Teck, i know that you plan to expand the 2 bed rooms by removing the aircon ledge, i am thinking of doing the same too (when the house is ready), so where are u going to install your aircon? are u not using split unit aircon?
P/S: sorry, after reading your post again seems like you will be using single unit aircon, how's single vs split unit? i always thought split unit is better....? coz the single ones are old model?
Space is a constraint in high rise living, you usually have place to mount only one multi-split system compressor unit. The con is that if it fails, you will be without air-conditioning for the whole condo/apartment. That's why Malaysians living in landed properties can afford to fix/mount multiple compressor units. If one fails just replace that unit.
Thanks, really busy, got very sick and then so many things happened recently, really was out of action.
Most of the aircon units you will see people using in MY are all single unit aircons and each has its own
compressor mounted externall. Some find it ugly and put in additional costs to group all the compressor
units together.
Yep, I think bros Wuqi and Toyo have explained it. When you say single, I think you are referring to those very old kind, the stick in a hole in the wall kind? Just to be sure, the ones we are talking about are 'normal' aircons, just that every blower has its own 'engine' so to speak. Easy to maintain, problems easy to isolate, and like Toyo said, one spoil just chuck and change. Split systems (1 condenser for 2,3 or 4 blowers) I find can be problematic. Like everything else, the more complicated it is, the more likely it can go wrong.
In Singapore I had to use a system 4 because HDB very generously allowed me to have only one compressor.
Why is the fees so expensive @ 100 K pa for these secondary / colleage courses ? Are those neighbour hood school so lacking in qualities that people willing to pay 100K p.a to send their kids there ?
If it is a university , I can understand because our Sinking universities dont have enough places for his own Singaporean citizens. Any bros /sis can enlighten me ?
The fees on par with Singapore international schools. I think a lot of the students there will be children of high level expats working there, or similar capacity in Singapore who have moved there to live, or planning to do so. Or maybe even stay in Singapore while their children study there, which is why Marlborough College working so hard to allow students to travel there from Singapore without needing to carry passports or step out of very comfortable coaches. Being the interest of mostly very rich ang mos, quite possibly our government will bend over backwards to make it happen.
Rest of us regular travellers continue to be screwed when it comes to border crossing.
Singapore international schools, like Singapore itself also over crowded like hell, a lot of these expats cannot even get places for their children also, that's why they may consider Johor. This must have been a calculation by Marlborough when choosing to move there.
And a lot of these expats know they also won't be stationed in Singapore/Johor for long, so they may want to send their children to a more western-style education so their children can adapt more easily when they go back.
Or as Arsenal said, some just want their children to hang out with children from only the same kind of background.
But most importantly, school fees also not they pay one, company pay, so take lor!
