Higher electricity tariffs in 4th quarter

Tue, Sep 25, 2007

The Straits Times

ON THE heels of higher oil prices, Singapore Power on Tuesday announced an increase in electricity tariffs for the period between Oct 1 and Dec.

Electricity costs will go up an average of 0.86 cents to 21.38 cents per KWh.

This adds up to an increase of between $1 and $4.20 per month for one to five-room HDB flats.

Electricity prices are adjusted every three months.

The last increase was made for the July-to-September quarter, when prices went up 1.62 cents to 20.52 cents per KWh.

take pics leh...

actually - this thing has been around for quite long liao - no detergent needed bcos of the chemical content on the sponge. but it will wear off/loses it's magic after some time.

Hi Mace, tried the duck mold on the silicon on my shower screen....

I bought the Duck mold yesterday, spray on the moulds in the afternoon for a few hours, can see

the moulds disappear by 30%. Then after our shower at nite, I spray quite a lot again and leave it overnite.

And guess wat???? I woke up tis morning to check again, first thing in the morning and the moulds oni hv 20% left....Wow! I dun need to do anything....and the moulds disappear by 80% after 2 usages!

I am gonna try it again today.......hopefully the remaining moulds will disappear soon....

Mabbe some moulds are more stubborn, so need more time to work on it....

Bt duck molds smells like bleach smell, no good to smell to much...a lot of chlorine...bt duck mold dun hurt my tiles la....which I am afraid of...

Nevertheless, it is highly recommended!

Lighting equipements and Light Bulbs. (philips)

this co has fixed pricing - they sell to contractors.

Hi Mace

I am replacing my 20 old bedroom circular fluorescent light wth a new set of light, I saw your article on the electronic ballast, did U change that yourself? I notice theres no longer a need for starters. Only input L and N, but not sure how the connection to the circular lights is done

BTW where did u get the Electronic Ballast? Is it really 9 bucks?

get the philips e-ballast from the list above - choo chiang. $9 bucks.

for circular lights, when you put the lamp on the floor, there are 4 pins rights?

the L and G is actually the 2 pins on the right and 2 pins on the left. connect either side is ok as long as it's in a loop.
