anyway to update ... my id just ran off with my $$ of 11.8k and i have made a police report on him as well as the companies involved and its currently pending commercial crime investigations .. For the company that I have made a cheque deposit to i have also logged a CASE as well as small case against the owner .. pending 2nd interview with the honor for his judement although the owner claims he is innocent and that that idoitic id (or i shall call him pig "same as his surname really befitting) he doesnt know him very well but who cares he did bank in the 1st cheque and thus he accepted my job via that "pig" so if he is innocent and nt that "pig" accomplice then he also very suay .. Have been talking with alot of lawyers and very grateful of them to give me sound advices on how and what to proceed as well as analyse my case for me (without $ yet) .. will leave contacting them for professional service as last resort ($$$) ..

For my home, have got a friend brother in law (whom is a contractor) to help me do up the stuffs (which is all the items i required ..) ..

Also settled my ventilation fans issues in the bathroom , my contractor is going to do my ventilation fan in bathroom up in the false ceiling of my bathrooms (he will customize for me) just like his home and this is cheaper than replacing the windows and also he will be putting a grid protection for the blower and exhust part for protection :)

With the effect of the lost of the very significant amount, i have also increased my scope of work to include more items so make it more worth my 30+k reno (incuding the amt that "pig" absconded with but i will still try ALL MEANS To get back my $$ regardless form who or whom ..)

God BLESS ME ...

can pm me the id company name? haha we stay same area.. but i have not get any ID yet. still looking

anyway should be going for the plain design 1 (slim type) material alum + pc .. samsung epistar led .. but the grid ones 9w also looks nice only thing is i dont rem if got additional cover in front of the led (but saw that in a shop in sg v bright) but fatter though ...

price abt same .. think my hub more inclined towards the plain design so easier to mantain i guess .. or maybe will get a fe wof the grid types for bathroom and see .. hmz ...

my trunking have been done and its extremely horrendous .. is it normal for trunking to run from bottom of the beam above the door across the whole room of wall (where i intend to put my wradrobe) to the other room?

Also the bathroom trunlking is even worse .. i expected fat trunking but not to the extent of THAT FAT and all lump up 2 rows at my storage heater area .. what the **** are they thing about ., Also they broke my common bathroom basin ....

NEVER GET FROM GC ..!! gg to meet their supervisor on friday and i do expect a rework !!
