Hey Meowie,

Tks for telling me abt tis earlier, and Good of u 2share w others here, bravo!

BTW, I find it most unbecoming whn u said u only know 1 day b4hand of power shutdown for our blk & ur last min scambling for a fridge!

I, wud hv experienced da same had I moved in or, be really uncomfortable if I were visitin my unit 2pack/clean thgs w/out any fan.

Hi Alister,

Meeting - besides showing our concerns, oso info gathering/update by authorities.. do lemme know if u can attend, k? : )

Ur remark goes 2prove thieves not only strike@ lower flrs lyk Meowie's & mine but oso high flrs too (i seem 2rem u stay real high flr, rite?)so, residents beware, ok?

->I orig intended 2put some sandals os but now, w Alister's reminder & my personal experience w stolen doorbell (all my neighs' too), I may hv 2reconsider, sigh!

I would love to but can't commit now as I have to follow my 2 kids timetable. They are priority. I will sms one of you on the actual date itself.

Heard from the grapevine that the TC/RC has taken notice of our concerns. They are aware of the on-going nuisance and will be coming up with some measures to hopefully resolve the situation on the Sky Garden.

Let's hope for some good news in the coming weeks.

I'll rest my case for the time being.

- i olso heard, i olso heard.

Hi all

Just had a quick chat with the RC chairman this afternoon. He is aware of our concerns and is addressing them. Pls give them time to work out a solution. As it involves many parties, they definitely need some time to study.

If I am installing CCTV at the garden, I will require at least 3 month duration - invite tender, figure out best location to mount the cameras, decide who's responsible to monitor it 24 x 7. If crime is spotted, what is the procedure to follow etc.

Even asking the painters to paint over those "wordings" on the wall, they need to get approval for the budget to spend and getting the contractors to find a time to come down etc.

So pls tone down those bashing as they are volunteers just out to help us residents. Like I said earlier, one of the renotalk member is also a RC member. In a way, we should appreciate their effort as they hold full time jobs as well.

I suggest we still go ahead with the planned meeting with the police to highlight our concerns.

For those who don't know me, I am not a govt spy or supporter; just happen that I try to put myself in their shoes.

I have talked to Meepok and he agrees with me on certain points so let's make peace currently.

Side issue - I also have my wife and my sandals missing when I put it out at the open shoe rack outside my hse; so I just keep it in hse now as my floor receives many "visitors" at night. And alot of couples carrying out their courtship at the staircase.

- but i suspect u r 007.

- but i m 777.

- i understand how 'they' work, dats y in my earlier post, i simplifed in my own words e whole process frm complain... -> evaluation... so dat those who do not know wil get 2 noe.

- btw, although i'm 777, i'm not gahment agent olso.

- if got chance, i olso wan 2b gahment agent.

- i belief many of e neighbours understand e whole 'process'.

- e forum is here, so at least there is a avenue 2 'voice out' their concern & unhappiness.

- sometimes e words used might b kinda 'powderful' but their aim is 2 speed up e whole process.

- lethal or not lethal arrow? Up 2 individual liao, i can only post wat i noe.

- if not wait kana 'mark', no 'gahment bonus'.

- cant deny, i had seen improvements in 79 day after day. Actions r being taken by whichever 'party' involved in their scope of work.

- i'v seen 'men in blue' patroling e sky garden, 'TC cleaners' sweeping e staircases, clearing e reno debris, washing e floor, painting external facade of e wall etc etc...

- jus dat its either e effort is stil not sufficient enough or e pace is kinda slow 2 wait.

My conclusion:

- give e benefit of doubt 2 e relevant parties dat 'they' r doing their job, b it paid or unpaid job.

- give e benefit of privilege 2 e forumers, dat 'they' r voicing out their concern & unhappiness, b it 'powderful' or 'not powderful' words.

We live in a world of perceptions'

Agree with Jacky777 that we should see the response for the meeting attendance by end Aug. Cos by the number we are having now (6 household over 1158 units) it's just 0.5%!!

Hopefully more ppl will step up and join us (that is if they are interested to) in the talk with the authorities. It still seems that the mentality of watever happens be it at 12th storey garden, 8th storey MSCP garden, break-ins, murder.... as long as it does not happen at their level.... dun care lah. So frankly, why should we either? Wasting time and effort?

I guess we got much better stuff to do then bother about the sky garden ah.... be it suicide, vandalism, robbery, murder, etc.... just dun visit that area and you are 50% safe from these stuffs from happening to you. If things start to drop from the sky and hits you, then i guess you must be that unlucky 0.1%. Must go buy 4D ah.

Good Luck!

I rest my case too.... will wait till the cow comes home....moooo.....

Anyone find that after we boiled the water, it has a strong "medicine" taste?

It tastes ok when we drink from the tap though.

- e probm lies in e kettle or thermal flusk or e appliance u uses 2 boil e water.

- e metal of it, is somehow made of a 'inferior quality', after heating, wil produce dat kind of 'smelly metal' smell.

- try using another old 1 or get a new different 1, u wil taste e difference.

- but remember, Its Hot After Boiling, b it kettle or water.
