More headaches..

It has been almost a year since i moved to this condo but the problems never stopped coming in. Every now and then, there will be some unexpected issues.

This morning, i was doing my weekly conference call in the living room. The call lasted for one and a half hour, so my eyes wandered around a lil around the condo. Trying to capture the picture in my head, so to speak. And that was the beginning of another nightmare.

There was an air bubble line on my wall, from top to bottom until the telephone socket. How the hell did that happened? I never saw that before! And the wall was still smooth last weekend when my frens came over and complimented the nice color of the wall, specifically.

If u ask me, it looks like a crack. But it could be a water leakage from upstairs. Either way, i am worried that the condition might get worse. I hate things like this coming up at the very last minute when the 18 months warranty period is going to end next month. And i am about to leave the country until the warranty is over. Could it be any worst? *grrr*

But u know what, things always happened at the wrong time. It is just very frustrating.

So i spent the whole day complaining about the air bubble on the wall to the management office, followed up with them regarding my complain 3 weeks ago about the minor water leakage in my bathrooms (yes, they havent started any action yet) and done a few rounds of checking on my other walls in the condo. I am not too confident about their quality of works now...

One of the management officers came up a short while after my complain - to do a preliminary check to identify the actual cause. I think it is a waste of effort because they could just call the contractor to come up and look at it and then fix it all at once. I guess they dont believe all the aunties and uncles who just happened to complain about everything unnecessarily.

"Hmm, this is not a crack la.."
"So is this a water leakage? It looks like bubble, maybe water bubble?"
"No, there is no water pipe along that wall."
"Then why is that happening?"

The guy started to brief me about science...

"U know that all objects will shrink at night and expand during the day? Same goes to the wall. And ur paint is better quality one where u can wipe away any dirts on it, rite?"
"Yea.."
"So it has one type of chemical which will act like a rubber on the surface. When the wall expands, the wall could change shape or direction a little bit. That is why the paint was pushed up and creating the bubble line. U know.. like ur clothes when u push it to each other."
"So u are saying that this is not a crack or a water leakage, but just something that normally happens.."
"Yup, u are right."

He was about to leave when i pointed a small dent of the bubble line..

"What about this? It looks like a hole here..."
"Oh.... I think u have a crack on your wall. Let me file a complain for the contractor to come and fix it."

*what?!*oh my god*

That is how they do their work.. imagine if i didnt notice that small little spot. T_T
