Actually, that’s another way of saying “I malas…”
How can I not be “malas”, I have not been lucky so far in the maid department.
If I pen down the many stories of the maid(s) I had, I’m sure I need another blog for that. In fact, with just the maid affairs, I really want to have another blog, or even a website for the benefit of other potential employers.
Well, to cut the stories short since I so don’t have much time:
1) I terminated my maid after 1 year of service after I sensed that she’ll be coming back from her raya break looking for another job, in other words, she’ll come back on my visa but will disappear.
2) That was Raya Puasa. After that maid, I couldn’t get a replacement and was maidless for almost 2 months. Had to transport Aisha back and forth my sister’s place in Nilai during work whilst the three big kids are on their own after school.
3) Got a new maid in November. Unfortunately after 1 month FOMEMA found her unfit, so I had to send her back. Maidless again, but this time it was already school holidays, and I took a long leave and took the kids to stay in Brunei with Dad. After we got back, had a new maid, just a week before school started. Thought she was good, but after 6 days, she ran away. I think she already planned that out. Found out she had worked here before for 4 years. Go figure.
4) Then last 2 weeks got another replacement. So the blurrrrr..I decided to send her back. After I quietly told my agent, the maid came to me and said “mahu pulang bu, saya enggak betah..”. I was ok still then but right after she told me, she totally abandoned her work and just watch me cook and took care of the kids while she lied down on her bed crossing her legs. “Mangkuk” was the word I had for her, should have just thrown one to her. I sent her back the very next day.
5) So now I’m maidless again. Was relying on Acik to help out while she’s in between jobs, but then she now down with chicken pox, a nasty one though. Got it from Amir I guess.
So there goes the short summary of my life as a dependent on domestic assistance. My house is a total mess, 2 weeks of unfolded laundry and what with the repair work going on with the ceiling that was attacked by the killer white-ants – killed all my parquets & ceiling.
Dad is back, and making him the babysitter and the domestic god at the moment. Thank you darling.
Second day pox
Third day pox
