RE: All About Full-Time Maids
st2:
I see.......she has the old contract....kat78:
thks for all ur feedback. tink you are right. is time to say goodbye to her. even though i hate to train new maid.
tink she is trying her luck to change to a new employer since the salary and off days are so attractive now.
Old Maids developed a \"pattern\".. she has been with me for 9 years and only remembered to greet us on CNY. This Hari Raya didn't put up a smile. I didn't even bother to pass her a red packet since she went on her off that day. I told my hubby to pass her the next day. Anyway, after all that prep talk about basic respect, doing what is important, its pointless, always remember they are not related to us.. always an outsider. Their friends whom they hang out with will poison their mind.. its sad but I have gotten over it. I used to think I am blessed with a maid but I have to admit that they all go in one direction.. give them off days and she will never be the same again. But I am glad that I had stress free problems when she was taking care of kids in their toddling years. I am letting her go by Jan 14 or earlier and I am trying to stay as calm as possible to end this employee, employer relationship smoothly. She is behaving worse than a new maid, everyday day dreaming.. this morning didn't wake my dd for school, said she was busy with cleaning. Whenever I get pissed, I think of her being cleaned (already in mid 30's, divorced ) not having bf or wifi or FB, to lower my expectations in comparison with other more problematic maids. In return, I just give her the basic, one fast food meal per week, no more going out to restaurant ( like no more bonus since quality of work dropped).
I am looking forward to higher quality of life w/o a maid. Yes, I will be piled with housework in the mornings but then I do not have to feel bad if I splurge on myself with a $6 slice of cake or $40 packet organic rice openly.. maid nowadays are also smart, if you buy separate brand of bread or rice for them then how to expect them to work wholeheartedly.... -

Exit pass for Indonesian worker
Hi, my domestic worker of 8 years called me from lampung and said that the embassy refused to issue her an exit pass as her existing contract states her salary is only 400, (just renewed wp with this contract in 2011 at the embassy )She said I need to go to Singapore embassy to get a new contract stating that the salary of 450 ( which is agreed by myself & maid upon her return in feb). My neighbour told me to ignore & tell me to ask the maid to do the exit permit at the airport in Jakarta. I also find it a little peculiar on how am I going to Indonesian embassy in Singapore without my maid 's original WP & passport.
Appreciate if someone has similar encounters and what should I do.

RE: Peirce Secondary School
Hi, though I am staying in the East but I looked at pierce’s sec school surrounding & their o level passes which is 90+ & the intake seems to be from SAP. As responsible parent,notes or no notes, we can still seek tuition , i think the student mix and enviroment is top priority. You can’t control teachers too, good ones need to get married, upgrade, so so category just forgive them as long as they still turn up for class. Not scoring well for a child who has been in a SAP is already a blow & to go to a nearby school with neighbouring mix I am just afraid it might create more emo issues to the kid.
Yes if parents ve kids from pierce, please enlighten us. Thank you -
