WOW! Great shot

U r so lucky to get so near. Normally, the male jungle fowl is very shy or street smart. The females are not so shy. Did u shoot the females too? Can post some female shots?

Uncle Fai got a great catch. The buzzard is also looking for a catch!

Nice birds. New immigrants being seen in various parts of the island. I remember some 30 years ago, the sparrows rule the land. Now the mynahs are the kings - even the hawk got scared of them in Orchard Road. The crows are a running second. Will the parakets brighten up the land in the next few...

This is another example of why we need to lockup our money while we still have a clear mind. Your relative is still lucky that he still got relative to chip in to take care of his needs. Many others even have to bear the unbearable - dump even by their own children.

Selamat Hari Raya Haji to all our Muslim friends. Happy Holidays to all our friends. Happy Working to quite a number of us (including me)

1 of my friend told me that it is also good to lockup your money in either the CPF or an insurance annuity. It will guarantee that you have some meaningful survival money in your old age when you can no longer think logically/coherently. Many people when given a sudden windfall will not be...

Thank for your advise.

Good that you try to build up your savings for your old age. Don't forget to transfer as much as possible from your Ordinary a/c to Special a/c to enjoy the higher interest. Keep sufficient amount in your Ordinary a/c for your housing and education if any.

I went to POSB yesterday and talked to their Personal Financial Manager. If konk-out along the way, it will be distributed like any bank account that u r holding. The min amount is $10K as advertised in the SAIL brochure. Hold it for 10 yrs and at the end of 10 yr then only u need to...

Will check this out with the Relationship Manager this weekend and let u know.

Today also saw a brochure from POSB under SAIL - Single Premium plan underwritten by NTUC Income which offers a POTENTIAL yield of 4.61%. It gave 2 illustrations of a 55 yr old female investing $50K: 1. After 10 yr at age 65 she gets a PROJECTED yearly payout of $6092 over 20yrs or she can opt...

Agree with this. Got survival money till death
