One of the biggest advantage of renting a vehicle is that you don’t need all the hassle of purchasing a vehicle. I am pretty sure that if you have bought a vehicle before, you would understand what I mean. You need to get all your particulars, your bank information, your credit, your insurance and much more. It is just so troublesome. Furthermore when you purchase a car, the value of the car immediately drops. This is definitely something which you would want to consider when you are thinking of buying your own car. And after you purchase your car, you will need to take it in for servicing and repairs. You will also need to worry about paying for insurance and premiums. So much trouble just for a car to bring you to and fro from work.

So why not rent a car? You might think that it is more expensive in the long run but do remember that your car do depreciates in value over time. It does not mean that the price of your car remains as high when you sell it in a few years down the road.  How about insurance? Remember, you will need to pay for insurance yourself and this will factor into the cost. How about servicing and repairs? You will have to pay for those as well after the first few free servicings. Unless you are a real car fan, do you really need to own your car? Why not let others worry about insurance, servicing and among others for you. All you want is a vehicle that drives you to work. Some rental companies even allow you to choose your own model, make and colour if you sign a long term contract with them. So, this is just like getting your very own vehicle, less the headaches.

Most rental companies will provide you with alternate transport when they send the vehicle in for servicing or repairs. You don’t need to even send the vehicle for servicing yourself! You don’t need to do anything else. All you have to do is to pay for the fuel and parking. That’s it. What could be simpler than that?

So if you are interested in renting a vehicle, please take a look at the listing of Singapore Car / Vehicle Rental Companies I have created. Hope that it can be a very useful guide for you.

Well, I was at Upper Serangoon today and there was a shop selling yogurt and I bought myself a plain yogurt. This means that the plain yogurt does not come with any flavourings or any sugar at all. Yes, all natural. The brand I purchased was the Emmi brand. I always wanted to taste what yogurt tasted like without any flavouring. I am sure that most of us also never tasted plain yogurt before. We often purchase those yogurt that comes with fruits, nuts, sugar and other additives. Well, I have just tasted yogurt and I was really surprised by the taste. Plain yogurt taste very sour! Some of you guys might say that the yogurt I bought is expired but I checked and it is not expired and the appearance of the yogurt seems normal. Just that it is sour and tart. But the yogurt I bought was very creamy and after the first few spoons, I got used to the sourness and I actually enjoyed eating it.

So if one day you would like to start eating healthy and try plain yogurt, don’t be surprised that it taste very different from the yogurt you had eaten before. It is very good for you as well. I don’t need to tell you guys the health benefits of yogurt. I have done that countless times already, please read my previous blog posts. However, what I would like to do is to encourage you guys to eat yogurt. If you don’t like the tartness and the sourness of plain yogurt, you can always mix with a little sugar and some fruits. Or you can easily buy from the stores yogurt that comes pre-flavoured and eat them out of the cup. If you are thinking of a refreshing drink, yogurt too works. Mix yogurt with a little water, a little sugar and some salt and you will have a really refreshing  yogurt drink. Of course, you can buy them from the stores as well. I have seen a lot of yogurt drinks being sold. If you are into cooking, you can also replace cream or butter with yogurt. Yes, the health benefits are reduced due to the cultures being killed during the  cooking process, but you will have less fat in your food.For kids, they will surely love yogurt. My nephew loves yogurt with fruits. In my opinion, it is better than milk or ice cream. And when you purchase yogurt from stores, make sure that you read the label and it has LIVE & ACTIVE CULTURES. It must have live & active cultures for you to have the full benefits of yogurt.

Soon, I might be doing a little comparison between different brands of yogurt found in our local stores. The important thing is to read the labels. And of course, we should have all important the taste test. If it doesn’t taste good, it is very hard to get people to eat the yogurt. Just that sometimes, good tasting foodstuff might not actually be healthy for us. I hope that the comparison will help consumers choose a better product for themselves. Don’t worry, I won’t be recommending any product myself. Just my opinions.
