Reno permit finally approved

Been very busy at work lately, lots of last minute reports to do. Sort of kena saboed by my stupid boss coz she supposed to consolidate some info (or rather must tell me to do) but she din email to me. It was only when my colleague asked me then I am aware and got him to send to me 1st. I managed to compile all the info required and send to my boss. It was then after changes here and there then she finally replied her email. She din even mention about how come I will initiate to do and not even a word of thanks... kns...

Anyway just done a mini op for my sis - removing her massive amount of ear wax which had been stuck since last week. She had seen a doc as her ear was blocked most of the time but after few days of ear drops, din really improve. Felt a sense of satisfaction but cun post the pictures here else everyone will probably faint... hahaha...

Just got news from my ID (Priscilla) earlier (Fri) that our reno permit is approved in principle, now awaiting for the offical permit letter then can start reno work soon. We had some problems the other day as we were informed by Pris that we might have problems getting the permit approved coz we wanted to remove the balcony door. She mentioned that it might affect the beam or something and suggested Web to call HDB to find out more. After calling, the officer advised that the ID can submit a drawing and specify how the work will be done without affecting the structure then the permit would probably be able to go through.

Pris also mentioned that a safer way is to engage a PE (Project Engineer) to certify and endorse but would need to pay $500 for his service and it might drag to a month's plus. One of her client actually got rejected recently, with the same requirements as us and she's scared ours will be delayed. We then decided not to remove the balcony door but on the other hand, she did submit a drawing to HDB and who knows, it really went through! I even wrote an email to the officer to ask him to help in expediting but no reply from him yet, guess doesn't really matter now.

We will be meeting Pris tomorrow to select the 1st round of stuff like tiles etc. Hopefully everything should be finalised while we wait for the offical permit letter. Web has been worried about the reno coz he wanted it to end by mid July if possible so now more or less he should be able to have a good night's sleep.
