Hi Chris,

I'm the resident of St Lawrence J14 and my room is scheduled to be painted on Thursday 7th December. I would really appreciate it if this could be rescheduled as I have an important politics exam coming up on the 11th and the painting would be of immense disruption to my revision. Furthermore, I have a visitor coming on that day, and I worked his visit around the fact that painting would be done next week instead of this week. Could you please arrange for a rescheduling of the painting? I do hope this is a valid enough reason. Also, could you please explain why painting is being undergone even though the walls are perfectly fine? I do think the funding for this paint job could be better used on other things. Should the paint job be but a yearly routine - would it not be prudent to assess the state of the rooms before deciding if painting is necessary? If it is really necessary then why isn't the painting undertaken during the long summer vacation where all the rooms are properly vacated? I believe a lot of inconvenience can be avoided this way.

Also, I have recently reported that the water coming out from the taps in the sink in my room - especially the cold tap - is chalky. In the whole of House J, only my taps are affected, and it would be nice if someone came to have a look at that.

Thank you for your time!

Regards,
Vanessa Lim
