busy … August 22, 2008

Has been busy attending classes, trainings for my RE. It has been stagnaned for some time, however this time round, every tuesday we will have training and in this training there are a lot of role play.. Sigh… I hate this part.

I never was a public speaker. Whenever I have to present, even though I know everyone but my leg still wobbles and shaking inside. Geez.. you would have thought that I was in sales I would have gotten use to this.. But most of my sales are 1 to 1. So its so much different in coming to the front and do a presentation.

In this class we have to learn how to overcome objections, haven’t master it, so there will be more of such role play. Realing dreading for this, but when I think bout it, such lessons are very good. Will learn a lot from all these sessions.

Now till end of September, I have a target of 6k gross commission really wonder, how to reach that.. well.. looks like I have to try my best to achieve it! So anyone looking to buy/sell/rent their place (in Singapore, I mean)?

Commitment.. August 12, 2008

This week I have a series of training to go, however today lesson will determine if we are to continue with the rest of the training session. But then, from the lesson that I had, I am not sure if I am qualified to continue.

From November till now, my zero has not been broken as yet. But then, I have to admit that I did not really put much effort on it. I think it is about time I really put the commitment in and to really go into the industry.

There a lot of things that I need to do and to learn. If I had then the lesson earlier will not be like a drilling session or more into a buttering session.. But it is something that I have to learn how to overcome and had learn quite a bit from that short session.

Opportunity is for us to look for it and not just waiting for them to come knocking on your door. Oh man.. it is going to be tough ahead and I really have to start reading news and to really understand how the property works and not just on the procedures of both buying and selling.

Cheapo.. August 4, 2008

                                                   

 

Now that economic is not at their peak and US is having recession. Even though Singapore  economy is still doing ok but prices has been going up, the price of oil and then due to the increase in oil, the prices for food and transportation has been increased. Therefore now with the increase of prices, we were advise to save money for the upcoming bad times.

Yes, we do save and spend only necessary. But you spend within your means. Normally I am quite a patient person. But I really cannot stand and easily lost my patience for people who keep going saying that this expensive, that expensive when they already know the prices if they go to a certain place to eat and normally such comments comes from people who earn a lot..Yes yes.. they might have more commitment, but then if you think it is expensive to go there to eat.. then you don’t need to join us right? I would rather they don’t join us and spoilt our meal by joining us but when open the menu, start commenting this so expensive la.. that so expensive la.. It is not everyday you eat there, its once a long while we go there to eat.

Sometimes, I really cannot stand such people.. everything so expensive.. very little thing so expensive. I really have enough. Everyone also knows that things are expensive, but it is the matter how you budget yourself. We have a cafeteria that we are able to eat there for free, which occationally I will do there and some don’t..  due to the poor quality of food or the smell. But then if you it is very low class to eat there then stop complaining that eating outside is expensive! They want eat in a more nicer environment or classier place, then you have to pay for it! urgh..

I find that Singaporean has the tendancy to bargain, no matter what they MUST bargain. Even though they are using the company money they still bargain.. ok ok.. maybe the more bargain they get their bonus get more… They really expect everything to be given to them free with a minimal rates. Sometimes just feel like telling them, if they do not have the means, then don’t come to a 5 star resort! Even some companies with only 15 rooms and only staying for 1 night, they think it is a very huge group and keep asking for discounts and freebees.. while another company has 50 rooms staying for the entire week did not even demand so many freebees. Geez! Get real man.. if you want everything to be free then they are free to build their own hotel where they can get everything for free.. or they can hold their event in the field or the beach where the grass or sand is free, the air is free, the sea water is free. Really cannot stand such cheapo people! Want to have the best and only want to pay so little. So sorry man.. it doesn’t work that way… We don’t run a charity organzation.. but sad thing.. is they never get it.. sigh..

Image.. August 3, 2008

Ever experience in some days you see yourself at the mirror and start critisizing on your own images, it might be hairstyles, dressings, and for ladies – make up. That’s when sometimes it is time to do some change.

Eventhough I have changed my hairstyle, I think my next step is to slowly change my waredrop. Sometimes, have the impulse to just donate all my clothes and start to buy new ones. But, it is not practical and I do not have the resources to do so.

Most likely I have to do it gradually. But then again, that’s the fun part about life. It keeps changing whether its regarding to our images, our careers and of course our thoughts. It is the matter how we adapt to all these changes. As what some people says, the constant thing in our life is changes.

Eventhough I don’t feel that I am old.. hei.. I haven’t reach the 3 O yet.. but to me that is just a number that kept on adding year after year. Its not a big thing. It is the matter how you look into it. Too much emphasis/importance has been put into our age.

What does it matter, even though yes, I don’t admit I am old but in the way of dressing, sometimes we have to dress to our age. Now, I will try to wear a more stylist, more modern clothes, no more cartoon clothes..or too techno kind of clothes.. Hmm.. like as though I know a lot of fashion like that.. haha.. which I mostly do not really pay attention to the latest trend or brands for that matter… I am not those who go for the current phrase but I go for those that looks nice on me and I am comfortable in.

I find dressing is more into what reflect yourself and not to dress just to follow the trend. If the trend does not suit you or when you wear them and not comfortable, why torture yourself? Is trend so important that you ignore your personal comfort?

Some people goes for brands – prada, gucci, Louis Vuitton for bags, or Versage, Armani for clothings, Estee Lauder for cosmetics. All these brands which I know nuts about it, I do not go for these brands as my lifestyle is not sophisticated enough to be able to carry such brands. I am just a simple girl who goes for simple taste.

Now, ever since I cut my hair, I have many positive feedback from my colleagues, boss and even clients. Even though since young till college, I have been having short hair, when I went to university in oversea, I have long hair till recently. I always have impression that long hair is much more ladylike and short hair is much more boyish. But since I had experience both, with my character, I think short hair still suit me better as I don’t really style my hair and like the less fuss the better.

It is always fun to change and hearing feedback from friends or colleagues may it be good comments or not. Then only you will learn what suits us and not, even though the worse critic is ownself! Well as long we are able to accept who we are, who cares what other people think right?
