I didn’t know Eugene (Rabbit) also is interning there as well.. He’s at corporate service, part of a project group.. Quite impressed that he went to look for intern himself.. Rather than waiting for the department to source out for us.. Definitely I will go for another round of intern next year..
My work that ended at 415, after I went down to Melville Park in Simei for a valuation on-site inspection.. Thank goodness I didn’t have to go down to Woodlands after that for 2 more inspections.. My internship started off quite well.. I got things to do right after I reported.. Went for my first inspection.. Quite good actually as I get to travel from place to place and don’t have to stay in office in front of the laptop for the whole day..
Didn’t talk with the boss.. He’s always out on meetings.. Got a chit chat session with the 2nd man, Jeffery.. He gave me so much insight in valuation.. That I am having second thoughts about giving up valuation.. He also shared that our course is skewed so much towards finance that we are losing out our strategic advantage.. That is in real estate.. In the technical knowledge.. They teach us how to do cash flow.. How to do financing.. But they do not teach us now to identify what is the material of the building.. What is a corner terrace.. What is an end terrace.. What is MK.. What is the type of the finishing used.. It’s quite embarrassing in front of your clients, not being able to answer them all these questions.. It’s like a police officer not knowing how to fire their firearm..
I am quite lucky to got into valuation.. As it give me more insight and also understand that I want to do.. For my thesis.. For my future.. There isn’t much time left to make mistakes.. Mistakes at this time will be fatal.. Definitely I have to seize the opportunity..
This internship is definitely a good opportunity for me..
I went down to Admore Park to do a inspection.. WOAH~ 8-10 million per unit.. $3000 and over PSF.. Pretty place.. Great location.. Great view.. How can anyone afford that sia? But when I went in.. I was blown away.. But that got me thinking..
HOW?
How do one get there..
How do one get successful..
Got to work for it..
Got to fight for it..
Got to have it..
