年尾喇(咁快又年尾!!), 當務之急就有兩樣嘢要做嘅.. 趁機會順便喺度提醒大家啦都~~
- 最近開始培養睇書習慣, 而且買書可以扣稅, 所以應該嗱嗱聲買多幾本, 明年扣稅有幾多就得幾多.. 呢種「寧益自己唔益人」嘅心態, 係為勢所逼, 唔好怪我市儈..
- 政府規定明年開始每張信用卡徵收RM50服務稅, 明屈之下, 我慎重考慮後決定cut咗其中三張.. 而家忙于度積分換禮物, 之後要搞自動轉帳事宜, 然之後先可以取消.. 搞掂咗兩張, 仲有一張進行中..
i think i can be considered as a last minute kind of person, i won't get too anxious about things until the very last minute.. most of the time i'd procrastinate, and only get as worry as ants on the hot pan when time ticks.. hmmm, this is something not good, i think i should improve on this :pit's year end (oh!! that quick!!), and there are two things i need to accomplish urgently.. maybe this could be a reminder to everyone too..
- i've been cultivating a reading habit recently, and since buying books can enjoy tax relief, i should try to buy as many books as i can afford, so that i can get as much tax relief possible next year.. well, don't blame me for being so "kiasu", i'm sure you'd already know why we have to do so??
- the government imposed a compulsory RM50 charge for every credit card starting next year, under such circumstances i just have to cancel off three of my cards.. am now busy with rewards redemption, and then coordinating on the auto-debit payment before i can finally cancel the cards.. have got two cards done, and now still working on the remaining one..
I am confused which cards to cut now.. Advise me Thamby!!
ReplyDeleteBank of India? Mumbai Chase Bank? Delhi Thosai Bank?
Wah! Wah! Wah! I am the 1st, 2nd and 3rd in your comments!
ReplyDeleteGreat! Cutting away procrastination is wonderful, and the reliance on the plastic cards is the best step towards prudent financial management.
ReplyDeleteCash rulez! ^_^

Yengga Poreng Ngeh?... When are we meeting up again for some Banana Leaf rice with curry mutton and Lachee mango? Time to gossip about our realatives in Chennai India!!!
ReplyDeletehaik! Haik! Hota! Kuchi! Haiiiiii !!!
CB This Gartitude cut into my spam!
ReplyDelete你有才华，有急智，先知先觉，会未雨绸缪，
ReplyDelete识得你，有着数。
I can't forget the shock at MV when 2 fellas found out that you are really a confirmed Indian from Chennai... LOL...!
ReplyDeletewat books did you buy? hehehe....all "kok" chor mei ar? hahahaa
ReplyDeleteok, this is not related to the post anyway. Dropping by and just wanna say that wow, love how you customize your blog, its very neat and love the translation.
ReplyDeleteu r not last minute person lah, looking at how efficient u r cutting away two cards liao :P
ReplyDeletebooks, i think i bought more than enough liao kekeeee...
and excuse me... u r not being kiasu, its only rightful to save our money from being 'spent unwisely' by 'others' :P
and lol at twilight, he is soooo funny la hahaaaa
ReplyDeleteI am definitely not a last minute kind of person. Although I enjoy spontaneity from time to time, I like a little planning ahead.
ReplyDelete现在买多点书
ReplyDelete以后退休后可以开图书馆
哈哈
wah!!! RM50, better spend on tangji sushi lor~ luckily i dun hv creditcard.. hehe...
ReplyDeleteya..i bought a lot of books for my kids..for tax relief..
ReplyDeleteif there is a big sales, i dont think so u r the last minute person,,, kekek
ReplyDeleteHehe, I'm doing the same things also. Figuring out which cards to potong. And buying more books and sport equipments.
