Life is indeed exciting

When you think every have fallen into places, that when problem starts staging a fightback.

a) Tendancy
Treeline tenants terminated the tendancy agreement prematurely in start of May. The only bright spot is we confiscated the one month security deoposit. We have a tight deadline to meet to get tenants here by 1st June. We engaged Margeret and a noobie Rainie. Initially, it was demoraling to hear them that they only market as 2bedrm and the price is 3.3-3.5k. Thoughts of wrong buy comes to our mind. Have we make a wrong move. To be truthful, we are not confident of Rainee, we even thoughts of terminating her. To our surprise, she bought a lot of viewers within a week. Now everything is settled. We managed to find tenants thanks to Rainie. As for Margeret, I think she probably never even market at all. Through these, we have learnt to be patient and finding a rookie agent may not be a bad idea.

b) Car Insurance
When I received a email from the agent, I was shocked at the price. It was lower than last year! I was anticipating a NCD of 0% and increase in the premium due to the accident with a taxi last year. It was a 50-50 case. I ask the agent to ask MSIG again to re-confirm and they got back to say the case was won as they made 3rd party claims from the taxi's insurance. In the end, my NCD is 20%. It was a welcome surprise. There was a period of time that we were comptemplating to transfer the car ownership to Fiona instead as we thought we will lose the case.

c) Tooth Problem
I hate to vist the dentist as each  visit will put a dent to my pocket. True enough, after yesterday visit, they quoted me $1.8k for a rool canal treatment and crowning. I was shock as I remember vividly I did the same thing for $300-500 donkey years back. Luckily, there was no slot on that very same day. It gave me ample time to do some research and look out for alternatives. I manage to find a $1.2k one but I have to endure till 4 days after.

Mix feeling

As I walk towards the UBI driving centre bus stop on my last day, I have mix feeling. I felt emotional about leaving a company where I truly make my mark and grown up. Farewell CAE! The CAE now is far off from the one I enter but it is still a place where I spent the best part of my working life. It is by far the toughest but the most fulfilling. With due respect to NUS, ITE, although they are much bigger their working environment really sucks.
