5 more to go...

finally... after 5 yrs...
i can finally count it in 1 hand...

after spending thousands of dollars, burning millions of candles..
i am finally down with 5 more modules...

i tot its a something smooth courses which is so cheap. but its a lot of sweat and hard work... i made a 7 yr allowance to complete the whole course as i am a lousy student with poor memory.

the last 5 modules are also the most hardest of all.

actually i dont have the confident to complete the course. but seeing the whole office taking the same exam papers this round, it makes me stress...

if i fail, it means i may fall back in terms of promotion and increment. i dont have ppl to company me study in coi anymore. so i will be missing for quite a few sessions, including our RP show on 8 March.

failure means further drop of confidence.
ppl asked y i started course in feb instead of jan. well.. no confidence bah...

maybe that y i still lonely...

first time we had CNY company dinner. normally, we juz had lunch and tat's all.

dogs

i am a bit crazy abt dogs these few days...
surprising, i dont remember seeing many animals in China. maybe its winter, they went for holiday in the South liao

pets are nice to company with if one is bored. Cats are said to be able to claim human down. Fish are quite boring lor... Only see them swim everyday. They are more of a decor than a pet. Small size dogs are cute but i like big dogs

Husky!

Golden Retriever

My favorite... Shepherd.

i dont think we can keep big dogs in HDB, sian..

the ugliest dog... I WILL NEVER try to own it... Bulldog... always pull long face...


i think the Shih Tzu is also known as Shi Zi Gou or something like tat...

but i got scare of big dogs after i visited my client's place...
they got 10 BIG dogs in their premises. they started running to me whenever i try to reach the director's room

this is the mother dog.

T3

welcome to HOLLAND!!!




anyone interested to buy tv advertisment for yuan xiao?
Went to visit T3 today.


Its very spacious!!! i believe its meaning due to the opening in the ceiling

there are plants grown in the building walls, i believe its called crawlers or something like that.

trees can also b found...

a UFO in the airport? neh... there is e ceiling of a restaurant. nice right?


the restricted areas...

there is a floor of shops on level 3, juz below the viewing hall



one thing i dont like is the viewing hall, its looks quite far from the plane

Budget 08 - my expected and actual

Personal

1) Tax rebate of 20% for all resident taxpayers for Year of Assessment 2008. The rebate will be capped at $2,000

2) Estate duty will be removed for deaths occurring on and after 15 February 2008.
This is slightly unexpected. I tot this will come in next year. Estate duty is actually the tax of asset of deceased. Meaning if i die, my things are subjected to tax on the receiptants

3) Growth Dividends given to all adult Singaporeans, to be paid out in two instalments in April and October this year.
Older Singaporeans will have 1.5 times more

Three-room HDB flat or smaller with assessable income less than $24k, will receive a Growth Dividend of $400, on top of the $250 in GST Credits from last yr

Others will receive a Growth Dividend of $300, on top of $200 in GST Credits.

NSMen got another $100

4) I still trying to study the CPF Life Bonus for age 50 and above.

5) Post Sec account to be topped between $150 - $600. THere is also increase in Uni / Poly Bursaries.



Business

1) Grants tax exemption to NEW family-owned INVESTMENT HOLDING companies to the extent that the tax exemption mirrors the tax exemption on qualifying locally-sourced investment income [SSIE] and foreignsourced income [FSIE] granted to individuals. Valid from 1 April 2008 to 31 March 2013.

2) Allowance will be granted for expenditure on all fixtures, fittings, and installations, except those expenses relating to structural works and expansion of space. The special allowance is to be written off over three years, and is subject to a cap of $150,000.



Expectation
1) I expecting personal income tax reduction but dont have lor. Well, at least got tax rebate. But no effect on me cos i no need to pay

2) Estate duty is expected to be ceased but i tot it might happen next year.

3) I told boss that the govt is giving me $500 this yr. Guess wat! they really giving $500!!!

cny

welcome me back



must start backdating.

its my new policy to go temple visiting on first day. cos normally i will go too early to my grandma's place. so ppl will either help in kitchen or watch tv. dont guess wat i doing.

i decided go to jade emperor temple and 4 horse street while waiting for everyone to come. both temples are very smoky. the xiang huo too good liao. i will go to jade emperor temple this weekend again due to tian gong dan.

as usual, my nieces and nephews did not call us. either that or call wrongly, as usual... its so annoying that they call wrongly. to think that they call me kor kor! feel like slapping ppl lor. U MUST KNOW HOW TO ADDRESS PPL! its a basic couresty!

2nd day, i am suppose to go to my uncle place. but its another boring ppl where i will kana suan and sit there whole day watch tv. so we went for richard's open house.
scare teacher miss home, so i wore a 'bought from TW shirt'.
zhuying and i went to fetch teacher. during the greeting exchange, xiu mei jie said 'wish u bu bu gao sheng, xue yue jin bu, zhao ru cheng jia li ye'

ya, md is full of ki siao replies. so i replied her 'see my bought in tw shirt, its suitable for wedding lor. later whoever wore white blouse with white skirt and red flower on head. she is my bride'

ZY asked during the trip 'where u meeting ur gf?' (she is referring to wanru, our newbie. she wanted to do dan but a bit tall lor. so tall that only me and richard can match her. as richard got ms tan liao, so WR is sometimes referred as my gf but i got other ppl in my heart. haha)

when she arrived richard's place, got a relief that she did not wear full white. in the end, only MK's milky white dress and May's full red dress can match my attire. hahaa

after a hearty lunch, the wine session started... i can only use the word 'horrible'. at first, only abt 5 person drink a bit each. then we started grabbing ppl in. each took turn to give cny greetings to teacher, shi gu and senior members. i believe in the end, almost everyone got drink at least 1/3 glass for starters and 1/2 glass for beginners.

key word 'if dont drink, we not letting u off' hahaa
i counted the bottles after the session. 8 empty bottle and 1 1/2 left. wow lao! a bunch of jiu gui...
