We are quite irritated with our designers. 3 and a half weeks ago, they have zapped a copy of Hao's IC and said they will submit to HDB to apply for permit. They said most probably will take around 1 week. 1 week plus later, on the day to start renovation, he said that our permit is still not yet approved. 2 weeks after (last wednesday), he mentioned most probably, the permit will be approved this monday (which was yesterday) and that we can arrange with the aircon installers to meet up on this thursday becoz most probably the hacking can be done on wednesday. Becoz of that, I have taken leave so that we can both go down and take a look and at the same time, pay the aircon guy.

Yesterday, Hao received a call from our co-designer saying he just called HDB and the permit is STILL not done yet! I wonder what is wrong. I would have expected them to call HDB after 2 weeks of submission to check but until now, we still have not got our permit! Today, he called Hao again, and told him that the permit is still not approved and we cannot have the aircon installer to go down on thursday! ARGGHHH!! We were quite pissed. In the end, we arranged with the aircon installer to meet on next monday (when the both of us will be working!). What to do??!!! Sigh, we have already been delayed by this for more than 1 week. I hope they can manage to finish by the scheduled time to avoid clashing with the lunar 7th month.
