WE MOVED!!!

We finally resumed operations at Forum on Tuesday.. after all the back breaking work of packing.. shifting.. cleaning.. unpacking.. setting up the kids play gym.. running errands to buy swivels, hooks, furniture (during which my colleague hit a truck and dented a hole in the front bumper of his car..OUCH!).. and MORE cleaning...
However, God must have wanted to teach us (especially ME) 'patience' during the entire process.. ha ha! The reinstatement of the previous place was more complex than expected.. due to conflicting and extremely confusing instructions by the management to our contractor:
  • Pour concrete to seal the drainage hole.. then had to unseal it.. cover with floor trap instead
  • Paint the walls white (even though the next tenant.. our neighbour.. will be tearing down walls to expand her clinic)
  • Cut all the wires (which will have to be reconnected immediately).. then turned out they can switch off the power from the Riser.. now WHY didn't they SAY so earlier???
  • Replace the downlights by the window ledge and put a switch at the concrete pillar.. which to our knowledge was non-existent since we never used them!
  • Frost the front glass door panel.. wrong font for the lettering..
  • Replace torn aircon insulators.. we had always maintained and service all of them according to the regulations.. so we were not informed of this problem earlier by both parties.. how is it our responsibility then?

I had initially thought the most difficult would be tearing down and disposing the steel bars.. but.. THEEETTT!!!.. I was so wrong! Anyway, I hope nothing else crops up.. like install shatter proof windows.. or bullet proof doors..ha ha ha!
