Mm-Zhai-Sim-See (Hokkien) = Don't Know True or False
.
Maid came into the study room yesterday morning while I was surfing....teary eyed and all. Apparently, a relative has passed away, hubby wants to go back to hometown with her son...blah blah blah. She wants to take 2 hours off to sort out some matters before they leave. I said "OK". This was 7.15 am. (So early because send boys off on the bus at 6.45 am one maaa...)
I went out to school and came back at 1.30 pm. I saw her there and asked if she just came back. She replied "No". And now she said she wants to go home for the night. Think she bullshitting me lah.
.
She said "my husband leaving very early in the morning tomorrow. So I want to go home tonight"...
.
Of course, I ngam-ngam-cham-cham lah... Cause it means that I have to get up earlier to make the boys' packed lunch. Anyway, I again gave her permission to go. Then I asked what time she'll be back....thinking she should be back by late morning, since her husband leaving EARLY in the morning. And that woman said "evening". Wah....the story there don't tally there leh!!! But I didn't say anything...other than that I will CUT her PAY. Otherwise, suka-suka take off here and there. Mana boleh????
.
Not that I want to be cruel. But have had maids that grandmother passed away 3 times kind leh. *Sigh* So fed-up of all these grandmother stories. Maid that said security guard want to molest her when I confronted her about having a man in my house, maid that disappear for one week and expect to be taken back... So sien...
.
Let's see if she comes back later.. In this country, lots of maids just go off and never come back one. Oh yeah... and she even had the cheek to ask if she needs to cook dinner. If no need, she leave earlier! Already have to opt out from meeting with a friend that came from Australia as the boys need to have an adult in the house, right? Already re-organize my schedule already. Some more want to leave earlier!!!! These maids ...be nice to them, take for granted lah.

My previous maid also before she was due home, received a call from home saying that her dad was very sick. She was wailing away like a mad woman, I was so afraid to ask her whether he had died or not. In the midst of her wailing, I managed to ask her if her bapa masih ada kah, didn't even dare to say the word mati! :P Of course, with that we had to expedite her departure. Wonder what's happening to her now! :)
Got maid also hard hor? No maid? Lagi hard hor? Nothing like in those days, the amah chehs, they were so trusting and so diligent.
This is so annoying.
These maids think y'all fools issit? How many times this dying relative story have been used?
She should apply for leave...and get her pay docked!
Dancing Queen - Tell you ar.. maids are all Oscar Winners one. They act so well. They put Meryl Streep to shame lah...
dr ve thru - Yeah lah. No maid. Headache. Got maid, also got headache. At least I oni got one maid. Unlike most friends have 3 maids. Plus another houseboy!!! Cialatt.
Yes..we had one "cheh" in my mom's house up until recently. She knows EXACTLY how many pieces of cutlery or cheapo ice-cream containers we have. And will remind relatives to bring them back after they ta-pau food. She was getting old and wanted to return to China.... :-(
Mott - Luckily. This particular maid not yet give me THOUSANDS grandmother stories lah. Yes. I did tell her that I will DEDUCT her pay. This is to avoid "frivolous" and "thoughtless" leaves of absence!
Update -
At least, this maid came back in time to COOK dinner tonight. So...okay lah. Cannot be too "yim-cheem".
Aiya, even not "yim-cheem" also got so much problems with maids in Thailand. I had 5 different maids in 8 months. Damn sien... 2 of them gave me so many grandmother stories, 1 cannot even keep her own kitchen clean, 1 work for angmoh and cannot take my style, and another one...good but don't like me to "scold" her. Not really scold her.. but you know what I mean lah...
