Sharing my 2 cents worth thought on the showerhead... I works fine for me but dunno whether it will be so for all...anyway, what I did was this..
Not sure if you all notice this, but we dun have to wait for the water heater to heat up the water cos it's an instant combustion... all you have to to is to turn on the water heater, then turn on your shower mixer to the extreme left (for maximum hot water) and you get hot water very soon. Once you feel the hot water, you then turn your shower mixer to the temp you require. I got my hot water in seconds when I do that, and my temp is only at 38 degree (which is the minimum temp according to Corolla).
And to get constant supply of hot water, you got to leave your tap on... maybe get a pail to contan the water while you soap so you dun waste water this way...
Maybe you all can try tonight and see how...

Hi Velva,
Are you from PG too?
I bought mine from NTUC, they cost about $9+. There's anor hardware shop on the 2nd flr of Rivervale Plaza selling all kinds of household products sells the door brush too. They are a few varieties, one of which cost $9.50.
I thing I noticed about the door brush is the adhesiveness of the tape that came with the brush. It's not that adhesive afterall cos it become loose a few times and I got to stick it back... not sure if I didn't clean the door well enough to get rid of the dust before I stuck it onto the door... but so far it still serves its purpose...cos that little lizard couldn't get into out unit
But for small ants, maybe the brush might not be that effective cos they are too small to block...

Corolla,
I didn't leave the tap on too... cos maybe I didn't take too long to turn it on again... but then again, I think what I did everytime I turnon the tap was to turn the mixer slightly to the left for more hot water to flow out then turn it back to the optimum temp I want after I feel the hot water... for me, I sometimes find the water too hot for comfort

Hi Carol, Coralla
I set it at 55 and do not need to keep the tap running. I turn to the extreme left as what Carol has mentioned, when it is hot, I set it in the centre or slightly more to the right. U will get temp just right. To set it to 55 was taught by a friend who is also using the same gas heater. Initially she has problem operating it and she got the technician to come down. This temperature setting is taught by the gas heater technician. U may try it out.
BTW, are all of u attending the residents' gathering this Sat. I may not be able to make it.

Hi Betty,
Thanks for your advice. Hmm... will turning on the temp to max translate into higher gas bill, i.e. same analogy like the aircon? Cos for aircon, the lower the temp, the higher the power consumption = higher PUB bill. Does it mean that the heater will heat up the water at max so that you get hot water at shorter time? *scratch head* Hmmm...maybe should call up one of the Paloma technicians to check on that...
Oh ya, I shld be going for the "wu lin da hui"

Nutty,
I think the range can be from as low as $1400 to $1800 or more, depending on the type of materials you choose, and whether you want day curtains on top of the usual night curtains. I think the type of curtains play a part in the diff in cost as well.
Mine is a 3+1 and I spent close to $1700 for the whole house. I have day and night curtains for my living and MBR. I have organza for day curtains and some 30% silk type of material for most of my rooms. Hope that helps.

Hi nutty,
We have the same configuration as you for our home and we spent $1900 for our curtains.
For curtains, we have:
- roman blinds for 2 bedrooms (with the bay windows)
- curtains for the MBR, living room, and the bedroom with full length window
- day curtains for MBR and living room
Curtains are silk like materials from Belgium, and day curtains are those standard types (cost just $170 for both living and MBR). Like what carol mentioned, cost depends largely on the types of materials you choose. Roman blinds are also more costly than roller or curtains due to the mechanism.

Hi nutty - we spent a grand total of circa $600 for our curtains! Only tailor-made the lounge, got the rest (off the shelves or sewn) from IKEA & hubby installed the rods.We have day & night curtains for the lounge, MBR & 1 bedroom, and wooden blinds for the other bedroom & living. hehe...cheap alternative

MissyLan,
You got to compare apples to apples (i.e. material alike) then you can tell whether ganna chop or not. But like what EIG said, pay already then dun think abt it..unless you have not paid in full, then tell the curtain maker that he charged you very high cos all your neighbours got theirs in less than $2K,then see if he can lower his price a bit...

