Will your condo management office open? Mine not.

Btw, long queue at CPF. Why ar?

Ppl paranoid want to know how much they hv in CPF acct? Some ppl taking this one-month to note down all their assets; some ppl consolidating assets in case of uneventful for family members to reach out to or allocation time? So go Q for printouts or clarifications?

There are some with legitimate worries. Particularly those who hv lost their jobs & still need to finance mortgages thro CPF, etc. Kind of led me to reflection & thots of some of my Professor frds & those financially stable & with empathetic hearts who will not take the Solidarity sum given to them but release it back for helping those who wld approach govt for help as this crisis persists.

Altho there are those who fear for their bz losses (no bz, rent still running, wages still hv yo be paid, etc) and probably highly geared & need to sell off properties & assets. Need to check CPF A/c to see how to re-distribute assets/liabilities. Some high spirit ones looking at mkt want to own that dream house despite this dire outbreak. Check how much can they tap on for property purchases to own sth but may not realize his job is dangling. Cheez!

Like I just rec’d a call fr Citibank mktg to advice me how to maximize my credit card. Then UOB called to inform special rates promotion. Told them both off that during this crisis, these are not essentials. My families needs are top priority. Cheez! Maybe I was shortfused coz getting angst abt circuit breaker kicking in. Haiz!

So, your guess is as good as mine lah. There are indeed strange thoughts flying ard in panic.

The first that came into my mind is CPF nomination. My friend said her will and estate planner got many customers recently. Mine already settled but 2 days ago I gave instructions to DH what to do if I die because of covid (no need funeral and what to do with my ashes).

@Sun, maybe get/ borrow a foldable table.

@coolkids, can heat up water in the microwave oven. If your fridge is on its last leg, consider getting a new one ASAP or have a cooler box on standby just in case.

This is a critical juncture for our nation, let’s do all we can to help break the chain of transmission. Everything else is secondary.

we have extra tables.. we have 4 tables including dining table..but we will only using 2 laptops. 1 for sharing kept at fixed place..sharing with 1 dd..we will just take turns to use.. dd1 likes to use laptop on bed..

use on sofa? we also have this small short table like breakfast on bed table..can use also..

maybe just take turns with the available tables. Since each has own laptop, the one done the work can close the laptop let sibling use?

ikea likely crowded..how abt small furniture shop at neighbourhood?

The other day was just mentioning to DH that those families staying in 2-bdrm small condo will probably be short on space. There’ll be increasing relationship issues, fights/arguments for resources, noise & disturbances when need to go online zoom & teleconference. Pray everyone learn to adjust with give & take. Lots of forbearance & forgiveness.

MKS,
For kids it’s good to keep them on proper desktop when doing written work or typing on laptops. I’m always concern abt young ppl’s posture so they don’t develop spinal problems which are very hard to treat in the future.

Hope the bill tomorrow don’t give blanket rights to all industrial property owners to defer rent. While biz may be bad for tenants, what about property owners who still need to service loans? Unless If tenants can’t pay rental, owners can also defer on loan and interest payment…
