For those who live in multi-storey dwellings...
-
... whereby "multi-storey dwellings" refers to houses (excluding bungalows), maisonettes and any other types of multi-storey housing my swakoo-brain may have missed out, excluding HDB flats and condominiums.
Does your home have intercom?
If your home does not have intercom, how do you communicate with the people upstairs, specifically when it's mealtime and when there is a phone call for someone?
Err, my family used to yell. And I think they still do. I either SMS/call that person on his/her mobile phone or walk all the way (*pant pant!*) upstairs.Or if there's a phone call, sometimes I will just ask the caller to call the mobile phone instead.
Then mealtimes how? Do you expect people to come down automatically when it's time, or do you go around notifying everyone when lunch/dinner has been cooked?
-
Got intercom, but I prefer the shouting method.
duno leh. easier, just shout acrossWhatever it is, there will always have people walking up all the way to inform us, i dont do that tho
-
ring the dinner bell...?
-
install an intercom la ..
easier..
-
isnt dinnertime fixed?
-
my folks yell ....
and I'd yell back ...
-
i think yelling is the way to go....
-
my mum will shout "who wan to eat lunch ownself come down"...
-
phone call - every room got a phone
dinner - fixed
i seriously doubt u can yell from 1 end to an other in a mansion
-

-
not everyone is an ASK
-
but we don't have so much use for an intercom to justify installing one... =|
dinnerbell ah...room doors all closed how to hear?
i don't like to yell loh. I think it's very chor lor and aiya i just don't like people yelling
what is ASK?
-
everyone yells in my house
-
-
okay okay then mealtime how?
Assuming there's no fixed time for dinner... sometimes dinner is ready at 6, sometimes 7... do you all gather everyone to eat dinner at the same time or OTOT?
-
actually, come to think about it, when i lived in a flat, we used to yell too...
"COME EAT DINNER!!!"
or
"OI!!! SIS!!! YOUR TELEPHONE CALL!!!"
-
don't be afraid of a certain level of noise bah .....
a house must have 人气, it's depressing if a house, any house, is quiet like a tomb ....

dinnertimes will depend on whether your family usually eat together, or OTOT ..
For us .. my parents would like whoever's home to sit down and eat together .. that's family bonding time for us ..

i always yell like hell then hor my brother listen to ear phone -_-
waste my efforts..
so now i call. him when the food is ready

When one is hungry, one walks down to have a meal.
Call/SMS on the HP is also possible.
My husband wanted to get a walkie talkie but its not necessary ....
HDB houses are not that big like those houses with 100 rooms. so just a shout will do.
Mostly, we work and don't have meals together. I rather not eat at home as well.
-
shout lor. always like that de.
-
Yeah, my house is very quiet and depressing. =| Now there's just my mom and I most of the time... but my uncle has moved in for a while! Maybe I will try yelling a bit... hehehehe.
The echo at the staircase makes me go
. -
fun to shout lah. then if no answer can run up and down. good exercise =p
-
We yell or we call the phone upstairs
-
When i was living at my dad's house, I will always ask the maid to go up and call
