my mum's new maid was here on 08 June 2010, evening time.


Yesterday, my mum asked her to stand on a chair to clean the window & window grills where she can't reach.

She replied to my mum that is dangerous to do so :faint: . My mum was so angry and did it infront of her to let the maid know that is not dangerous at all.

Sometime I :scratchhead: they acting blur or too \"straight\"?

MY ANSWER: she's act blur, or real stupid.

Please lah, got grille protection. My 2 maids all very katek...if everything that is beyond reach of hobbits, then nonid to do/take isit?

I am considered blessed to have so far 4 very good maids in the last 15 years....and this 4th one is less than one year and is even better than the first 3


we can entrust the household to them with absolute confidence

when the kids were still young and sometime they run fever & what not, the maid loves them so much that she stayed up whole night to ensure the kids are well monitored

verykiasu,
you are VERY luck to be able to get this maid...it really feels so good to have someone you can trust and rely upon. then you must pray very hard that this maid can work for you for longer time.

cannot be selfish lah ..... the one just went home last year was also good and she should go back to get married before she gets too old .... so we sent her back with all our blessings.....felt like marrying off a daughter like that

And my maid.... :slapshead: climbed out of the window to clean my window :!: I found out last Sunday. She was standing outside the aircon compressor \"balcony\". We quickly asked her to climb back to the house and question her how many times she do that. She replied many times.....:faint:

I had told her never ever do that again and I don't want to appear in the paper.... :nailbite:

Put grills and lock up...or else you will be fined if your smart alec maid climbs out to the aircon compressor. Sometimes, the things they do really drive us nuts. The other frustrating thing is these maids get brainwashed by other maids and do not even use their brains whether it's true or not. Ears are so 'light' and listen without thinking. :x

My last maid was transfered on April 26th and I had no maid for the whole month of May. My new maid came in last saturday. Can anyone advise why my levy is being cut even though I have no maid for the month of May. I did receive a confirmation frm M O M that my maid was transfered in April. Tks

Could be a timing error. No worries lah, expect to see the refund soon - else call up MOM. They are very prompt.

Hi hquek and LKVM, Tks, I will wait and c if they minus out this month. I guess its computerised and will check with MOM if they dnt.

Well Ive got myself a traditional burmese that cant speak english except a few words. Wonder how she passed the english test. This maid is strong but got to show her the housework, lucky I happen to hv my sisters burmese maid to interprete for 2 days. Shes working real hard and seems to hv a good attitude, Now Ive got to use the dictionary cos she tends to reply in burmese. I guess as long as she knows the work it should be ok, just cant make conversation with her.

hi moonee, if you want confirmation, call up MOM. So far my interactions with them have been fairly pleasant. I did encounter the same (ie deducting of FWL though I was maidless) as you did after my first maid left.

That's great. You have a translator so that is good. Don't worry, in time to come, they will pick up the languages you use at home.

Tks, youve both been so kind. I will definitely call MOM by next week. Yup hquek, my maid will definitely pick up eng in due course. Im very patient and rather have one that cant speak english but eager to learn and work then have those filipinas and Indons coming to spore for a good time. Im quite please with her work and shes learning fast. I didnt want a burnese frm the university as they do know english and may be too ambitious, was prepared for one that spoke very little english but this one only knows what shes been taught at the training cntre. Dont really need her to know too much english for fear of outside influence. Anyway, I made this choice after so many bad experiences with the other maids...just hope she keep up the good attitude that she have now.

Anyone have a maid you wanna let go because you don’t need them anymore?


My mum is looking for a maid now cos I’m planning to start trying for #2, means my maid is staying home with me instead of going to my mum’s place on weekdays and I do my own housework. She needs a maid to do her housework and probably look after my brother’s soon-to-be son. Sometimes might need to help out with babysitting my boy too.

Prefer Indon or Burmese who can speak simple English. For Indon, no need to speak English cos we can converse in simple Bahasa Indonesia.

If you have, PM me. My mum hopes to interview the maid personally or at least through the phone. Thanks.
