When you cannot convince them, CONFUSE THEM!

September21

Hahaha…..that's what xiaowei said to me this morning. She's in Shanghai to expand her design biz there and ask me what's the latest talk of the town in Singapore. I told her about the recent confusion over PM Lee's proposal on the CPF changes that will take place over the years. I told her a lot of auntie and uncles in singapore are confused over what PM said. So she made the statement: When you cannot convince them, CONFUSE THEM! In a nutshell and kopitiam-friendly terms, it means:

  • You are thought to live beyond 85 years old, so you get to withdraw from your CPF account only when you're 67
  • Your employer should employ you even after you've reached 62 years old, it can be a lower wage, but they cannot sack you, else you can sue them!
  • You can't take out ALL your money, and you MUST buy some form of annuity plan to allow your CPF account to release money bit by bit to you on a monthly basis until the day u kick bucket

Anyway, in short, i think i'll just put all my CPF money in unit trust and to buy house, since this is the case….i'm in the new generation that I feel I won't leave a fortune for my kids to live on, They are supposed to earn their own money…haha….so if i dun have any children, who gets my CPF money after I die? Who wants me to nominate them to receive my money….start applying now! hahahaha….

DISCLAIMER: THE ABOVE FACTS MIGHT NOT BE 100% TRUE. I DON'T FOLLOW THIS NEWS CLOSELY. BUT THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN HEARING SO FAR. PAP, DON'T BLACKLIST ME!!! 

I miss you both

September14

I miss two of my late relatives lately. They're probably the ONLY two that dotes on me and my family sincerely. Or Or uncle and Stedson gorgor (that's how I address them) They're father and son but both passed away many years ago due to illness. They took me to an Aussie trip for a month when I was 3 years old. Or Or uncle bought me a piano. Stedson gor gor guided me in my school work and carry me around to watch lion dances (I love to watch when young). Many many over selfless help from them to my family.

I dreamt of them last week. It was a happy dream. I wish they're both well in the other wonderland. I was driving on Monday and it happened to be the last day of 7th month and I drove quickly down to the temple where their altars are to pay my respect to them before returning to office. I talked a lot to them that day. I felt their blessings in my prayers in recent days.

ok, dun wanna write le.

冷战

August27

很久没和人冷战了。
已经过了4天。
到底谁要先开口?
到底谁要先说对不起?
到底谁要先放下矜持?

平时在外头玩闹得很晚会收到他的简讯。这几天都没有。
人就是这样地矛盾。明明就是要撇下面子了,就为了一口气而不妥协。自己闷着一股闷气…看着办吧…
