Dryer really helps.Totally agree, we are completely dependent on the dryer now to dry our clothes. What to do? There is almost zero sunlight and wind in the kitchen due to the rubbish chute and the space to hang our cloths are so limited. Not to mention also that we also risk our clothes to be dirtied by the ongoing renovation works if we hang them on the outdoor rack. Crossing my finger that my electircity bill will normalise and go down significantly in the coming months... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The base station that the mobile phone connects to are most likely to be on the ground floor, and I believe they are normally optimised to have strong coverage in the horizontal direction and not as much in the vertical direction, so on the high floors may have somewhat patchy reception. This is the downside to staying so high up Probably best to call up the telco and let them think of solution for us...

Omg, I wonder how are we going to survive compared to our current house, where it drys overnight if the temperature is not too low. Looks like we have to get a dryer after all Would love to view your photos Both of you look so sweet in the photo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The person I talked to is "yan long". He promise to get back to me.Someone pls complain to Singtel. Actually I think M1 also have the same problem as my wife is using them and also have the same issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe have a list so more systematic. haha.. see ya all..Why dont we have the gathering earlier to finish all the food first, otherwise, we will all have to find some way to carry around all the food while going round to various houses, or leave it at someone's place which will be the last house on the list.Also, like that hor got energy to jalan jalan, and work out all the food that we makan.
