BAD Workmanship!!!!

When i was picking up something in my kitchen last last friday, suddenly something caught my attention!!! what????!!! crack tiles??? tiles crack on my countertop??

crack countertop!! a small piece even dropped out!!

my goodness!! there's hole some more..
i can easily removed the tiles from
my countertop!!

What the hell?? i only moved in for half a year only ler, no banging no knocking, why suddenly cracked?? The next morning, we called the contractor and explained what happened, he almost forgot who were we after 6 months!!
C: cracked??
J: ya cracked, why will cracked one? nobody bang or knocked it also.. it just cracked like tat!!
C: told you guys not to use those made in china tiles, it will cracked one!!
J: hey, we are not using china tiles la!!
C: ..... not china made?
J: NO lar!! why cracked one...
C: then i think your countertop got stroke(zhong fong) la...
J: WHAAATTTT??? countertop kena stroke? cos of wat? high cholestrol?? what are you talking about??
C: ok lar, nvm lar, i come over and take a look...
stroke? what is that? both FL and me asking each other, what does he means when he said got stroke!! So a few days later, i purposely took a day off, sit at home and wait for his arrival.. he came in, looked at the cracked tiles, again, he asked.. china tiles ar? then i said, NO lar, not made in china one... then he knock knock knock, suddenly i heard a loud cracked sound, something inside the tiles cracked... he himself heard that too!!

after looking at the countertop for 5 minutes...
J: so how?
C: ok lar, i'll asked someone to come fix it..
J: how to fix?
C: got to remove all the tiles!!
J: what?? remove all? then we have to buy new tiles for all?
C: no lar, just buy for the cracked one, others we will just removed and redo...
J: when coming?
C: next week lar.. i'll call you..
and of cos, he did not call back, 2 days later, FL called him and he said will come on friday... then thursday the contractor called and said cannot, and postponed it to next wednesday, which is tomorrow!!

headache headache, redo, i have to clean my whole kitchen again!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!! i dono how he gonna removed my tiles, but i need to make some precaution.. to protect my cabinets, fridge and etc in my kitchen mar.. i moved all the small electric products out from the kitchen, everything that is not in the cabinet, i moved out!!

after two hours of hard work....

ya it's the workmanship problem. but then again, after all the stroke talk, he still willing to take the responsibilities to redo the whole countertop mar..

still can be forgiven lar. hehe, cos i heard other contractors will try to delay or postponed or just dun answer ur phone calls!!
