went for my first viewing as a part time property agent today,

thomas couldn’t make it so i was supposed to go alone, the only thing that made me relived was that the people viewing the houses are my relatives.

intended to take 198 all the way to queensway before walking over to anchorage but the bus took so damn long to turn up and i was running late, ended up alighting near bona vista mrt and took a cab over.

reached there just minutes before my cousin came with his wife and parents.

the first house was smaller at 1550 square feet and on a low floor but had a little glimpse of the swimming pool. i was actually told this unit had a nice pool view but the house was so far from the pool you couldn’t see shit.

the place was actually quite cramp and the masterbed room size was about the size of my own room..pathetic!

and yet they were asking for around sgd $2.2 million.

could see in my aunt’s eyes that she wasn’t really interested in the place.

went for a 2nd viewing in another block, a bigger unit at 1770 square feet and on the highest floor, the place was so nice i fell in love with it myself.

it was newly renovated and the couple staying were migrating to the states so they were letting go below market value…

just a little above sgd $1.8 million.

in terms of value for money, the 2nd unit was much more worth, the only bad thing about the unit was that the living room and the 2 bigger rooms had windows facing the west which means the hot afternoon sun.

my uncle seem very much more interested as he went from room to room with beaming eyes.

i quickly called my mom to see if she was interested too and my aunty was praising the place like crazy so my mom was very curious on how the place was.

was supposed to meet colin in town after the viewing but as it turns out, my aunty and uncle wanted a 2nd look at the place while waiting for my mom.

managed to get the agent right before he left to stay for a while longer while my mom came to look at the place and for my aunty and uncle to go through the place 1 more time.

it was almost 5pm by the time we were done so decided not to meet colin since he was coming back as well so i went to meet thomas who had just finished viewing another few houses for his other client.

met another cousin, melvin, while we were roaming around looking at cars. he was there with his biker friends doing goodness knows what.

took a cab back after that since i was tired and sleepy.

tried to sleep a little when i got back but heard the gong on my computer and realised that clan wars on battle stations has started.

my new clan, rawr, managed to sink 4 bases and was still able to survive the onslaught…this shows the power of my new clan which, after today, is the number 1 ranked clan in battle stations with the most war points.

agreed to play a little badminton later with aaron and weisiang but we ran out of shuttlecocks so asked trond to donate some.

he’s on his way over right now as i’m typing this to go for some supper and to discuss about the project that i’m helping him with.

will blog more about the badminton session either later when i get back (i doubt so) or tomorrow when i’m back in trond’s office.

oh and by the way, i’ve decided not to get the new laptop now and wait for the new macbooks and macbook pros to be released before making a decision.

the new macs should be released by june/july and that’s when i get my commission anyway if my aunty agrees to buy the apartment.
