After a week of pouring water and no complain from my downstairs neighbour about water leaking. My contractor & her team managed to complete laying the tiles.

and my duty for this week mah....

to select the colour for walls & ceilings. another tough job. Arts... something which I NOT very good at

Any1 has a good suggestion what will be the suitable colours for the ceiling as my flat suffers heat from the sun. (white is a gd reflector, but is it gd to radiant heat out from the flat?)

You should be considering window film rather than wall paint, heat bounce off the window is better than heat bouncing around the house. Maybe even considering double glazed window. See wabisabi t-blog for more info.

The "mini" and odd layout of the common toilet.

I got a small toilet bowl, an instant heater for shower, and a oval shape basin(placed out of the washroom).

Small toilet bowl (in term of length)

Rain drops keep falling on my head... blah blah blah ...

Raining shower from Joven

Oval shape of basin

Mix feeling when saw the Draft master plan 2013, http://www.ura.gov.sg/MS/DMP2013/draft-master-plan/map.html

Hope I will stay at the same estate for next 10yrs or more

It's wet wet week, and there's when the problem surface out.

OMG! Water marking on my newly painted wall. Almost fainted when saw the walls with patches of water markings.... and have to call HDB.

HDB claimed they did water proofing a month ago and the water leaking could be small cracks from the walls and so leak to my walls. But to me.... could it be their contractors didn't do a good job?

Hopefully it will be sunny day for continuous few days as they can only do water proof again on dry day. "Tian Gong " pray U could cooperate.

Else won't know when the furniture can be mounted.

Aiyo! Better get HDB to get it done soon.

I'm also very wary of water seepage from outside into my unit, then L-Box, ceiling, laminate flooring, etc. will be damaged..

(If HDB at fault, can claim bo har?)

To protect myself what I am doing, is to call the HDB branch office to make reports. If the problem can't be resolve and I have to repaint the walls. I will seek compensation for HDB. It's the same regulations if my lower floor neighbour complain water leaking and damage their furniture, I have to compensate them as well. The only different neighbour will give me more pressure... and HDB can only contact thru' phone dunno if they talk talk got action or not.
