De one with S19A

S19A: 100% or 33.3% Accelerated tax claim for capital allowances

Let me paint a picture in your mind. Beneath the blanket of stars and moonlight, tall crystal glasses of shiraz. Sitting on dry, soft virgin carpet grass. A secluded spot in the wide park, scented with critus or vanilla candles. A free orchestra of distance crickets. This would the idea setting where I'd very much love to have my proposal to be.

And suddenly... a hasty wind came, the surprised fireworks trigger off at the wrong time. The overwhelming glare replaced the intended surprise finale. Due to the intense change in temperature, condensed clouds started to form and it couldn't hold my longer that a downpour came. No, it is indeed not ideal.

This is the ending when one's too impulsive, impatient or too determined to get what they want. Of course, not that the above behavior is ineffective. Don't develop a mis-perception. It does work sometimes and it fuels your motivation to get a job done. Especially with people who don't coorperate.

I wished feelings could be like this. Unfortunately, it's not. Yes, I'm always speeding. Practically with things or people I want so dearly. And what speeding does? You get a red ticket.

Before I continue on, I just wish to clarify nope, I didn't not commit the same "crime" or make any silly decisions lately. I just thought, it's time to be honest with myself.

I live my life in a way which is pretty much similar to claming capital allowances under S19A of the Singapore income tax act. That is, most of the time it's accelerated. And end up, regretting some. Others... maybe not.

As much as I have learn to bounce back rapidly, I realised there were a couple more ways which I could deal with the "disaster" of psychiatric-decisions I've made.

Besides handling my emotions, keeping them into a box and dealing with them later. Like what Bree from Desperate Housewives says. Apart from letting go. I've discovered lately I needed to give second opinions about staff I've decided on. To my horror, my second opinions often made me embarrassed and realise what a fool I was to have chose something undesirable.

And I'm happy. This boy's growing.
