Maids..

Salam..

My apology for the silence. Having lotsa things to do. Much occupied with work, nursery and quality time with family. However, alhamdulillah our year end vacation has already BOOKED! So, we have much much time to spend with the kiddos during the vacation nanti..InsyaAllah..Yippieee!Hope zahra&najwa will enjoy it! and mama thinks definitely you guys will enjoy& rock! Okay, not to mention more about the vacay, lets divert the subject for today; experienced/s of having a maid at home.

First of all, husband and I havent seriously discussed on the matter whether we want to have a maid or not when we started our family. As for us, when the comes time, then we decide. In March 2007, after zahra was born, i was a SAHM, i resigned right after i've got married (terrible company, i can say..want to focus with baby, no more weekly travelling or outstation..mak sgt penat! But rezeki Allah & anak, i've got a job when zahra's was six months old..and now i'm still working at the company. So, since the job has offered, i have to find someone that i can trust to take care of zahra. Be frank, i am the one yg susah nak trust orang luar to take care my heiress, especially my mom is still working..im the eldest okay & my mom had me when she was 22 (fuhh...i wish nak ada anak that age tapi belum laku..pheewww..at 22, im still studying, comfirm if sebut psl kawin kene kejar satu kampung..)so alhamdulillah, my arwah wan sendiri yg usulkan that she wants to take care zahra..and then starts la we all travelling from KL-Bangi-Seremban to see zahra everyday..nangis if x sempat balik seremban because of tiredness! bla..bla..bla..until the day my late grandma passed away, i was 5 months preggy of najwa and zahra already 1 yrs 5 months.

So we finally end up a conclusion to have a maid, since i was travelling everyday from Bangi to KL and keep up complaint that tired and not much time with the kids at home..oh yes, i cooked everyday till now! Im trying my level best to be a good wife to feed by husband with home made cook cause i know he much prefers my restaurant :) and same goes to the kids as well!Now, the journey of the maids begin..

Maid 1 # Her name is Wati, from Kalimantan. But has been raised in Surabaya. She's 21yrs old. First time in Malaysia. She's very nice & bersih, but somehow she a bit lazy. Bangun pagi terlajak up to 8 am! OMG!! Morning dah la org kelam kabut nak pergi kerja, bukannya tido lambat but mmg kaki tido..so, after 8 months, she decided to go back to Surabaya with a reason that her mother asked her to take care their home there..we also a bit 'garang' sometimes, but only when she made mistakes..maybe she tak tahan, we do not know..but we let her go in a good way..alhamdulillah, up to now, she's still texted to ask about zahra & najwa through my mom..but my principal, once you out, you are totally out..

Maid 2 # Her name is Mimin, from Surabaya. Married with one daughter. Cannot cook. Staying with mother & family so her mom do all the housework & cooked. First time in Malaysia. She's kind hearted but not so bersih. Tak pandai sgt kerja rumah & we having difficulties to talk because of the language barrier. However, she managed to stay and worked with us almost a year. After a year, her husband keep calling her and asked her to go back home for a while..ko hengat i was born yesterday? i know the tactic..konon2 balik sekejap and then balik sini balik..ishh..yes no doubt ada jer yg boleh stay with her employer berthn2, but i know not my maid yg ni.,so we malas nak bising2, furthermore she needs to complete her service with us up to 2 yrs, tp sethn dah homesick. Ding dong ding dong, we sent her back to the agent. Full stop.

Maid 3 # Bibik Seri. One week jer with us sbb homesick & hari2 nangis. First time in Malaysia. Siap tanya i nak pakai driver tak? Whutt? ko igt aku First Lady? Phewww!Coz she wants her husband to work together with her, at the same place & house! Amboiiii..pandainyaaaa plan..oohh NO NO NO..Peliklaa..finally she said just sent her back to LCCT, refused to be sent to agent, but i dont want anything bad happens, i rang the agent and explained. She picked her up at my house. Mujur no payment has been made yet. Testing dulu katanya..Done

Maid 4 # Cant recalled her name. She just one nite maid..unbelieveable kan? She has been working with contena company doing inventory, but she said be a maid much more secured and sopan sebagai nenek, katanyalahh.. We picked her at my mom's friend house at Bandar Mahkota around 10 pm. Reached home i buat walkabout with her sekejap. Then next morning around 7.30 am she's already downstairs with her luggages (mcm mana die dtg, mcm tu jgklah die balik)..it sadden me greatly, but she smiled and said, 'puan, saya ni sakit dada,sakit kaki, sengal2 badan..bla bla bla..i masuk telinga kanan keluar telinga kiri..can read already! So my husband send her back to Bukit Mahkota and that's it! I tak sure la if she kene skolah kan, but that nite she called and kata mau balik & kerja...ohh noo..nothing can change my principal! sorry bebeh!

Maid 5 # Her name is Ayu. From Medan. First time in Malaysia. Ohh..perangai tidak seindah nama..this the severe nighmares for us! Mula2 i am okay with her, but later on i noticed that if makan, she's like a pig (sorry to say but true) and i hate when balance of her 'sisa makanan' she puts back dlm tudung saji. Marah tau! Dia kata nanti die nak makan balik. I said put la dlm tupperware and letak kat dapur, dontla mix with our foods! And then makan ayam bukan seketul kay, quarter die tibai. Astagfirullahalazim..belaan kah die? Next,i cant even tolerate; she slept with bra and short pants, with lights on & pintu tidak dirapatkan..SCARYYYYY dowh!!i caught her twice! My mom put witnessed. Mmg marah, furthermore she cannot get along with zahra & najwa. I called tanya mana bibik, zara kata tido..najwa still main. Then and then i halau die..serious guys, i was so extremely mad at her. Tapi die kata jgn halau sbb die sakit, we brought her to the clinic, the doctor siap senyum kat i..ni tak ada apa2..boleh? tak lama guys, waktu berbuka puasa on Saturday die lari. We all tinggalkan die di rumah, and berbuka di rumah my maklong..I thank Allah, masa die lari all the kids are with me. The worst and worst maid i ever had!

Maid 6 # Her name is Ika. 11 years working in Malaysia and with chinese. 5 yrs with first employer and another 6 yrs with another majikan. She has family angkat/tiri at Seremban. Once a month, we have agreed that she can go back at her mak tiri's house. She knows how to use public transport. Normally i will drop & fetch her at KTM. She used to all the public transports so i tak ada lah control2, since she has been staying in Klang Valley area 11 yrs..Not to say that she is very good, but she is manageable. She knows when to do this & that. Alhamdulillah zahra & najwa are getting well with this Bibik, and we also at the same time learning to tolerate & give and take with her. Actually, it is good when she has home to spend her holiday bacause we also need a privacy once a while. As for now, i am happy with her.

Fuhh! Within 3 yrs, i have changed 6 maids!! OMG kannn! Bankrupt nok. Mcm2 experienced..But whatever it is, we will do anything for the kids..money will come later kan...

Thats all from now...hope tak tukar maid dah..tak larat...
