Till The Dust Settles...
11th April 2006, Tuesday
As you would know by now, my house is undergoing the 2nd phase of overhaul which involves the retiling the walls of the 2 toilets.
As planned the contractors came in and started hacking off the original tiles in the toilet of the master bedroom while mending the ceiling of the common bathroom which had huge chunks dissociating from the main spine of the ceiling and falling in shambles, which is fortunate no one got hurt.
So basically the entire place is in total disarray with the marble floor of the living room and the kitchen's flooring to allow the regular transport of tools and cartons of tiles in and out of the house.
There was no lack of dust engulfing the usually pristine condition of our home which really drives Mom to the wall.
We basically had to put on flip-flops or other form of footwear to manuveour around the place.
The state of sanitation at home is also not the most ideal with the lighting of the common bathroom hanging by the wires literally to accomodate to the mending of the ceiling.
My sister even had to go over her pal's place to shower as our family starting to adjust to 5 days of living in a state of renovation which is almost not advisable.
Remember the domineering lady boss of the retailing shop in Chong Pang where we pre-ordered for the sink, the bathroom mirror, water heater and other sanitation needs.
After her insolent boast about fulfilling all our sanitation needs while bullying his mouse-deer like husband around, she went on to sell away that mirror we had listed in our order with the notion of greed for profit.
My Dad who made the call in the afternoon to beckon them to send over all the stuff we had reserved claimed that she was apologising profusely for not able to fulfill the order and mentioned the next shipment would only arrive in late May.
My lass wasn't too pleased with such precedings as she had hope to see the mirror and sink been fixed up before flying off; and ultimately disgusted by the way the lady boss does her business which is appalling in the service and retailing line...what you promised, you will have to deliver...
Mom was more worried that they would not be able to deliver the exact replica of the mirror we had wanted; and asked if we should find an alternative.
I would actually forgive such retailers if they were honest-looking (hey come on, in this time and age honest-looking business man are extremely rare and those that existed might had their business dwindling into nothing by now) and had wonderful track record. But this lady boss is way too domineering for my liking and she gives people the impression that even customers should conform to her sayings.
Well I am just glad we need not patronise them often to see her face again.
At the meantime we just had to tolerate with the dust scattered around due to the renovation and the disarray of our living conditions for the next few days.

Japanese word of the day:塵 (Dust) Enough to make my figuriones which I had meticulously wiped clean over the days dirty once more.
