Steamboat Dinner – with Ling Ling; an ex-colleague from the French. I remembered that we didn’t get along well initially when I joined the company in 2008 because I find her to be too blunt, harsh to the max and didn’t know when is the occasion to be confrontational or non-direct. But her intentions were pure, her actions were for the good of the company. It never was about the individual or the people, it was always on the work itself. She made such a strong and positive impression on me that I remember thinking at that time – you know what, we don’t really have to give a damn to what other people thinks or perceive about us as long as we are doing what is right. There is no black or white, only grey areas. Every decisions and actions have it's own consequences; both positive & negative, just choose one that is favorable and manage it :) We talked a lot last night; of course the issues were regarding the current situation of the French, her current dilemma where her Director would like to replace her, Juan Carlos is being investigated for overbuying, the out of stock issues, the overstock problems, the in-coming containers and many more. We also share many stories about our current going-on’s. Old stories, beautiful stories, sentimental stories, things that make us laugh, things that make us marvel, things that remind us of our favorite places…oh, the list just goes on. She is so expressive that I feel enlightened & rejuvenated by just talking to her.
