tell u lor, so angry in tonight's meeting
i should have take it easy since i am leaving liao.
but am angry with tt f***ing, CCB, KNN, CB, KNS man lor
i dun want my reputation to be ruined by one stupiak man, who wants to act smart alec, or be a hero.....

everything was gg on very smoothly until he touched on the topic of the VO.
he wants to see PROOF
which i explained tt contractor claimed tt they are unable to give coz the supplier billed them everything under one invoice which they dun want to let us see coz P&C. i already told the contractor to see whether can they get the supplier to just ON GOODWILL do a separate one for this particular one so that they can showed it to them. but contractor said cannot and then suggested that they can get the supplier to send them an email and they used tt email to substantiate. argued until i also gave up lor so i told the contractor i can asked for them see whether can accept or not. but i reinforced the fact tt my client HAS THE RIGHTS TO SEE WHAT THEY ARE PAYING FOR!! i did my part ok, not tt i simply took a NO for an answer. and tt stupiak man commented NO WAY!! "SY, u r in this line u should know. how can we pay without seeing anything? i am only willing to pay for whatever loss tt contractor incur" then i went " but mr X, i already told the contractor tt my client has the rights to see the invoice so that they know what they are paying for, but they told me they cannot do it even when i asked them to see whether the supplier is willing to do a separate one for them just to forward it to us but they claimed it cannot be done. tts why now i am asking whether an email from the supplier can do or not if its acceptable to all" and he went "no cannot. then how i know how much to pay? i am only willing to pay for the loss incurred" and i went "this is not a loss which contractor incurred, its the nett price cum special discount which the contractor gave us for the paint which we had chosen and then rejected" and he went "who chose the paint?" and this is when i FLARED UP!!!!! why?? coz he is the BLOODY F***ING HELL WHO CHOSE THAT BLOODY F***ING PAINT!! and NOW HE HAS THE BLOODY F***ING CHEEK/FACE TO ASK "WHO CHOSE THE PAINT?" u see lah, CB is it? i very angry lor. i stunned for words for a moment!!!!!!

i am not siding with the contractor which he claimed "i have been in this line for so many years, i know consultants ALWAY side with contractors".......F***ING PIG!!! i am very impartial ok, those calls and conversation i had with contractor to get whatever i can get who knows?? only i and contractor know. u pig brain know meh??u know what? u only think i side with contractor...to hell with u lor..... i can swear I AM ALWAYS ONLY DOING MY PART OF THE WORK TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY!! i dun cheat a single cent from u lor. i worked hard for my hard earned money!!!!

just like tt being shouted at issue on the air con, i went all out to try to solve the leaking air con for him and what i get? nothing lor "can u get it done by next week? i dun want to start my business and got leaking problem" then i went " but its an obselete brand, i need some time cannot guranttee next week" and he buay siong and went "get it done" and hang up......i should have just told him "my client said to dismantle it" and case closed. and u unhappy abt it, u go talk to her. but i went tt extra mile and who knows? boss knows? u know? he knows? bloody hell, nobody knows lor........and i get all the blame!! for what? for being Ms NICE!! CCB lor.......... i dun get appreciated or praised for gg tt extra mile......

anyway, luckily the current chairman was also the previous members so he went with a shocked look (coz i think he also knew who chose the REJECTED paint) "what who choose the colour? the council members choose the colours lor" then he shut up esp when now the other members also asked "how did the rejected paint come abt?" and i went "well, u see, the contractor painted the colours as mock up for members to choose and then it was approved and they went ahead with the painting and during the agm it was brought to our attention tt the residents DISLIKE the colour very muchie( and dun u forget it was this sunday meeting which was dragged until 6 plus tt i cannot go fishing with my dear and he got angry with me ok!!!!) so we did a polling/survey and then decided to change the colour to another tone. tts why now there is this issue on the rejected paint and the cost and the delayed" then the members went "orh. then no choice lah. colours were chosen by previous members and then residents dun like. no choice lah. ya lah ya lah. this money must spend lah" then tt F***er kept quiet. then lady member said " ok lah, small sum. if we didn't asked how much the cost during that time then its our fault lah. but since we asked i think its fair tt we paid the contractor" and another guy member went "ya lor. $1800 only, not as if its $18,000. i think small sum dun fuss over small issue." and chairman went "ya. just pay. small amount lets not harped over it" i tell u lor, i dun intend to harp over it!! it was u know who who wants to harp over $1800 lor.......and its 1o pails of 20L pre-mixed paint, not off the shelve kind ok........

