Trekker,
the noise probably only affects the other half of the estate since I don't hear it either.
It's the construction of HDB branch office at the carpark...that's Blk 156A, right?
Now...what can we do about the silly planes that fly by...
I don't remember haulage either...

Hey Trekker,
I forget which unit your's is but I can tell you, I have noisy neighbours too who also quarrel a lot (in cantonese). I always hear them through the kitchen air-well... And in Dec, if you were at home, there was this crazy guy who sounded like he was taking apart someone's gate!
Anyway, read this article in straits times today and there's this guy from LTA who oversees our area... does anyone know why we don't have a covered walkway to link the LRT to our cluster?
I know don't lah...but wrote to LTA to ask...if I do hear from them, I'll post back.

Hey!
Just wondering if any of your bedroom door knobs squeak or is hard to close. Or have you changed your door knobs. I'm thinking of changing ours cos it noisy and stiff but I'm wondering if I can just change the knob or do we have to change the whole door!
Thank!
Happy New Year!

hi all..
my doors are okay for me so far since i dont use the knobs often.. they are mostly left open.. windows wise, there's one room where i have problem closing the windows completely..
anyways, just in case you guys start changing the tubes to your lighting, try to get it elsewhere other than rivervale mall if possible.. i was sourcing for my replacement tubes, i saw the mall selling @ $21 per piece, got mine @ $12 in town at those normal shops.. doubled the price here.. scary!!

LTA did reply afterall...but it's not their tai chee (copy & paste) FYI
We would like to explain that the Land Transport Authority (LTA) provides
covered linkways to major transportation nodes, such as MRT/LRT stations
and bus interchanges, and linking them to bus shelters, taxi stands and
passengers pick up/drop off points. We also provide covers over pedestrian
overhead bridges (POBs) that can be connected to nearby bus shelters via
covered linkways. This is to facilitate convenient and safe inter-modal
transfers for the vast majority of Singaporeans, taking public transport.
Covered linkages between HDB blocks to bus shelters and MRT stations within
your estate are generally considered by either the HDB or town council.
Nevertheless, by copy of this email, we are forwarding your suggestion to
Housing Development Board/ Town Council for their consideration.
We thank you for writing in.

Here's an email update I received from HDB (looks like they really are working!):
Thank you for the enquiry which was redirected to the Pasir Ris - Punggol
Town Council.
We have called for tender in late 2007 to construct a covered linkway from
Blocks 152/153 Rivervale Crescent to the LRT Station. The physical
construction was delayed due to some technical issues.
We are expecting the construction work to commence within the next 1 month.
Looks like more noise for us but I guess in the long run is for everyone's benefit. Now I'm wondering if this construction coincides with that of the HDB branch office at our MSCP!

For those of you who are lucky to be out at work during the day....it's super noisy here!!!
Drilling, all sorts of metal falling on the ground sounds and the sounds of big trucks etc etc... Hope my boy manages to get his nap!
One day I'll ask the foreman when the works is slated to be completed.

Hi all,
I am a postgraduate student from NUS, my current research is moulds growth in HDB estates. I am still looking for case study now. If anyone of you have a black, green, white, pink stains in anywhere in your indoor, its probably moulds attack your house. I can give some suggestion how to avoid them forever and not only cleaning up every weekend and the next day they show up again. So please contact me if you have those stains....
Cheers
Indira

Anyone know who I can complain to about screaming children at the playground after 9pm?
GRRRR....*bangs head on wall* Who are their parents? I actually have a sneaky feeling that they don't even live in this estate.
Do you think I can get the playground to have "opening hours"? We had that overseas...
*blood pressure hits the roof*
If you see a crazy person telling the children off at 9:30...erm...it wasn't me.

I think u can call the police after 10pm, if I'm not wrong (but dun quote me on this). Any time below that is "legal" time.
I called up the police when I was staying in my previous estate due to the Getai during hungry ghost festival. They literally max the speakers, u cant even hear what's coming from ur radio or TV. That's for the noise pollution.

