Maid in MyHouse

The most common question when we come back from maternity leave is ‘Siapa jaga baby?’(Who’s taking care of the baby?) Luckily for me, as I’m still staying with my parents, the obvious answer will be ‘My MOM!!’ But that doesn’t sound right. Mom has been taking care all of us all her life…. All our lives! Haha. Come to think of it, I live with them for almost 28 years now. Except for the 2 years when I was in college, pretty much… I live with them all my life!!haha

Anyway, as what MOST of other parents nowadays do. I’m hiring a maid. An Indonesian maid to help my mother at home - taking care of Baby Alfie and do other cleaning etc job.
My maid FINALLY arrived last night. Baby Alfie is 5months ++ now. I intended to have her around like 7 months ago! To help mom BEFORE my sis got married. My sis got married anyway. Hihi

What an experience… The first agent was a neighbour in TTDI. Me and my sister both use the same agent. We paid deposit of 50% each and need to wait for 2-3 months…. she said. This was before last Ramadhan. We waited.
Then comes Raya(Oct 2007).
My younger sis then got married(Nov 2007).
I gave birth(Dec 2007).
We waited some more.
To make long story short, my sis got hers. But with no documents. Bad news is : She paid the full amount. As for me, after 5 months of waiting, I took back my money. Hire another agent. After a month or so, here she is now.
Yeap! I made the long story short. Coz the long story will be the part where I or my sis keep on take turns calling the 1st agent and keep on getting the same answer.. ‘esok..esok..esok’ OR ‘next Monday’ OR ‘this Friday’ OR ‘the girl’s father died, ask for delay’ OR ‘rumah terbakar’ OR ‘she has HIV’. Yes dear. I’m not making this up. These are all the excuses that she gave AND we had to bear. Huh!

Thank god, my maid has FINALLY arrived. She’s 41. A widow with a child. Hope she can be of help to me n mom. Hope for the best!
