utility fees...

went to a CCA leaders meeting v principal v vp..
besides discussing problem tt other cca face, vp also told us abt how sch divide the pie-- 1.1 million a year for our sch
i was shocked when i c utility bills actually contributed 15% of the fund..
after a few seconds, i tot it was reasonable
singapore s a tropical country, but i hav to bring jacket to sch when i hv lectures
often, i m freezed in lecture theatres n auditorium.. argh.. so ironic right? the weather outside s so hot!! n i wonder y we cant adjust the temperature of the air conditioning in auditorium..
this s really weird.. many ppl wud rather b freezed than to adjust the temperature
take hostel as example, i know many ppl r feeling cold during assembly
n i actually caught cold several time b4 i cud switch off some air-cons..
now b4 assembl i will switch 2 air con off, n the temperature s jz nice! ( i dunno y i can adjust temperature)
PM Lee said one of the best invention last decade (o century? i forgot..haha) s air conditioning
well.. no doubt air conditioning s important for singapore, but pls use them wisely, too create a more condusive environment n not to add on burden.. lower utility bills!!

btw i dunno y i hav air con in my room. I dun demand for it n i can live happily without it
i hv to pay 20 dollar a month for it n get frozen..
no demand, jz create the supply n impose rules n regulation to force ppl to accept "merit goods"
merit goods-- goods tt r deemed by gov to b beneficial-- oic.. hostel s jz following wat our leaders said..

ya, that's what happened to me last time, it was soooo perfect for me to sleep. I almost sleep in lecture everyday. SO fun!!!

In my room also, william wants aircon so i switched it on, but then the air con faced directly on me, so horrible you know. Then at night cool until cannot tahan. Everytime i force william to sleep on my bed instead of his but got rejected.

No choice la, signapore needs aircon!!! it takes 5 workings day to process the application (quoted from "just follow law")

Paiseh, have to point out something. Suddenly feel like I influented by THM.

The PM Lee that you talked about is actually the current MM Lee. He said that before Singapore's independent. At that time, he planned to air-conditioned the whole nation. However, lucky he failed to do that. Really lucky to us.
