upgraded lift is confirmed in working condition now!

few days ago some blk k residents got chance to use the upgraded lift as the other lift was down, the vendor anticipated it may take awhile to fix the problem so they open the upgraded lift for residents to use, or else our residents will need to use to stair case to go home.

actually the lift is 95% completed as far as upgrading is concerned, because the vendor were planning to change the car door & putting the formica at the 4 walls before it release to blk k residents for the full operation.

so for those who used the upgraded lift that day & saw the wall & door still old one, pls don't get disappointed because there should be new doors & much nicer wall in another few more days' time.

so on the same afternoon, as the vendor managed to fix the problem of the other lift, the shut down the upgraded one, dismantle the door, sent it to their own vendor for the new door fabrication, at the same time arrange for the new formica to be placed at the 4 walls of the lift, hopefully it won't take long to complete this last phase of process.

after the upgraded lift in full operation, we will not shut down another lift for upgrading immediately, but we will monitor the performance of the upgraded one, only when residents are confident with it, then we will go for upgrading of another lift, this time should take much shorter time, as some of the wiring which the vendor has done earlier, are actually for both lift, so if the process is smooth then can be 3 weeks, but as we have learned from the the past, it's better not to give false hope, anywhere we told him, this time we can only tolerate maximum one month...

so, we will still be praying for the smooth upgrading process throughout the 2nd lift upgrade, thanks.

General updates on various matters

few matters like to upda our beloved residents,

1) for those who read Chinese newspaper, maybe you guys have noticed few months ago our neighboring apartment had accused us causing their sewage piping clogged, they even brought YB & reporter to view their sewage manholes, and came out with the conclusion that some part of pipe in our side has collapse but without sufficient proof. But instead of arguing with them, we have asked our own contractor to check all our manhole, and found out it's all in good condition but we still ask our contractor to clear it again, just for in case. We even changing the pipe near the main entrance to solve the floor sinking problem even though it seems not related to their clogging problem, so by doing so it should have solved their clogging problem if their theory is right.

But unfortunately even after we have make sure our side is ok, their clogging problem got worse! so bad that some of their manholes even overflow & causing bad stinky smell at their 2 blocks which nearest to Vista Condo, so we were called by the MPPP, COB dept to attend the meeting on Friday, during the meeting we managed to convince them since all our manholes are clear then we should not be blamed for their clogging problem, but we will still arrange for the joint inspection to show them our manholes are clear, and we even willing to provide the access to IWK to go through our manholes to clear their manholes or repair their piping crack (in case) since no way anyone can go into their manholes since they are full of shit...., the purpose we update our residents concerning this issue is so that no one is misled by those false accusation...

2) abt the lift upgrade, lift vendor has finished all the jobs in motor room, all the wiring for the hall calling button, has perform fast speed test & calibrated the lift for every floor, every things seem ok now, but a little bug on the lift digital display wiring, so now they are rectifying the problem, according to them not a serious problem, and we still praying hard that they quickly settle this problem so our residents can start using it....

3) like to urge residents don't feed the pigeons, we will put up the notice for this matter, as now the pigeon have caused some problems here, their shit had dirtied the foyer & swimming pool, even for long run can damage residents owning at the balcony, the swimmers also feel not comfortable as these pigeons also shitting & drinking the water of our swimming pool, worry that they may have left some germs there too, but it's true that pigeons' shit is bad for health especially for kids playing at the foyer regularly, so if you know of anyone have been feeding the pigeon pls ask them to be more considerate & stop feeding any kind of birds.

thanks.

further update on lift....

as at 14/9/13

the vendor didn't manage to install the lift button on Thursday as they still lacking few parts & tools for that, but manage to get them ready on Friday & started the works of fixing the button at abt 4pm.

they drill hole, fix the device, configure the wire and use the same digital display, do it floor by floor, carefully but slowly too, to make sure not connecting the wrong wire, and until 1am in the Saturday early morning, still trying their best to complete it, but too bad, didn't manage to....

well, they will continue today (Saturday) and have informed us if all go smoothly then on next Monday, we can buy off this lift, but then we will rather see it as a possible but not target date, for we also worry that we may again disappoint blk k residents for giving false hope.

to be honest, we are not sure when the lift can be up for blk k residents, sometimes we also feel discouraged & overcame by negative thought like "why are we so keh poh (busy body) to upgrade the lifts, why not just leave it & let the next MC committee to find way to fix the lift problem", forgive us for this kind of thought because we are human too...

but one thing we are sure, we are at the end of the tunnel, the completion is at sight, and with God's help, we believe everything will be all right at the end :)

thanks....., will update further once info ready.

little updates on lift....

almost everyday we chase the vendor on the lift upgrade matter, so lastly this morning (sunday) he replied us with something more positive, in the sms sent by him, "Hari ni ada di vista condo..., i cuba test run hari ni..."

we have been crossing our finger praying almost everyday for this matter to be concluded soon, and everyday we got residents asking us "when ah?", of course they refer to when the lift can be ready for blk k resident to use, at first we just reply them like the vendor replied us, something like "going to be soon, maybe in few days' time will do the test run", but later on we found out it didn't happened, so now we also dare not to commit to residents abt any date, until today at least the vendor told us that there's a good chance he will test run the lift.

will the test run be happening today? we only can know by the evening, in another words if until night no one call us to witness the test run, then we got to again chase him for tomorrow, then after that will be day after tomorrow....we will continue doing that until we see it happen.

will update you guys as soon as we got news from him, pls be patient....

thanks.

update as at 10/9/13

the vendor has completed what need to be done in motor room on Sunday, test run the lifts few rounds, everything seems ok.

now they are arranging to install the hall calling button at each floor for residents to use both lift, which means 2 set of button for 2 different lifts, but this will be just a temporary arrangement, in the future when everything completed, there will be 1 set of calling buttons for both lift like what are we having now.

to install hall calling button will involve wiring job which need to shut down another lift for 1 to 2 hours, so we ask them to do it at midnight, so that it won't affect residents to use the lift during day time.

will update again when get further news, thanks.
