  1. Your bathroom is open concept one?????????
  2. Do you have to pay additional for the metallic sink support? Mine kept asking me to top up, say is more expensive one...blah blah blah! Must be careful not to exert too much pressure on your sink if not will break wor. I like your bathroom feature walls... very nice and daring. Hehehe.
  3. We try to "ren" his **** cuz we really need the house. Imagine leh, now already 15 December, we are getting married on 27 December, need to "An Chuang" this Sunday but all his things like not ready and falling apart like that. Really very demoralize at times. I also want him to jialiat jialiat but where got time. We will probably will look into it later. He still got the cheek to grumble and rush Hubby say why drag so long still haven't make payment. Say because haven't make payment, that's why keep finding fault with him and so ma fan, want this want that. What ever happen to after-sales service! HELLO! Do until like that HOW to make payment, he crazy lah! Luckily we haven't loh, if not he won't come down to rectify the problems now! But thank you!! Am very touched I am showered with warmth even at times like this! Very touched. Thank you thank you all!
  4. New model from Panasonic, I think the 1st inventor fridge. The salesman say until very good, also one of our shortlisted model.
  5. Bathroom Floor Tiles NIGHTMARE 12: Paid contractor to acid wash whole house. In the end, we met the washer while at the house and he told us the contractor only asked him to wash the living and 2 bedrooms. Wah. Win liao loh. If never meet washer, we will never know loh!! So Hubby called and stupid contractor change story again - Oh! For kitchen and bathrooms is different washer. I am making arrangements with the cleaners to come down again in the next few days. Then we itchy backside, go change the locks cuz since already near handover and Hubby on long leave plus we had a heated argument over the wrought iron designs (to go into details later). And guess what! His cleaners never turn up at all!! Hubby once again buay tahan him, call him after one week and ask him to come down that week whilst he's at the house to complete the outstanding works. WHAT A CHEATER!
  6. MBR Bathroom Basin NIGHTMARE 11: Not really a nightmare but I just find it funny how a PROFESSIONAL plumber can find this acceptable! This is obviously slanted loh! Luckily contractor in good mood, say will come down and take a look and ask his incompetent plumber to realign.
  7. Thank you thank you! A little too white but I am planning to decorate once I move in! I need more colors!! Hubby was saying maybe is generation gap (he's about 40-50++ like that one, uncle uncle type). But I told Hubby his character got flaws lah. Even if generation gap, if he's kind by nature, then shouldn't have such problems mah. Really hor... I don't know what to say, really give up loh. We lost our tempers alot of times liao, fought over this zillion of times but at the end of the day, it's really not worth to ruin our relationship because of him loh. To be honest, we are at his mercy. We paid him almost 80% of the whole renovation costs, trusted him too much and he knows we are in a hurry to move-in so he thinks he can anyhow anyhow and we'll give in eventually (ie: like the tiles for example). And something more shocking. Henry is going to handover the house tomorrow, but my contractor up to now also haven't handover. We are still having problems with the main door (cannot close after 10 days cuz alignment is off) and wrought iron for gate and windows (bleeding, peeling and can see visible bubbles). I also don't know when I can get him OUT of our house and lives loh!
  8. Overview of Living after Painting & Electric Works Doors Close-up of Common Bathroom Rainshower We changed from copper to metal mah, so it blends into the look and "feel". Plus bathroom too small for any carpentry works. Have already checked with Henry. Better to leave it as it is now. Will look more spacious. Yes, the warm lights are already installed! Everything was well-planned, it's just the stupid contractor lah... he wasn't in the plans. Hehehe..... Yes, we paid him $24k one shot cuz he was highly recommended by my MIL and had worked on a relative's unit before that. So we trust him loh. Who knows will like that.
