Hanging out with the big boys
Having been to the Singapore Yacht Club before, i had high expectations of the Marina @ Keppel Bay.
I missed the opening of the bridge and the chance to meet up with the President that day as Old boy fell sick so when Senior decided to move our afternoon tea to the Marina, i took up the offer.
It was one of the Senior’s projects which he was extremely proud of and i could see why.
Small and exclusive, the entrance to the Marina @ Keppel Bay was hidden by the upcoming Reflections @ Keppel Bay project. The bridge linking up to the Marina was beautifully constructed and the whole thing was just aesthetically pleasing.
We took a quick tour of the Marina and the S$5.2 million docks. First ever dock all built in concrete, if i am not mistaken.
And then we went to the management office to meet up with the people who made the Marina happen.
I won’t say much but there are problems with the Marina that they are still trying to fix. Participating in discussions with the deal-makers have taught me the need to be more decisive. Especially with projects that deal with millions of dollars.
Assertiveness has never been easy for me, much less, being in the negotiation stages.
I don’t have the skill sets yet to broker huge deals but with a bit of help here and there, i guess i may get by.
Blog, in four years time, let’s see where i am.
