yes yes mdm?! still around still around. the other 2 i dunno liao wor. show me the lambourgini kitchen man!

mine i just stay in like 3 weeks. so far the 3 weeks all my things are still ok except my clothes hanger 1 side drop off due to poor installation. uncle goh came to fix for me le. As for my floor tiles, I detected 2 tiles with cut leg feeling, also replaced le. common toilet, gradient not right, water ponding - rectified before HO Carpentry work got imperfection here and there but ah wei very steady, when i complain he told me : i will rectify until u are happy. and his guys came back painstakingly 1 day per week for 3-4 weeks and really rectify until i happy. But I did close one eye on a potion of laminate which i think wasn't joint really nicely. To redo that potion will be a nightmare to the carpenter and me cos i dun want to clean the whole place again!!! will try to post the pic in my blog when i post my conclusion. TV feature wall kanna deep scratch due to carelessness of worker, ah wei used black glass to cover up the scratch and it became and improvise design for my tv console, pics will be up at my blog later. whoever want to do just carpentry and keen to get ah wei can pm me for contact. this one i dare to recommend. Eletrical works done by ah tan, that ah tan abit siao siao one, he will do things half way then decide to come another day to finish up. He will check with me where and at what ht i want my powerpts and switches to be. I told him "chin chai lah" then kanna scold cos he say cannot chin chai, if not fix liao i not happy very troublesome.... -_- at some areas the trunking not so nicely done cos they cut small pieces to fix together. I complained and it was rectified. the outstanding thing is he has yet to come back to fix my door bell... so now visitors press my dummy door bell until finger sprained i also dunno got people standing outside cos inside not connected Plumbing works - before HO got a leaky joint at MBR handspray, rain shower not fix correctly rectified also before HO. The plumbing team so far so good. Painting - was given 3 malay painters... CMI... paint crooked lines and i suspect they only paint 1 coat... door frames nv paint properly... uncle goh came to repaint door frames and the crooked lines was done by mr zhong Plastering - also must watch closely. the team dun seems to be quite skillful. can see uneven surface even after plastering. they did areas that are really obvious and for the remaining i gave up cos as they do i clean i clean until fed up... the rectification is really dusty!! and i have shifted in. so guys pls check ur plastering before HO hor?! so that u no need to clean and reclean like me. I receive equal dosages of NJD (2 weeks) , uncle's aeroplanes and miss calls. for me I was warned of his pattern prior to engaging him so I am pretty cool abt it, I made a mistake by telling him he can take his time to do my unit cos I dun need the house urgently and he really take his time wor!!! whole project took 12 weeks. but it's my own doing lah. if u ask me, whole process was not hiccup free not stress free and he made me cry once! but at the end of the reno process plus 3 weeks live in, i am a satisfied customer who has grown naggier (u can see by the lengthe of my posts) due to all the chasing calls made to uncle. probably i come to post another naggy post in here if this thread is still around after 1-2 years live in to see whether anything fell apart. ohh forget to add that i did check my carpentry and i was given all solid plywood as well. phew! laminate i chose from EDL and Jennings. Ah wei did warn me Jennings laminate quality not as good, but their laminates are really pretty so I can't resist. I hope i didn't miss out any part of the work. Go for ah soon only if u are not perturbed by the possible lengthy NJD/Miss calls/Aeroplanes/and the tomorrow that maybe weeks down the road. He is nice but he does have his weaknesses that we have highlighted time and again

u asked uncle huh? I called to ask him too. and in fact I had also pm him this is not the way to promote business cos people here know uncle's pattern inside out, no need to smoke de cos the ah soon customers' will post both the good and the bad and forum folks all know his customers' behaviour de, so far no one has suddenly popped out to post such things. (if i dun hear uncle wrongly, this one seems to be his customer 5 years ago and is trying to help). i tried explaining to uncle by the ex customer doing that it will bring him more harm than good, he listen until blur blur cos certain terms i dunno how to put in chinese and hokkien mah, also dunno he understand what i am trying to tell him hahahah. i also told him in my pm, by him doing this not only will he not help ah soon, he will end up causing people to throw rotten eggs at uncle hahahah. he was gracious as well liao, he concur with me though i was rude and said that he will not post such things again. aiyoh *sweat*

Dean, i showed u the draft quote to let u have a reference for comparison, not encouraging u to engage ah soon lah. Ah soon speaks mainly chinese/hokkien/malay. good luck to your search and remember must do homework so that can save cost!

the toilet wall is still bling ah just that must take close up then can see the bling hahaha

