Did You Ever Know That?!
I made a major discovery today, while I was accounting my saga of the aircon condenser to the BBs at work.
I filed a complaint to HDB, against the neighbour directly upstairs, at the topmost level. Their aircon condenser has been dripping water onto ours, making very loud "dak dak dak dak" noises for a long time now, almost since the day we moved in.
Why haven't we done anything about it till now, you may ask. Well, we did try to tell them initially, when I was very disturbed by it. The splashing water droplets not only make very loud noises especially at night, they also wet my window. We went upstairs to "confront" them first. It was a Malay family, so they couldn't understand what we were saying. Or maybe they were pretending?? We had a hard time describing it by pointing here and there.
No improvement thereafter.
We went up a few times subsequently, but they never opened their door again. So we had to resort to writing "nasty" letters. We tried to drop them into their letterbox, but the flap to their letterbox was always shut tightly. How does the postman ever get letters to them, I wonder?!
It was then, the BBs said, "But the postman puts the letters into your mailbox from behind what. The front flap is usually locked to prevent spam mail."
G-A-S-P! I never knew that! And always, I was wondering why there is a lock to the flap. The Boy, in his explanation, said that maybe because locking the flap would keep lizards out. Right.
So there, we just discovered the fact that we CAN reduce the amount of junk mail and leaflets in our mail lor!!! After all these while can!!!!

eh, auntie, i don't live in HDB but i know that you can lock the mailbox - a feature i wish i had now! haha :) the lizards explanation was funny though.
Eh, I nvr really notice my letterbox but its still filled with junkmail anyway!
hahahahahah.... this is really funny about the lockable flap... can I nominate you for 'Most likely to have a blonde moment' in FB?
anyway, about that upstairs neighbour, do get HDB to look into it... stating psychological stress due to insufficient and disturbed night rest as result :)
beanbean > it's a darn cool gadget that HDB is so smart to come up with lor!
By the way, I went to lock the flap this morning.
*BEAMS*
But you get junk mail too? How would your security allow them to get past?
lilsnooze > Faster go check whether got lockable flap!! Once again, I need to say, HDB is damn smart.
shutterbug > OOI!!!! Very blonde meh?! They never put that down in the HDB handbook when we collected the keys what! =p
Wah, your reasoning quite creative hor, haha! They quite on the ball, went over to check this morning already.
Come to think of it, it did cause quite a bit of psychological stress whenever I think of how stained my window was getting! =p
