END OF 3 MONTH INTERNSHIP!


today marked the end of 3 months of shuffling from site to site. worked for a property management company that have a portfolio of properties under them. the upside is that i get to visit buildings with different uses, e.g. industrial, retail, office and experienced the intricacies of managing each type. the downside is that as soon as i get used to journeying to a certain place, i get plucked right out of my comfort zone and have to adjust to travelling to another place all over again. in my final stint, the work site was at pasir panjang. the most important lesson i've taken away from the internship is that travelling to and fro hougang and pasir panjang during the rush hour every day is no joke.


jokes aside, i learned a lot from the mentor whom i was attached to, and also from one of the directors of the company. am grateful for them being ever patient, even though sometimes i may be slightly slow on the uptake. cant blame a jc kid for being too theoretical and law-by-law right.

gained much knowledge regarding the property management aspect of the real estate business. next year, i hope to venture into the finance/valuation side of real estate, and hopefully work for a REIT (real estate investment trust) or a valuation company.

what i've lost in youth i've gained in wisdom?

off to putra for a short getaway. time to get my sexy holiday back.
