Walk Straight, Walk with me, You'll Never Walk Alone

This is a story from Dennis Yong.

When he was in China, he has to learn the culture of each and every state, provinces etc. So when it comes to crossing the road, he was shocked to learn that in order to reach the other side, the local Chinese just walked straight, without looking left or right.

The moral of the story is: Many times in our life, we tend to look left or right instead of looking in front towards our goal, so we lose focus and was detoured from our path. We should learn this attitude from the Chinese; when we set a goal, just walk straight towards it, stay focus and never look left and right.

The other part of his story goes like this: He saw that a car initially from the inner most lane was slowly switching lanes and it is obvious that the driver is making a U-turn. All he did was to cautiously change lane and change direction. The best part of the story is the driver finally managed to make the U-turn but was at the outer most lane! Amazingly, the on-coming car not only did not crash into him, but slowed down and let the u-turn driver filter to join the opposite direction cars.

Moral is: We must stay focus and sharp at the same time. The circumstances and situation changes rapidly, so we have to adept to changes and react positively to it; much like the on-coming driver who slowed down his vehicle so as to adept to the changes instantly.

Cheers and Live with Passion!

Sell Out at Kovan Melody

Kovan Melody has sold out its 778 units today!

Having a strong draw of buyers for its location - Next to MRT, amenities, shopping centre, hawker food centre and hundreds of convenient shops, it is without a doubt an owner's dream to own a property with so much in value. In addition, Kovan Melody has a unique feature that adds a safety element to the all. With all these benefits, it is no wonder every home owner is attracted to this development.

Now that all units are sold, one can only watch with envy when it comes to property appreciation in value - a handsome sum of around $60,000 - $100,000.

Thanks Be To GOD!

Property Investment

The article ("Good time to invest in S'pore real estate: Minister" ST Apr 11 2007) is a big boost for Singapore property market. With foreign companies investing $5.4 billion in 2006, it clearly shows our economy is structurally and fundamentally strong.

With such strong confidence in the Singapore economy, we can see more foreign investors snapping up Singapore properties by the "bulk". A Chinese investor just did that by purchasing a whole block of 10 units of a new luanch development in Balmoral / Stevens Road area, amounting to $52 million.

The ripple effect for the rise in property price is also felt in the mass market condominiums. Kovan Melody located just next to the exit of Kovan MRT, has enjoyed an appreciation of 10%-12% since its launch in 2004. With the economy staying strong, I can only imagine further appreciation in property prices for this development. For the investors in Kovan Melody, they are enjoying a return of around 5%, and forseable higher return in years to come.

Good Investment!

New Year new targets

2007 came and out went 2006. Time to reflect and make new goals for the year.

2006 was a decent year. I had improved in my deals, which translate to having more money. Hooray! But on the other hand, I had also learnt the hard way of not managing myself, my expences, my money properly. But all these are in the past, now time to plan for the year...

2007 Targets:
i) personal goal - do better in managing myself, my expences, and my money!
ii) sales goal - 5 cases a month for next 12 months
iii) team goal - groom my new members to become a highly respectable professional realtor.
