And I thought that I have a manageable workload.. Got a sudden assignment.. Have to key in a year’s worth of sales listing into excel for a meeting on monday.. Woah.. And I was complaining to Eugene that I always finish one day of work in half a day.. Retribution bah~~
Of cos it does not include all the sales listing.. Only a specific portion.. But can’t say it out as it is not a done deal.. I think I am reaching the efficiency that I had during NS.. Day in day out.. Have to type lots and lots of data.. Quite proud of it..
Although the things I am doing down got to do with valuation.. Presently all the stuff that I doing now is the preparatory work.. All the data, information, research that a valuer have to do before they actually embark on a valuation.. Valuation is not taking a piece of paper, write some stuff on the form and tick some boxes.. You have to do search on the caveats, check out for comparables, look at the floor plan for any modifications.. So much stuff to do.. All these are for the valuation that we are more familiar with.. There is still industrial land valuation, tax valuation, hotel valuation, commercial building valuation, retail building valuation and the list goes on..
Went for the auction held by Jones Lang LaSalle @ Arama Hotel.. It is not my first auction but I must say that it is much better than the first one that I went to.. The first one was at M Hotel, should be by Knight Frank.. The one by Knight Frank was quite automated.. Not much interaction by the staff and attempts to try to encourage sales..
一分钱，一分货..
The people from auction said that the market is cooler now compared to last year.. Last year was a hot hot year where you can have 2 auctions in a month.. Where properties from various genres were being sold at a price above valuation and opening price.. It’s interesting to know that auctions are held differently in various part of the world..
Eg, France hold their auction by candles.. One standard size candle.. Notches are being cut on it equally, depending of the number of item being auction.. Means that if there is 5 items, the candle will be divided into 5 part.. Interested parties have to bid for their item before the part allocated on the candle burn out.. Highest bidder before the notch burn out will get the item.. Of cos it has to be above the opening price.. If Joseph hadn’t tell me, I would have never knew.. Feel so SUA KU now..
Joseph and Weiming will be leaving for an overseas assignment tuesday night and won’t be back by the following week.. But that does not mean that I do not have work to do.. Joseph will send me email on what research he requires over there and so that means there is work for me to do.. 
DnD is so close now.. 29th May.. And I have to work.. Sigh.. Hope that I do not have lots of work to do on that day.. As I intend to rush home and drive to Marriot Hotel.. It takes me 1 hr to reach home.. Think another 15 mins for me to change and freshen up.. Have to rush down to Marriot Hotel before 7pm.. Not forgetting Dar Dar.. She’s coming along with me.. After her work at 545pm.. She got plenty of time to shop before 7pm.. Not possible for her to come home and change.. So she will have to bring everything to work.. Still have not finalize what I want to wear on that day.. Moulin Rouge is the theme.. But for guys? Haiz~~
