Sk8 – Hi Reissue

Liverpool 0 - 2 Chelsea :(
We lost to a B Team.
Well...that's it...we can only secure the number 2 spot.
The EPL crown will be handed back to Manchester City.
Nonetheless, GREAT JOB to THE REDS.
This is by far the best season ever :)
YNWA!

GOrun Ride 3

Hmm…strange…I don’t know how Baldwin finally knew about Ursula’s Germany trip. When Ursula was away that week, Baldwin kept on asking me where was Ursula. I just told Baldwin that Ursula was on leave. I have no idea where she went. Now, I have no idea how Baldwin manage to find out. Did Ursula told Baldwin? Baldwin asks me what did Ursula got for me. I just said that Ursula only got me a box of chocolates. Baldwin replied back – that’s good. Ursula quite sayang you what…then I told Baldwin, I think Ursula got it for everyone as well. I am sure Shawn & Gerrard’s portion are even bigger than mine :)

Ursula: Who is your favorite supplier?
Me: None.
Ursula: Why not?
Me: Don’t see a reason to have one.

Of course, I have my very own favorite supplier…I just didn’t want to tell Ursula at that point of time :) Let her guess…by telling Ursula…what if she boycott against them or what if she cross-check things with them. I know…I have always said that it is very important for the bosses to know what is going on…even including those hanky-panky ones…but this is an exceptional case…let Ursula do some work here :) I have been very transparent with Ursula on many matters, so once in a while…I think its ok not to deliver everything to her on a silver platter. Besides, Ursula also called up to my supplier but also didn’t own it up to me…it was my supplier who informed me about this matter later on.

OMG – this Ursula…both Ursula & myself have 1 thing in common. The both of us are very lousy drivers, we are slow drivers as well and we don’t know how to park our cars properly. To solve this parking problem – Ursula’s solutions is to take the car to a jockey service or put it at the car wash. OMG!

where the jackal lopes play

I also kepo with Paige – how is Ursula actually like; as in person :) I hope Paige will not share this conversation of ours with Ursula...otherwise...I'm doomed :)

(1) Ursula do not have any favorite buyer but she trust Shawn a lot because the two of them shares the same wavelength and their working styles are very similar.

(2) Gerrard is Ursula’s dark star. Ursula is very scared if Gerrard is angry or upset with her. Ursula actually scared of offending Gerrard. Yet Ursula cannot touch Gerrard because Garrard performs very well on the job. Gerrard delivers & performs spectarcularly.

(3) Paige is not sure whether Christy has any issues with Ursula or not but for sure this Ursula has issues with Christy. Ursula has too many opinions on Christy.

(4) When I mention to Paige that Christy used to be Ursula’s pet where Ursula will do everything for Christy – Paige told me that is because Christy never do anything, so therefore Ursula have to step in and do everything on Christy's behalf. Once Ursula also ask Paige what is Christy actually doing…working so late everyday and coming in to work on every Saturday as Paige is also working so late and comes in on every Saturday as well. Ursula is very baffled...Christy spent so many hours in the office yet the work that Ursula have given to Christy is not being accomplished. Somemore, Ursula have to do Christy's work...so, what is Christy actually doing the whole day in the office then?

(5) Without me – Ursula can still hold the fort very well and still can survive it all.

(6) I told Paige that there are classic examples of previous case studies like in the case of Pietro – Paige’s only advise is – if really were to die – die honorably & grandly.

(7) Paige told me, to just be myself. The reason being is that I am very confused with Ursula. On one hand, Ursula said that I am not highly motivated to speak out, on another hand when I does voice out, she ask me not to menyampuk her pula.

(8) Ursula is very ambitious – she wants the GM position. Paige said that both Marcus & Ursula have the capability, both are very business-savvy, well versed in business management – however when it comes to people management, Marcus may have the upper hand compare to Ursula. And Paige also feels that every team members of the division will prefer Marcus over Ursula. Celtic have also pointed out that Marcus may be the most likely successor. Marcus has done the Homeware Department and currently leading the Textile Department. The General has also park the Promotion Team under Marcus as well.

