Births and Joys

Newborn
Visited mas's baby gal after work today. Whole kampung went down... me linda cm clarence lawrence and alan. Reb came soon after buying a gift from paragon. Sooooo cute her baby!~~ Name's Alyssa.. she's so tiny, yet her eyes are mega BIG. Pity couldn't snap a photo of her with eyes open. She was all woozy doozy when we arrived.

Carried the tiny tot in my arms and cute linda couldn't stop gushing and cooing over that little bundle. So when's ur turn huh linda? Grins.. pls dun diao me =P Yeah I admit I was fascinated by the baby too. Mas was clueless over how to carry her and 'handover' the baby. Eh think I carried her wrongly coz she started fidgeting and protesting in my arms. Sobs.

Birthday Lunch
Lunched with Stefan today. Heh despite this being his off day, haha. Well it's his birthday and I think that poor boy doesn't have anything to eat at home. Or he's just plain restless. Had the cheek to tell me he woke up at 1130! I wonder when can I do that...............

First friction
Bound to happen in times of stress. Had a mini run-in and misunderstanding with the gals today. They felt overloaded, and thought we're just gonna leave them to die. Lots of communication lacking in between management's intentions and their expectations. All wanted the best for the company, no doubt. But shit happens.

Officially accepted the role of managing CS and marketing two days back. Prior to this had no idea of what was promised before I came into the picture. Decided to take on the job since they're way overloaded and I wanted to learn new things, more things. Was starting to feel restless about two weeks back.

Pressing situation. Gal's leaving and her duties are superrr loaded. But not hired anyone yet. Thrown into real bad situation and had to seriously harden my heart. Best solution then was to split duties among us all while speeding up the hiring/screening process.

Faced with major reluctance and opposition and uncooperation. Was hurt cos I had assumed they'll gimme benefit of the doubt. That if I had a better solution, I wouldn't have proposed that at all. I had fought for them, screwed some people to get things going. But what did I get in return? I admit I was wrong to not have divulged what I had done for them. Hence the negative reaction and lack of support. They think I'm not on their side. But it's just not me to say this kinda stuff, it sounds like boasting or taking credit. Maybe I should change... People just don't naturally give others benefit of the doubt. You've to earn it yourself.

I was lucky. Found a suitable person and she'll be coming this morning to start work. At least some load off my mind. Just hope the gals appreciate what I've done and will do for them. Their interests and relationship with the management is my top priority now. Along with my marketing work and the new marketing exec who's coming in dunno-when.
