Like a Sunday morning ritual, I was heading to the washing bay at the multi-storey carpark next to my block to do my regular car wash. As I step closer to the water dispensing unit, I could feel that the ground was not even, as though there were pieces of stones on it. Looking down, I realized that the cement ground has disintegrated and debris was abundant.

 

Perhaps, the constant dampness of the washing bay has resulted in the above situation over the long run. In the part of the washing bay further away from the water dispensing unit, crack lines have formed on the ground, as though a mild earthquake has taken place. The toilets in most households are laid with ceramic tiles. Toilet is a place which is constant damp as well, and the tiles in my house

Your washing bay looks comparatively good! Mine is black black with algae and flooded to 2-3 cm high cos the drainage is choked.

Not a good idea at all. Well meaning and half-baked at best.

Ceramic tiles will not bear the load. The tiles in your bathroom do not experience 1000+ KG of weight on them that's why they can last 20 years. You need juz one car with a small rock stuck between the threads with an end pointing out to crack the tiles.

Or even just one slightly improperly laid tile to crack and in turn affect the rest.

Not to mention it'll be slippery.

These ceramic tiles are super slippery when wet. How I wish those ceramic tiles below my HDB block walkways are hacked to give way for full cement floor. Perhaps, you can take those tiles and lay at your carpark washing bay. [laugh]

  • Manchester United's "promising" transfer window should be taken with a pinch of salt

    Having followed this club for more than 20 years, I'm well aware that a promising transfer window does not directly equate to an improved season. Forwards Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, as well as Diego Leon, the young Paraguayan wing-back, have been Manchester United's signings for the 2025 summer transfer window so far. On paper, this team should have no problem challenging for silverware. On the pitch, the current crop of players finished 15th last season. While both Cunha and Mbeumo ha

    Japan is weird. I love it (Part 9)

    You know when you go to a mamak shop or Good Price and see those brightly coloured plastic toy 'instruments' that you would buy for kids to bang away on? Well, someone (Japanese, of course) had the idea to basically turn that into an actual musical instrument.  I present you: The Otamatone.  The Otamatone originated in Japan in 1998, thanks to the creative minds at CUBE Works and Maywa Denki. This playful music instrument boasts a quirky, note-inspired design that has captured the imag

    The enduring charm of Singapore wet markets

    I know I’m idealising it all - as a not-so-young millennial that can’t remember the last time he cooked a full meal for himself. (That was probably a good two years ago.) But moving on slightly from morning walks now, the space I’ve found myself frequenting when I feel like I need a break from the routines of everyday life (or to simply clear my head) isn’t the park. It’s the basement level of Punggol Plaza. That a wet market even exists here should be surprising. Punggol, after all, is qui

    In life, there is no pleasure without pain

    Before anything else, let me assure you that this is not about BDSM (bondage, discipline, sadism, masochism). Like many of my posts, this is an observation about life. More specifically, the duality of pain and pleasure that exists within it. Let's consider the analogy of light and dark: A room seems bright because the darkness subdued. Yet without the presence of darkness, how do we perceive the brightness of the light? Similarly, we cannot savour the sweetness of pleasure without the
