Citylights, Jellicoe Road

Almost lost a deal yesterday to a yet another unscrupulous agent from CLS who told me to get my comm from my buyer and refused to work with me for her unit! (After closing the deal, I smsed her saying my buyer has bought another studio there and prolly work with her another time lol)

With God's blessings, i closed the Citylights deal with my buyer. Many thanks to all the UOB, OCBC, Citibank Mortgage Specialists who gave in to all my demands :p

Won't be talking about any more deals unless it's really interesting - dun wanna bore u all with my work ; )

If you love me only in my dreams, let me be asleep forever..

Once, a friend of mine told me that his greatest love will always be his ex gf and that no one could ever replace her. If she were to come back to him, he doesn't know what he'll do with his current gf..

Emotional baggage-destroys any chance of finding happiness.

It didn't work out for the both of you and that you have given your all. But now that you are in a new relationship, isn't it time to let go off the past?

If you’re still looking for your former flame’s new photos on facebook/waiting for her to come online @ MSN, if you're still sore when you see her with her new guy, you’re not ready to “move on.”

You need to make peace with the end of your relationship before you can devote your time and emotions to someone else.

Things left behind from the past - photographs, letters, plane/train/bus tickets.. emails, fb messages.. smses.. what are u thinking of as u are keeping all of those?

That one day, if your ex were to come back to you - that you could show her all those stuff you've been keeping, proof that you never quite got over her so u could start things afresh?

The talk about the ex- Never bring up your ex when you're out with the current partner. It doesn't interest him or her to know where both of you used to go and how u both have ur 'fun'.

It hurts to think that you're thinking of someone else when you're there right by our side. So near yet so far..

Maybe all those things left behind wouldn't matter if its apparent that they meant nothing to you. However, it's just different if it looked like you never quite gotten over her..

One day, we'll get tired of trying.. we'll hope that you'll find your very own happiness..

"If you love me only in my dreams, let me be asleep forever."

How to stop that roving eye?

Humans are naturally drawn at all things beautiful: scenery, art, mind.. and yes, women! Don't get me wrong, it's perfectly normal to look at a beautiful woman who's walking down the street.. who wouldn't? Heads a-turning, mouths a-gaping, sensations erupting.. but it's just different when the look turns into an orgle (and u fall short of having ur tongue roll out as carpet for tt lady to walk on)

The Azure, Sentosa Cove

Haven't been updating my blog lately as was caught up with work.. the hp rings by the minute. My right ear is fried : ( Perhaps that explains the recent bout of migraine.

It was so severe once when i was driving to Sentosa -i could not even keep to my lane. I had panadols for 4 consecutive days. I do hope it ain't a tumour lol..

Love the job, the recent deals (wasn't expecting much from economic downturn) but not the weather nor the pressure from external sources..

More importantly, i finally closed the million dollar deal for Sentosa Cove to a direct buyer *grins* The 3 late nights, midnight errands and hrs of negotiation paid off ; )

In finding your dream home

Once, a painful lesson taught me that i could be better off being somewhere else doing anything other than being in the civil service-something more appropriate for a lady like me.

Sincere advice don't always work-we all usually get the wake-up call from bad experiences.

I left the comforts of the civil service (forsaking 35 days leave, 12 days study leave, medical and dental allowances) and took on a job in the media industry, following my experiences in the public relations department.

The basic pay was high and commission was pretty decent, but the people u work with and see in the media industry are rather complicated. Lotsa entertainment, drinking and one can feel blood pressure rise as high as the mountains each time the topic was on how to super exceed sales targets.

Alternatively, i love real estate. Everyone was urging me to go into HDB as the 'market is not gd'. I only had the passion to do private property and glad i went with my gut feeling.

I find myself falling in love with the rustic feeling of old, cosy condos and am in awe pleasantly and mostly impressed with the luxurious beauty of the new condos.I wish to buy such pretty homes for myself one day.

The job:
Nevermind the endless explaination to concerned home buyers that "there are not a lot of Indians staying in City Square Residences and hanging around outside the condo". Indians/Banglas are also humans and they can be pretty helpful! Having witness couple of them Banglas giving up their seats on the train..

Nevermind the amusing agents that ask me if the Beacon has TOP (not only TOP, also 2nd owners, some of them), another joker told me he was an agent and claimed to be buying for his home-stay(refused to reveal company name-duh..).

Nevermind the unscrupulous external agents who try to undercut u, stalk ur buyers during viewing or eating ur fair share of the pie nor the buyers who wanna ask me out for meals or coffee and not work..

I entered the real estate industry because i wanted to do more for myself. Hope that i could provide more for the family and in setting up my own family in the near future-i wanna give my children anything i didn't manage to get in the past. The recent deals up my battery level and exceed my own expections with my income doubling that of the last job.

The real estate is really a lucrative career. I love meeting and talking to people and helping them find solutions. But, with the stress from external sources, it seemed to have taken a toll on me.

I wish that i could make people see that time, effort and expenses need to be put into this job, with a little of luck but not many see it that way. Us property agents' revenue are not measured by the no. of viewings should you not already know.

I find myself possibly giving up this trade which i like for the sake and pleasure of others dear to me.

Maybe i should get a regular 9-5 job, so that i will not be inferior in terms of how much CPF i have in my account if you deem so. Maybe it's just not meant to be..
