I arrange for an early morning meet up with Allister over breakfast (his, not mine). We chat about site possession, Practical Completion and direct vendors, we also talk about LD and defects.
Later Leong and I visit the SPA to sort out our appeal for the condominium in Sibu. It looks like they will support our justifications. I explain the submission of 48 to Azizah.
Sam text me after lunch (broccoli, carrot and tofu omelette) and tells me our fees from 2022 is finally paid. I cannot figure out why there is such a delay in payment by this particular client. To my face he says he is happy with our work, he implies that 'management' might have different perceptions.
Later I find out that he is the top 'management'.
But I am relieved that it is finally over, we can move on. It was never the money, we have a healthy cash flow. It is the disappointment of having someone whom I held in high regard let us down. Since the beginning, we were watching out for his best interests and going the extra mile (to settle site issues, coordinate his direct vendors, the provide advice on technical and statutory requirements) Generally, treating him like a work partner or a friend.
Later that evening, we receive a notice of CPC inspection - another project coming to a close. This one is physical closure while the other one was financial.
Tennis in the evening 500-630pm
