  1. "TLN" aka "ngkelvin' has questionable motive by posting such remarks & using the nickname. Anyway, I'd like to voice out as well in regards to comments about homeowners being rewarded for allowing their houses be Kelvin's showflats. Like Hasibee mentioned above, we're willing to let strangers come into our house because of goodwill. I engaged Kelvin to reno my flat in mid 2006 after shortlisted a couple of IDs based on the reviews on this forum. The reno didn't go as smoothly as I expected, due to him rushing other clients houses to avoid hungry ghost month & serious personal pbm, he neglected our house & delayed the reno for more than 2 mths. Unlike many of u who stay at ur parents house, we were staying at a 3rm rented flat. The delay meant I had to fork out extra $$$ to extend the rent & our plan was jeopardized. Of course I trashed it out with him, but seeing most of his clients wanted his head as well, I just took it as my own bad luck. Unfortunately, our landlord couldn't let us stay any longer & we were forced to move into the incomplete house. We breath paint, drill dust & sawdust everyday while cooking in makeshift portable stove like illegal immigrants for 2 wks. But at the end of the day, credit is given where its due. We are happy with how the house turned out. Despite his busy schedules, he still make sure most of our problems is taken care off promptly. He also rectified & refunded us for most of his mistakes. Some ppl may hate his ah beng & straight talking attitude. But his easy going nature & honesty may have won many of his clients over. It also puzzles me how he could ended up in such state after single handedly building up his own & G'Plans reputation. Gla, I hope ur problem can be solved quickly.

  13. if u go during winter (Dec - Mar), yes it is really cold...we're talking subzero temperatures here...i've experienced -20c while i was there...but its also depend on the location, in most major cities the temperature is not tat extreme. the snow is fluffy & powdery, very nice for skiiing. but if u go within these few mths, the weather will be very pleasant & still not very cold. the autumn scenery will covered with colourful leaves, very nice. other than trekking & sightseeing...food is very famous there, especially seafood. Sapporo is good for shopping, but can't match Tokyo of course.
