Act the part and you are the part

Talking like I know what I'm talking is one of my fortes. Well S*M*U sure trained most of us to be at least marginally well versed in that. It's like basic survival skill for school.

As a favour to my china ex-colleague, I met up with her classmate who's here in Singapore doing a M*asters in R*eal E*state. He needed some help for his project which he's doing as an intern with one of those big bro investment banks. And yes I have met his MD before.

So throughout dinner and post dinner (I declined his invitation to hang out with his friends) was all about hotels, asset management, land, more hotels, exotic locations and blah.

Now he thinks I'm like an expert. He's hoping one day I'll go hang out with his fellow colleagues and big boss. :S

I better go read up more. As one of the famous quotes given by one of my professors back in school goes:

"In school, it's perfectly normal to smoke your way through. But when you are in the corporate world, you are allowed to smoke as well. The difference is this time round, make sure you have one big fire burning down there."

How very true.
