My Life My Memories: I never like to assume

when people ask me out, I dont assume they are asking me to bring bf along too.
I believe if they want the bf to go, they will ask me to get him along.
Or at least, I will ask if they mind the bf coming along.
Vice versus, if bf's friends ask him out, and bf wants me to go, I will ask if they REALLY ask me to go along or not. I dont like to assume.
I never want to be 不请自到

I am just being considerate and courteous. If you get what I mean not because I dont care about the bf.

*************

TIME is kinda tight for me right now, CNY is coming, with gatherings in the planning, project meetings and of course dear.
It's kinda tricky to plan now.
DONT ASK ME WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT. THEY ALL ARE.
I just want to plan as appropriately as possible and I want to accomplish everything if possible.

I havent met my sch friend for ages, project is due soon AND I havent met dear this week yet.

SO PLEASE understand.

On another note.

Household incomes up
Income gap here narrows.

DESPITE the severe impact of inflation, Singaporeans were bettter off last year. Their family income rose across the board.
A key reason for the increase was the buoyant labour market, which saw more people with jobs and drawing higher salaries.

Latest official figures show the average monthly income for all Singapore households went up by about $700 in a year, from $6,300 in 2007 to $7,090 last year.

The group showing top gains is the middle-income household, with incomes of $6,730 a month. Even after inflation was taken into account, their annual income per family member rose the fastest at 5.4 per cent last year, according to an occasional paper released by the Department of Statistics on Tuesday.

The paper is Key Household Income Trends in 2008 .

Worst off are the bottom 20 per cent of household earners, according to the paper on Key Household Income Trends in 2008.

After working in inflation, the bottom 10 per cent earned just 1.9 per cent more last year, while the 10 per cent above it made 2.9 per cent more. But Government help in the form of GST (Goods and Services Tax) credits and Workfare Income supplement helped improve the lot of the lower income.

On average, a person living in one- and two-room HDB flats received about $1,670 from the Government last year. The sum is more than double the $720 given to residents of private property.

The result of the income improvements is a narrowing of the income gap in Singapore, said the Statistics Department.

As a result, the Gini coefficient, which measures income inequality, has dropped from 0.489 in 2007 to 0.481 last year. If Government aid is taken into account, the figure drops further - from 0.479 to 0.462.
