old pple are like that. they have a lot of things to criticise about CL, maid etc.
now my mum gets along very well with rina..my MIL depends on her to feed her cats when she is not around. haha...dun dare to complain liao.
Astro
miser super practical. i expect mr tan to say the same thing but too bad, his gal sticks to him.
Ellie doesnt look scheming to me, perhaps shes older, so she seems to know more?
autum
another 2 yrs with EV is fine. after that maybe you can replan again. i will probably send Enya to CC, Leia will go kindergarten, not sure if i still need a maid then.
was chatting with my insurance agent. she has 3 dotters aged 18,16 and 12. she told me teenage problems are so tough to handle and none of them wants to go out with her anymore
soooooo sad.

Autumn, the maid i mentioned is the old one. The one who wanted to leave after working here for 4 days and she agreed to tahan until i find a new maid. But apparently the incoming new maid did nto pass her medical checkup, and hence cannot come. I show May the email correspondent i had with the agent and ask her to make a decision whether she wants me to continue to find or want to wait till she finish off her loan. And she decided to take the latter.
moogen: guess what? i think teng is going thru the rebellious and talking back stage now?! u dun think so? the boy has a mind of his own!everyday i am negiotating with him.. the conversastions we have are so darn amusing at times...

Germaine,
she doesn't want to work for u (but will work for others) or she just doesn't want to work? Your maid is first time working as a maid is it? I feel that the good thing about hiring an experienced maid is, they know what it is like to work as a maid, so they won't like miss home and want to go back after just a few days.
Astro, Ash,
u both very funny le.. ego-boosting session! haha.. no la. I m sure there are some employers who treat their maids well but the maids still not appreciative and do funny things.. so being good people is only one part of the equation. still needs luck i feel.

astro, hahaha. so in the end, how do you show him TEN giraffes? it's the same. he'll ask/tell me the same thing over and over again. like:
him: mama, what's that?
me: police car
him: mama, what's that?
me: police car
him: mama, what's that?
me: police car
and on and on...
then i'll answer him faster and faster. it's almost like dealing with a younger brother.
him: mama, what's that?
me: police car
him: mama, what's that?
me: police car

Autumn, this maid is doesn't want to work liao. She want to go back cos she miss home. *faint*
Following are the maids that i have encounter (only May is employed under my name, the rest is under in law)
1. Carly - married with 1 kid , work 1 year, work in Singapore b4 for 9 years.
reason to leave: her mil do not want to take care of her son anymore. Her husband is going to work oversee in middle east electrician.
2. Sharon - single , no exp, work 6 mths
reason to leave: father got stroke
3. Cruz - married with 1 kid, no exp, work 3mths
reason to leave: cannot tahan mil
4. May - single, no exp, tahan-ing
reason to leave: miss home
So in conclusion, getting a married with kids is a better choice?

Leia: Beng Beng (there's fire)
Leia: Fire! I'm scared of fire!
Leia: Mummy, where is batman?
Mummy: Batman will come out later.
Leia: Mummy, where is batman?
Mummy: Batman will only come out when there's beng beng!
Leia: Mummy, where is batman?
Mummy: IGNORE
Leia: Mummy, where is batman?
Mummy: IGNORE till batman finally comes out...

Speaking of maids, my maid always changes the configuration of my room. For example, some days the duvet is folded and placed on the foot of the bed. Sometimes it is spread out over the bed. YT's soft toys could be on the bed, her mattress or in a rack. YT's pillows could be on the bed or her mattress. Funny, haha. I never give her specific instructions on how I want things to be arranged so I just leave her be. She used to place the bolster below my pillows then she noticed (or was told?) that MIL's bed the bolster is in the middle of the bed so she did that to mine too.
hahah mummies, looking at the conversation u all with ur kid is very funnie.
Seems like now our lttle ones is at the "why-why" stage. everything also why.
personally i prefer maid with kids and exp. hahah but no easy to find. sighh... sometimes u get single cos they have no family of their own to worried abt. Get someone with family also good cos they have heavy commitment for their family.

Yesterday Hb played back to me a conversation he had with YT that he recorded on the phone. Please imagine it in mandarin. Can't type chinese on my new pocket pc yet cuz haven't configured.
Hb: Who do you prefer to drive the car?
YT: Papa drive.
Hb: Why?
YT: Papa's driving is good.
Hb: How about mama?
YT: Mama's driving is lousy.
Hb: Why is mama's driving lousy?
YT: mumble mumble something about me crashing the black car
Hb: Why is mama's driving lousy?
YT: Mama's driving is not lousy.
Hb: Now you say her driving is not lousy. So who do you prefer to drive?
YT: Papa's driving is good. Mama's driving is lousy.
GRRRRR!

Pinkpink,
Nope, she is not in the car. But we explain the whereabouts of the car when she asked. Er, but there was once she witness me trying to steer the car into the house (she's inside the house) and I nearly hit a pillar. She was shouting at me to stop but I can't hear though. I think she contradicted herself because she is tired of hb asking her why I'm lousy? Haha. Cuz hb said he was just talking to her and then suddenly they moved to this topic of who is a better driver. So he "re-ask" all his questions and record them for my benefit! That little imp.

mejo: in ur case, ur hb more like the questioning toddler leh!
pink: i like the part when leia go 'beng beng! i am afraid of fire!'
moogen: then u add in adjectives.. a big police car.. a big dirty police car.. etc etc.. ha. that's what i do when i am bored with myself saying the same thing to teng..
i realised.. all the mispronunciation of teng comes from ellie....coz teng called winne the pooh.. winne the poh! then i keep correcting him.. then he keeps going poh first! then i realised.. ellie calls winne the POH! omg..
then her prepositions all wrong.. 'look at me' becomes 'look to me'.. then 'put that into ur mouth' becomes 'put that on ur mouth'.. omg..ha..
my mum was 'showing off' to me.. told me she accompany teng to sleep and teng did not suck this thumb at all.. then she was very smug.. wah liew.. like real lor.... then i just play along.. 'ya. u are the best.. without u. teng cannot sleep peacefully'.. she smiled very smugly.. then i added ' but i wonder who was the one who told me not to torture teng and apply the anti bite leh?'.. she kept quiet and gave me a 'chey!'...then i laughed.. whahahhaa. i am so mean..

Re: frustrating conversation
I had this with Reyes yesterday. Reyden came back with a sulky face. He just kept quiet when I asked him so I asked Reyes what happened to Gorgor.
Me: 为什么Gorgor这么sad?
Reyes: 老师生Gorgor的气
Me: 为什么老师生Gorgor的气?
Reyes: 因为他坏蛋
Me: 为什么他坏蛋?
Reyes: 因为他哭
Me: Then 为什么他哭?
Reyes: 因为他坏蛋 lor
That's it! I realised I would never get an answer out of her.

Autum,
I'm not sure but I didn't recall having much "nonsense" conversations with Reyden either. Think perhaps boys are more logical and practical?
Belle,
*pat, pat* Don't get too upset. Kids are like that sometimes.
Want to ask you what kind of ads are you in charge of? Chinese or English papers de?