ReplyDeleteTwilight Zone:
ReplyDeletegrandma you just have to make up your mind.. if you can't decide then just cancel off those that you seldom use lor.. Bank of Indra Chapati is a must!! haha.. kena jump queue by Gratitude and 单身汉, haiz, ooopsss, next time if you want continuous, type it elsewhere then only copy and paste and post all at once.. hmmm, sure let's meet up for banana leaves and mango lassi, but i don't know much about Chennai because i'm from Tirachirupalli, remember?? LOL.. btw, who were the 2 fellas?? they really thought i am chindian from india?? Jerry and the other one is who?? oh, how cute and naïve~~ :D
Gratitude:
haha, how do you know that i am cutting away the procrastination?? most of the time i speak more than i take action lor.. haha, but cutting off excessive plastic cards is a sure thing for me this year.. :p
单身汉:
哈哈?? 突然間說我有才华，有急智，先知先覺，未雨绸缪?? 我何得何能啊?? 你太過誇獎了朋友~~ :D
manglish:
ReplyDeletesome english books lor, not those fiction type, more on inspirational and non-fiction that i prefer.. i will "kot" away 3, and left 2 for backups.. :p
Susan:
thanks for dropping by.. well, it's just they layout that attracts you and not the contents?? :p
the happy go lucky one:
haha, because it's almost end of the year, and i just don't want to pay extra RM50sssss lor, so i must act fast now!! hmmm, i think i still have not bought enough books, we are allowed tax relief up to RM1000 leh, anyway not going to spend up to that amount lah.. you are right, we must spend wisely so that it's not spent unwisely by those people.. :p
Mei Teng:
ReplyDeleteyeah good for you to have things planned ahead, so that you won't get messy at the last minute.. :)
Chi Leong:
哈哈, 我覺得沒有可能開圖書館喇, 因為我距離退休年齡不是很遠罷了囉.. 其實你提醒我, 買那麼多書看完了要如何處理..
cHriSi3w:
yalah, that's why must cancel them quickly, it's just too absurb to pay that amount of money.. if RM5 i don't mind, but RM50 is a lot of money leh..
wenn:
ReplyDeletehaha, good for you, then you can always have lots of deductions in your taxes.. :)
Wois:
hehehe, but i won't be the first person also lor.. aiyah, i was talking about serious things mah, not all these shopping and entertainments leh~~
KY:
still figuring out which card ah, i think by this time you need to decide already.. clearing the bills, redeem points, coordinating the auto payment all take time you know?? so, three more weeks to go, how much are you gonna spend on books and sports equipment??
Great reminder, SK. I have a feeling banks will absorb the tax, at least the principle ones. But you're right, best to start clearing bills, redeem points and adjust the auto-debits. Time is ticking..
ReplyDeleteI am also, I mean I WAS a last minute person. Now,I have improved and don't do things last minute, although occasionally I still do. What to do? It's in my genes, haha!
ReplyDeleteDo you buy mainly Mandarin books? Too bad I'm a banana! But if you buy English books, after finish reading them, don't throw away - pass all to me, yes? LOL!
ReplyDeleteI usually go on a book shopping spree during sales! You can get more books at cheaper price and at the same time claim tax relief - good or not? : )
ReplyDeleteI only have one credit card, so no need to potong anymore : )
ReplyDelete年尾到了，我在想着花红~~~~哈！！！
ReplyDeleteyalo....all credit card must pay 50..damn la....but good advantage and disadvantage la...depend
ReplyDeletehaha, i gave my book receipt to my DS :P
ReplyDeleteshit... i still havent cut my card yet~
買書扣稅？如果唔讀書就冇必要啦！
ReplyDelete又不如。。。你買我要讀o既書。書比我，你keep個receipt。
Yohh...I also havent potong my card...siao liao!
ReplyDelete奇怪，怎么做的事情都是一样。不过我没你这么多张卡。
ReplyDelete噢，多得你提醒，忘記要去取消信用卡添。多謝曬。
ReplyDeleteeveryday i tell myself to cancel the card but i procrastinate. hey do a book review
ReplyDeleteSK个算盘果然打到响响声！有时真係怀疑你有无入错行？哈哈！努力！加油！你一定赶得及最后一分钟架！嘻嘻！
ReplyDeletehaha~
ReplyDelete我现在的生活还不至于用卡~
没这门烦恼~
SK, oh thanks for the reminder not yet 'kot' leh. Will keep two cards.
ReplyDelete你ｃｕｔ 咗三张还有卡用啊？？哈哈，这么有钱有至少三张卡以上，你该ｃｕｔ 啰！ ：ｐ
ReplyDelete我最近忙些 "shirls' planet" 的文章也很久没看书了。谢谢提醒了我。你最近看了什么书啊？
high fives! me too!
ReplyDeleteA smile from SJ =)
哈哈哈……真的很不错哦！读书有益之外还有得扣税！下次你帮我买好了！哈哈……可以扣多点！:P
ReplyDelete先cut掉三张信用卡！你还真的很多张耶！@@
Reading is good... other than tax relief... it does keep our mind active at all times.
