Many years ago, I bought into a few unit trusts. I recently received reports from two which I have been a unit holder of since their inceptions:

If we are going to buy a shoebox apartment (506 sq ft in size or smaller) as an investment property, make sure to buy in CCR or RCR (central region).
Don't buy one in OCR.
As developers tried to move their stock more quickly, they introduced shoebox apartments in OCR in the last couple of years.
As investment properties, National Development Minister Khaw Boon Wan cautioned not too long ago that this was an untested market.
According to Square Foot Research, out of 50 projects with shoebox apartments completed since 2012, 38 are located in the central region and these saw a higher rental take-up rate compared to those in OCR. They also rented for as much as $3,400 a month or about $6.72 psf (based on a unit of 506 sq ft in size).

I watched Full Metal Alchemist many years ago. That was the first anime adaptation of the manga in 2003. I didn't know they had a second anime adaptation in 2009.

Predictions such as the recent one by Barclays for a significant correction in housing prices in Singapore by 2015 are getting rather common.
"We believe the risk of a residential property market correction in the next
two years is rising, as expected higher interest rates look set to coincide with
a large increase in housing supply over 2014-15," Tricia Song, analyst at
Barclays wrote in a report on Friday, 27 Sep 13.
In such a situation, can we expect certain segments of the housing market to weather the decline better than others?
In The Business Times today, I read that "prices of small completed private apartments (up to 506 sq ft) climbed for the second month in a row to hit a new peak in August."

When I was a boy, I used to wonder why older folks liked to rub medicated oil on their temples. I didn't like the sharp and stinging scent.
You know what they say about how only time can teach us certain things. This is one of those things.
For about 10 years now, I have been using medicated oil regularly. 10 years? Do I keep a record? No, I kept the empty bottles:
