Hi


Im thinking to travel next yr aug to HKG with kids and elderly. Any suggestions for good & affordable hotels in HKG? It's my 1st trip to HKG.

Will bring the kids to Disneyland via trains while the elderly can spend their time walking around the hotel if they do not want to go Disneyland.

Any airport transfer to recommend? Hotel airport transfer are ex. If taking cab, might have a problem that the elderly need to take another cab themselves. How does the Hotel charges the room? Can 2A2C squeeze in one room (kids less than 6 yrs old)? So far i asked a few, they quote either to book 2 room or book a family room. :scratchhead:

Thanks.

I’m intending to bring my maid to malaysia in August… can advice if require any visa or other doc to bring?

Thanks.

anyone encounter problem to employ old helper back, after change new?


we have just changed a new helper for a week+ and realised we miss the old one. Intention to change is we thought she want to go back home. :stupid:

This new one is completely new & has several request just within a few days! :slapshead: Initially everything agreed and now she asked me why we do not let her do this and that!

We intended to employ back the old one but she has already find herself a new employer! Though she is interested to come back, but there are some paperwork that the new employer has signed. she's still in sg and will not be going back home anymore.

We checked with her agent and she said cannot do anything already since paperwork done. But we suspect might be due to her wanting to earn the commission hence rejecting our request. She even suggest to help us find other transfer maid!
pay & pay again... :slapshead:

The WP has yet to cancel. anyone can advice if any other solution?
by the way, my new helper has yet to do her WP since the old one has yet to cancel.

Ok, I am not commenting on how to get the ex maid back solution part. Just a bit :roll: on the highlighted part.

Now I just don't know why the agent should agree to your request since a new employer has already been found for the ex maid and agreement signed.

You let your ex maid go, got yourself a new maid, not happy with new maid and want ex maid back. But ex maid has found a new employer (even though her wp with you has yet to be cancelled) through her agency. New employer signed papers and probably submitted documents and made some payment.

How do you want the agency to break the business deal with the new employer? Is it fair to the new employer who might be in need of a maid urgently (I guess this is not your concern).

You should know how difficult it is to find a suitable maid since you are already unhappy with the new maid which I guess must be the best out of the several you have seen.

Oh dear, and you concluded that your ex maid's agent is out to earn commission just because she rejected your request to cancel your ex maid's contract with a new employer + she offered to help you get a new maid is to get you to pay and pay.....she is just offering a service and you called her not she calling you for business.

I have a maid too and I know the frustration in getting a suitable (not fantastic) maid. But is it really the agency's fault that it rejected your request?


Am currently looking for a maid to take care of my elderly brother who just suffered a stroke. Not easy.

Hi
We knew that it's not the agency fault in any way. Just that we are encountering many family problems recently and hope to lessen one helper issue. :xedfingers: thinking of need to change another maid mean need effort,time, luck & $$ again. I would say mostly is all about luck..
In fact my agent has been quite a great help all these while..

It's really hard to find a good helper these days. We have already prepared for the worst to go without a helper if this new one goes on having more patterns. We do not have so much $$ to keep on changing helpers and replacing them. Recent agent fees and replacement fees are far too much and doesnt helping us employer at all. instead we are at the mercy of these maids ..

Maybe that's one of the greatest fear for a couple to start having kids..

Hi

Can i know when is the registration for parent volunteer work open? My kid is born in 2010, was told registration for PV is when she’s turns 4. When she’s 5 - do PV. 6 yrs - register for P1. Is that true?

I just called up my idea sch - West Grove Pri. Was told that the registration for PV on P1 is only 1 yr before. But based on my forum check, seem like PV need to be done way before hand. Anyone can enlighten me?

Thanks.

hi! my girl is rather cheeky. she can hardly sit still when we drive thus i am worried she will move around if she takes the school bus by herself.


yesterday was her first day and she cried. hopefully she can adjust to the school soon. for the afternoon nursery class there is only 6 kids?

if not wrong yes, afternoon slot is a smaller group. This is a new group which they setup just this jan. small group is good esp for your little one since it's her first day yesterday.

Hi

im thinkin of registering my girl to this sch. however, im afraid if the academic is strong enough to prepare for Pri1. It seem more like a playgrd. moreover, there too much teachers compare to the rest of the sch since students not alot. any parent worry next time their kids will not be able to get used to \"waiting\" in Pri sch?
