Maid

my maid is going back on april, and we have yet to get a new one. i think i m going to hire a philipino maid this time.

my current maid is our very first maid. she is 28 yo, muslim, divorced and has 1 son. initially i thought she was quite lazy, not very honest and has a bit of attitude. after having her for 1 year plus, now i think she is quite ok. i think she adores chloe and she's rather reliable. when i mention reliable, meaning when i instructed her to get certain things done, it would be done. of course there are times that we need to close one eye when come to certain things, and she has other characters that i really dislike (eg. find lots of excuses when she does things wrong, never admit own fault, sometimes do things according to her own liking, tend to "forgot" my instructions, so on and so on.), but overall, she's ok ... and if i would have to leave her and chloe at home for few hours, i m not that worried. one thing i like about her is her personal hygiene is pretty good, she bathes and washes hair twice a day, and she's not smelly.

at first she told us she's going to renew, but after she spoke to her mother on phone, she said she needs 2 months break cuz her grandma has just passed away. not that i dont want to wait for her ... but i think she doesnt have the heart to work anymore. well, she's human being afterall. just like myself, i m now thinking of the new year break and my germany trip, so i simply just dont feel like working at all. same thing for her i guess. therefore, we have decided to get a new maid. at the moment, we are quite worried ... cuz we r not sure if the new maid is going to be ok. really have to pray hard on this.
