If I ever want to quit my current job and join a property development company, it would be SP Setia.
Visionary conception and masterful execution. They win hands down and in my opinion I don't see anything wrong with them trading at a premium to the rest of the players in the property sector.
Two grade-10 strength Ristretto Nespressos, 5 consecutive days of working (weekends included), plus an all-nighter where I wandered bleary eyed out of the office at 3am, thought the better of going home for only 3 hours sleep, and just walked over to the hotel next door and charged a night to the corporate card.
The pain is almost done, and I've got only about another million client calls to wade through, and then its the weekend.
The boss really knows how to pull the puppet strings. After I pulled yet another all-nighter, (a different one this time where I stayed out drinking whisky on the rocks with a bunch of clients til midnight and then was up presenting the next morning on the conference call with a hangover the size of the African continent) he came up to me and told me they decided to send me to Tokyo for a conference.
Tokyo. Conference. It's only the last word I'm happy about. It means I get to eat hotel food 5 times a day and spend the rest of the time lurking around the buffet table waiting for the next meal.
Well, I probably have to do an hour worth of moderating discussions, but hey. Beats ole Malaysia any time.
So now I am officially away the entire month of December. Will be going to all the major financial cities of the world - Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, Zurich, London and Paris.
If you're thinking "wah so lucky", don't.
I killed myself these 11 months for this, and half the time I still think it's not worth it.
