Morning at the office - this guy (prop agent) was talking with someone on the phone. He was saying,
"No.. property agent 'bu xing' de (cannot). I am an agent myself and I can tell you, agents are not honest.
He can't be honest to both side of clients. He has to pick one side coz if he tries to be honest to everyone, he won't close any deal."
Maybe the person on the other side was goign to ask her child to become or to marry a property agent =)
It has been an intense battle every day. And I am constantly finding myself, torn and tempted.
But it's something I do with fire in my belly.
I have NO intention to be prop agent forever. And that's why I need to learn and complete this mission fast!
Ganbarre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Late afternoon- stupidly leading Rancu, her mum and Nisa's mum to cross a street while the pedestrian sign is 'red'. So this police officer with 'kayu' face called us over and wrote down our particulars. Conversation took place, and like any other Singaporean officer, he insisted on fining us.
Out of my kind intention, I told him that my address in NIRC was not updated and I wanted to tell him the new add so he can send the fine detail. Guess what he said?
He thought I was trying to trick him, gave me that sinister smile (which looked super dumb to me) and said
"We are only following the add in your NIRC, you can be fined for failure to update your address bla bla bla bla".
I tried to explain that it was the ICA that told me I dun have to update my card, coz I have updated their database. But he insisted that he wouldn't write down my new add and keep questioning why I haven't updated my NIRC. I mean.. what's the problem with taking down both add?
When I was trying to park 'my' van at dian's place, we also faced the same problem with the security guard. The ultimate 'kayu' mindset of Singaporean!!
OH my goodness... I wonder how Singapore could ever be this prosperous with this kinda people. Honestly..
