Hey Kevin,
Thanks for the Mr Lai's contact. He came down to my place this afternoon and going to do the metal shelving for me on Wednesday.
Yeah, the noise of the airplanes are really annoying...and i'm surprised when I heard them this morning. Its Sunday and so early man.. I was still sleeping and been woke up by them...

mr lai was supposed to do my metal shelving last sat, i told him repeatedly must be before 3.30pm and he says no problem. that day, he called back and say he can only reached at 4.15pm earliest, i told him to return the next week. siann..
kevin, in that case maybe i should just open the casement windows instead of the top one. i go into the toilet, came out with my feet wet ... immediately and see traces of black markings on the floor from my feet. can imagine how dusty it is on the floor.

seems like the dust issue is really really bad.
a bit strange cos i stay 5 mins walk from our estate (the pink color estate) and the dust doesn't seem that bad.. hmmm?

whyme,
i think just that renovations are by far too many in our area right now. I'm pretty sure it is part of the cause because after our neighbour renovating his house, my door and the tiles near the entrance by all cover by a layer of dust. Luckily he told me renovation will end by this week.

SY Chen,
I was playing mahjong at my friend's house at that night, as i was facing the tall windows at the living room, can keep seeing lightnings, and wait for rain but never come.
Kevin,
I don't know if the cocoa smell is worst at lower floors cos when i go back to my house at 10pm +, the smell seems not so obvious. Maybe i was already immune to the smell after nearly 5 hours of torture. heh

u noe, when exit AYE , u exit n travel along jalan boon lay, its tat stretch b4 u reach JP. look on ur left.
so i supposed whether we smell it or not depends on the wind direction that day. HA HA
this kind of thing can complain or not?
maybe they can do more to contain the smell, like not letting off the gas during night time or weekends, or neutralise the smell before letting it out.

NDP is coming. Expect more of those roarings... Used to study at JJC.. and wow. is really really loud... but we don't really hate them coz can take a 'break' in class...until all those fighter planes zoom past us..
Tried to enquire about sound proofing our area, but seems way out of budget.. Guess may have to buy sound proof draperies..

Well, the sounds made by those planes are so much louder when they passed by JW st 42. I'm teaching there and often have to pause my 'talk' just to let these planes passed...haha..
By the way, just realised some cracked lines on my main door. You think if I go report it to HDB, they will do something about it?

i also found small tiny crackline on bedroom doors.. but dunno if should report. it's like all over the place; here and there got a bit a bit that kind.

whether u smell it depends on the wind direction and importantly, the orientation of your windows. urs should have luxury of cocoa-filled fragance in ur hse liao, since facing JP. others like sy chen's, the windows face away and overlooking the garden, unlikely to smell the cocoa

hihi,
the issue of improving our traffic condition has been brought up in the forum page on the Chinese newspaper. The HDB says that they cannot do a right turn at the entrance of our estate. They say they will be exploring other ways to improve the traffic condition...
ha ha... i wonder what else they have in mind...

Angie,
When is the papers? I'd like to read the article... Funny, don't understand why can't they make a right turn into the estate...
If we don't make the illegal U turn, we will have to waste a lot of time to go one BIG round to get to the PIE or into our estate....
That's a terrible wastage of time and FUEL especially with the escalating fuel prices!! :x

angie,
i just went to read the article and i find it quite sarcastic when he says something like "you think every neighbourhood can have a direct turn into the estate meh". LMAO ...
and he ended off saying they will look at other alternatives...maybe sometime later someone should write in and ask what's the other alternatives... i'm sure it means no alternatives indirectly. Ha ha .. He should just say "go live with it"

WOW.. LTA not yet reply me via email on my request, already got reply in zabao. I don't have zabao leh...
I think the alternative is for HDB/LTA to see if there is another better entrance to our estate, prob the side facing temple?
Obviously it is a serious design flaw to the entrance/exit of the estate. Even the left turn into the entrance of our estate after coming in from the slip road is not prominent and too short a distance to slow down & turn left. Many visitors will surely miss it and go one big round.

or they will brake suddenly or they will *enter* through the *exit* just waiting for something to happen..b4 they do anything
this reminds me of a case of fire in singapore. cant rem the place but apparently people feedback to the town council, govt abt objects blocking at stairway landings for years to no avail. until it caught fire and people died. then mp start coming and finger pointing.
i am a bit hazy on the details ie i could be wrong but it was something like that..

I was thinking why can't they just remove the entire divider outside at st 64? This way we could turn out either way!
I agree that the sign for entrance is not prominent, motorists might enter via the exit if they miss the entrance or if they duno which one is entrance. Actually our estate is not condo whereby there is a guard house station in btw entrance & exit to indicate clearer entrance & exit road, can't they just do away with the separate entrance & exit and merge as one road with arrow markings on the ground to indicate the way?
