Tax Payable
"Thank you for your contribution towards nation building"
Right. .. ... ....
Picture the look of horror on my face when I received my IRA (Inland revenue Authority of Singapore) Notice of Assessment in the mail today.
Ok after not having to pay tax in the last 2 years, I am now officially a contributing taxpayer.
Ouch ouch ouch!! $$$
I'm so going to pay by instalments, paying the full tax in a lump sum is going to pinch real bad. Bleh.

Sweetie and I went out on a date this evening! :)
It was especially nice since we are usually hibernating at home on a Saturday evening. And it was swell doing something different for a change.
We met up after my French class, did some quick shopping and look around for his golf stuff. Grabbed some quick dinner and caught "Fantastic 4" at the cinema.
The show was not too bad though I was expecting more action!! The battle between the good and the evil towards the end was quite a wet blanket.. I went "huh, only like that??" when the bad guy (I forgot his name, the Australian actor who was Phoebe's lover in Charmed") was frozen / solidified and posing in a funny manner. Anti-climax, I tell ya.
Oh, and the ending is so geared for a sequel. Akan Datang, methinks.
Our muddy mudpie at Coffee Club after the movie was a sweet wrap up of the wonderful wonderful evening! :)
I am feeling so loved and fuzzy.

Yawns. I can hardly keep my eyes open anymore. Think I shall call it a night and get some sleep.
And yikes, the notice of assessment is staring at me.
"Thank you for your contribution towards nation building!" - It gloats.
