SERIOUSLY . TRULY . UNIQUELY.

~ REVISED ~

After posting this entry in the morning, one of my all-time reader suggests that I should just hang my mop in the toilet.  This way, 100% guarantee no complaints from anyone.  But since before moving, even in my old flat, I always hang my mop this way.  No issues what??  Anyway, 讲那么多也讲不赢。。。 不讲了。（Talk so much also no use. ..  waste of breath).

My other reader on the other hand, instead of addressing to the issue, suggest that I should be more tactful on my language.  She point out the recently a poor French blogger got fined by the court because she left a bad review on a restaurant?!  READ ARTICLE HERE

So, conclusion:

1.  I should find a more suitable, place (TO MY LIKING)  for me to hang my mop. At the same time I must please everybody and anybody so as to have NO complaints from any/.whatever issues.

2.  I should immediately edit my post so I dont sound sarcastic and offend anybody and/or everybody.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Since the day I shifted here, I've been doing this.

I'm not sure if my neighbours have any grudges about my action?  The unit directly below mine is empty.  Further more, I would never hang out anything dripping wet outside!  Damp and wet YES, I admit...but water-dripping mats, laundry - NO!  In fact, I simply kept quiet about water dripping from above units, but since it doesnt affect my laundry, therefore, no point kicking up a fuss and spoil relations..

So can you imagine when I got this notice on Tuesday! Since the one ringing/knocking didnt identify himself, there's no reason for me to open the door especially in the evening.  I hate sales personnel!

Issit for safety reason or have I offended my neighbours in anyway?

I'm not angry, but just wondering?  So far, I have no issues with any neighbours, and do not wish for any in future either.

OH, btw, for the many past few years.... new BTOs no longer have the luxury of sticking our laundry out in the sun.  Now what we have is call a "Laundry Rack" and it's permanently fixed in just one position.

OK, so for the last 2 days, I went around and took pictures.

LIke this can?

Like that can? 

Empty laundry basket?  Can?

Not 1 but 2! Can? Compared to my version of having the mop stick resting on the ledge and mop head over the rack, this owner has the mop head resting on the rack, but nothing to support the mop stick.

Click to enlarge, see how owner make use the a/c ledge at the unit below.
Not sure like that can or not?

As long as item doesnt roll off or drop when retrieving, a/c ledge is part of property.
So can put right?

Anyway, a/c ledge can put or cannot put also not up to us the owner to say.

Like that can??  The design of this kitchen faces the wall of the stair well and

not very visible from the lift lobby.  

This is a different BTO that faces my unit.  The unit above has a pail.

The unit below has not 1, not 2 but 3 items! Can?

I'm not a difficult person, nor am I being unreasonable.  But it clearly shows that I'm not the only one with an odd item at our laundry rack.  I wonder do they get a "reminder" too?

Simply to say, I suay lor (down on luck)!

If these people are so free, STILL MAKING HOUSE CALL IN THE EVENING, or any other time spying on us, I suggest the go for a walk around the neighbourhood to fix those lighting ONCE & FOR ALL!  I've since sick and tired of reporting faulty lights at the roof top garden!

I report, they fix.  No report = faulty lights??  Welcome lor, this is how we work here lor.  Very typical system.

So now the other way, they complaint about me??  Never mind lor, push a bit, move a bit.

 Dont say I never act on my part.

Dont tell me like that also danger??

Arh neh ay say boh!

这样可以了吗？

Like that can or not?

Ini Boleh? Tak Boleh?

THE MOST UNDER UTILISE CORNER

Yep - that's our balcony.  It's not very big but I wont say it's cramp either.

I used to dry laundry out here in the morning since the we have a unblock view from our right.  But it's the forever ongoing constructions that keep us from our own balcony.  Depending on the load of my laundry, I try not to put anything out here due to the amount of dust that sits there every passing minute.

Two years on, with the surrounding BTOs completing at snail speed ... and with more people coming in - hopefully by end of 2014 I can fully utilise this tiny space of mine.

For the time being, it's home to our very colorful guppies.

