Water, the gift of nature

For those who is currently living in Singapore, we knew that our current source of water is

1: Buying from Malaysia at a cheap price and sell it back to them at a couple of times more.
2: A NEW Water project started a few year back and we called it shit water.
3: Producing distilled water from seawater (since we are surrounded by sea) which cost like super ex.
4: Storing the water in as many reservoir as we can. (The reservoir number is Singapore is still increasing)

We are famous for our clean water and we can drink from the tap directly without any filter.

Guess what?

I heard the same thing from the Australian driver that were fetch me at the airport. He told us that we can drink directly from the tap and i believed him.

That is until my hsemate showed us the towel that we wrap around the tap to sort of filter the water. It is brown like mud!!!

Yes, don't doubt me. It is really brown like mud and we often find black sediment at the bottom of the bottle after one night. That is when i begin to appreciate the water in Singapore since i am going to live here like for 1 year.

Another thing that amazed me is that they have a 4 min shower campaign around Queensland as everyone should know that Australia is going through the worst drought in the last 10 year. i din manage to shower in 4 min but i have tried to shower as fast as i could.

I am starting to think that maybe the Australian govt should try out the policy make in Singapore to store the water, than maybe the water will not run out so fast.

That all for the day, got to go for lecture.
See ya again!
