However, a quick check online reveals that the cost can go up to $25 for each person, with a famous caterer even offering a price of $18.80 for each guest. Just like how the selling price of roses spikes during Valentine's Day, food packages marketed as unique for that one occasion is usually overpriced. Caterers know you are less sensitive to the prices of food on this "special" day for your newborn. As such, they markup their prices heavily for such packages. Upon closer inspection, you realise that the menu items in a baby shower package are not much different from a normal buffet set, with the usual items such as cereal prawn, fried chicken, steamed vegetables, and fruit punch included. Do not limit your food options - you are better off paying for a typical buffet set which will cost only $8 to $12 for each guest. #2 HOST THE PARTY AT HOME, OR A RELATIVE'S FUNCTION ROOM Just like 21st birthday celebrations, it is easy to fall into the hype of holding a large-scale celebration at a … [Read more...] about 5 ways to save money when hosting a baby shower in Singapore

Uganda’s Bobi Wine charged with ‘annoying’ president
KAMPALA: A Ugandan court on Tuesday charged pop star turned leading opposition figure Bobi Wine with “annoying” President Yoweri Museveni, his lawyer told AFP. The singer, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi, appeared in court on a prior treason charge after he and other opposition politicians allegedly stoned Museveni’s convoy during a campaign rally in August last year. “He was charged with annoying the president” in relation to the same case, his lawyer Asuman Basalirwa told AFP. Wine, who entered parliament in 2017, has emerged as a leading critic of Museveni — who has been in power for over three decades — and has faced multiple detentions while authorities have frustrated his efforts to perform. He announced last month that he would take on Museveni in 2021 national elections. “This government of President Museveni is in panic mode. At first it was treason and now it is annoying President Museveni. Who on earth can’t be … [Read more...] about Uganda’s Bobi Wine charged with ‘annoying’ president
Uganda’s popstar MP Bobi Wine to contest 2021 presidential vote
KAMPALA: Ugandan pop star turned leading opposition figure Bobi Wine on Wednesday officially announced he would take on veteran President Yoweri Museveni in 2021 national elections. Wine has long hinted he would throw his hat into the ring and take on Museveni, who has been in power for over three decades, leaving Uganda’s youthful population hungry for change. “On behalf of the people of Uganda I am challenging you (Museveni) to a free and fair election in 2021,“ the singer, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi, announced at an event at his home in Kampala. Wine was wearing a red tie and his signature red beret, which he has called a “symbol of resistance”, a look copied by dozens of supporters of his “People Power” movement — which he has yet to register as a political party. As a pop star Bobi Wine, 37, blended lyrics on social justice and poverty with catchy Afrobeat rhythms, earning him committed fans among Uganda’s often poor … [Read more...] about Uganda’s popstar MP Bobi Wine to contest 2021 presidential vote