ReplyDeleteCredit Card RM50? Now they have waived that no? Only chargeable to people who own more than one card.
HappySurfer:
ReplyDeletehmmm but the problem is the Bank has still not made any concrete announcement yet, and to my dismay one of the Bank has charged me the annual fees which i feel so pissed off!! to be on the safe side, just cancel.. we can apply again in the future if we need to, right?? :)
foongpc:
hey, it's great that you are improving yourself, it's not really good to do things in the very last minute, as most of the time you'll get messed up easily.. err, i didn't get any Chinese books all are English as i find reading in English is easier, hahaha!! yes, i think december is a good time to get more books, since there are sales happening everywhere right?? i'm gonna get maybe a few more, though i don't think i can get the tax relief to the max, hehehe!! so good, you have only got one credit card, good practice so you don't have to worry which one to keep which one to cut.. cool~~
Chris Chia:
ReplyDelete你就好啦, 有年尾花紅, 多少個月?? 你連升三級, 應該很可觀吧?? 恭喜哦~~ :)
Sam Wong:
yeah RM50 charge is a little too much, i never think it's of any advantage or disadvantage but totally a nonsense!! so i have to cut off 3 of mine..
L²:
aiyoh, so sweet of you, maybe you can also share some of those receipts with me?? faster go cut your card lah, you want to pay that extra RM50 meh??
khengsiong:
ReplyDelete自己唔睇都可以送畀人囉, 就係唔甘願將血汗錢白白送出去吖嘛, 不如用嚟做啲更有意義嘅嘢仲好?? 你要我送你書啊?? 可以嘅, 等我諗住要揼嗰陣啦~~ :p
uLi.佑莉:
aiyoh, still haven't go potong?? must fast fast lor..
Chin Weng 茶先生:
現在最熱的話題嘛, 我相信很多人也是和我們一樣的.. 現在不是說誰比較多卡了, 是說誰potong得快!! 哈哈 :D
海市蜃樓:
ReplyDelete唔駛客氣, 見年關將至, 行行好心囉!! 唔係白白畀RM50好冤枉架..
Bengbeng:
hey, now that i have reminded you again, so please do not procrastinate and go cut your cards immediately leh.. better fast than sorry~~
edward:
我呢啲"師奶仔"梗係唔可以輸蝕啦, 全部都係血汗錢, 就咁白白沖入大海, 我覺得對自己唔住囉.. 得喇, 而家都七七八八架啦, 可以高枕無懮喇, 呵呵~~ :p
LAURENCE:
ReplyDelete呵呵, 如果現在給你用卡, 可能問題更多!! :D
Bananazക:
haha, so you must thank me for helping you to save your money.. yeah, i think keeping two cards is good, at least there is backups.. :)
雪芬:
我有五張, cut掉三張剩兩張旁身囉.. 哎呀, 現在有信用卡並不代表你有錢, 現在人人都可以有信用卡的啦, 銀行最賺錢的生意, 何樂不為呢?? 哦?? Shirl's Planet是甚麼?? 難道你真的開始要出書了嗎?? wow, cool~~
SJ:
ReplyDeletehaha, yeah, high five to you!! cheers :)
穷光蛋市长:
哈哈, 所以說讀書是有益的, 下次你買書, 那些收據如果不要可以全數給我, 我一定幫你收下的 :p 哎呀, 多信不代表有錢啊, 多現金才是有米~~ 哈哈!! :D
ladyviral:
yeah, i didn't start to buy books until like mid last year!! kind of regret, but now i think i'll try to buy myself more books, hehehe :p are you sure the banks are waiving the RM50?? i don't think so.. this is a must to pay to Bank Negara, Banks will have to absorb this and pay for their customers if they say they are going to "waive" it.. it's not a small amount actually, unlikely i say..
I am not a last minute person, I actually plan things ahead.
ReplyDeleteI have been reading books lately too, i need to learn stuffs for my pregnancy and my coming baby =)
oh, thanks for the reminder!! i'm yet to go cancel off my credit cards :)
ReplyDeleteAyie:
ReplyDeleteyeah, it's always good to plan ahead so that things would not get messy at the very last minute.. yup, i supposed you must now start to read books on pregnancy and babies already.. :)
victor:
you are welcome, i'm more than happy to remind everyone so that they don't waste money, haha!! :p
