autum: last time i oso think Myanmar maid good..cos i hear they r very gentle n softspoken kind. some know chinese even! i think if she is young, easier to pick up languages n such. agree w u..main thing is the capability. neva easy to hunt for maid. but finding a good maid is oni 60% done.. how u treat her n how she respond is more impt. a good maid can oso succumb to pressure.
qq: sayang sayang.. agree ur inlaws cmi ah... if me i show black face liao!
sq: i think i found the solution to ur baking woes liao. u said ur oven is high end wan w microwave.. it's a convection oven isit? usually recipes r based on convention ovens.. check this http://www.cadco-ltd.com/convectioncook.html reducing ur temp or cooking time shd be the answer! correct boh? =p love me boh?

astro : u let ellie bring teng downstairs alone ??
Linda,
Dun know lah, quite disappointed with them especially when my boss told me they know the problem and they are doing something now. Tooooooooo late.
Think my boss headache now, 3 of us leaving in CS team this month and my customer is very de super problematic one maybe she dun know who should I hand over lor. Initially ask me to hand over to very new colleague half way thru change maybe the new colleague can’t cope. Gave a colleague name to hand over but tell me to hold on first till her green light to hand over, hei…..I want to hand over asap, I dun want to last minute hand over then I have no time to brief the colleague and end up I got blame for not hand over properly.

mummies, based on my email correspondence with the other forum mum, she gave me the following info on the myanmar maid:
1. Single, no boyfriend
2. 29 years old, christian (written in biodata)
3. Worked as Nurse for 3 yrs in myanmar
4. Cared for orphans in orphange in myanmar
The mummy said the maid has very good character, likes children (but no experience with newborn).. can let her 2 kids bully that kind (cos she really loves children). But she has to let her go because of communication problems - and she think that is the reason why her 2 kids can't accept the maid (her kids are toddler age 1+yrs and 2+yrs).
So she stressed to me, communication is main problem. If i can allow her time to pick up English (like 1-2mths time), she thinks this maid can be a good help. But she can't wait so long because she has in-laws, and the older folks complain that they can't communicate with her as well.

HJ,
Do a Handover list. Write down every single thing u can tink of. That was wad i did even if there is someone to handover to. And i email the same list to the person taking over, the supervisor/mgr as well. Lidat, no one can cp dat i din hand over.
Nana,
I tink its how long they hv been in sg (Some localised) as well as how strong their culture is. (I do know companys who still hv morning role call, exercise...)
QQ,
Good dat all is clear liaoz. I wana clear with my boss but he ignoring me. Now he is earning my disrespect liaoz.
mash,
The old (as in worked in sg loong) will be ok. The new ones can still be MCP. But too bad they are in sg where women can be quite domineering. LOL...

Autum: i am very inclined to agree with what that forum mum says.. as well as what pink said.. commuication and lang proficiency are very impt.
Could i share with you how i feel about M Maids? When i first started out getting maids.. my good fren recommendd me this place who specialises in M Maids.. and i went thru all the biodata.. and i was thoroughly impressed with their education.. all of them were degree holders! and i thought if you are degree holder ..maybe that wld mean quicker adaption and initiative? ok. this might be my own assumptions..
then when i look at their lang proficiency.. and also working experiences.. i realise they can't speak english and onli working experiences is limited to myanmar..
true, liek what Titu says.. many of them can speak chinese.. but the problem is.. (this is what miser asked the agency).. their ang mo is sooo low that they can't even clear the english proficiency test they need to take to come here to singapore.. those who normally 'can' make it.. just barely made it.. and if u compared to indo and philipinos.. their lang is really the bottom.
I was very tempted to get a myanmar. then i stopped myself and got ellie instead.. because i know how it feels.. when u want to express something..it can't get thru ( i taught normal tech kids english.. so i know how it feels.. and these maids english.. are lower than normal tech standard).. and day to day communication is very impt..
i mean. we see pple whose maids are philipino or indo.. and yet still can have lang barriers despite stronger lang.. what more the M maids?
before i really chose ellie. i went and source for M lang books leh. coz i thought i could learn the lang and speak to them.. then maybe things wl be ideal. but DUN have!! very ver yhard to find one.. and even if i find one.. the time is the biggest stress factor.. when u want something FAST.. how to slowly gestulate to the M maid?? then tempers will flare liao..and there is pressure built over time and everyone gets so unhappy.. then eventually the M maid must go.. very sian one..
then ur forum fren got a pt.. the old folks (u see my mum lah. though now she happy frens with ellie liao).. will pressurise u even more..
so.. it might be better. if u go with a philipino or indo maid? that's my two cents worth...
look for their background.. i feel. and this is my own take.. go for widowed.. in late 20 to early 30s.. have kids (and the more they have.. i thin kbetter).. coz for this group.. they really need to work to support their kids.. then no 'nonsense' from them.. of coruse they will miss their kids. but this cannot be helped because we know how it feels to..if they cld sense u love their kids as well.. they will lvoe EJ and Evi.

