IRAS Efile Volunteer Refresher Course

-

I was at the E-filing Volunteer Refresher Course just now. People who know me will know why I do not need to go for the course actually, but I decided to sign up and go for it, so that I could keep myself updated to the changes in the tax laws and regulations, changes made to the e-filing system & catching up with my friends, IRAS Corporate Communications Officers, Ms Clara Ng & Ms Rena Soon and fellow volunteer, Harris, whom I have been working with for the past 4 years.

There are several changes to the personal reliefs, especially to those with handicapped children, siblings & parents. To encourage people to donate more to approved charities and IPC, the amount of deduction against income is enhanced by 50% to 250%

As for the e-filing letters, there is not much change except that there is a letter stating that you need not file your return as your employer is under the auto-inclusion scheme and you have claimed a standard set of reliefs for each year. My advice to this group of taxpayers is to file your return with your Singpass as per normal, as some reliefs or important information may be missed out.

For those of you who are not sure how to e-file your taxes, you are welcome to look for me at The Serangoon CC at 10 Serangoon North Ave 2 from the weekends of 27 & 28 March 2010 to 17 & 18 April 2010. If the centre is too far for you, you are encouraged to pop by the 25 Citizen Centres and 5 CPF Offices to e-file your return.

E-filing is easy, fast & convenient!!!

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.
