Got a funny situation yesterday, someones maid saw 3 renovation workers doing renovation overstaying/trying to stay overnight in one of the houses undergoing renovation, my neighbours alerted the security guards on duty as it seems these guys even went to talk to the maid.
Yesterday there were 3 separate teams of guards(some on motorbikes) with searchlights, cameras and dogs converging on that house from all directions. It looked surreal, as if a scene from my old army camp.
They didn't find anyone though so likely they may have changed their minds and left but if i was one of the workers, i would definitely not be coming back anytime soon.
From what i understand, the security is still digging through to find their identities and once identified, their contractors and the guys will be banned permanently.
yeah. me too. Btw, today MPJB is doing crow shooting. I'm glad that I'm not around to see to withness the sorry sight. I'd see them do it in Eunos, terrible! :(
Agree Euphony, i would also suggest having tea bags in the house and placed around new furniture as it can actually help to soak up toxins in the air and emanating from furniture which sometimes uses certain glue which are poisonous to us such as those containing formaldehyde(common).
Cathylmg, i might know you in real life as some of your quotes are very familiar.
Ok. Just to name a few:-
1. Dirty soil sinks and kitchens...
2. The kitchen come with untensils, they use the bowls to soak the socks, use the forks as a scrub.
3. Japanese ladys buys mineral waters to wash their face, then so many bottles just leave around, don't even bother to throw it away...
4. Used condoms under the bed, don't even bother to throw away.... :P
You want more....aiyoh!
How about drinking the tea instead. Then it will help soak out the toxins in our body.
Wow, seems you got the really bad ones.
I have 4 tenants, 3 from Singapore, 1 from local (working in SG)
So far, all are good. 1 of them from Singapore is a Malay couple, all of my tenant takes care of our houses too.
Some even spruced up the house, others change new lights, yet some tried to change out the taps but i helped them change for free. I don't provide utensils though but i make sure there is enough water pressure, lights working fine, aircon cold, etc.
Wah. Makes ganjiong liao... who are you huh?

Seems like Singaporeans are still best right?

Agreed, be humble here, hard to learn melayu but i am slowly picking up. I am glad you were in time.
Recently though someone said to me, You Singaporeans are an insensitive lot as you have never been overseas and thus not as sensitive to others feelings.
You should not be eating anything with pork at all, i know its hard for Singaporeans like you to understand business in MY.
He meant well i guess as we were still in the midst of preparing the biz and wanted to attract all races. Yet he didn't know that we had removed all instances of animals that may offend and even the wanton noodles were actually ordered by his wife's workers without going through us.
My wife was a bit pissed off as was i but we just kept smiling, having worked in the states, EU, Japan/Korea, maybe i am still not sensitive or experienced enough like him. Then again, i am only 34 so still need experts like him to teach me.
Ok here is the news.
Jam building up at both links at the moment.
Im in tho. I heeded cathys advice n got in quickly.
I chose link two.
Finger printing goin on
Haha remind me of what some people tell me why they don't dare to use the towel and pillow in hotel, got to bring their own...they don't know what other people have used the towel for (as rag) and pillow (for their feet)...
Actually best is the local one, he is not from JB though but one of the other states. Gives me my rental ahead of time, fixes the house, spray WD40, etc. Buys food for us, buy gifts for us whenever he is overseas. Makes me glad i got them good mattresses and one of my tenants i put in king sized beds. The minimum bed size depending on the room type ranges from super single to king.