(9) Paige also laugh that Ursula sometimes do things – also do the wrong one :)

(10) Paige feels that Ursula spoils her daughters too much. Maybe because Ursula doesn’t spend enough time with them, thus Ursula will spoil them with material stuffs to compensate them. Her daughters are like the mother while the actual mother is playing the daughter’s role. Paige feels that, if Ursula is having such a leadership style at home, at work, should be no difference at all.

breaking through the freedom

I kepo with Paige on Thursday; over lunch @ Coffee Bean, asking Paige how is Sabrina currently doing. Since earlier on, Sabrina have mentioned to Paige that Sabrina gets the necessary help from Shawn but not from Gerrard in the hand-over process. Paige said that Sabrina has a very good offer previously, but since Sabrina is still around, that means that Sabrina did not take up the offer and decides to stay put after all.

My Total Girly Party In Singapore

Ursula brought out this topic – why is it so difficult to get the oil supplier to close the contract? Why it takes such a long time to create a new item code for the oil? I know that Ursula is talking about Christy – but I also terasa here because there is a double meaning to it – why am I so slow as well. Ursula knows what are my plans are, which target that I have identified to attack…but somehow…it was all talk…and no actions yet. I am just so clever to talk non-stop, but I am lousy at doing the actions part out. Sigh…nonetheless, I also told Ursula that there is one word to describe my current emotions right now…which is...GRATEFUL…because Ursula could have scold, yell, scream, chase after me for the many unfinished work…but she haven’t done anything yet…but I guess it will be anytime soon. Ursula also told me that she is thinking of when to over-write me. Should she do it or not? I know that...if Ursula does over-writes me...I am no longer be valuable in Ursula's eyes anymore...I will lost my market value for sure...I will be worthles and I will just be like Christy. A second Christy, as a matter of fact.

I was out with Ursula on last week Friday for a market survey. We went to Mydin USJ first, then finally head over to Sunway Pyramid to check out on the Popular Bookstore, Aeon and Daiso. So, on the way there – Ursula ask me whether I have a BF or not? I told Ursula – Boss, our relationship is not there yet, so I am not going to share the details with you at the moment. Ursula chuckle loudly and said – that means no lah. I answer back – if I say yes, you will ask me the second, the third & the fourth question, which I did not want to answer. If I am going to get married, no worries, I will give you my wedding card. This Ursula is so kepo.

I don’t want to feel pressured to get married or have kids if I don’t want to. What makes one person happy doesn’t make everyone happy. I think at this stage of my current situation right now – I won’t be surprise that I will choose to stay single and childless. Nonetheless, I will also choose to live a happy and fulfilled life. Do what feels right for me :)

Ursula asked me – is buying stocks worth a total of USD180K a lot? I know that amount is not coming from Shawn, Gerrard or Sabrina’s department. For sure, it comes from the Auto/DIY category. Probably, The General throws the question to Ursula or is questioning on Ursula's buying judgement. I hope Ursula is not in trouble with The General again. Even Barry pointed out that The General favors both Marcus & Leonardo very much. Because Barry is not being favored by The General, that is why Barry got the transfered. Celtic thinks that Marcus will be the next GM because The General has given Marcus opportunities after opportunities to perform in the division.

My answer stuns Ursula. I ask Ursula back – is your current stock level healthy? Is your current stock level correlate with the department sales? I told Ursula, looking at my current sales situation, my stock value should be at RM12 million or less, but now the stocks figures is stacking up to RM15 million which is not healthy at all. In the end, Ursula did not mention to me which department, only stated that everything is healthy and on the right track – then I mention, if that is the case – ok lah :) Celtic said, maybe this Ursula is testing me...whether I dare or not to answer her back and also to see how good I am in articulating my views.

Ursula also shared with me that the new in-coming CEO is most likely to look into our stock value, tackle the fresh department and re-manage the marketing department.
