Weekend Being a Volunteer E-filer

-
Despite my flu & sore throat, I went to help people to e-file their tax returns at Contact 123 IT Centre at Serangoon North. This year, I had a partner with me. My brother has also joined in the excercise after my mum persuaded him to join me to learn more things from me.

Business was brisk for Saturday but not today. I wonder why. Could it be due to the downpour at about 3.30pm? Or is it Singaporean's style to leave everything to the last minute? In serving these people, I find that they usually have these common problems.

  1. They do not have IRAS PIN or Singpass to e-file their tax return. They are not aware that the items can be obtained at IRAS & CPF websites.
  2. They do not know that those who received $22,000 or less income in the year 2005 need not file their tax returns.
  3. Some people do not know the differences between Form P (Form for Partnership Returns) & Form B or Form B1( Indivdual Tax Returns)
  4. Some people do not get their Form IR8A ready. This form is issued by the employer of the person's company if the person is working in the firm in the year 2005. Without this, a salaried worker cannot file his tax return.

Just some points to those people who have not filed their tax returns.

  • Deadline for paper forms - 15 April 2006.
  • Deadline for electronic filing - 18 April 2006
  • Please get the necessary documents :- IRAS PIN/Singpass, Children's birth certificates, Parents' NRIC No. (if claiming for Grandparents Caregiver or Parents' Relief).

This way, you can make e-filing a breeze.

If you need further assistance, please visit us at the e-clubs on weekends till 16 April 2006.

Dinner @ Bacchus @ Dempsey

I joined the Facebook Foodies Club for dinner at Bacchus last night. Yesterday was with a smaller group of people with 11 people. It meant that I had a chance to interact with people and enjoy good food at the same time. I certainly had a good time knowing Deborah, Rene, Wenna, Chris & Catherine. The good part was having my singing buddy, Jonathan around as well, making me able to enjoy the dinner and making friends with relative ease. I must say I enjoyed the food, that I ordered. I ordered the Flumuken,Bawhrust susages and tiramisu cake. You must be thinking that why I ordered so much food. I must say I was very hungry as I didn’t have a filling lunch. Although, it burned a hole in my pocket, but it is certainly good to indulge in myself sometimes! I like the ambience of the restuarant. After the dinner, we indulged ourselves in some German wine before we were asked to pose for photos. After that, we adjourned to Harry’s Bar for a drink and chat session. Jonathan was so afraid

My Hosting Script for The National Day Event

-
I just managed to work out the draft hosting script for the National Day Event I am hosting. I am thankful for all the comments that I have received from my fellow RC members and friends. Just feel that sometimes, no matter whatever you do, some people, no matter for what reasons, will not be happy with the arrangements. I just wish to say that I am already trying my best to try to get this event going, considering the fact, that this is the 1st time I am organising an RC event. I have also tried my best, despite the fact that I would like to have a free hand to organise the event, just like what I usually do for the KTV events I have on Facebook, I accommodated to the requests that I should somehow follow the past years’ format to do the event. I know that I am not very familiar with how things are run at the RC, therefore in the end, my organising committee only made some changes to the event as we had a limited budget to work on. I even volunteered myself to do the hosting for the

June Musings

 It has been a while since I last blogged. Since then, I am settling well into my role, although there were some incomings and outgoings, which are common in any workplace.   I managed to catch a last glimpse of Yishun Orto before it closed on 30 June. I would like Leonard, Wendy & Michael, as without them performing at the Happiest Hour Bar & Bistro, I guess I would never go to this place, as I had not so fond memories of a nearby place during my NS days.   I did not manage to get A* Mei or Jacky Cheung concert tickets this round. It could be a sign for me to build up my savings again after an unstable 3 years on the job front. I hope to stay on this job for a while despite its lack of transport amenities and lack of shelters for rain as it is not often that you can have great teams of colleagues and bosses with whom you can get along well. I guess having a boss who is differently abled helps me to settle in well as colleagues tend to be more understanding and caring.
