I AM FINALLY HERE

ALHAMDULILLAH


Syukur ! Alhamdulillah.... Thank Allah. Penantian ku berakhir sudah... After six months of waiting impatiently I finally got a maid. I mean a legal maid. Actually I have been 'cornered' by the first agent which happened to be my husband's 'buddy' . To be exact his buddy's wife. We waited three months for the new maid (which I paid half the booking fee.. hmmm... there goes RM3,450) about two months before the former maid left. Finally after more than three months of fruitless waiting I decided to cancel the booking. Up till now still waiting for refund. Wallahualam...

Was really pissed off the way they (the agent) kept lying or giving excuses to me. Asyik-asyik next week new maids are coming... in the end habuk pun tak nampak. Can't they just tell the truth??? Cakap tak ada maid .. kan senang. So we could find maids from someone that can provide us.


Probably my being choosy caused the delay as the requirement that I gave the agent was to look for someone between 30 to 35 years of age. And of course I want a helper that pray... Ehh jangan main-main the former maid that I had, now lives with my mom in-law did'nt even bring her costume prayer when she came to my house. I only realised about her not praying after a week. And the funny thing is that whenever she is busy she'll say she will combine the prayer together. Sembahyang jamak lah tu... Himpun dua solat dalam satu waktu. Mazhab apa le pulak ni... Jenuh nak kena jaga solat dia and the best thing is that whenever I ask Sabrina my youngest daughter whether or not she perform her prayer. Guess what ??? I have to ask 'wanti' too. Tambah anak sorang lagi nampaknya... Oh Dear..

My friend Ruby even suggested that I fly to Indonesia to find maid at their respective agency. Lagi gempak... Desperate sungguh nampak mak nani !!! Kesian kat kawan dia gamaknya. Well Ruby too had the same experience with me last year. She was also 'maidless' for a couple of months. Especially with her asthmatic daughter and more over her husband being a pilot needs to fly here and there for days or even weeks. But Ruby was even more unfortunate than me cause her being 'over kind' made her maids ran away a few times. Baik sangat kawan yang satu ni maid pun ada handphone! As for me... maid is a great helper that my family should respect as she help us with the chores but she also has to respect me as her employer. None of my children are allowed to shout or demand things from the maid cause she is my employee not theirs... and the kids must always say the word 'please' to the maid whenever they ask her to do something. ( of course my youngest sabrina, always forget to say the magic word ) It is not easy to instill good values to the kids... Anyway I had my don'ts too... 'NO HANDPHONE'... They can communicate by writing!!!! Of course occasionally I mean during Hari Raya they can call their family back home. It is not that I am being overly strict ...I am just taking the precaution.. Almaklumlah I don't want them to take advantage.

Finally through my former maid, bik timah who stayed with me for six years managed to find me a new maid after two months of waiting again. Thanks so much bibik. Officially.. March 1st 2009 'SU' came in the rescue. The end of my SAD AND TORTURING LIFE STORY...

Actually as for me life with and without maid have their own advantages and disadvantages... Some might say there's no PRIVACY when a maid lives with you... Hey I would be glad if I can have a daily maid that helps around in the morning and goes home in the evening... but there is none I mean a 'legal maid' in my neighbourhood. There's no local woman who wants to be a maid thus we have no choice but to employ foreigner. It is easier said then done I mean to keep the house clean and juggle with the children daily routine I mean sending them to school etc.. Actually I can say that I am a fulltime 'SUPIR'. Am I trying to justify my self for having a maid?? Hmmm it is a BONUS actually. Haha !It simplify everything. Baru boleh gelak and happy sikit... if not tension memanjang...
