my house juz had a house meeting about heating issues.. apparently, the heating system in my house works in this way: it will only turned on 2 times a day for a fixed number of hours.. in another word, it is on only during certain time-frames of a day.. so it was and had been on from 8pm to 11pm & 6.30am to 8am everyday.. and people are complaining that this isn't enough and the house is far too cold.. hmmm..
well, it's not always a problem for me cos my room warms up easily when the heater is on and is kept warm for a relatively sufficient time after the heater is off (i.e. residual heat).. and in any case, i usually have my comforter to keep me warm.. thanks to jonathan who told me to bring my comforter here.. hee..
ok, tat was kinda side-tracked.. anyway, someone suggested that the timing be changed because she doesn't wake up so early in the morning and it's bad to wake up in the cold.. hmmm.. *thinking* if one wakes up after 8am, i guessed that would be fairly warm already! why do u still want the heater on?!? hmmm.. oh well.. unless of cos it's a rainy day.. or hailing day? hee.. and someone suggested that the heater be on in the afternoon when most people study.. but hmmm.. that's hardly the case.. i hardly see people in the house in the afternoon? all hiding in the room studying? hmmm.. i have no idea.. it's kinda dumm to want the heater on in the afternoon cos that's the time u are most active (well, i assume) and u wun die of cold.. imagine the night without the heater.. u will die.. i still remember my first night in my house.. my room's heater was not on and i din noe about it and had no idea how to switch it on.. and know what? i slept in the cold for the whole night and woke up with 2 painful ears.. that was horrible.. my ears then hurt like they had frost bites.. ouch.. i would never want a night with no heating.. i will die..
anyway, the kinda short-term solution was to keep the heater on for an extended period of time - 7.30pm to 11pm & 6.30am to 9am.. well, i love this.. the more heat the better.. as long as it doesn't incur much on the house budget.. i dun want to pay extra..
oh well.. i never had cold weather in singapore before to want some heating.. people in singapore hardly survive without the air-con.. what a contradiction.. well, i guess it's a give and take.. like it or not, the weather here can be so good that you felt like u have the warmth of the sun and the coolness of the breeze.. that's the best time to sun-bathe in the memorial glade in cal.. but i'm allergic to grass, sickening.. maybe when the spring comes in full-bloom, i will bring one big towel, sit on it and indulge myself in the sun.. hee.. but i guess it's not that bad to have the sun all year round.. you will never feel like you are going to die in the cold.. hee.. and you can easily wear lesser to keep cool.. but here, when you are cold, u can hardly keep your whole body warm, no matter how much you wear.. it's just never enough..
ok, enough of all these crap.. i shall go and study a little before i panick about my sh**y linear algebra mid-term tmr..
