@Loh Jane,

Seem grammatically okay. Still another

Catering to my colleague's talkative streak I achieved no rest today at lunchtime (usu single word here)

What is the lowest annual income requiring (initiating, instigating, obligating, triggering etc, http://thesaurus.com/browse/initiate?s=t) an income tax here (in the Kingdom of Formaldia)?


English is kind of fun Jane isn't it

@Loh Jane,
Jane, judging from the inset you appear to be a pretty girl
…inciting the wish I could return to an earlier age
….but only of course if I could retain whatever smarts gained in meantime

While I readily admit I might have approached this very subject once or twice before, without revealing anything critical, can you tell us something about yourself; age, nat. ed., fam, motives, etc etc, stuff one might hope to find for instance, on a profile page

This time however I shall take notes

@Loh Jane,

In (1), "In order to satisfy..." might be considered. (although the meaning is slightly different)

@dalehileman,
Hi Dal,
I am sorry for this late reply and thanks for your advice. I work as a technical officer for a public transport company. My age is still below twenty five. My hobby is jogging, reading and I do like to chat online with mature people. Hence, I have enjoyed chatting with you all. However, I am quite busy. I become a student and a worker next month. I have a Facebook account and you can add me there if you want. Please correct my writing frequently when there are errors, thanks.

@dalehileman,
I think she answered this before, so I'll go ahead and tell. It's Singapore, so that's both the location and the nation. I bet it's so hot and humid I couldn't live there.
