        hubs NEVER agreed to us having a maid.

          Oh poor buds 😞


          So who does all the household chores?

          Haiz, that’s why I always say maids to me are like men.
          When you have them, you find them irritating, but when you don’t have them, you miss them πŸ™‚

                  During festivities, he is very ON with serving our guests

                  and clearing on time... especially if the guests are my
                  friends and relatives or peeps we've not seen in such
                  a long time and have soooo much to catch up with..

                  He says he does it faster.
                  He says i'm a much better conversationalist.
                  He says i shouldn't dirty the clothes that he bought.

                    Andaiz,


                    You must be feeling very happy now. I know the feeling.But perhaps you may want to consider putting her name up in Tamarind’s blog? To help future filiphino employers? Cause maybe she may want to come back to find work. I thought can help others. For me I would be very keen to know the name if is a myanmar one.

                    Your new maid coming in soon?

                      Yes, only time will tell, but so far, this being the 3rd day, she’s still fantastic lol


                      I hope it’s the result of me continually stuffing her with food (she says she can’t finish LOL) and giving her 10 hours of sleep daily hehe.

                      Food and rest is so impt, I believe given these 2, anyone can work like a dog LOL (am i bad or wat lol)

                        True, true!!

                        Update on my maid, she asked for advance of $100 (that's equivalent to her 5 months pay since she's still repaying her loan) for the funeral. Should we? We are still insisting on seeing the death certificate first. But the funeral's on 10th. Even if we pay her, it will be on 10th or later. They can have the funeral first then pay? :?