  9. Aiyoh... another one. Be strong!! We must outwit, outplay and outlast these stupid contractors okay!! Cheers!
  10. I want to paint strips also but scare see long liao will dizzy. Hahaha...

  13. Error NIGHTMARE 9: This "error" was there for as long as I can remember (2 weeks I think!). And when we cannot tahan already, Hubby called and ask why the rainshower for the common not up yet, you know what the Dishonest & Smelly contractor said: "Oh, that one my plumber drill wrongly so the delay. Will replace for you loh, buy the tiles from supplier tomorrow. Then will install your rainshower. Don't worry lah, I WON'T CHEAT YOU ONE." Hahahahaha... very funny. We don't know kena cheated by him HOW many times liao loh. And if we never ask, we'll never know the holes were wrongly drilled loh!! NIGHTMARE 10: False ceiling also do wrongly. Draw is untill windows there, he fricking go extend beyond the windows (almost half of the bedroom liao like that!). Where got people do so big one! Like that the lights very hard to reflect out what! Never use brain again. If anyhow anyhow the dimensions, then give us the drawing for what! Also never follow what... eg: Say it's 10cm but do is 20cm. Got like that one meh!! Ask him rectify, still nag and nag. It's not our fault he and his workers incompetent leh.
  14. Clipsal Switches NIGHTMARE 8: This one lagi funny. We asked him when he'll be installing the switches, his reply was not so soon, only upon completion before lightings. So we told him we want to buy our own switches, he can just deduct the amount from our quotation and inform us one week in advance once he's planning to install. He said okay... Till now I also don't know why we still trust his words loh. We forgot he is TCS director. We went back to the house 2 days later and saw that the switches were all up already!! Somemore the switches not we like one loh! We called and ask him why he install without informing us. He said - Aiyah, you don't want, I take down once you bring your own switches loh. Wah, now like our fault like that. So that weekend, we quickly went down to Balestier and bought the switches for his installation. Then when Hubby talked to him about the deductions, he said only can deduct $100. Then added something I find very amusing - I should have charged you labour cost to dismantle the switches but I didn't. YOU SHOULD BE GRATEFUL. Grateful my foot lah. Who ask him itchy backside go install. I also never ask him to install what, say is the last few items to install then suddenly become so efficient ah. Luckily he auto say he won't charge us labor cost ah. If not I really wanna kick his backside.

    Wow. Even your wedding photograph also so nice one.
  17. But white a bit risky leh... I can't have floating cabinets. My dog will hide inside when I wanna beat beat him. Hehehehe... Very nice... really. I also have the tempered glass behind, but now I think yours nicer liao!! How ah like that!
  18. I meant this photo, can tell your sofa very comfy. Hahaha...
  19. Hahaha... ya I also like that think! Kudos to us lah.
  20. Ya loh!! I also don't know why we so suay, meet such a "ke wu" contractor loh! Everytime go back do site inspection, confirm will see something we don't like (didn't request him to do, but he'll do). When pick up the phone, still got the cheek to say - "What's your problem AGAIN?" AGAIN!! He thinks we like to call him meh? Eat full no **** do meh? Hehehehe... Ask Henry loh, how much times we call him only?? We leave him to do his work, as long as he can do a good job and can finish on time, any problems call us immediately to notify. The last time when they were installing the cabinets, one of the tiles broke while drilling. I also didn't ask him to compensation. Tell him just mend and as long as not visible, we okay one.. Like that very difficult to work with meh?? Stupid lah my renovation contractor. Yue talk yue angry.
  21. I also think I very good liao, first time so patient loh. Somemore you know what he say - You are the worst customers ever. I don't want to do your business already! PLEASE LOH! I think we should say that loh!! Aiyoh, give up!! We will pay loh, what to do. He did finish up the works mah.
  22. We wanted the mixer to be on the patterned tiles so it's not the contractor's fault. It's just the location of the tiles we so very hate.
