How much are you earning per annum?

Huat ah!

I just bought a new car last year. If COE drop to $10k, I'll buy another new car to average down my cost per car. Just like buying stocks, do dollar cost averaging. One car for my use and another car for my wife to send kids to school and do marketing. I look forward to COE price crashing down.

Indeed, I just bought one for the maid so she can do the grocery shopping by herself. Decided on a Toyota Wish as Toyota is reliable and a MPV will ensure there is enough space for the groceries. Now I have 2 hours free on the weekend to rest and relax with my family, or go out for brunch.

You sure or not? What if your maid drive into Malaysia and run away with her boyfriend? LOL.

Today was a sad day for me.

I was working on a project for 2 years. I came to know all this while my boss didn't tell his superiors that the work was being done by me. The credit was taken by my boss.

Find another job or another boss.

I supposed you are new to the work ethos of the asian (or maybe the world) workplace. The boss of a work team is responsible for the team's output, quality and timeliness of the output. If the team doesn't deliver, the boss is the first to get the repercussions. He may be sacked / replaced. If the team performs well, naturally the boss will get the recognition first. It is then the boss' responsibility and obligation to reward his team. He can then single out star performers in his team for special rewards or promotion. This is the natural order of things.

If you think that way is too slow for you, you can make yourself visible to higher management, and show that you can handle bigger responsibilities. If you are good, you are good, if you are bad and it shows up to higher management, your career is over.

I have seen it happened both ways. Young, ambitious and good workers jostled to get higher management attention, volunteered for more work assignment and responsibilities, delivered and got well rewarded. Other young, ambitious but not so capable workers, found their assignments difficult, failed to deliver and worse, made the bosses looked bad and that's the end of their career.

AVATAR, jealous say jealous la, you bukimak

I hope COE will crash down to $5k - $10k by end of the year since there is no clawback. If it crash to that level, I will deregister my one year old car and buy a cheaper, bigger car.

Why they got no balls to claw back supply now?

In the later years where there is going to be COE famine. The situation will be out of control.

I am more concerned some crazy driver will hit her and cause a headache for us to settle the accident claims. Even worse if she is badly injured as she will not be able to provide for her family back home. Hence, we have bought some private insurance for her in the event of unforeseen circumstances. 1 million SGD should be a lifetime of riches for her family should anything go wrong.
