Myanmar maids
-
Peapot, I think these days can never find maids who are totally obedient and never show black face or talk back at the employer. Those are maids of yesteryears...today's new generation of maids are much more demanding, aggressive and fussy.
That's why I've decided to go maidless once my current maid finishes her contract.peapot:
yanyan, just bring them along when you're buying the inner garments. Ask them to choose then you won't go wrong. Yes, burmese maids can be quite challenging but it still depends on luck. There are some burmese maids who are very obedient and will not dare raise their voice at you or gives a black face. So far I haven't met any but I m sure there are.

Seems like mine wasn't the only ones with all that pride. Once we ate lobster noodles at a chinese restuarant and she (my no.4 Burmese maid) was given a share. She said that our Singapore lobster not sweet not like the ones she eats back home, \"so sweet and nice\"! She has eaten it many times! Then when she suddenly didn't want to work, she said she was going back to be a BOSS! :mad:
Wow! :shock: Don't know wat to say. A rich maid? Next time i interview the maid, must ask them whether family rich or not. -
today my parents gave me a shock…i left my 3-day old maid with my parents as i need to go for a biz trip… my parents this morning ask her how old she is…she say she 24 to my mum…say 25 to my dad…my dad test her further ask her wat year she born…she say 1995 (which is 16 years old!) my mum say no wonder! she dun look 24/25…look less than 20 years old! OMG…is she that young? her passport / wp / agent all say she born in 1985…

Haha! In the begining, Mine also don't say sorry when commited mistake. I scold her (say she has no manners) and make her say sorry then she can do other things. If not, I just stand there and look at her until she say sorry. Now she very expert already, whenever make mistake, 1st thing she say is sorry.

yes, some agents bluff the age of the maids so as to get them into spore. Yours is not the first case I've heard.

To bluff 10years difference is hell for the employer. I think 16 years old not mature enough.

Yanyan, my maid told me that they are told to lie about their age inorder to work in Singapore as its near impossible for the relevant authorities to find out. When the maid reached their actual age then their passport will revert back to their "real" birth date. From the horse mouth.
