I was in the toilet going about my usual "business".
I saw the tap that was installed in my hall toilet and I thought how lousy the UK taps are.
Most of them don't even have the hot/cold water mixing function. As in the basin has 2 taps. 1 for hot water and the other for cold water. That's so unfriendly. Sometimes the hot water's too hot. But if you use the cold water tap, it's WAY too cold.
Even though my hall has those adjustable temperatur taps (I will call them ATTs), it's still not as good as those in Singapore. Here you only get to adjust the temperature. And the water pressure is miserable. On top of that, some of the ATTs don't even have a stable temperature (like those in the kitchen). You can actually feel the temperature oscillate periodically between that of the hot water and cold water.
Unbelievable.
I was lamenting the inferior quality of ATTs in such a developed country when I realised that I was being quite unreasonably fussy, especially for a person who went through NS. So "Singaporean", as many people would put it. Or is it?
Just as I was celebrating this "revelation" and feeling happy that I have uncovered "yet another important and seldom seen" fact of life/Singaporeans. Something else struck me even more.
Back in Singapore, I didn't have to worry about ATTs. Did I?
Think about it....
(I'm not just talking about how comfortable the Singaporean lifestyle is.)