but he wants to have the last and final say leh, he went "u know. the contractors hor, they hor, paint the colours red, green, blue purple to let us choose. such a short time frame how to choose properly lor." then he smiled. if he no said tt, i still ok. said liao, i lagi angry lor. coz why? coz i was informed by Z, when i first took over the project from her, this f***er took a long time to choose the mock ups and caused a delay" and now he said such a thingy.....u said angry or not......ma chiam pushed it all to me. but i tell u lor, i wasn't in the picture in the first place when colour was chosen lor......bloody pig!! use ur pig brain when u want to push the blame away......to me he already bo say liao....

and why he said i side with contractor. coz i recommend to grant them an extension up to 3rd dec, reason being, re selection of paint!!! as simple as tt. i explained to them why only 9 days. whats so big deal. it was a delay on our part. No big deal lor. i am just doing my own assessment and stating the facts tts all. and guess what pig brain asked "consultant, is this a reasonable assessment?" of course i will say yes lor. it was delayed on our part. and he went "u mean no job can be carried out during tt 9 days?" then i went "those 9 days of course, the contractor still doing job. but in their email, they already explained tt they cannot dismantle the scaffolding to erect at other places and cannot use boom lift and then got to deploy their workers back to the areas, based on all these facts, i recommend to give them the 9 days coz from agm to the day we confirmed the paint is 9 days lor" and he went "dun talk abt what they said in the email lah. i think we will keep this issue open till the end of the project." in my heart i thinking "who does such a thingy one? what if end of the day u dun give then how? u gg to LD the contractor then u think the contractor will allow u to do it? and then hor, in the first place, what u mean by dun talk abt the email? the contents of the email is to state how the delay came abt. and hor, the delayed was actually for 3 weeks lor. and i am only granting them 9 days." so i in front of everybody asked the contractor "is this ok with u?" and they went "we understand what Mr X is saying, we will proceed with our work then and end of the project then they will let us know how many days to grant us. but if they dun grant us an extension, we will now put up a challenge lor. coz its our entitlement." so i went " we already granted the 1st EOT to them, and revised contract period is 22nd nov, which is today. tts why today we decide whether to grant them the 9 days and the new revised date will be 3rd dec." then he went "u mean u already granted the 1st EOT?" then i went "ya. coz it was brought up during the 1st meeting and in principle approval was granted and then last meeting it was brought up again and tts why we granted. and tts why now i am recommending the 2nd EOT to be granted to contractor" and hor, i tell u lor, it was minuted down in the meetings on the "in principle approval" and also i send an email to all of them to inform tt i will be issuing the contractor a letter on the extension and if no comments from them i will proceed. and really no comments mah, so i send lor. i got standard one lor, not suka suka one lor.......he damn CB one lor.....nobody said or asked anything. and he made so much noise. end of the day, he dun grant then how? u think contractor so nice to let u LD them? wait long long lor.........u see outside market, who last min/ end of project then grant EOT one. i know have lor. but seldom one lor. eot according to contract must be granted at the pt of time if u want to go by LAW!!!!!!!! u want to follow the book, u got to follow thru not half past six lor. and then later blame "consultant why no advise?" then u really CBK lor. anyway, to save my own backside, i think got to make sure tt it is properly minuted down tt it was COMMENTED BY HIM..........
