single42 Posted June 29 Report Share Posted June 29 smoking only. tolerate for 10mins, everything will be back to normal. I am staying on the top floor; I am also the sort that leave my windows open every day as I prefer fresh air. so, one day, I smelled someone smoking and it couldn't be my housemates as most of them don't smoke & only the Malaysian Chinese couple opposite my room (occupying the master room) smoke but they do it downstairs at the open-air carpark next to their motorbike only when they are leaving for work. So, I approached my immediate next-door neighbor to let them know that someone is smoking within their unit in the morning. So, I gave them time to go find out the joker was. And when I got home from work, they told me they already warn whoever was smoking to do it downstairs at the void deck area, true enough, I see one chap smoking at the stairwell next to my neighbor's unit occasionally at night. I also realized they had more than 10 persons staying in that exec masionette unit and most of them are foreign workers. so, I decided to keep quiet abt it. I just hoped that one day, HDB come in for a spot check, all I will say its, good luck to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ever received a letter from the NEA, which they also mail to every home in an effort to discourage smoking after receiving a complaint. The NEA once asked me whether I knew of anyone who was smoking close by. I really like to have those letters, but I prefer to complain directly instead.

No leh, they can smoke a dozen sticks within the same day. How many 10 minutes can you spare within a day? You obviously don't understand the addiction of smoking.

All I can say is, since my feedback to my immediate neighbor, seems like the cigarette smell have stop coming into my room. perhaps that guy quitted / shifted out. That was months ago too.

Guest Water Splasher Posted June 30 Report Share Posted June 30 56 minutes ago, TigerYam said: Yes. Because of the wind and air circulation. The smaller the size of your flat, the more likely you get full blown smoke into the house, not to mention nowadays BTO flats are so close to each other. Best is to keep the fan of your house running in full power 24/7 if you encounter smoking neighbours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepresentfitness Posted July 1 Report Share Posted July 1 For those interested in 2 Room BTO, i have listed some pros and cons of living in it (see video link below).

With all kinds of virus going around, disinfecting ourselves near to the doorstep will be very convenient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the showrooms I've visited, the space is so tiny. I think depends on developers. Some you can fit in a bed, others cannot. My personal choice is still HDB. Just curious, for those BTOs, do you use those ceiling affixed indoor clothes rack to dry laundry? Your home looks very nice at night.

You cannot anyhow alter the decor or structure without strict authority approval. The owner will have to work around the existing features without overdoing it. The downside is, no lift, not suitable if you are mobility challenged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The downside is, no lift, not suitable if you are mobility challenged. It would be good to buy a place where you don't have to make structural changes or hack flooring. Because those old flooring are extinct. And unique too. Just painting , re wiring, new sanitary ware and furniture. I also like loose furniture. You can play around and change later. But I don't think people with mobility issues will buy that place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thickhead79 Posted July 8 Report Share Posted July 8 SINGAPORE – The number of million-dollar resale Housing Board flats hit an all-time high in June, nearing 100 units, while resale prices clocked record gains. Flash estimates from SRX and 99.co released on July 8 showed that HDB resale prices jumped 1.8 per cent in June, extending gains for the ninth straight month. Resale prices rose across all room types and in both mature and non-mature estates from the previous month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
