    bought anything from sitex? freaking lot of ppl in the morning....

    Yea bought a lexmark wireless printer...got quite a lot of freebies including speaker and wireless headphone...but the salesman's attitude pissed us off...he didn't seem to know what he is selling...in the end my hubby seems to know more than him...

    Worst is he gave us printing ink wich is not compatible with our printer...so now my hubby had to go back there again tomorrow morning to exchange...dunno why nowadays the sales people getting more and more bo chap... :curse::bangwall:

    IMHO i feel that Ho Bee must reimburse you the $80, cos since you paid them to do their job, they should do it with professionalism moreover you did asked them to come round the 2nd time and yet fail to rectify the problem right ?

    they're the expert not you so they cant blame home owners about not knowing this kind of stuff. Imagine if home owners knows plumbing, they will be out of job real soon

    Yea...didn't hear anything from them since yesterday so this morning I gave Mrs Quek a call and she said she has not feedback this issue to her husband yet. Said will inform me asap once they reach a decision...

    I also feel that they should bear the losses cos I even asked her twice whether it is confirmed the tap problem and they were very sure it is...think the plumber didn't even bother to check properly...

    good move by our govt i must say :P cos going forward, how e economy will be in 2010 is really a million $$ question.

    if u think its going to be up, it may fall n crash on u. if u r pessimistic (which our govt cannot do that), then it'll be lagi

    worse. dun forget, US job loss is still in double digits. how will this thanks-giving gonna be + e run up to Xmas will be

    a crucial time to determine e fate of e world's economy.

    true true...just a bit disappointed la...cos a few days before they broadcast that the economy is improving so expected more...but only got 0.25 mth...the year before I joined the civil service it was 2.5 mth lor, ever since I joined seems like the bonus amt kept going down...

    was told by my contractor that its common to have this cracks on buuild up walls, but after rectifying should not appear at the same place.....

    wanted to go there yesterday but....traffic very the jam....you also in the civil service? teaching? my hubby in air force...he also very the sianz....coz just 2 days back tell me got inside news that bonus 2.25 with pay will be 3.25....

    i ask him to get his source to cough out that 1....lol

    yea I am in teaching...my fren also said got insider's news said bonus is 2.5 mths...together with pay will be 3.5 mths...then she said it so convincingly so I went on a shopping spree after that...lucky didn't buy that much...

    ermm .... but any note written together with the tap ? Or does all the tap come with the washer ?

    Actually I feel that hoe bee plumber not at fault for not taking out the washer at the 1st attempt. But hor , it's their faulty to blame it to the tap without even to verify further . If they dismantle the tap on the 2nd visit , they might have already found the root cause of the problem.

    Yea lor...he was very sure that the tap was faulty. I even called them back to confirm is it really the tap that is problematic and told them that if the tap is not faulty, i would need to pay the $80 for their fees...

    So I guess that is their fault? Now waiting for their response...

    But is it a SOP to take out the washer ? then if it's just a washer problem Y the plumber that went to check yr house 1st didn't notice it ?

    aiyo .... actually now I also blur who should be resposible for it .

    scare poh joo say they should take out the washer while ho bee say "who know should take out washer"

    yea lor I also blur. I felt really bad just now I had to call Ho Bee to claim that $80...but $80 is still money lor...

    The plumber should know need to take out cos he took out the one in the common bathroom...but somehow he left the washer in the master bathroom tap...

    Plumber just came down from Poh Joo and said the problem is because there is a washer (it's a metal plate with a small hole in the middle) placed inside the tap...wich is supposed to be taken out when they installed the tap. The funny thing is the plumber from Ho Bee took out the washer in the tap in the common bathroom but didn't do so for the one in the master bathroom. That explains why there is no sound when we turn on the tap in the common bathroom but there is the wheezing sound when we used the tap in the master bathroom.

    So now no more wheezing sound but we had to pay $80 to the plumber from Poh Joo for "taking up his time and to pay for his transportation fees". Have already informed Ho Bee about this and we would try to claim the fees from them.

    I know this thread is dormant for quite a while now. The IDs I have met all said that ceiling fan is ugly and may affect the design of the house.

    Anyone has any good ideas to install ceiling fan to incorporate it in the overall design and still can have a stunning look?

    Hmm don't think it will make the place look ugly if you plan it carefully. Both my living room and study room only have ceiling fan and we are happy with it cos 1) saves electricity 2) save environment 3) cheaper than air-cond 4) it creates a naturally airy and windy feel in the house.

    Currently using sunflower fan in the study room and V6 (both manufactured by Alpha) in the living room.

    Ugly? Judge for yourself ;)

    Thanks to all for replying,can't wait for reply and go ahead with my purchase yesterday noon.

    Bought a sunflower fan, V6 and Crestar fan.Went in shop told saleman I want Sunflower and V6,Crestar fan is anyhow buy,cos salesman spent about 10min with me got very impatient said no need to see many fans,all fans are the same,just get anyone will do.

    Feeling that my purchase add up to 1k+ only, maybe I shouldn't waste his time so just get a Crestar fan cos my mum also using one and wind very strong.Overall experience soso but I tell myself maybe i am getting a cheaper price then i felt better.

    You wun regret getting the sunflower and V6 fans! I have both in my house (in living room and study room) and they are fantastic!
