SINGAPORE is one of most expensive cities to live in. Obviously, migrant workers who earn relatively less wages can't afford to rent the whole flat. Thus we have to rent a room or flat and share with others. As we have no experience in sharing a place back home, there are some social problem arisen inevitably. In order to reduce rental fees, we have to share a room with others. It depend on owner, but one room accommodate at least two heads. Some economic tenants even have to stay as compact as 4 heads per room. In such case, those tenant has to sleep on double deck bed. Just imagine the flat has 3 rooms and each room has two person. There would be total 9 person has to share whole flat at least. However, the facility is sometime not enough to provide tenants, particularly in peak hours such as early morning and evening.
We have to survive in the hectic life both in work and home. Our work is already stressful and it's a little bit beyond tolerance when we have to face some pressure at home. More or less, we can't avoid some form of pressure. Some from flat owner, some from flat leading occupier, some from flatmates, some from roommates, some from neighbor, some from bad hygiene, some from noisy environment, some from inconsiderate people who never think of others' feeling. Luckily, I could able to avoid roommate problem as my wife and I rent entire room. But we notice the plight of our neighbor room anchor tenant. He arrived the current flat earlier than us. Since he is a single man whose family is left home, he has to share a room to reduce rental price. He is not lucky with the incoming roommate. He is not a leading flat occupier and he has no choice roommate when new come in. As a place is worth about S$ 400 a month, no flat owner wants to see vacant any bed. Sometime, he reveals his bad experience with other roommate and I learn from it. As my wife and I are trying to rent an entire flat, we should know such experience. In fact, we are indispensable to each other as we still have to share some facilities such as common toilet, kitchen, living room, washing machine, dryer, etc.
