CPF

After the 2.5k scare i got frm my dad, (which i'm still recovering frm it. Maybe i'm making too big a fuss of it, but hey, it created an impact alrite.) i'd been thinking of ways to save money the wiser way possible (i.e so that i still can have enough to spend, get my W&Ns and enough for emergencies and my parents).

I was thinking about it on the bus ride home and i came up with an idea which i mention to xy and later to my dad.

The idea comes from our govt which they name it "CPF".

I was thinking of setting up a CPF account for my parents. That is , for every 20% of 'allowances' i give my parents monthly, i open a bank account and save it for them. If at the end of the yr and they wanna go travelling or such, they can use that amount to go anywhere they want. Or in the case of any emergency, there is something to fall back on.

Well, as you can guess, the response from both my dad n xy wasnt good. Aft i mention to me dad, he laugh (prententiously), look at me for a brief moment(to see if i'm serious), and went back to what he was doing. All these indicates the signals for 'try if you dare and you will see what i will do. Not in a good sense obviously.'

Can see hes not a firm beliver of CPF either. Haa...
