        :rotflmao:

        In that case, I struck toto top prize, sole winner and also big sweep plus 4D 1st, 2nd & 3rd prize.

        My maid, honest, no black face, very sensible, std of cleanliness & hygiene at times higher then mine, has initiative, quite a decent handiwoman, cooks well, can sew, budgets for groceries better then me, willing to learn.

        When we are out, she is forever ready with antiseptic wipes to clean my kids' hands before they reach for their drinks or food. She will wipe down all the forks and spoons and bowls, especially those that the kids will be using.

        From day one, I did not really have to tell her what to do. She has a lot of freedom but never abused it and even chased a potential burgler away from our house

        I think she may have caused one major problem though. I have no idea how her successor is ever gonna fill her shoes when she goes back for good.

            Hmmm… maybe I should start a "what is good about my maid" thread.


            I think there are a fair number of decent maids around but pple just tend to highlight the bad and rant about it but never really mention the good.

                    aiyoh. Yah I know, cannot take anything for granted.

                    My this maid, been with me for 6yrs now.

                    Am actually maidless now cos she went back to get married. Before she left she scrubbed my house from top to bottom and stocked up my daily necessities. She nagged at my kids to be more auto so that I won't be too stressed when she is not here. She insists that she will be back but I will not be surprise either if she changes her mind.

                    I did however tell her that when she comes back, it better not be plus 1. 😓

                      wah Funz…trying to make me feel envious arh. But it’s positive that someone has struck toto and everything on the list. Yes, definitely good to know there are good helpers around (these I call helpers becos they really help, the cmi ones I call maids).
