A new person at home....

My foreign domestic maid is finally here. SHe came on the 16th, zhenyu and i went bukit batok and pick her up in the evening at8pm. Her name is Amie, a Filippino. She had short hair, about 1.50cm and i guess she weighs around 50kg. The first impression that she gave me, quite a decent woman. But u know lah, these ppl will be very well behave for the 1st few months only, after that all her pattern come out.

Hmm... i have alot of friends who suggest to me not to "spoilt" the maid. They said we as an employer should set high standard for them, be strict so that they can maintain their quality of work. My ex navy colleague ivy, even told me not to buy anything for the maid, eg: clothes, shoes, bag. She told mi her mistakes by buying her maid all these, in the end, the maid took it for granted. Whenever they went shopping, the maid would hint ivy to buy things for her... haha. SHe also advise mi not to let my maid to have a choice to choose what she want to eat. Eg: when we gO outside for dinner, if we order duck rice, the maid will also eat duck rice. Sound abit mean right... they dont even have the right to choose wat they like to eat. But come to think of it, they are here to work and earn money, not come here and enjoy. But i also have gd examples of maid, who works 10 yrs for the family. She must be very nice that's y the employer wanted to extend her.

It had been two days since i done any housechores. I guess i gona be a fat and lazy pig soon. i expect Amie to mop the kitchen and living room every morning. And wash the toliet everyday... Wipe all the room with cloth everyday too. She is expected to take care of my princeton day and night time. But currently i will still look after my boy at night till dawn. Coz i think she need some time to adjust this busi schedule, and also i want her to have ample rest. I asked her to take out all my clothes from the messy cupboard, do a thorough cleanup, and fold it nicely back. I also asked her to take out all my "outside clothes" and handwash. After that she needs to iron it...

Now i must tink what else can she help mi... coz ppl told mi they must be occupied with things so that they have no time to "chu patterns". I think from next week onwards, i want her to cook lunch and dinner already. If not she will be very free and think that we always da bao for her.
