My CPF and My Retirement

I ask myself really simple questions nowadays.
Is the money in the CPF mine? Yes, it is.
Who is managing it for me. Well, I know it's the CPF Board.
What are they using it for. Last I heard, it might have been used for investment purpose by GIC and earning an average of 8.2% for the last 25years. Did i benefit from that? Hmmmm..
Answer is no.
I will really want to have a better fund manager, and sack the current one.

Is the money in the CPF really mine? Yes, it is.
Did i agree to the Minimum sum? No
Did i agree to the increase in Draw Down Age? No
Did i agree to the Compulsory Annuity? No.
So it does seem that the CPF board has taken my rights of managing my own money.
The one size fit all policies may benefit some people. But i don't think it will benefit me.
Our government seems to be running the country like a large company, and is maximising the company's interest.
I really wish i can find another company.

Bambi Eyes and Milky Sticks

Give me a milky stick.

How do you refuse a cute little mutt when he stares at you with his bambi eyes?

This gets played out everyday.


Boy Boy wins all the time.

Thirsty Plants in a Goldfish tank


What would you do with thirsty Airplants that have not been watered for 3 weeks? Most people don't ask themselves such questions. Unless of course if they have airplants which are thirsty.




This is what i did. I dumped them into the goldfish tank for 8 hours. The fishes are quite amused.


Hopefully the airplant have a good drink, and help to remove some of the nitrates building up in the tank.
