DESPITE we made prior agreement for cooking allowance with extra S$10 penalty for cooking gas, we are never free whenever we are in the kitchen. We are always put under watchful eyes of Aunty and it's even better than a surveillance camera. We would be constantly checked by walking around us and being given how a curry could be done without spending much water and gas. In fact she is overly stingy on water & gas and can't even hide her temper when people are utilizing her kitchen. One month after we moved in, she asked fore another S$10 for our cooking habit by citing the way we spend water & gas won't cover she initially claim s$10. We paid S$20 without arguing as we can't afford not to cook at home. Second month, she again asked for another S$10 by citing her increased PUB bills. In fact, that month, PUB bill was up temporarily due to world's fuel rate up record high. But the media state that it'll affect about S$4.00 to 5-rooms HDB. We knew she take advantages from this news and she gain S$10 from us alone. I am sure she'll also ask other flatmates by citing the same reason.
When I went to enquire the vacant room and related terms, she explained me that tenants are allowed to use air-conditioner from 8:00pm to 6:00am the next morning. Since we both are working adults and don't like cool environment so much and didn't bother that rule. She used to give remote controller to ever room and take back at the early morning. So she is supposing to distribute just before 8:00pm at evening time and collect after 6:00am next morning. In reality, she mostly forgot to give remote controllers to room until somebody go and ask for. But wonderfully, she never failed to collect them early next morning during my stay there for almost 2 years. Her husband is a newspaper distributor and he needs to go newspaper factory 3:00am to collect paper and distribute his customers. So Aunty needs to wake up and prepare for Uncle something to drink and doing necessities. Therefore she used to wake up about 2:30am and she'ld take back all remote controllers from rooms. It's quite distracting for those who are soundly sleep that time. She don't allow every room to lock from inside so that she can collect remote controllers at morning and clean the rooms. It's quite amazing experience for you? Stay in tune for next pose. I still have something to share with you.