A few months back, he gotten the wooden deck a fresh coat of lacquer.  Slowly, we added a fish tank and last weekend, he spent the whole afternoon DIY-ing the cabinet. and beautifying the aquarium.

Slowly, but surely, we maybe adding 2 chairs and a table so we could really sit out and enjoy our afternoon tea.

SAMSUNG KITCHEN

OK, after years of hesitation, the Pay Master finally decided to go ahead and gotten new fridge and washing machine for our (not so new) pigeon hole.

We made use of the Samsung CNY Promotion

My new MADE IN KOREA, 551ltr Side-by-Side fridge,  RSH5SUSL.
My previous fridge was about 380-400ltr?  Not quite remember.

My fridge.

My freezer.

My new Made in Thailand, 8kg washing machine, WA80F5S7.
My previous washer was only 5.5kg.

We were quite worried that the measurements provided, the machine seems quite big for our washer base.  This base was made based on the size of the previous washer.  Luckily it fits nicely.

With this 2 purchases,  we were entitled to grocery vouchers, a microwave and a vacuum cleaner.

This has been with us for years, I bought this brand/model because my mum owns one too.

But the glass plate no longer rotates and Pay Master wanted to give it up.
Luckily, I was able to bless it to someone who doesnt mind the defect.

The new, Made in Malaysia, very futuristic looking microwave,  GE83M.

So futuristic that I cant even see where to press!
Tried it a few times, I'm still trying to develop my feelings to it.

There's also a vacuum cleaner SC5250, yet to be collected from the redemption centre.  Since our vacuum cleaner is working fine, we decided to sell off this new item.

From Smartphone, to notebook and tablet, and now a kitchen full of Samsung appliances, Samsung really ought to give me the Royal Fan Trophy.

In case you are wondering what happened to my old fridge and washer... I bless it to the uncle of the electrical shop that sold me the items more than a decade ago.  He ensure that he will not dismantle the items, instead they will be given a proper clean up and to be sold off/donate to foreign workers' dormitory or homes.

MADE IN KOREA

Two years ago, when we were excited about the BIG SHIFT to the new place, we bought 2 new beds each for kids' room and replaced the old glass dinning table.  As for electrical appliances, they were all existing ones, including these 2 very loyal kitchen mates, my LG fridge (approx 420ltr nett) and washing machine (5.5kg).

Both appliances - made in Korea, it was partially paid for by my parents as a gift to us newly-wedded more than a decade ago.  From a couple, to having new additions along they way and till date, they continue to provide their services to us.

In preparation for the shift, I thought it's time to get a new and bigger piece of equipment.  I thought of getting a larger (581ltr nett) side-by-side fridge and a 8kg or 9kg washing machine.

But every time, after browsing thru the stores and painstakingly measuring the area.... the idea of making a new purchase just get thrown out of the window... WHY???

Because the current appliances are still in good working condition!!!  Dirty, messy or whatsoever, I see no reason to discard them!!

Which 2nd hand dealer is willing to pay $100 for a 10 year old fridge??  I cant bear to see good things going to waste, neither I want them to be dismantled and have their parts shipped to various corners of the world.

I dont mind donating them to needy homes but who would want a 10 year old fridge?? 

It's not my nature to waste.  The new washing machines we saw come with a 11 year warranty on their parts!!!  It just shows that these Korean stuff are really durable!  It would be sinful to purchase a new equipment just because the current one is an out-dated model or simply old looking??

Well, I guess... no harm having a see - look..., no point telling myself to wait another 5 years. Five years later, if they are still in good condition... then... what? When the time comes for replacement, it's the time when the appliances they broke down by themselves.

My good old made in KOREA - LG fridge.

One of the many magnet stains.

My made in KOREA - LG washing machine.

In matching color to my fridge

No more plastic drum for new washing machines.  

But at least I dont get cuts on those stainless steel drums.

Really 3 steps - ON main electrical switch, press the the purple power button then the pink start button.

50 mins later - load done!!

It's been more than 2 years since the shift... let's continue to wait...
