Yeah, I e-mailed the property management firm that our townhome association contracts with; apparently, they've been swamped with calls about leaking roofs in other properties that they manage, so it might be a while before they can send a repair crew over to fix the numerous leaking roofs in our property.Originally posted by littlestream:Oh, sorry to hear that. Yikes, can complain to developer? Do you have a management that looks after that?
Ah, the joys of townhome living...

Whaaaat flying trip??? Blardy weather has been uncooperative. Windy and overcast last weekend, and now windy and rainy.Originally posted by littlestream:Hmm.........MG.......reminds me of my neighbouring atap houses in the 60s.

We have the club's Cessna 152 blocked for this Saturday morning; hopefully, the weather will be more amenable then. The colours are peaking right now, and if we don't catch them from the air this weekend, we might just have to settle for pictures taken from the ground.
You are being extremely evil, tempting me with Kai Fan like that!

Oh, that's too bad. But you are giving it another go this weekend, right? Have fun then.
kekeke........not evil lah, trying to get you to dispense your US$ here mah. -

wats auroras?Originally posted by Fatum:those in the northern hemisphere ... time to break out the toques and gloves .... winter is definitely coming .........
those living in the far up enough in the clear icy north .... start looking out for auroras ! ....

Auroras are the famed Northern Lights ! .... they are beautiful ....Originally posted by shinta:wats auroras?
in the northern hemisphere it's known as Aurora Borealis .... in the south it's known as Aurora Australis .....
On a cold clear winter night, auroras can sometimes be seen right in the city where i am .... I'd trot down to the river that bisects the city and just stand there staring at the night sky .....
Winter is bearing down fast .... I'll see if i can get some pictures this year and post it up ! ...
(Tip: Watching auroras should not be a group activity .... but a couple thingy ..... though i've always watched it alone ... ) -
Wah, Fatum, so well written.
I've not seen or gone to see one although friends have gathered to go for one. Okay, now I know. Don't go in a group. -
yeah .... go with hubby and see ... even if you don't see any auroras, a cold crisp night out under the stars and the silence would be so romantic eh ....Originally posted by littlestream:Wah, Fatum, so well written.
