Article: You're eligible to apply if you're the spouse, child, or parent of a Singapore citizen or permanent resident. You can also apply if you hold an Employment Pass or S Pass, if you're a student studying in Singapore, or if you're a foreign investor. Employment and S Passes are documents held by skilled foreign workers employed in Singapore. Your employer applies for these passes on your behalf. To apply as a foreign investor, your company must be involved in one of 25 specified industries, including aerospace engineering, electronics, healthcare, and shipping. Your company must generate at least S$50 million in net sales annually, and you must invest S$2.5 million in a new or expanded Singaporean business operation. Other than foreign investors, all applicants must apply through the e-PR; no paper applications are processed. You'll fill out your application form and submit digital copies of your required documents through the e-PR system. To begin your application, access the e-PR system at https://erep.ica.gov.sg/epr/index.xhtml. After you click "Apply for PR," you'll be prompted to continue as a worker, relative of a Singapore citizen or resident, or as a student. Foreign investors apply through the Global Investor Programme at https://application.sgip.gov.sg/public. In addition to your completed application form, passport, and birth certificate, you'll need to include at least 3 years of financial statements prepared by an accredited audit firm, your business license, and a 5-year business plan. After selecting worker, relative, or student, you'll be redirected to the SingPass website. Enter your credentials or sign up for a SingPass if you don't already have an account. Register for a SingPass account at https://www.singpass.gov.sg/singpass/register/instructions. After registering, you'll receive a password via standard mail within 5 business days (allow 10 business days if you live overseas). Follow the instructions included with the password to set up your account. You're eligible for a SingPass if you hold an Employment or S Pass, Long Term Visitor Pass, or Dependent Pass. You'll need to enter your Foreign Identification Number (FIN) or National Registration Identity Card (NRIC) number when you register. If you're not sure if you hold the right pass, check your eligibility and learn how to apply for each document at https://www.ica.gov.sg. After you enter your SingPass credentials, you'll be directed to the application portal. It's recommended to download the form, fill it out offline, then upload the completed document.

Article: Always wash and dry your hands before handling your contact lenses and keep your fingernails short to avoid scratching your eye when inserting them. Similarly, you should remove the lenses before washing off your makeup. This will avoid getting any makeup on your lenses. Doing so can spread infections or particles from one eye to the other. Be sure to follow the instructions that have been given to you by your optometrist. Also, make sure that you use fresh solution every time you store your contact lenses. Never reuse your solution. Cases should be changed every three months. Overuse can cause damage to the eye over time. Doing so won't damage your eyes, but it may be uncomfortable. To make sure you are inserting it the right way, hold the contact lens on your finger and view it from the side to see which way it folds. If the top edge of the lens flares out then it is inside out. Sleeping with contact lenses in your eye may cause irritation and dryness. If you experience eye redness, stinging, burning, or pain, this is a sign that something is wrong. Remove your lenses and stop using your contacts until you have talked to your optometrist.

Keep your lenses clean. Insert your contact lenses before applying makeup. Don't share your contact lenses with others. Clean and change your lenses regularly. Store your lenses in the proper case. Limit wearing your contacts to the length of time your eye-care professional has recommended. Make sure you don't insert your lenses inside-out. Be sure to take out your lenses before you go to sleep. Remove the lenses if you experience pain or irritation.
Article: This can be tricky, and it might take a little bit of self-reflection. However, it's extremely important to determine what led you to cheat in the first place. Were you stumped by the subject? Were you too busy with extracurricular activities to study? Did you feel pressured by your parents to get a perfect grade? Be honest with yourself about why you resorted to cheating, whether or not it is a great reason. You don't necessarily need to tell anyone what you figure out about yourself, but keep it as useful knowledge going forward. If you were confused about the subject matter on the test, make a plan to work with a tutor, study an extra hour after school, or meet with your teacher to ask questions. If you couldn't find the time to study between your other after school commitments, you need to quit some of your extracurriculars (or rearrange your schedule) in order to make school a priority. No matter what caused you to cheat, you should be able to make a plan to follow going forward. While apologizing and accepting your punishment is OK once, making this plan will help it from becoming a routine occurrence. This is your chance to prove yourself and show that you are not a cheater. Hold yourself accountable, and remind yourself how unpleasant your punishment was. If you need to study more, turn off your cell phone and really commit to studying for a block of time without distractions. If you need extra help, reach out to your teacher and schedule a time to meet that you can't flake on. You may need to make sacrifices in order to become a better student, but this will be worth it in order to avoid the temptation to cheat and the punishment that comes along with it.