linda/HJ: u prefer the latter ah? but so jialat leh .. dun care about everything and how pple feel and step on ur toes to get HER part of the job done.. very sian leh..
ya. eat snake pple very sian.. but i think me.. i will go and tell them direct or 'push' them to work. yes it takes more effort. but can be done.. i got two good 'pals' at work. who are liek that.. they need me to 'push'.. they move a bit.. push.. move a bit. but becoz i am their fren.. they move more for me..
what i cannot stand is pple who bochap other pple's feelings .. then 'scrificing everyone' to acheive their own aims.. this kind. my blood will boil..

Astro,
thanks for taking the effort to write the long post for me.
I can understand what you mean.. but I think (think only la).. I am more patient than you. So I think I won't get as pek-chye as you. Furthermore, I don't have older folks at home (altho my mum stay with me, but she works so only home at night like me).. so in that sense, i probably won't have older-folks hovering around and thus feels irritated. Hiaz.. but many things is just what I think now.. until it actually happens, until this person actually comes and work and live in my house.. I really won't know what will happen.. life is such hor.. if we make one choice, we will walk down that path and then be able to experience the full effects.. oh well..
Linda,
Gut feel... my gut not very good nowadays leh!

autum: hahhhh... maybe i do give an impression that i get pek chye quicky...but no matter how calm a person is.. still got things to get pissed with one.. and the part of communication is very vital.. is very very true. no matter how patient someone can be.. the daily pressures and stress can get to him..
hmm.. let's say. if u want to tell the M maid.. "feel EJ fever medicine when his fever hits 38"...how to say? chances are.. u end up gestulating..and how to gestulate fever. and 38 (write?).. then med.. will she be able to know the differences between the different types if all same colours.. then different dosage. and when u in a rush to go away from home.. give instructions.. where got time slowly slowly give? .. then basic communication is done.. what about eduacting the bbs? how to play with EJ or Evi?
before i sound like AGAINST M maid.. i better stop.. coz that's how i felt and i thought would be good to share with u why i did not get M Maids eventually when because i started out. WANTING to get M maids.. remember?
but u right abt it.. when u choose someone. u go with gut feel.. if choose. then interaction is two ways liao.. both parties must make effort to make the relationsihp work..

but u right abt it.. when u choose someone. u go with gut feel.. if choose. then interaction is two ways liao.. both parties must make effort to make the relationsihp work..
hjk. i am going t osound very manipulative if isay this. but dun care. but this is honestly how i feel. if efforts to push but they not workin. then it is not ur fault liao. and when the bosses push the blame on u.. cld be more assertive to say. i already told him to do this by ..(certain time frame ) liao..
does ur office practice email culture? that's this thing about email.. double edged sword.. but if the bosses are constantly kept in the loop.. on who is doing what and by when.. evidence in black and white. how to blame wrong person??

astro : u not worried with ellie alone and teng?? for me i cannot leh.. maybe its becos u trust ellie enuff too..
autum: ya. she nurse. but her lingo used is not lenglish.. unelss she pass tests all in ang mo.. then i think u shd get her immediately liao..
i am talking abut the daily stress leh.. anyway. i think every household has their unqiue dynamics.. so i def cannot judge for u.. that is only my two cents worth.. since it so coincidentally u had the same thoughst as me.. going for M maids.. and searching for M lang books.. so i thoght i cld tell u how i felt and why i didn't get one.. that;s all..
just thought that in ur case.. it is mre so impt that must be able to have minimum level of communication coz u need to rely on her a lot. coz no one at home at all to correct her 'misunderstandings' if she cannot understand wahat u are saying.. it is quite jialat.. then again. that's how i feel.