HomeMaster, somehow I feel he is more like a trouble maker trying to stir some controversy. sorry for being skeptical cos we all know that ah soon and family hardly know english, let alone know how to come up here to post on thread and let alone wanting to start a website. i know i am rude, but can't help it :x

howeas pls dun just call blindly. do read thru the postings in the original ah soon thread so that you will understand his working style.

orh kum sia, i cock eye, amended 1 time still type sala and pls dun call me Ms Secretary cos I am not. if not all tom dick and harry will think can pass message and chase work thru me, i die. got 1 BD to 害我 enough liao i no need another to drive me to my grave faster.

very nice kitchen!! The blue backing looks really attractive! I like the feature wall cum shoe cabinet too. simple neat and nice

aiyoh can do L shape good enough le. what other shape u want? Z? W? X? hahahha u want island huh?

i want singkapo local drama script

Seashell, I find the plastering team not too skillful. So if u are doing plastering, pls open eyes big big to look out for bumps and lumps, especially on the ceiling. Paintwork gotta watch too. I got crooked lines.

ehhh Fu Hua ID ?? who u??! sorry if i sound unfriendly. but u adopt this nick and post such comments sure will invite suspicion. and by saying that u are sure she will be in safe pair of hands clearly shows that u dun really know ah soon's working style very well.

aiyah u see jackie chan, jet li also come out with 1-2 movies in a single year only. so ahh it's the quality not quantity! BD no more script liao. must go and engage a script writer to write new script for us to act

what's the offer terms like? got AWS? Bonus? how many days annual leave? what is the career prospect? got medical and dental benefits? got cover dependents for medical??? me?? gun yu?? i got so fierce meh?? ur 1st level no toilet de ah? wah lau ur kitchen layout looks spacious too leh!! bigger than mine lor

又害我!!! 80% of the boys' toys are handed down by the cousins and my dad's friend's grandkids. so i am not much better off Kopi-O, post when u are comfy lor

as compared to my last kitchen, this one i have is definitely more spacious.. but all the space goes to living/dining/kitchen then end up my MBR very puny.... frankly i rather my MBR be bigger... if u are nearby u wanna pop up look see look see just let me know lah. u post ur layout then get fellow friends to throw in ideas for u lor

i can at most last 2 hours in meeting. anything beyond that one ear in one ear out and if i am hungry i can't even last past 30mins unless snacks are provided :x and I hate meeting that are arranged at lunch time lor!

hahahha ok lah ok lah i also kanna nag until buay tahan that's why put in double effort to unpack until at least i not too shy to post the pics Wardrobe still mess lah need to further organize and the boys toys are still all over the place... can't decide whether to build extra cabinets to keep their toys or endure till my sis shift out and chuck everything into the room... still thinking... I am very happy with the kitchen!! I love the extra side table, it is really useful for baking!! all the prep can be done there... if I've planned better.. i should have added power points above the table... then i can do my mixing there... wonder whether now wanna add can or not...

My dinning room is bare now, no table cos it will only be delivered in end sept as well. So nothing to show except my curtains Close up of curtain : My fully occupied Alter : ok.. that's the end of 1st installment of live in pics. Next episode will show the nightmare in my living area and boys rooms due to their toys

The before and after comparison of the additional box up above the black glass cabinets. I definitely prefer the "after" look. I think it looks neater and more complete.

Different Views of kitchen :

next come the toilets MBR Toilet Common Toilet Common bathroom

The other side of MBR : For a computer desk squeeze in the room prior to me having my study room back : pardon the cheapo plastic chair... my office chair still swimming somewhere. will only be delivered end of sept.

ok better update on my place before my T-Blog become a chat site. Here comes my 1st installment of live in pics. Today will just be MBR and Kitchen. boys room/living/access area in next installment which will happen dunno when lah.. probably when i got mood to snap pictures hehehe MBR toilet glass door and wardrobe Initially I choose another colour for my wardrobe door but it was translucent and a little see through which I dun like cos hor I wanna change in the wardrobe mah! The evil me insisted ah wei to paste something at the back so that the wardrobe won't be translucent... I was advised against it cos he told me if he paste anything at the back it will look patchy from the front... stubborn me insist... and the effect came out really yucky and patchy.... Ah wei was gracious to change both doors for me without charging me extra (maybe he charged it to uncle ?? :x I dun wanna know ). The current colour is the closest colour to brown that is not translucent. A comparison pic between the before and after : For KPOS who wonder how the mess inside the wardrobe looks like, it is as below : The other side of the wall I forget to take picture.. got a piece of mirror... Will try to take and upload..
