Sorry anybody knows or use this carpenter by the name of Ah Liu recommended by Ah Soon before? I've heard that another owner in CCK is also engaging this carpenter but I don't know who it is. Because if I were to engage him, I've got to pay a deposit of 40% of the total sum of the carpentry that is to be done. And I don't think its wise to do that after all the crazy things that have happened. Anybody got views/ knowledge or experience please kindly share with me? Please PM me if its not convenient. Thank you so much. :D

U have moved on but they are a lot of other owners waiting for rectifications or touch up of tiles..whatever the tiler can do their

exposure will be lower ( be it small or big) btw we spoke to the tiler..he was paid (how much i dun know) but he did finished

all my rectifications with good workmanship.i dun speculate i just present the actual situation that i encountered..if u think i will get

karma then be it

The aim is to limit exposure (meaning no more money given but have work done) with Ah Soon not to promote pple to continue with him

pang pang, well said! no one will work for free that is for sure...

anyway a couple of workers i have talk to, have been working with ah soon for 10 over years, even some staff at the tileshop i have spoken to, also claimed to have work with ah soon for 10 over years, all said AH SOON never have this money issue before... i don't think they have the need to lie to me.. if 1 person tell me, i may not believe, but it is many many people telling me this...

all i can say is, every business got it's ups n downs... there are many good examples that quite big companines also closed down overnight and customers get back $0. the moment we choose to believe ah soon, we are taking a risk. fact is, whoever we choose, there's always a risk....

I already move on...and my 8ksgd deposit to ah soon has vaporized to nothing since my jobs have not done for more than 3 months....I haf been low profile, scrimping here and there just to benefit Ah soon...

Anyway, I have move forward and carry on with my reno with other contractor. Personally, I find seashell attempt to gather ppl together to do reno together is seriously flaw and silly. Its better one who go for their own ousttanding job....dun wanna get into some argument in the end....then ended up as enemies....no hard feeling...but i find we all shld be responsible for our mistakes in believing Ah soon....

Evil aside....i hope those things done by ah soon and ah supporters will get karma....period.

u say u paid 8K...u have any receipt anot? no hard feelings .. but u suddenly pop up and say this, we wonder what's your motive?

gathering together to ask for a quote is to hope to get more savings... jus like the theory of buying things in bulk. i dun think i m silly.............

besides dun care who recommeded ah soon to us, we did not point finger at the recommender when things goes wrong... ah soon was once good before... we never turn into enemies .... we are understanding and civilised people...

anyway, what goes around comes around...

Hi Renotok, wind78, trevo

I think we are here to help them all sooner victim by giving them solution or lend them a listening ear. No pts shooting each other. Sooner supporter also all disappeared. Like previously when I post ah soon quote, got 1 joker post said he save 10k compare to all ID firm blah blah blah...... and I also kana left and right . I believe he jus lucky to get away with it. Can't imagine if he start to reno now was in this **** now. I dun wan to mention who is it.

Bro Renotok hope u can understand the members who are ah soon's prey are very stress now. Let give them some space to move ard and breathe.. Maybe those who claim save 10K ,20K, or 30K maybe within 1 yr the tile will came off due to more sand than cement. Not that I mean or wicked , no hard feeling to all. Anyone know for laying of flooring tile tbest is lay cement follow by white cement ontop of it for best result , but of cos it will cost more.

Cheers everyone

Dear Nobody,

If you have read our posts, you will know that renotok is the culprit, NOT us. I am a victim myself and I believe i have every right to tick someone off if IT is being unreasonable. Please address the right person. You should be ONLY addressing renotok and NOT wind or me.

Thankfully, you are the ONLY person here :D who thinks it is flawed and silly.

Please report to CASE.....this is getting madness....

I see, and going to case is NOT silly or flawed!!!!

Today marked the end of our 2 months journey with Ah Soon. We have our fair share of agony and frustration with him

but nothing compared to some other owners like SeaShell, fini , trev n Jesslyn went thru thus not worth talking about

I will like to give some facts n clear up some speculations

1] On whether Ah Soon does hdb projects... the answer is yes he does..the hdb officer we met told us he was

working for her before..( however on the part that he claimed no payment from hdb..i cannot verify whether is

it true)

2] From my converation with the tile shop , the salesguy who knows him for many yrs also commented that this is

the first time that he seen Ah Soon this way and he is also scratching his head as to why..

Like wat seashell said..biz is this way..life have ups and downs..and to be cynical everything is funny as long as it's

happening to someone else...and this time round it happens to us and when u r in it, it's not funny at all.

fff, if i m not wrong, i think no one here has used ah liu before.. best is if u could request to view his work before u think u wan to engage him? if my carpentry is up, u can consider to engage mine if u find his workmanship good.

I see, and going to case is NOT silly or flawed!!!!

trev,

remember people saying karma?

those people who came in and start barking around will get their karma...

:P

Hi Fini, i went to your place last saturday to quarrel with ah soon bro (ah dai), it's becos ah soon say he wanna settle with me, i ask where is he and he told me in Yio Chu Kang. He didn't ask me to go there.

i happen to go to ur place before to take the laminates catalog from ah soon, i wanted to confront him there because he is too draggy. This is why i ended up going to your place. If the management complain about me and ah dai quarreling, i want to say Sorry to you, i dun mean it. Ah Soon never ask me to go ur place.

hi konajovin

u are a gentleman to say sorry... haiz... i guess we are jus too stress ovver ah soon liao...

well said pangpang...

the agony, frustration , etc..really get on our nerves!! and now all i hope and i guess the rest also hope, it will end soon and we can all move into our home sweet home soon...

Hi Seashell, i guess u r right... Gentleman or shameful man... if i know i am in the wrong, i will say Sorry. Anyway, i learn something in the process... family relationship and ties which money cannot buy...

My carpentry will be up today, i advise you just forget about this and move on... family bonding is much more important than money....

Don't you miss those days u go out happily with ur family? Stressless on renovation???? Peaceful nights???? Concentrating on work???

Endure this sickening period and move on... it's a lesson to all victims of ah soon....

Hi Seashell, I was told that the Ah Liu figure was aka Ah Di. I will see if his quality of work is acceptable. Please do let me know if your carpentry is up, I'm opening my options. Thank you! :good:
