Tour of IRAS Gallery

-

I had to take half day leave today for the IRAS efile volunteer training session today as my boss didn't allow me to take time off to attend. Some of you may wonder why Paul is attending since Paul is handling tax in his work everyday. I decided to go as a form of a refresher course and also find out more about the new IRAS Gallery that showcases the history of IRAS in Singapore. The tour of the gallery was conducted by IRAS Senior Corporate Communication Officer, Ms Clara Ng. I felt that the guided tour was well conducted since she said, she played a big role in the setting up of the gallery. At the end of the tour, I thought I had a better understanding how IRAS came about.

The training session was very well conducted too. At the end of the session, we were asked to share our previous volunteering expriences with the student volunteers that will be joining us for the first time in the next few training sessions. I have been selected by Clara to share my 5 years e-filing exprience, together with another 2 fellow volunteers. I must say I have a lot to share, but I think I have the most memorable one thought out already. Let's hope I don't get stage fright during the presentation. Haha!!!

I was also asked by Clara to encourage some of you who are interested to help out in this year's efiling excercise to sign up as we are still a little short of volunteers especially for the last 4 sessions of the excercise. The 25 centres that are open for volunteers to sign up are as follows:-

Pantang- Meaning Things Not To Do In Hokkien

There are certain things which some Chinese are pretty particular with:- Happy and sad events can't clash together within 100 days to a year. If a relative or loved one were to pass away, the immediate family member can't attend a happy event, like wedding & housewarming. The Teochews treat their eldest male grandchild as their youngest son. If you are getting married & your friend who is getting married invites you to his wedding, u are not allowed to attend. The old people say happy events clash. The red packet can't be given twice for a happy event. Likewise for the condolence packet. One should not give shoes or lamp to a birthday boy or gal, as it is believed that you may bring the person to his deathbed. These are some interesting stuff to share, especially to some blog readers who are not living in a place filled with Chinese.

House Visiting & AVietnamese Girlfriend For Me??

I started my day early today at 8.30am. I was helping my mum with the flower decoration & slept at 1am last night. Had received CNY sms messages from my ex colleague, LS, Angela, Rebecca, Darling, Caifeng, Huixuan, Huiyu, Mac, Jaslyn, Joey, Candy , Kelvin, Rich & Mike. Thanks for all your well wishes, my friends. The 1st stop was at my grandma's place, which we were lucky to get a cab almost immediately after waiting for just a short while. In the ride, my mum & I were chatting casually about some issues that happened in S'pore recently, when we actually touched on the old cobbler cheating Vietnamese gals to be his bride. The cabby told us an incident that happened to his friend. His friend, a guy aged 39 had married a Thai gal aged 23 some years ago. Soon after, they became parents to a baby boy. When the boy turned 3, the gal took away the money in the joint bank account with her husband. The savings totalled to about $100,000, which the guy had saved for years fr...
