Meet up with contractor
On wed night we met up with a contractor which is recommended by Cat, first impression with Nicholas is he is a very approachable person. He has been in this line for about 13 yrs, through the whole coversation we knew he is an very experience person n know his stuff well. Although the quotation that he quoted us is around 45K (which is damn x) cos the material he used is of better quality but at least when dear told him our budget is only 20K he asked we guys to treat the quotation as a "shopping list" and see where we can reduce he will try to work out with our budget. Unlike the ID @ IMM just give us that kind of remark "sure exceed 20K one" before even she given me the quotation.
Guess we should have expected the cost to be quite high due to many hacking work, those we are getting new flat can really save a lot on this portion. I have discuss with dear that for sure the kitchen, service yard, 2 toliets, waredore, and platform bed has to be done. The rest will be optional as for the flooring we are thinking of retaining it. Currently, we are still waiting for Zhong Wei to finish the 3D design of the house and the quotation from one of his friend then we decide what to do next.
We will continue again after CNY, for the time being let take a break :)

Synovate CNY dinner
Yesterday night was my company annual CNY dinner and this year it is held @ M Hotel. We reach there around 6plus but waited till 8 plus then started reason been we are waiting for "our guest of honor - an ang mo" who took a flight from Beijing. As most of you know it is snowing terrible in China and his flight was delay for 7 hours. But everyone is complaining hungry plus tomorrow is still a working day :( I just dun understand whyy my company like to arrange events on such day y not a Friday...
While waiting for our guest of honor to arrive, we play a virtual mahjong game. Since last year our company has been divided into 4 teams, so this year the arrangement of the team is still the same. So this is how the game goes, each team will nominate 2 ppl to play for the team, there are a total of 6 puzzles, we need to identify what are the possible missing tiles. Our team won the overall for last year, but guess what for this game we got -13 point lolz cos each mistake there will be a 2 point deducted *pengz* from the 1st to the last one...but ok la let other teams has a chance to win (say this to make us feel better)
Finally, the dinner started we have 8 course meal which consist of yu sheng, shark fins, spinach with abolance, steam groupa, pipa duck, lotus rice, dumplings with red bean soup and lastly fried nian gao.. overall the food taste average... As our company are quite active in charity activities, we have 2 rounds of luck draw whereby each employee write their name on the $ note (min is $2) and all these $ will goes to charity group our company support. The first lucky draw is a 8G ipod touch pad and the next one is $888 cash!!!!
As usual, i am not the winner *sad* hw I wish I can win the $888 then it can contributes to my reno expense... (daydreaming again) Towards the 4th dishes, I can sense that they r trying to end the dinner asap.... (similar to what happening during weddings) Finally, we manage to leave around 10pm and shared a cab with 4 colleagues since all of us stay @ hougang. Total damage of the cab fare is $18.90 (inclusive of ERP $0.50 and CBD $3) which is damn X lor. Lucky is share by 4 of us else i will rather take a train back.... :P

IMM ID
Recently, we has been sourcing for contractors to reno their love nest. We have shortlisted 2 ID and 2 contractors, one of the ID is based in the IMM hub. So let talk about this IMM ID, its a she. Darling and i went down on a saturday's evening to look for her, do the usual stuff like introduction and how we found her blah blah blah........
Apparently, she screw up the moment she started making her 3rd sentence about the main topic. So guess what she did: 1st she ask for our floor plan, 2nd she ask which floor are we staying and we answer her 2nd storey and........the 3rd sentence goes like "Wah, so low ah.........hahahaha" and there was a moment of slience for a few seconds. She added on "Ai yo sometime low storey also good, no need to walk too much." But too late, she cannot redeemed herself, in our mind it goes like "You have screw up".
But still we listened to what's her proposal and plan, after all we came so far from Buangkok and eventually fixed an appointment with her to review the quotation which is on last friday. So on friday, we went to meet her again. Guess how much her quotation was........35k wah lau eh.......my darling and i goes like WTF. She went through the individual items with us and the best part about her quote was the free gift she gave. Free colour glass panels for the kitchen wall, hahahahhaha, i was thinking "Hello friend, other companies are giving away SYSTEM 3 air-con system and you, glass panels, why not i pay for the glass panel and you replaced that with a System 3". This is really a bad deal that the ID had offered, i must be an idoit if i take up the package. This ID is definitely out of our list for the comment she made and the quote she offered.
We will be meeting a contractor on wednesday, hopefully this one turn out to be good.
