Certificate of Achievement

Was invited to Canon's prize presentation to the 30 finalists at their HQ. It was really nice, seldom get this kind of opportunity to get invited to prize presentations, especially if you are one of the receipients.


Island Life

Certainly brought back the memories of shooting pictures 12 hours in a roll, and to complete the 3 very tough assignments. You will know if you take part for next year's Canon Photo Marathon.

Got to hang out for a while during the refreshment seesion.

Spent the rest of the day playing badminton with my office people. It was fun with all the laughter. Ended the day with a few round of pool at Paradiz Centre.

There's going to be a few photography competitions from now till the end of the year.

All you shutterbugs out there, go on and have a try! You never know until you try!

CPF Housing Top-Up Grant Scheme

To encourage single Singaporeans to marry, Singles Grant recipients who later marry a Singapore Citizen or a Singapore Permanent Resident can apply for a “Top-Up Grant” under the CPF Housing Top-Up Grant Scheme. As a married couple, they will be given a Top-Up Grant which is the difference between the current Family Grant of $30,000, or $40,000 (if they buy a resale flat or their existing flat is within the same town or within 2km of their parents' home) and the Singles Grant that they have already received.

CPF Housing Grant Scheme for Family

First-timer married couples can buy a resale HDB flat to set up their home and apply for a CPF Housing (Family) Grant to assist them in the purchase. The grant is $30,000 to buy a resale flat from the open market or $40,000 if they buy a flat within the same town or within 2km of their parents' home. The married couple buying a resale flat from the open market has a wide range of flat types and locations to choose from to meet their living needs.

Fiance/Fiancee Scheme

Your fiance(e) must register your marriage with the Registries of Civil within 3 months from the date of collecting the keys to your flat.

When I have a new house with Eliss next time, these are the things that I want.