  23. NIGHTMARE 4: Aircon - We called him and told him we no longer needed his guys to come down and give us a quote for the AC installation. We were given a very good quote from Best-Tech for a System 3-2 Toshiba invertor and placed a deposit immediately. He was so mad we didn't ask his guys to do it (I reckon because his commission fly away), he kept making things very very difficult for us. Told us we need the aircon guys to come down 2 times because he needs to lay the false ceiling first then the pipes can go up, then painting will take place before the aircon unit can go up. We were very sandwiched in-between as we didn't want to pay Best-Tech $80 to just come down and install the AC unit the 2nd time. Turn out, he was bluffing us cuz we heard it's a MUST to install the AC (both pipes & unit) before painting loh! Luckily we didn't listen to him, and blew $80 for something we didn't need. We had to listen to his nagging and grumblings for at least a week (seemed long enough!!). Where got like that one? I sometimes wonder who's the customers here loh. NIGHTMARE 5: MBR Bathroom Basin - This matter made us fuming mad, we wanted to terminate his service then!!! The day of AC installation, he came by for a quick site inspection (I suspect he wanted to see who's doing our AC). Then when he saw the bathroom basin was sitting out of nowhere, he asked us immediately to move it and asked us to open to check for any defects. And when we did, we found the basin broken into pieces! So contractor immediately said it's our AC guys who broke it (grumbling behind saying we anyhow ask people come and install, why not just let him do it. I sibei not happy cuz this is our renovations, we ask who do also not his problem what! Grumble and nag so much for what?) Then we confronted the AC guys, ask them if it was them who moved the basin, they said yes but not to the extend of breaking them. We then turned our attention to the smelly contractor why haven't install the basin when the bathtub and WC all are up already. So he voiced out saying his plumber say the stopper cannot work so he didn't install. BINGO! Must be the plumber lah, cuz if cannot install why now then tell us right? Common sense will tell us if cannot install, will immediately contact the owner or contractor one right? But stupid contractor kept defending his plumber loh, say cannot be. His plumber very responsible one, blah blah blah. RESPONSIBLE MY FOOT. End up we had to buy another basin for a mistake we did not commit. Hubby was so angry, he didn't wanna talk about this for days! NIGHTMARE 6: Windows - We had asked for a quote to change our windows panels for living and common, the glass panels for whole house including toilets and also wrought iron for living and common. He said $1,500 inclusive of FOC of glass panels for whole house, installation with no GST (I had asked very clearly after the painful experience). We asked him to proceed after calculating our finances. He said okay... When the windows were up, we saw only the glass panels for the living room and common bedroom were replaced but not the kitchen and MBR. We immediately called him and asked why. He said that was what was quoted. So we asked what about the FOC glass panels for the kitchen and MBR. He then raised his voice and said - I swear I didn't say FOC whole house. I only say the bathrooms I will change for you. Already so cheap, you still want FOC kitchen and MBR!! No no no, I won't change for you one. You want, top money loh. Change glass panels for kitchen and MBR, add $380. Wah, fuming mad liao loh. He kept saying we didn't tell him. It's him who didn't honor his words loh! Then bloody **** keep asking us want to change the remaining anot. I told him to go eat ****, I will ask Henry to do it. Really very dishonest. I reckon he got the windows from the supplier at a higher price, that's why in the end, tell us not FOC. MORON. NIGHTMARE 7: He bloody stopped work for about 1 week like that because of the basin. If I had not called his son, I think he would have stopped longer!
  24. Nice... Sofa must be very comfy lah. Hehehe~
  25. Corridor Door Bathtub Installation Completed Electrical Works Commerce NIGHTMARE 3: Just a few words can summarise the torture he brought us: LAST MINUTE. He think we no need work is it! Already tell him so many times if he needs anything, give us few days notice in advance. But his work style is: Tomorrow want, tonight then tell us. Told us he needs the toilet accessories to be in tomorrow cuz his people will be there to install. Then we called the hardware shop, they say cannot cuz haven't order. We were pratically begging him to let us have the stock. So in the end, the shop very nice. Say he will ask the supplier to deliver directly to our place. Thank god loh!! You say lah, stupid and angry anot. "Peanut Design" for Entertainment Room Mixer for Common Bathroom AC Installation
