For the 75% of Singaporeans that live in public housing, water pressure must've been one of the banes of every day routine. Taking a shower this morning, I realised that once the washing machine is chugging water in, my nice lovely stream of water become barely a trickle.
There I was halfway through rinsing shampoo off my head and there issn't enough water for me to do anything much less get the shampoo off. There's nothing you can do as well cause there are "standard diameter pipes" that you have to install...I guess otherwise, you'll deprive your neighbours of any showering experiences. HAHA!
Just heading to the loo and doing the big business before showering can be quite exasperating as well. Imagine after flushing the goods down the bowl, it takes another 5 minutes before the cistern fills up and water starts getting redirected back to the shower head. And if you've got skid marks in the bowl that requires additional flushing, you won't be taking a shower for the next 10 minutes at least.
Well..that's one of the daily banes that us public housing dwellers have to go through. At least the lifts are bearable now.
