Heh...this one better...my old school

 

Sometimes we forget / don't realise about different lifestyles...

 

My daughters school would be one of the biggest (if not THE biggest) primary schools in NZ - but it is simply a standard primary school here

Dude -

got plus and minus...

I see the things that my kids get to participate in now because of the size of the school and am very de jealous -

things like math contests, national day parade, CCA, learn Malay, have writing contests...

Lots of things that are very good and I turn very green that stuff like this not possible when I was a kid - how to do when you only have 20+ students from age 5 through 12?

 

 

Mind you - I do remember for another primary school I attended - our graduating year we wrote and performed our own play for the year end concert - that was fun :-)

100% true ...

different folks, different strokes -

It was a great childhood -

by the same token - I sometimes wonder what might have been if I had the same chances my kids have...

 

Which is better? I dunno..

But when people criticise the system here, while I agree too much stress I also have to give thumbs up to the opportunities

 

No one system is perfect - you have to take good with bad and decide which is most important to you

Oh. You are one of those country bumpkin in the city.....

I think the correct term is "mountain tortoise" right?

 

Very much so ;-)

 

I often feel like one of the Clampetts

yours is the wrong basis

 

an old advert used to tell me the correct comparison is number of cows in NZ vs number of humans in SG

since we are on upgrade, i think i can post it here.. a buddy gives me an idea recently on how to cash out some money and upgrade, just want to get your thought on this idea.. pros and cons... [:p]

 

i have a fully paid-up 4-rm flat, should be able to fetch around $430-$450 (used to be smelly smelly $500K+ 1.5 yr ago)... he suggested me to upgrade to a new 5-rm BTO (going as 2nd timer)

 

if sell 4-rm at $430, $197K+$30K(interest)+$81.5K (half of profit) will go back into cpf, -40K(levy to gov for nation building). balance left $81.5K cash roll out from this deal.

 

(total proceed of 308.5K goes back into cpf OA account)

 

Then, buy a new BTO 5-rm flat at $400k. take $20K from the cash profited as DP, then the rest from CPF can clear, no loan necessary).

 

now, i have a new 5-rm BTO and 61.5K cash on hand for new car DP.. hehe...

the down side is my OA amount drop by 71.5K (use to fully pay up the new flat) and have to start accumulating again....

 

those who has done this before, what is the pros and cons, can share?.. [:p]

 

 

 

I think it's better for you to keep your fully paid sundial better. I don't really see any real tangible benefit of upgrading. As long as you are comfortable with your current house and location, just stick with it.
