ME : (calling MAG on the phone) Hello, Hi MAG, this is ME. i'm calling because i heard CINDY is giving up her slots for the prudential tower roadshow next week. is it okay if i get some of her slots?

MAG : Hey! can! why not? i mean as long as the slots do not go to JK then its okay! you should liase with CINDY about this. Anyway CINDY said she has some back pains and i think its best that someone covers her slots.

ME : Oh okay then, i'll liase with CINDY and let you know tomorrow evening! Thanks!

was doing roadshow at prudential tower again today. omg!! the weather today is a killer lah! its super duper hot and humid!

From Raffles Place station, i'll have to walk like 15 minutes through a series of underpasses before i reach prutower. it was so bad lah! it was super crowded and to top it off, the air conditioning in the underpasses were super duper feeble and weak. speaking of feeble and weak air conditioners, the air conditioning in the MRT that i took earlier was also really crappy. it was so weak and to make matters worse, the train was jammed packed. super jammed pack lah!!

so the only acceptable air conditioning i received were in the stations only lor! so jia lat lei!!

feeling sooo tired now... standing so long just now. and the weather was super draining. i think i have a tan now...

so sad! my pricewaterhouse coopers guy postponed our appointment today till the 27th!! boo hoo!! but anyways anyways, hope he'll do something with me still!!

i learnt something new from him the other day. one can actually claim for tax deductible of up to $5000 per year. Tax deductible amount must be inclusive of CPF contributions. And to save on tax, one can actually put one's money in insurance!! on top of that, you'll get like all of your money back PLUS alot more in interest at the end of the term. so i think its a win win situation! you pay lesser tax and you've planned for your retirement! how about that!

on top of this, you can actually SAVE EVEN MORE in taxes by setting up a Supplementary Retirement Scheme (SRS) account with an agent bank. with this supplementary savings, you can actually claim for up to $11 000 per year. that means, you can claim up to $16 000 total from tax! that's like a super whopper lah! BUT there's a catch for this SRS account. all the money that you put in can only be withdrawn when you are 62. early withdrawal will result in a penalty charge and the amount withdrawn will be taxable. scary sia...

you know what, i'm loving this roadshow at Prudential Tower lah! dunno why but i'm so full of vigour and excitement whenever its my shift to do the roadshow. then on days that i do not have anything on the roadshow, i'll be like so totally forlorn and sad! haha! i don't know why!

maybe its because of all these hot young guys in executive wear! its sooo sexy to see them all decked out in their finest in the morning rush hour! hahaha!

i'm being soo weird now.

anyway, it was the first time i took the train down to Raffles Place and it was like 8.30am in the morning. my goodness! the train station is jammed pack with people! its soo super duper crowded! and they are all moving in one direction. its like super duper crowded. i think if you bend down to tie your shoelaces, you'll be trampled to death! seriously! there wasn't any space to scratch your nose or head! all three escalators at the entrance we up riding too lah! none of them were heading down. super duper packed.

and i thought tokyo rush hour was mad!

but anyway i managed to reach the roadshow EARLY and IN ONE PIECE! but damn! it was a super duper hot day! by the time i reached the tower, i was already wet with sweat! haha! omg! 24 hours always sweating! i need to botox up my entire body!

anyway yeah that's about it for now; need to go to my auntie's house to get her signature for the GIRO authorisation form. oh and i am soooo dead broke now. so sad!

so much drama in the past few days! its is sooo very the OMGness!! and its mainly because of that stupid grace incident. so tired of all this drama.

anyway currently i'm doing this roadshow at Prudential Tower at cecil st. its a free roadshow and i wasn't expecting much from it; knowing the CBD crowd and how they work. the walk super fast, eat super fast and work super duper fast lah. but i was lucky enough to get this guy who stopped and ask for tax savings for himself. kucky me!! and he's cute to boot! as a added bonus, he is from PriceWaterhouseCoopers!!! woohoo!!

i hope i can close the deal with him this thursday though!!! prays super hard!!!
