Okay, okay, here I am updating my blog...as per request from Adiejin.

Alot but nothing much happened last week (am I not making sense yet?). Alot as in, I am still doing too much things at a time at work and in the meantime juggling having a baby at home...nothing, as in, nothing REALLY eventful happened last week, besides having to apprehend a co worker for leaving her safe key in the safe when she left for the day (whats the use of a safe then?) and me becoming a punching bag to my boss and semi puching bag to the husband.

I am beginning to like my new position now. Things have settled with the new office. Everything and everyone is in the groove of things. Everyone starting to 'gel' now...getting along, understanding each other and learning to communicate in this small office.

I like the idea of being able to run the office without a manager lurking around (though sometimes we have the insurance manager who came in just for a few minutes to see (or spy eh) how things are running) and apart from that, things are very cool now.

I get compliments from my peers saying that I am a team player and not the kind of person who 'says but does not do' kind of person. Sure, I can be bossy (heck, yes I do get bossy..the janitor hates me, the project managers hate me, the real estate people is beginning not to like me) but I also know that I am part of my peers' team in the office. I step up and open an extra service counter when theres help needed, I stock up the map machine and I even clean a co workers desk just cos it was super messy beyond believe and maybe this will open his eyes to see that his mess bothers me.

And then the idea of working for my boss again, came into my head. I have worked so hard to be in this position, learned the operational tasks and mastering them and then learning to lead 9 other staff...it surely was a long ride for me (well, took me 6 months to get trained). If I were to work with my boss again, I would lose my skills. What if the company restructures again and my boss gets deployed somewhere else? I do not want to be the last person knowing what to do when this happens. As much as I would love to work for him directly, I think this time, I would have too much to give up if I were to do that. I might be aiming for another position in 6 months or less and the skills that I have learned would be the ultimate point to get it (no no...not a managerial job, that word scares me! I can do their tasks but don't like to be called one yet).

In the meantime, mak is itching to get back here. But she is still going through some health checkups and I want her to be able to ensure that she is super duper well enough to come here and live with us again. We all miss her here...very very much!!!

Suraya and daddy David has bonded so much that they are inseparable...well, until I come home from work and weekends hehehe. The daily walks during lunch that the husband does with Suraya has helped them to socialize. Daddy with the other 'stay at home' daddies (especially at the beach) and baby with other kids. Kakak Mas has been the professional babysitter. There are times when paps needs to have time to hmself and needs her help, she has always been willing to jump and help to care for her little sister...with a fee, well, we pay her extra on top of her allowance to babysit (who wants to make money? come see us hehehe).

Oh and another exciting thing happened to me last week. Received a good amount of 'rewards' bonus from the company. Redeemed it as Amazon gift certs, bought 3 pairs of shoes...nice? NICE!!!

Have you guys tried Vanilla Latte? Tastes like Caramel Macchiato w/o the caramel. Sugar Free Vanilla Latte...try it if you get the chance...power beb!

Lastly, picture of the blog...Kakak Mas and the 'menggeram' Suraya... she just turned 6 months 2 weeks ago!
