Ho`la!
Tonight i feel like writing..
Actually, a lot has happened since like forever..gua sungguh malas menulis sekarang ni..
For a start...rumah agam * i yg tak siap2 from like nearly 3 years ago. Mula2 beli rumah...we planned to live in it. Not for investment whatever. Our present house at that time was just to small for my growing kids..be it i like its location better. Dekat dgn kedai, public transport, petrol station and not overly sunyi. Nevertheless, we had to sell it in order to renovate the new one. The latter had cost us many arms and legs, left us with nothing at the end of the day. Our first agent was not aggresive enough..took her over one year plus and she still couldn't sell that house. The second one managed to sell it in just 3 days. By Jan, the new owner had received the keys to the house. We had to pay her rent since then until we were 'evicted' in May. Renovation rumah baru tak siap then (until now actually but at least i can see the end now). Was supposed to complete by March.
Well, what can i say? When i was in the UK, dulu ada rancangan ni regarding contractors from hell. What do u know...we had one. Ni semua kes nak bagi peluang pada bangsa sendiri. Track record according to MG was not bad. I had my doubts even from the beginning...nak start renovate pun bertangguh tangguh. Memula tu, pekerja ramai. Pastu tengok sorang dua org je...patut start kerja pukul 8, kul 11 baru sampai. Sebelum kul 4 dah chow. Btw, when we had to move out from our old house, we moved to one only about 100 m from our new one. So, i kan kerja flexi hours...so i dok sekodeng bila workers datang and balik.
I listened to MG rant about them. Ada wasap group with the contractors. At the beginning i staryed out of it..ya laa...MG dah biasa manage projects...takkan rumah weols dia tak boleh manage sendiri kan?
My dasar tak masuk campur changed when one morning i nampak wasap masuk siap dgn pic sekali. MG was politely asking the contractors what the hell his workers were doing mixing cement on timber flooring. Masa tu memang segala bulu on me naik tegak. Dah la mak masa tu tengah geram...kita sibuk mencari rumah sewa utk short term..call sana sini homestays and all. Mostly bumis la..they either don't return your calls..or their wives reply your wasap and bunyi nada wasap tu macam kita nak mengorat laki dia.
Anyway, back to the cement on timber thing, i actually wrote a long and sarcastic and nasty wasap to the contractors. If i were to get something similar from my boss i think i akan nangis 7 hari 7 malam. But of course, sebagai isteri mithali (kadang2), i asked for MG's permission dulu before i sound the contractors. Si setan tu tak jawab pun...the wasap group was quiet...after 2 weeks i tanya MG, uols dah tak berwasap ke? MG cakap err...the contractors created another group and excluded me. setan ke tak tu?
Anyway, that was just the beginning. MG was busy all the time. So i thought i'd better jadi lady boss jugak. I wasaped the guy..mintak dia jumpa at 630pm on A friday. I want him to go through with us apa yg dah siap, belum siap n bila nak siap. Berkejarlah i ni balik dari ofis and by 6.15 dah terpacak depan rumah baru. Tunggu sampai 6.35 tak de...6.45 baru setan tu called MG up and cakap tak jadi jumpa pasal dia kena ambik anak dia kat asrama somewhere up north. What????!@#$#@!
I dah melompat2 kat situ, so MG passed the phone over to me.You know what...i have never been thaaattttt angry! I meletup macam mesin gun...i langsung tak bagi dia cakap. All those pent up anger because of rumah tumpangan yg panas takde aircond, takleh bukak tingkap pasal takde grille, having to live out of boxes...cari benda tak jumpa...atok Monty yg trauma dgn new surroundings plus nanti kang nak kena pindah lagi...i guessed i laharkan semua masa tu. Then i passed the phone back to MG. When i called the setan tu tak professional bec cancel meeting last minute...dia pulak tuduh i yg tak professional bec main wasap je...apa salah call je dia katanya...wah wah wah...nak sangat dia tu i call dia 24/7 ye? He hasn't seen crazy yet..! Pastu MG macam cakap pelan2 dgn dia...dia macam mengadu n MG cam pujuk dia pulak. So we met the next day. I macam clerk mahkamah...siap catit sepanjang 2 jam nengok2 rumah tu..the guy just avoided eye contact with me. Professionallah sangat tu kan?
In the end..it was not worth it....setan tu punya attitude camtu jugak. No change at all. Taunya mintak duit, duit, duit. MG called them to the office..nak sack pun...but they didn't turn up...some of their building equipment ada tertinggal..including the cement mixer. What do you think happened to them? :) Panggil atok datang...atok datang habis diangkutnya balik. Selamattttt...
Now we have a non-bumi dependable albeit cakap banyak laki bini cam Phua Chu Kang. Gembiranya hati i tengok ada perubahan day to day...
Anyway, bulan 11 ni kena evict pulak dari rumah tumpangan ni...what to do...hidup merempat camni lah. But at least..ok la...even though we are so broke now, tak tau nak cakap.
To the contractor setan tu..kalau ikut hati memang rasa nak name and shame je dia, biar bisnes terlungkup...but kesian anak bini dia yang tak bersalah..well, i hope he experiences ED**.
