Hi xlan,

If I am not wrong the HDB staff could have ask you to pay for the town council fee during the time you collected your key. Cos at first I also thought I have to pay but when I reach the town council they told us that we already paid during collection of key for three months I think. Anyway you can call to check again. Paid too many things during the time of collection until I am so confused...hehe

last sat, early morning received a "scary" call..

caller : hello! r u the owner of jln membina blk 27A #*exact-unit no.*? can u give me ur contractor's contact number?

me : huh? .... (silence, thinking hard, who the h3ll is on the line who know exactly my addr?)

: er.. who are u ah?

caller : oh.. u need to do the cement screed for 3 rooms right? i need to confirm some details with your contractor..

me: ...... (still dunno who's tat.. jus assume is either the china contructions co, or town council)

: orh.. my ID name is Lance, contact is ....

afternoon went up our unit, and they were doing the cement screeding.. my parent's room was done already.

this morning received call frm ID, say will start reno next week, money hv to prepare, would b like $600 for the sand materials, n gotta go down town council pay dunno wat fee, then gotta prepare the 2nd payment (10%) already.. :)

yesterday Lance told me no work done, only get the materials delivered up to my unit..

today i called him up again, he said is doing tiling works.. but in case if i c any objects placed on top of the tiles.. please do not step on those tiles as i will spoil the leveling or lining of the whole alignment.. hee..

so.. when i went up today at 5.30pm.. tot the contractor might have done it and left my place already.. but i was wrong.. they were still doing the tiling.. haha.. i didn't even dare to step inside my own unit.. afraid would hv spoil their works.. n stupid me.. my camera batt flat.. i hv to rely on my lousy phone to take this lousy pic.. sigh..

oh n forgot 1 ting.. i tink quite a few JM neighbours were asking abt the main gate and door that has to be cut off slightly to cater for the tiled floor..

yes yes.. my ID informed me abt the same ting.. he said our gate n door gotta be trimmed a little to give space for the homo tiles.. n it is alright for me la.. as long as he smooth it nicely for me as thou no trimming done.. haha..
