much control over will help you feel more at ease with whatever may come your way. With an end-of-life plan prepared, you can focus your full attention on setting goals for yourself, pursuing your dreams, and building relationships that really matter to you. In this way, having an end-of-life plan on the ready can help you live in the moment and have a more firm hand in determining your destiny.

5 Things to Avoid after a Taoist Funeral

There are certain traditions and rites that you will always find among people from different walks of life. This is especially true for occasions such as marriage, death, and funerals.

If you want to understand Taoists or live among them, knowing what to avoid after a Taoist funeral is important so you can respect their culture and live in harmony with them.

A Brief Introduction to Taoism

Taoism is a philosophical system developed by Chuang Tzu and Lao Tzu. This system advocates a life of naturalness and simplicity, without interfering with the course of natural events. The aim is to attain a happy life in harmony with the Tao.

This religion and philosophy originated in China and has existed for more than 2,000 years. The Taoist attitude toward life is characterised by acceptance and yielding, which complements a duty-conscious and morally purposeful approach to living.

As a culture, Taoists have a unique view of death, which they describe as a “release from the corpse” or Shijie. Taoists believe in eternal life and consider death as just another chapter in one’s journey.

Before death, it is wise to prepare for eventualities, especially to ease the emotional and practical burdens during the mourning period. If you’re unsure where to begin, you can explore some of the best funeral services in Singapore to understand the available options and support during this difficult time.

Taoist funeral services can help families prepare for difficult times, often guided by dialect traditions. With these arrangements in place, families can focus on mourning their loved ones in peace.

Like many cultures, Taoism has specific dos and don’ts during and after a funeral. Below are five things you should avoid after a Taoist funeral, based on traditional practices.

1. Trimming Hair and Nails

Children or grandchildren of the deceased should avoid trimming their hair and nails for at least 49 days after the funeral.

This stems from the belief that hair and nails are gifts from one’s parents, and therefore should not be cut during the mourning period. It is customary to wait at least 49 days before doing so.

2. Avoid Visiting Friends and Relatives

Another practice is to avoid visiting friends and relatives for 49 days after the burial, as this is the typical mourning period.

Instead, Taoists are encouraged to spend this time reflecting and allowing their emotions to settle after the loss.

During this period, family members may offer weekly or fortnightly offerings at the spiritual tablet as a sign of respect and remembrance for the deceased.

3. Refrain from Entertainment

After the funeral, family members and close relatives are expected to refrain from entertainment and celebrations.

A 49-day mourning period is commonly observed as a way of showing respect. During this time, attending joyous occasions such as weddings or newborn celebrations is generally discouraged.

4. Avoid Wearing Bright Colours

Wearing bright-colored clothing is also discouraged during the mourning period. The duration of this restriction may vary depending on dialect traditions.

In some cases, white clothing is worn for the first seven days, after which other colours may be introduced. In other traditions, immediate family members may avoid bright colours for up to 100 days.

5. Avoid Marriage During the Mourning Period

Sons of the deceased are traditionally discouraged from getting married within six months of a parent’s passing.

If a wedding had already been planned, it is usually postponed to the following year to allow for a proper mourning period.

In addition, there are other practices to observe. For example, items associated with the deceased, such as clothing, are often burned rather than kept. This is part of traditional funeral rites.

Conclusion

Even if you are not a Taoist, understanding these customs can be helpful. While you may not be required to follow them, being aware of these practices allows you to show respect for others’ beliefs and traditions.

This understanding helps you live harmoniously with your neighbours, especially during sensitive times of loss.

In some cases, attending a Taoist funeral may involve participating in rituals such as the burning of joss paper, also known as “ghost money.” These practices are rooted in beliefs about the afterlife and are carried out with deep respect.

Understanding them can help you avoid unintentional offence and appreciate the cultural significance behind these traditions.

Your mom has raised you and always made sure you’re well catered for. As such, it’s your time now to turn back and give her a treat like no other and this could target the hub of the home and that’s her kitchen.

What about a casserole soup pot or a lovely rice maker? You could think of something she doesn’t have but always wanted to add to her kitchen.

7.   Decorative throw pillows

Moms are homemakers and something that touches on home décor could also be an ideal gift to shower them with love.

Throwing pillows can help convey the message to your mom letting her know that she’s special and you recognize her efforts to keep the home warm. Such a gift can be packed alongside a cheery bouquet or gourmet chocolates to make her feel special.

Conclusion

With Mother’s Day approaching, these gifts are definitely capable of lighting up your mom’s face and sending some love to her heart in a unique way. Our moms have loved us since day one and supported us through thick and thin.

As a way of showing some gratitude, we can shower them with some love even without spending too much in the process. Remember, it’s not the cost of the gift that counts but the love shown to these dear ladies we call our moms.