astro / autum : that time i also tot of getting M maids leh.. i changed my mind.. h ahaah.. shall not elborate more..
nana: i wun say i am 100% not worried.. but i have to trust her.. if i dun trust her. she wun trust me.. then everyday at home.. i protect myself against her.. she protect erself against me.. how sian?.. o course.. having said that. if she breaks my trust. off she goes.. and she knows tat very clearly coz i tell her that very explicitly when she first came.. and maybe with her abescess case.. she saw that i care.. and i care about her children. so she is very patient with teng..
yes. i can be wrong. and mos tof the time i am wrong when judging pple.. but then i move on and learn from the lesson. but i will still trust. so sometimes my frens say i too trusting.. i can only manage a weak smile
and.. if i cannot trust her with teng. then no pt getting a maid laio. coz even with the maid. i need to worry nonstop. then might as well ask miser give me the extra money for pocket money! but i konw i cannot be happy staying at home.. so i got to trust ellie..
at times.. teng alseep. miser and i go out.. or i go out. she at home with miser..

Astro,
Ya I do sent e-mail but I dun really put the bosses in the loop as I was told before if it is not super problematic dun include them. So I only include them when I have follow up and pushing but still no reply, when problem raise they will ask me to show evident and have to tell “history” but then I have include them in the loop liao wor. Is that means they din read my e-mail? If every single things I have to include them and write story I really very boeng liao, one day I can send lots of e-mail out one.
To my boss point of view is she dun care is he got no reply or what, it is my job to make sure to get the things done. If I got problem with him I have to settle with him myself even I told her I can’t cos everytime only me talk nia he only say ok ok but will have no improvement. two weeks ago he make a blunder and still can sms me ask me not to complain to bosses anymore as he is leaving (but dun kow when lor since day one he said he want to leave but now I'm leaving but he still happily staying)I show my boss, she just smile and walk away.
The best thing is I am only a exec. and he is Manager wor, how you want a exec. to make sure a manager do his work?

michelle: can i take that? ehh. can i go crocs first try size. and tell u? when u need reply?
hj: not write stories.. just keep in the loop. they wun ead one lah. but at least they will know. and it is the records.. but then again. it is ur manager. then it is tricky. so it is good u leave.. if co-workers. then maybe easier to handle..
and that part of not being eng t write 'stories;.. henc ei say emailis double edged sword.

yvonne,
Go and buy those cheapo ti lum for her naps lar. Lidat at least there is a few hours of airing right?
Astro,
Push?? I oredi said into his face. "U better move ur butt and complete this. If not, u juz leave this place." And still wu dong yu zhong.
My collig taught me oredi. I am to ignore the presence of this person. Let him ROT. And when 1 day my mrg enquired abt his work, i will declare dat i did not gave him any and do not know wad he is doing. Let my mgr decide wad to do with him.
Til now, I hv been bbsitting this kid for the mgr and he knows with my character, i will push and push. So now, i will not do dat. If the mgr is BLIND enuff to allow the boy to sit and idle, so be it. Its the company $ not mine. The client will realise one day dat instead of the assistant, i have been the one doing all this work which do not belong to my jobscope and let the client pressure my mgr. This kid hv been wasting my time and braincells, so from now on, I shall be bothered no more.

Autumn,
Unless u removed it, it is there. Before i met my current maid, i was not impressed dat she ran away from her employer. (it was not abuse case). But after meeting her and talking to her, I trusted myself and brought her home. She was the 1st transfer maid and the 1st phil maid i have. So far so good.
Astro,
If u are lucky, u get one dat speaks mandarin. I had one who only speak burmese and coz of her, i went library to borrow this burmese english dictionary and tried learning. Too bad, she totally cant bond with the kids. (Infact I tink she dislike them), so i send her back on the 3rd day.
Hey! Now i am learning the email culture as well but it backfired in a way coz this kid will reply to ALL my emails cc the mgr and it looks like he is doing work. But in reality, those emails were stoopid instructions from me to get him to move. I was telling my collig, I use my maids strategy on him. Timetabling his work based on hourly though these emails. But my mrg blind one....
Nana,
Sama sama as astro. Trust is 2 way traffic. The maid can feel that we trust her and she will work im comfort and with confidence. But if once i know something not right, out she goes. So, rule of the thumb is always be alert and keep an eye open.
