How to solve this neighbour problem in Singapore HDB flats?
We are not Singaporean but living in a HDB flats.
One neighbour has habit of showering at late night 12:30-1 am
and they use cup and bowl which make the water flashing on floor too loud.
Another has 2 or 3 youngsters who go in and out of house so often and forcibly close/open the iron grilll door /wooden with very loud sound..
How to solve this problem?
Answer: Seriously, the "problems" you described are not problems at all. These are common sounds in Singapore's densely populated flats and you just have to bear with it. It is not as if they left heavy metal rock music on till 1am.
I think anyone would feel offended if their neighbours come telling them what time they should shower, how they should shower and how to shut their gates. So my advice is to bear with it and after some time you will get used to it. This is what apartment living is like.
One tip though - move to an older flat which has less noise problems because they have thicker walls/floors and higher ceilings.

Is it possible to lay cobblestones (or textured tiles) on my HDB balcony?
I will move into my HDB flat in a few months, so Im thinking about the balcony flooring. I want something unique and charming. I would LOVE to have a cobblestone balcony, but Im concerned that it will be too heavy. Also, I dont know where to start looking for stone flooring of this kind. Can anyone give me advice about the feasibility of this project or where to look for stone or textured tile? Thanks!
Answer: I have a great idea for you if your balcony is concrete. It is to acid stain the concrete slab. You can make it look like really cool marble. You can even snap chalk lines and lightly etch it with a grinder to make it look like tiles. Plus this is much more affordable. Their are several videos on youtube that teach you how to do acid staining. If the balcony is wood than this stuff is probably too heavy to lay stone on.

Why is the price of HDB is increasing so much almost every month and every year?
I couldnt think of why is HDB this time so expensive? Are we singaporeans getting richer? I dont think so as our pay never increase but the things around us is increasing. Sooner or later the price will be so high that everyone will have a hard time to buy and sleeping in the streets. Do you agree?
Answer: To know the reason why HDB flat is increasing so much, let get back to the sources. Look at the new flat launch by HDB, the prices are based on the market value less 20% :"subsidary" by the Government. Take note!!! Based on the Market Value!! The initial reason for HDB to build cheap public housing that everyone can afford no long exist. Beside that, Singapore Government are expecting a total population of 6 million, which meant about 50% foreigners will be living in Singapore. With the limited land, how can one expect the housing be cheap?
