  One thing I dislike about HDB is the state of the common areas... the lifts, the dumping of trash in landings... otherwise I don't have any difficulties adapting to HDB life.

  reminds me of this scene from The West Wing
  
  Lord John Malbury (special embassadar): Margaret(Leo's secretary) is looking positively buxom today. Tell her that for me please
  
  Leo(white house chief of staff):I'm not going to tell her that
  
  Margaret(who already heard): Thank you lord malbery!
  
  Lord John Malbury: Ah, yes! Well done!!!

  He told me once, the condo sent a letter to everyone. That swimming pool was closed for a week.
  
  Someone crapped in it.
  
  They dried up the pool, and hired external cleaners to cleaned it up.
  
  Must be some kid again he says.
