Household median incomes increased in 2010: DOS


-- ST FILE PHOTO
HOUSEHOLD incomes got a strong boost last year in tandem with strong economic growth, a paper released by the Singapore Department of Statistics (DOS) showed.
Median monthly income from work among resident households increased by 3.1 per cent, from $4,850 in 2009 to $5,000 in 2010.
For employed households, or households with at least one working person, median monthly income from work increased from $5,400 in 2009 to $5,700 in 2010. Median monthly household income from work in 2010 recovered to above the level before the economic downturn in 2009.
Those living in smaller housing types saw larger growth in household incomes compared to those living in bigger housing types, the paper revealed. Increases in median household incomes across housing types ranged from 7 per cent for those in HDB one and two-room flats, 3.6 per cent in HDB three-room flats, 2.4 per cent in HDB four-room flats and larger, and 0.2 per cent for those in private properties.
The DOS paper added that various government schemes had added $1,110 per household member to resident households in 2010, which also gave a larger boost to those staying in smaller housing types.
Resident households in HDB one- and two-room flats received an average of $2,650 per household member while resident households in HDB three-room flats received an average of $1,480 per household member. This was higher than the $530 per household member for households in private properties.

Percaya Padaku

All I can say for now is that.

When I first heard this song, 

The first person I reached out to was one person.

When I said a little prayer to God,

The feeling of at ease was so great. 

It amazes me to no end every single time
ever since

cos it started with one person. 

the same person.

I felt so happy singing this song.

I hope you'll know it too :)

"I've tried so hard, but I've always felt that you're treating me as your best friend".

I'm happy for you. Knowing that you are able to do much more for yourself than that of what you claim yourself to be. I am only fearful of one thing from you, and that deters me. If only. If only I can get over that, really.


You keep telling me that I deserve someone better.


I am always so unsure if I actually deserve anything afterall.

I'm on the edge of drowning myself in work.

Dengan nama Allah yang amat pemurah lagi amat mengetahui.
Ampunkanlah dosa dosaku, ibu bapa ku, abang abang ku dan keluarga ku. Tambahkanlah keimananku dan ketaqwaanku. Ya Allah, tunjukkanlah aku jalan yang benar.
Ya Allah, hanya Engkaulah yang maha mengetahui. Lindungilah aku dari segala kejahatan dan kesiksaan, mahupun dalam diriku sendiri atau yang ada di sekelilingku. Jauhilah diriku dari keburukan dalam segi ahklak mahupun iman.
Ya Allah, tersirat di dalam hati ini untuk menemui kotamu yang suci, dan menunaikan haji dan umrah, dan mengekalkan rukun islam yang diberikan kepada umatmu. Sesungguhnya aku masih belum matang semasa aku jejaki tanah sucimu dua tahun yang lalu, dan aku terasa amat malu dan aku sedar akan kelemahanku. Aku bersyukur keatas kebaikkan yang telah kamu berikan.
Ya Allah, aku ingin mohon kepadamu untuk sentiasa memberikan kebaikan terhadap diriku dan keluargaku yang tersayang. Dengan kebaikan yang diberi, jauhkan kami dari perasaan riak dan sombong diri.
Ya Allah, teringin dalam diriku untuk mendapat teman seumur hidup. Engkau telah mencipta umatmu dengan cara berpasangan, dan aku mohon kepadamu teman yang secocok dengan diriku. Yang kekal imannya terhadapmu, yang boleh mendidik diriku, dan sentiasa mendekati dirinya denganmu, dan sentiasa menyayangi keluarganya. Ya Allah, berikanlah aku kesabaran terhadap perasaan yang aku alami dan jauhilah diriku dalam alam kesunyian.
