3 weeks of being back to work

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم After the long break, I was bumped to go back to work everyday knowing that I don't have work and having to work longer hours (10am - 4pm) than previously (11am - 3pm). But it turns out exciting since we were discussing on CPF, HDB, Medisave, the new CareShield and since Monday, it was about marriage. I will talk more about marriage in a separate blog because it will be loooong. We were talking about CPF and HDB, how HDB were putting lots of rules to let or don't let us buy resale flats for newly wed/first timer. After much discussion I just realised that the HDB made a new rule not to use all of our OA CPF contribution for our house. They made it harder for younger generation to buy resale and pushing them to buy BTO. For me alhamdulillah we managed to use all CPF that as we bought a 1987 house when I was 30 years old. For my cousin, he got married to his wife of 25 years old, they could only buy a house that aged 29 years (built in 1991) or earlier.  Ho
