I stay in an old hdb. So, here's the thing - whenever I go home late - like 10+pm, I can see cockroaches beside the drains. Just be the first glance the one or two drains have more than 10 cockroaches. Even on shaded corridors with lights on you can see racing cockroaches, clearly not afraid of human. I guess that's the reason some of the first floor families have cats.

Is this a normal thing in old hdb? Or can I report to some institute for pest control?

Ps. I really really cannot tahan these creatures. Not even with them within my eyesight.

Thanks for that.
2.5 hours in total. I guess if start work at 8.30am then will be worse traffic? And have to suffer the jam with vehicles exhaust fumes compare to those crossing in cars with aircon.
Tough life.

Hey, guys. I would like to look for a room at the region within walking distance of Boon Lay MRT. I had search through online website as well as relevant fb page, however I did not receive any response yet.

Hence, I wonder is it Boon Lay region has less housing area compared to Jurong east (which I saw a lot of advertisement) ? May anyone clarify me on this ? Thank you.

I will be working in Singapore,  trying to find what's the cheap way reasonable travel time to travel sin kl sin weekly weekend Fri eve sun night. All experienced seniors, could you share what's your best advice?

My advice -- relocate your family to SG, or worst case JB/Johor West. Frankly I don't know a single person who work in SG who can tahan long term every single weekend travel back to KL.

very sure that even in the morning have fighter plane. i even measured the dB in the place i almost rented:
13th floor (3mins walk from boon lay MRT) ~85dB...(to give a a visualisation, normal background is ~40dB, near air asia jet engine is 66 dB...and fighter plane flying past is 85dB)...on ground floor noise is around 60dB plus...frequency i stood there 30 mins, 9-9:30am...every 4-5 mins will hear once...when i viewed the unit first time, in the afternoon of previous day 40 mins, ~ 2 times...so now i have to go SG again to find houses in bukit batok & phua chu kang oops i meant chao chu kang. Was wondering if anyone stayed before in BB & CCK? Mind sharing experience i.e is it safe and any problems? thanks for sharing your view SG2016, appreciate it!:)

If I'm taking mrt from Mountbatten to Serangoon during morning rush hour and I need to reach at 8.30am, what time I should be going out?
