Because my income for 2010 exceeded 2k (just), I was subjected to income tax.
You know, I would gladly pay income tax.
Because my not having to pay it is what's that's stopping me from owning my own home.

As you guys know MPB and I are planning for a cub
I was looking at some infant care centres and rates start at S$1,500 a month!!! OMG!!! And if you pick up the kid late you are subject to "fines"
My 40 + pets don't even cost so much a month!

The days when one of you could stay at home are long gone, and over here very few workplaces let you take the kids to work or have childcare facilities. It's not attractive at all.

... and this is how they want to increase the number of children Singaporeans bear?

Link>> Top Chef Santi Santamaria died
The title was "Top Chef Santi Santamaria Died"...
The opening para was "One of the world's top chefs Santi Santamaria collapsed and died at a marathon food tasting event at Marina Bay Sands for the international media last night."
but the last line of the article was "I hope chef Santi gets well soon. We look forward to his beef cheeks braised in red wine and hearty large meatballs in a soothing broth."

and for women in the teaching service, they get a 'D' grade (perfomance assessment) for the year they get pregnant and go for maternity leave. and such a grade haunts you for 3 years. -

I have not told MPB the price yet.
I think he will freak
$1,500 is a lot of dinners at Lawry’s :x
And $1,500 is the starting price! It could be more!

they're actually quite open about it. they tell people that they have to make a choice between family and career. maybe thats why most of the women in senior management are single. -
I’m not surprised. With the standard of living you will really put money first before anything else
I mean yeah with children you can gain happiness (if they are good) if not they will be a major cause of unnecessary stress, heartaches, anger and not to mention a hole in the pocket
Seriously these days, if you list the pros & cons of having children, I think the cons list is really much higher than maybe the ego booster of creating another human being.
It’s like over CNY, my friend (with 3 kids) told me she really like my bag and asked me how much is it. I told her I got it at a really great price at $160 @ 50% off.
She was like … wah Hiroshima bags are so expensive. This was someone who don’t think twice about buying branded bags before -_-“
