This is a 1st Anniversary party, I think should be quite grand. And as usual, stick to its dress code.
Just a bit strange, 9pm to 1030pm, isn't it a bit short?
NTUC Income has just launched a new exciting Retirement plan which I think would interest you. This is an innovative plan that has not been available in the market before. It helps you to save now to ensure a constant and definite stream of income for your retirement.
This is how the plan works. You place a lump sum of say, $100k with us from now till age 55/ 60/ 62. This amount will grow at a projected rate of more than 4% pa. One year after maturity, they will give you an annual payout plus bonuses for the next 20 years. This will assure you of a stream of income for your golden years.
If you decide not to have the payout over 20 years, it can be paid out in one lump sum as well.
More information is available at the link below:
SAIL Plan http://www.income.com.sg/insurance/SAIL/
Benefits at a glance
Potential returns of up to 6X
SAIL gives you the potential of an impressive 6X return on your initial savings when combined with bonuses that will be added to your eventual pay out.
Attractive annual income stream
At the end of the Accumulation Period, your policy will be automatically converted to give you an attractive steady stream of annual income for the next 20 years.
Save as you like
Decide when and how much you want to save. From $10,000, SAIL lets you choose the term that is appropriate for your specific financial goals. You have the flexibility of choosing to accumulate your savings from 10 years up to a maximum of 30 years, all before the age of 65.
Insurance Coverage
SAIL provides coverage for Death and Total and Permanent Disability* (TPD) during the Accumulation Period as well as the Pay Out period, giving you peace of mind while you enjoy life.
How SAIL works
For a male aged 35, with a savings term of 30 years and a fixed pay out period of 20 years, his initial savings of $50,000 could be worth $197,912 at the end of the 30-year period. This sum would then provide him with a pay out of $321,539 or $16,077 annually for the next 20 years.

May all of you find health, laughter and prosperity throughout the year!
Guess this will be the last party before Chinese New Year. I remember once during 2nd or 3rd day of Chinese New Year. Got friends back from oversea, so we decided went to Zouk, gosh, it was closed!!! I can't imagine that. So end up watching movie....
For the above party, check out at http://www.barlenoir.com/. And remember call and ask for the opening hour if you are going to have a party or clubbing during CNY.
This is the contribution of a reader on his bad experience when travelled to JB recently. So becarefult.
So, on Saturday night (Jan 03, 2009) I went to JB for the weekend and encountered a couple, one man and one woman, from China at City Square. I think was around 7-8pm.
Anyway, long story short, couple says need money (and will pay back, husband offered his business card and asked for your mobile number) because they are supposed to meet a friend but friend never turned up and now need money for meals / lodging. The "husband" will approach you first then the "wife". Basically the story will be one where they are "trapped" and need urgent help in terms of money.
If you meet them, DO NOT give them any money because its FAKE. I didn't expect to see this type of scam at City Square. This is my fourth time encountering something similar, twice at Hongkong airport, once at Bangkok airport.
Also, don't try to act smart and offer to bring them to police station. Usually they work as a group, so before you reach our nearest police station, you maybe robbed outside.
Just walk away. Don't bother listening to them. Don't even give your mobile phone number or lend them your mobile (cos they need to make a phone call). If you can, walk to an area where there's a lot of people.
First time, I end up giving away 500 HKD. Pay money to learn a lesson I guess. I thought I was helping someone out. I didn't realize until my collegue told me it's a scam.
My third time was in Bangkok (2006) I think. I have some spare cash on me and the poor lady looks almost 60-70 years old. End up, I gave her around 1000 Baht. I knew I wasn't going to get it back but pitiful lah, old lady still have to resort to this.
Actually, not the name card bah. It's the way they psycho you to give them money. People usually get hook when they say, "I will give you 150% more for your kindness. My father (husband,daughter, fill in the blanks) is Managing Director of so-and-so company". Greed bah.
Anyway these days I either fake speak Malay (or some funny language, basically don't understand English / Chinese). And then run fast fast.
Play your favourite music a little louder, catch more gigs, let loose and dance more.. whatever the resolutions are, have no regrets and be happier for the days ahead.As a start, download the latest Fall Out Boy album and stand a chance to win a pair of tickets to their concert and get to meet & greet the boys!

When you are hungry, you can have a freshly baked salmon anytime anywhere (maybe not in your office) you want.
