  What about facing? You are no longer in the basic level. My father used to tell me to check the facing? If the house is facing west (you get the afternoon heat, so house will be hot and uncomfortable during bedtime). In Australia, it depends on which rooms get the afternoon sun. I tried to grow a lemon 🍋 tree to cut down the afternoon sun for that particular room, alas the tree didn’t grow (after many years, remains dwarf size when it is supposed to be full size!) I bought another dwarf cherry 🍒 tree at the same time but I got a full grown tree instead [Facepalm][Spurting].

    Ya, I think still relevant for Muthu, especially during morning rush or when stuck in the jam 🚗
    Just on 987, sometimes switch to 93.3 or 97.2 also — music + DJ talk, traffic updates, people calling in to rant also quite shiok 😄 No need to think what to play.

    FM98.7?! Thought that’s for my dad generation? [Tongue] Used to be FM93.3 but it’s too noisy for me now. Think FM97.2 might be more appropriate now?

    It’s a regular on FM 98.7’s playlist. Some songs never go out of style, like Majulah Singapura. [Happy] [Grin]

    I like the singer… but she’s my time… amazing young lady like you knows the song!

    There’s apparently a lot of knowledge into growing a good lemon tree. I heard it is easy to grow lemon trees (that’s why I am disappointed mine didn’t grow), but to get juicy lemons, it’s not straightforward. Many people gave me lemons 🍋 from their gardens, the quality really varied… a lot! I think I need to get mine right. It has been 4-5 years! I should have done something instead of just wait… it just sprouts green leaves 🍃 whole year round so it’s healthy looking little plant. It just doesn’t grow in height! Will need to ask the gardening company that sold me the trees! There must be some fertiliser I can add (yup, I heard lemons being acidic don’t like certain nutrients)! Otherwise I should just abandon it and grow a new one??

  In short, that room is still hot during summer, luckily it’s just nice for winter

    We are living in 2 houses now!? Hahahaha...
  • Shernice軒嬣 2000: 
    I think we need 2 houses for summer and winter usage.

    Yup 😄 In SG, north or south facing doesn’t matter much 🌞 Both get about the same sun most of the time.
    Location, Direction, Layout matters in SG.
  • Ah_Meng: 
    Actually I think it also depends on the country we reside in. Northern hemisphere, south facing should see more sun while southern hemisphere would see more sun in north facing, right? [Thinking] Singapore in equator should be equal north or south facing??
