      If we hv finish the maid loan we can either return the maid to existing agency or send her a home country?Any recommend air ticket to Phillipines?Dun know sld transfer to other employer as she is still blur like sotong after working almost 8 to 9 mths with us.

      If the maid is done with her loan and you have no more free replacement from the maid agency, it would be better if you could send her back to her home. In that way, you are assured that her work permit is cancelled and you are no longer liable for her.
      As for air ticket, i have no idea, but you may like to call the travel agencies and do a comparison.

        your maid is so good, help u to save on dental fees hehe

        吓死人! But she really is the thrifty sort....to the extent that if I count her undies hung out to wash and the number of days, the numbers don't tally. Call me sick, but then this is the only way I can check if she's being hygienic.

        Didn't know you can do funny too, hquek! :rotflmao:

          Teach her how to brush her teeth....and tell her if have 2nd case, she shall pay for her rotten tooth....hahaha

          the funny thing is, she does brush her teeth, and all her other teeth are white n shiny....in fact whiter than my teeth or my wife's teeth lol....only one tooth rotten, and is rotten until quite jialat....dunno what the heck happened :?

          Both my current and previous Filipino maids have bad teeth and have their teeth extracted. I think most of them don't take care of their teeth when they grow up. When a tooth go bad, they just pluck it out until there's none left. However, after seeing us using electrical toothbrushes and how we emphasize on oral hygiene for our kids, they both switched to electrical toothbrushes as well. In fact, all our maids have copied our healthy lifestyle after living with us. e.g. my current maid have stopped eating fatty pork and sweet stuff.

            Titank, The agency fees I paid is $600+. So, I have to get my replacement before maid’s loan finish. I guess you will have to pay for new insurance and agency fees after 8mths? I also realise its really stupid to pay for high agency fees. I was so inexperience in handling such things with maid agency.

              Ya maybe would analyse the Levy (21 Days) Vs the cost of an air ticket. I have foc replacement but seem the agent is specialise on Myanmar Maid. When it comes to foc replacement they seem not so keen in thier service. I would said lousy after sales service they had given to us.

                Today, my maid put a stainless steel bowl in the microwave for heating!

                Luckily i saw it and it was on for a split second.
                May i know what will happen if she continued heating?
                Will the microwave be damaged?
                What will happen to the bowl, will it catch fire or explode?
                I have emphasized to her so many times that metal things cannot put into the microwave oven, still dunno.
                My 1st maid did not use the rotating plate in the mmiccrowave oven and it died a sudden death.

                  Last time when I was living in a student hostel, some not very bright kid put a whole egg in the microwave to cook. There was a huge bang - the egg exploded right through the top of the microwave oven. :!:

                    I don't know if the microwave oven will be damaged or not, probably the food inside the bowl won't be cooked as metal may block the waves :?

                      Thanks Blobbi and minnie2004 for your replies.
                      Blobbi, wow, the egg shell must have some how hardened till it can blow the roof off!
                      That's what i am afraid of.
                      Microwave spoil or bowl spoil not so bad. Just afraid it will explode or catch fire.

                        Dear carebear,

                        The microwave oven will be damaged, but there won't be any explosion.