Hi Corolla,
Where do you set the temperature to 55 ? Mine can only go from 38 to 42 only from the panel outside the bathroom.

Betty, Corolla & Felicia,
Are we having diff water heaters here??!!
. Tonight I will go try and see what's the min and max temp my heater can allow...
Anyone knows what's the purpose of having the timer? You set the time and it doesn't switch off by itself... then why bother to have that silly timer?

Maybe tonight I'm going to read the manual ONCE AGAIN... now scratching head as to why diff pple got diff experience using the same kind of heater...
Betty,
I'm the type who's concerned about high PUB bills... so I'm most concerned when it comes to things like air con and heater as they consume the most energy. Dunno if the bill will be higher if I forgot to switch off the heater after I've bathed and realised only the next monring??! Cannot, tonight must do some reading

I was told the consumption of gas is very low. Even if u hv forgotten to switch it off, there is a cut-off time automatically. Previously, I used to on my electric water heater 365 days at my 4-rm HDB flat. My mthly bill comes up to abt $130. My maid cooks, mop, wash everyday. Is it consider high? But here, I'm also afraid of high PUB bills, therefore I did not on it all the time. I do remember to switch it off cos I will always check.

Betty,
Hee, you're also like me, scare of high bills... Actually $130 for a household of 4-5 is not at all high, esp if you did switch on aircon on some days. My old PUB bill came up to as much as $160 in those very hot mths when we would turn on the aircon at night before we sleep.
I hope my bill will not not exceed $80 every mth now...

Yes, when I just shifted into my 4-rm flat, my PUB was $180 and more. I almost die of heart attack. That's the time when I on my aircon everynight. I even get the PUB pple to come down to check my meter. He told me that I hv computer, tvs, video, electric water pot, etc, etc........Immediately, I stop using aircon and use fan instead. I also bought a device that helps to reduce the electricity. After cutting down my aircon usage and with the help of the device (dont know whether it really helps or not).
Now, I am more cautious in my new house. Anyway, I dont need to on aircon as it is very windy.

Hey Betty,
One of these days you must show me the device if got the chance. Maybe you can come visit me or I go visit you
Ya, agree it's really windy in PG over the past 2 weeks...but noticed that the winds are not as strong this week... can only feel the wind if I open my windows really wide. Otherwise, not much winds liao leh...

Not sure if anyone noticed this last night. I came home around 9pm last night and saw a group of guys playing tennis. They looked like they are enjoying their ball game cos laughter can be heard once in a while.
2 hrs later at , they are still at their game... like a bunch of Duracell Bunnies....still full of energy...
I really kowtow to them..
But one question, can we play till that late? Cos it was almost 11.30pm when they left the court...I thought the court's lights are usually off after 10 or 10.30pm..?

Ya, I saw pple playing tennis but didnt know that they ends so late. Fm my understanding, is upto 10pm. The switches of the lights are inside the court (need to self service). U can actually inform the security to stop these inconsiderate pple.
Hi Carol, I hv registered in the PG forum. U take a look. I hv sent u a message (testing)to make sure that I can PM before giving u my address. Cheers!

Betty,
Hee, I saw your message and reply liao
No lah, I didn't inform the security cos that's the first time I encounter these Duracell Bunnies. Moreover, I wasn't sleeping at that time yet so not that bad. If I didn't hear wrongly, I think they did "shhh" one anor when they got too loud.. so they are not totally inconsiderate... maybe they just want to play a little longer since it's that last slot. Anyway, they look like a funny bunch
But if they get too rowdy and plays till that late every night, then maybe more residents (including me) will be put off by the noises.

Hi to all Pk Greeners. If you want to know which electric appliciances consume less energy and help save PUB bills, check out this links. I had selected all my electric appliciances with the help of this link http://www.neec.gov.sg/ELS/aircon.asp
