That’s beside the point
Being a progressive tax, income tax is taking a sizable amt fr me
Bei siong leh
Govt should start to think hard abt removing property tax since its regressivity is considered undesirable becos its set rate structure penalises the poorer pple like us

The joven contractor should have ensured it’s working perfectly leh before departure
My instant heater @ old hse broke down 1 mth prior to us moving to new (current) hse, and we refused to accede to serviceman’s outrageous quote of $200 (I could get new one liao), so we tahan cold water (at night) for few wks before we were able to have hot showers at new hse, sigh… that heater supposed to be under 1-yr warranty but supplier said this and that what not covered blar blar, frustrating then

i am using a storage heater - ariston... so far so good... does not have 'sometimes cold, sometimes hot' problem...and since i like my shower water hot hot... storage heater very good... used to use instant heater... and the water not hot enough...
btw, how many ppl have moved in liao? maybe we should have a block/block party!

Generally there 2 types of water heaters – instant and storage
Most of us shouldn’t be stranger to instant heater since it’s popular since the 80s till to date. Just switch it on & u get hot water almost immediately.
However for instant heater, there are 2 kinds – 1 run by electricity, 1 run by gas. For the former, it’s commonly found. In recent yrs and many countries, there’s an increased interest to install gas instant heater simply becos of few reasons – 1) run by gas, so less cost since its tariff much lesser than electricity’s (2) u need not switch the heater on and off since it will turn on its heater instantly when it detects running water in the hot water pipe. (3) the gas heater produce very hot water. Shiok, haha The main disadvantage would be, since it runs on gas, it will need to be installed in the kitchen, so might be eye sore to some.
The next category, storage heater, is favoured too since it could be turned on half an hr before bath and switch off. The hot water let’s say 20L can last u for an evening bath. Some even stated that the water will remain warm in the following morning. However it has its own shortcoming too (1) not instant, meaning u have to turn on heater early before bath (2) electricity-thirsty since u need to heat 20L of water (3) u cant enjoy long bath/shower since u’re confined to 20L of hot water (4) it has a higher price (5) rather big and bulky, eyesore
However, my opinion might be skewed since I use an instant gas heater. Others using storage heater may shed more light on their choice and reasons behind it.

Dun experience the ‘hot-and-cold’ with my gas heater
So far so good
So for comparison between gas and electricity heater,
Main difference would be gas heater provide hotter water and consumes less $, haha (since run on gas) but most cant stand the sight of it been installed in kitchen
And another advantage of gas heater was citygas provided it FOC when the gas pipes was extended to my hob, but understand that the FOC offer no more liao

Kevin,
the last time i own a desktop was 5 years ago, like the mobility of laptop but hated the degrading of speed after sometime. should be getting desktop ba since my old laptop are still in good working condition, and i have another company laptop which i only brings home during the weekend. If i get laptop, i would had 3 laptop to play around with, not ideal.
some more, playing with the idea of connecting my old laptop to the lcd tv permanently so that can watch streaming videos at ease.

the sometimes hot and cold is suffer by the instant heater at my parent's house ( should start to use this term liao, hee). cold water starts to come out first for the first few secs, then followed by constant hot water.
i haven't try my storage heater to shower yet, probably should try it sometime soon, hope the pressure works fine.