Hi
Anyone using the gas heater facing any problem?
My heater will go "BONG" very loud when u turn on the water and it is taking longer to heat the water and usually towards the end the water is cold!
we had called then to chk but they say is norm wear & tear tt cause the loud "BONG" and will not affect the performance

Trekker,
shows you don't have a baby. If you hear a baby crying...probably mine! He can't stay in the stroller for more than 10 minutes. I wish I had one of those kuai kuai babies who seem to be able to do everything (eat, sleep, drink milk, be entertained) in their strollers...mine wants to be carried.
Green Apple,
I've always had that 'bong' sound whenever I turn on the hot water - from day one. Mine does take a while (2 - 3 mins) to heat up but once it's hot, it stays hot. Mine's on to the max and it's on all the time... ya, considering all things, maybe an electric heater would be better.
Trekker,
I grew up using storage heater, that thing took like 10 mins to heat up before I could shower. My parents came for a visit and they turned on the "water heater" switch and left it on for a while...I saw it and asked that what they were doing...it's not connected to anything!

HI Trekker/ DJ - I had the BONG sound since day one too but this time is really loud like a mini explosion! The other day, as my hubby was bathing, I was looking at the heater... when it went BONG, I could see the flame of fire as high as the heater top (the top cover of my heater is gone) so u can imagine how big the flame is! I off the gas immediately and had called for servicing.
I am waiting for the new Rinnai 8liter gas heater fr Japan which is suppose to be shipped in Apr but now is delayed. Worst case I will settle for their 5 litre heater which they had stop production.
It jus too troublesome to boil water to bathe everyday esp hv 2 little ones at home

DJ,
Nope... thanks goodness, I dun have one.
Well, it's not like "Comes in assorted models, Batteries not included" where I can pick one up from Carrfour or something.
I dun mind a kuai kuai one but let nature takes its course.
I understand that you heat up the water & water will remain hot for the next few hours. My friends juz switched it on when they are back from work & switched it off 30mins later & viola.. hot water for the whole night. Interesting from wat I see, esp I see my gas bill skyrocketing every month from the little hot water showers I take.

Trekker,
I guess it does stay hot for a while but I usually just turn it off. Wait...memories coming back...ya, usually my mom would say, "I just turned it off (after her shower), don't have to turn it on again!"
It's funny how we can remember what our mothers say. haha
You want to "crush test"? Hehe...for inspiration watch "crush test mommy" on ch 70. If you want a real life one, can come and see my baby. I'm not saying it's bad to have a child but you must really really want one if not I think it's too hard.
Since you're trying, i wish you all the best!!

Trekker - my gas heater died! The 5 liter need to be ordered but the feedback is there are problem with the heater! I was told that the amt of gas used to heat the water for shower is 3X the amt we used to cook!
I had decided to replace that with 25L storage tank (veritcal model).

talking about electricity bill....mine averages $130 to $140. Only with the recent increase in electricity tarrifs did my bill reach $150!!
I don't use gas at all...my water heater is the ariston electric storage tank and my stove is also running on electricity. During weekdays, there's no one at home during the day and we on the air con daily. I seldom cook...mostly boil water to make coffee, tea & milk.
So is my bill considered high?

HI
My bill is abt $80 - $90 per mth when I use gas heater. But I seldom on the aircon as my boys are very prone to runny nose if they slp in aircon for 2 - 3 nites continuosly.
My gas usage was also higher than national average considering i only cook 1 or 2 time a week!
My electrical and water usage is below average.
Dj444 - why your bill so high?? U on aircon everyday?
Treker - I will monitor my bills and let u kn.

Hi DJ,
My bill also abt $150~$180 initially but rose up to $200~$220 since last year.
considering using ariston electric storage tank for shower and gas for cooking @ least twice a day.
Aircon a couple of hours nightly and fans are on close to 24hours daily.
With the recent heat wave I think my bills gonna rise again.

Trekker - jus rec'd my bill for May. It was a big JUMP!! From the previous $80 to $100!!
This is the biggest bill I rec'd since I moved in
I am not sure if it is due to the storage tank or the heat wave... we on the aircon more often last mth.
My electricity and water consumption went up almost 100%!
