will take more than 20 yrs to disburse if u contribute for 10 yrs.
1) Under 16 years old at any time during the year; or
2) Studying full-time at a school, college, university or other educational establishment if child was 16 years old and above
Found the link...

Looks like it is not a good long term solution. 20 yrs is v long. If u think of other methods to save tax, let me know hor
sunflower,
dont think it's calculated using straight line method. think it is more complicated than that. u can call cpf board to check the exact amt.

poohy,
I am giving millet porridge. Boil with pumpkin or potato or broccoli. I just boil over the fire.
I introduced brown rice porridge a few days ago. I will cook more for my own meals too. I use thermal pot. Just boil for 15-20 minutes in the morning, and eat for lunch and dinner. I am addicted to thermal pot now. kekeke... very easy and fuss free.. most important is clean kitchen

hee hee ... u plan to go out to work 6 yrs later? oic... my plan is a bit opposite of yours. I intend to cont working for next 10 yrs, pay off all loans, save some money. Then hopefully in my 40s, be at home to take care of the kids cos i am scared that my kids will mix with wrong company during their teenage years. Need adult supervision. Just plan only lah... hope can materialise

hee... I dunno much about taxes one I rely on my hubby. He knows more. But you know more than him. kekeke...
Wen,
I will check my email later ok? Not urgent hor? hee...
I dun give bread to A, cos of the salt and sugar. Sugar will cause hyperactivity in kids, and for now, will also affect brain development according to Prof Shichida. I am also quite apprehensive in giving him toothie peg cos there's salt. I only give when I need him to entertain himself.
I am also looking for alternatives. I think the gardenia five grains bread or sesame bread will be good. The normal wholemeal bread very little wholemeal. I eat them myself, but not for A

mmm...i think my K is overeating then !
she is eating one whole bowl (the pigeon transparante plastic bowl with lid and spoon for mashing up the food) for both lunch and dinner !!
lunch : normally vege - ie, sweet potato, spinah, pumpkin.
Dinner: porridge with fish/ meat/ vege.
Oh, Kgor He is also called Threadfin for those who need to look for it in the supermarkets - think Cold Storage/Giant sells !
I bought one whole fish last week - abt 4 kg - for $45.
Am eating that cuz am still bfeeding !
Tink: wow, your tax knowledge is BEST !! i dunno anything abt tax - just let my hubby do for me ...
i can only claim working mother child relief ... cuz my parents are still working. and my domestic help is under my mum's name - since i'm now living wif mum.
u mean u get tax rebate only AFTER the 2nd child ?? 1st child no rebate ? Ie - rebate is what you can use to offset your tax payment ??
lastly: anyone using baby carriers for your babies ? Ergo ?

poohy,
I give only millet, no white rice. More nutritious, better for brain growth
I do not soak first. But my mum said it will cook fast if soaked for a few hours.
mspiggy,
Maybe feed 2 bottles for one meal lor... That was my plan if I have no time to cook when in Bintan.
A is eating one big bowl of millet or potato, mixed with vegetables every meals. Breakfast is 2 tablespoon of oatmeal - not cooked yet. I think it's a lot, but he can finish.
Poohy,
A is still waking up for milk, although I have been feeding him a lot. He has 4 meals a day. I dunno is it for comfort or really hungry.
tinklebell,
kekeke... we got opposite plans. 6 years is the plan now. Secarly, I forever dun wanna work...
toto,
Do you give J the vegetables? I havent tried choi sum and cauliflower yet. I tried sweetcorn though. Think I will start cauliflower soon. My fridge gonna be packed with all types of vegetables soon after I successfully change to brown rice porridge. kekeke... cos need 6 types from the SM notes...
