Firstly, I would like to thank Ngee Ann Polytechnic for providing me with this opportunity to go out into the working world to experience it first-hand and gain knowledge and exposure which you cannot get in a classroom.
Secondly, I would like to express my gratitude towards my internship supervisor and Condominium Manager, Mr Mohamed Dainil, for supporting me throughout this process. I am grateful that he tried his best to help and teach me what he can about this industry. Watching how he undergoes his duties has taught me a lot even just by observing.
I would also like to thank my other colleagues from Abacus, those who I have met from Forestville briefly before transferring, and my other colleagues at Parc Vera, for helping me integrate into this new environment.
Thirdly, I would like to thank Mr Royston Chong, Executive Director of Abacus Property Management, for giving me this opportunity to experience working in this company for my internship.
Lastly, I want to thank my Ngee Ann Polytechnic Internship Supervisor, Ms Chin Siet Choo, for giving me advice and listening to my worries and for being understanding about my circumstances during this internship.
Along with anyone else who was not named, I am thankful to those who have aided me in anyway throughout my 22 weeks.
