Friday is finally here, and its the end of my very short three day working week already! Thank goodness for Chinese New Year. Although I only started work on Wednesday, its starting to feel like I've been at this agency forever. I have to admit, when I first started, I thought the job would be dead boring and predictable. Fortunately, it is nothing like I imagined, and each working day is different from the next. The best part is, most of the staff are surprisingly women, so there is always gossip and laughter filling the office from 9-6 :)
So far, in the space of three days, I've been lucky enough to spend most of my office hours tagging along with my boss to various locations meeting developers, interior designers and architects. Yesterday alone, we visited over six different show suites so that I could get a better idea of what luxury living in Singapore is all about. Believe me, what they define as "luxury" property here, are places I could only ever DREAM about owning. Even the smallest studio apartment will cost me a cool million and much more! *sigh*
Planning the marketing materials for all these properties is not an easy task either. Just think how hard it is to convince someone through a silly brochure to part with more than $4 million of hard earned cash on a not-that-fantastic condo! My notebook has never been more full of nonsense words and adjectives I jot down to use on upcoming projects.
Overall, things are definitely looking up. Funny how working your butt off can magically boost your confidence and inflate your ego (in a good way hehe). Even though there are is a lot of running around with this job, getting mud on my shoes, and meeting corporate-type intimidating strangers on a daily basis, it looks like this could actually be something that suits me...and that is always good! In the next two weeks, I'll continue to visit new developments here in Singapore and soon... good ol' Johor Bahru! Haha. More on all of that very soon!
