I sent my maid off after enduring her for 17 days. I have to say what she has done cos she pissed me off so much. Regret not telling her off on the day i sent her off!
The agreement between us is that she will not carry handphone. This is my pre-requsite. On the day i pick her up from the agency, the agent told me she has a handphone and ask me to keep it for her. I did. However after working for slightly more than a week, she asked me for her handphone to sms to her sister. I agreed after asking her to return the handphone after she sms. After a while, she came back to me saying she cannot sent the sms, and return the phone to me.
The next day, i called the agent to tell her i was not pleased with the maid, on her work attitude etc. Then the agent told me the maid sent a sms to her sister and the sister called the Philipiness agent. She did not tell me what the sms was. I was furious and wanted to check what the sms was from her handphone. Damn it, it was then that i realize she has taken the sim card out and returned me an empty phone!
I did not say anything but in my heart i was thinking this maid is damn scheming. Told me could not send sms but she did. And return me an empty phone without a card!
The story did not end. After a few days, my sis maid came to stay in my mum house cos my sis went on holiday. My maid saw that she has a handphone and keep pestering her to let her put her sim card in to use. That evening when my mum went to bath, she asked my sis maid to quickly go inside the toilet to swap the sim card. My sis maid refused of cos. She told my sis maid off saying "We are both maid, why you cannot let me use your handphone?"
Bloody hell! If i know about this case earlier, i sure blow up and throw her cell phone in front of her and ask her to pack her luggage and sms all her want when she goes back to her agent! My blood is still boiling whenever i thought about it!
Apart from this handphone incident, she is damn fucking lazy! My mum told me on the day when i planned to send her back (she of cos do not know), she asked her to wash the toilet. The maid replied "I washed it last week already". Yah, you also ate this morning, so tomorrow morning i will not let you eat is it? She has a very easy time in my mum's house. My son dun want her to bath him, dun want her to feed him (of cos she once stuff a tomato taken from the boiling soup into my son's mouth! My heart pains man...), and she dunno how to cook (my mum asked her to watch when she cooks and she juz watch for 3mins and leave the kitchen). So basically after i sent them to my mum house around 12pm, she will juz sit there, play with my son for 10mins, on the Hi5 TV for my son to watch for 1 hour, sit there, walk around, sit there, stare into space, sit there, and wait for me to bring them back. And since my son dun want her to touch him, i have to change his diapers, clean up for him and feed him before he sleeps. And guess what? Most of the time after i fed him and came out of the room, all the window are shut and lights off and she is already in her room snoring away leaving the milk bottle for me to wash. And the timing can be as early as 930pm.
I haven't finished complaining. She is damn careless. I have caught her not shutting the windows properly a few times. She simply turn the latch thinking the window has been shut when actually the latched is not latched on at all. She also did not close the cover of my water bottle properly after filling the water and when i drink from it, the water pour onto my shirt. And not forgetting the peanut butter. She simply put the cover on after eating the peanut butter without turning it to tighten it... *sigh* the list goes on...
I really have a phobia engaging maids, same goes for Gary and my mum. Actually i feel we do not set very high standards for maids, and we treat them well with 3 hearty meals and no overloading of work. Now that my maid is gone, i feel so peaceful at home.
*sigh*... I will talk about the maid policies in singapore in my next blog and damn its a vicious cycle. Will discuss further.
