Brand New Year 2015

SunRise 2015

A brand new year- 2015. And let continue to build our bigfatpillar in this New Year!

It been a long time since i last took any sunrise picture, after my camera spoilt for nearly 1 year. Finally today i made my first sunrise picture trip for 2015 after i purchase another second hand camera and with a new Sigma len. Note: I took this picture with D7000 and Sigma 17-50 len.

As usual for any New Year in the past, i went through my financial status for my family and my parent and i sourcing the web for information on Singapore high interest saving account and i came across this good article. One general finding, almost all banks now provide new scheme of saving account with higher interest rate,which i reckon was due to new MAS ruling. And in this article, I summarize some of the highest interest rate savings bank deposits in here and of course the full credit go to http://www.moneylobang.com/deposit-rates-promotion.php for providing the information.
