Pink, Nana: Her performance: Not as good as the old maid on average, but I do see some improvement. She's quite a day-dreamer cos I feel sometimes her heart is not at work.
1) Her time management is bad - she's still not started on proper cooking yet. Last night she spent more than half an hour to iron 2 pieces of bedsheet.
sad.gif

2) Her awareness of child safety is low - for eg: she can leave a pail of water to soak anna's soiled clothes in the kitchen!
3) On self-cleanliness, not as clean as the old maid. After she fried some fried rice (which turned out very soggy cos I think the rice had too much water), she didn't hesitate to carry anna without taking a shower or changing.
4) She's quite forgetful. Actually this is her nature I think. Cos she can forget instructions and I have to repeat a few times before she can get it. Sometimes, she can even insist that it was not so.
5) Her attitude: I feel she doesn't know her place as a maid. When she alight from the car, she will take the baby bag and whatever from the boot, and walk ahead of us to the lift lobby, leaving my hubby to carry anna out of the car seat. My old maid does all the above on her own.
When she opens the door, she will block the way by taking off her shoes at normal pace, instead of showing the act of taking them off quickly so as to let others in. Another example. When sitting in the car and giving anna milk, she can look in front, instead of watching anna drink the milk.

Her good points:
1) She can play with Anna better than the old maid. She engages with anna on a more intellectual level.
 
from mygym.
i am busy will be back later.

2. The trial fee is $30. For citibank credit card holders it's $20. Pls note this promotion applies for the card holder only.

Yvonne,
................. why u say until lidat. Try not to wear pampers at home lorz... air her below.

Mejo,
I tink if u forget, u will received a letter after all the selections are done. And there will be lil or no choice of school by then.

mash,
*WAVE* ho se bo?? We hvg gathering next sat lei, wanna bring the champion to join us??

bbgal,
I had a maid who had points 1 to 4. I tahaned her for 15months before sending her back. Coz i was had lett and i cant afford any carelessness from her towards the NB bb.
 
bbmouse - as i read your post on yr new maid...it makes me reflect on mine...they are pretty alike. But one thing for sure..Dylan doesnt like the maid even after 6 months...so still cant find the good point to keep her. Haha..
 
hahaha.. Michelle u are wanted online. hahaha...

Talking about maid. Recently my mil house come with a new maid, the only thing she is good at is: Clyde likes her.

But she has too much for me to complain:-
1. She will slouch on my sofa when she is with Clyde on sofa.
2. She dun have initative at all and need me to tell her wat to do.
3. She has no sense of hygiene. Expect C to blow the flute after she blows.
4. She will smell her own shirt and talking to me.
5. When both hb and myself are sitting on the sofa while C is in between. She also wanna eat on the sofa and make her presence felt by standing close to me and i have to go.

As compare her to the previous maid, she is no where manz. I seriously doubt she ever be maid before (thou stated in her biodata). Too bad my mil cant get along with the old one.
 
Linda, Tay: Aiyooh.. This makes me think if I shd not waste my time and just let her go now.. Letting her stay longer is wasting both our time. I ask hubby whether we can find a replacement for someone who is able to play and teach anna, hubby says not difficult. You think so?
 
bbgal,
I gave mine 15 months to learn and improve and i dare say i was seriously training her. But unfortunately it is in her character dat she is careless and forgetful. The reason she lasted so long was dat i can see she is sincere in learning. But with Lett, i was not willing to take any risk.

As for maid dat bonds well with kids (therefore can play together), its down to luck and fate. I had maid who lasted 2 day and 1 month and the main reason was i do not see them bonding well with the children.

For maid dat can teach, jus make sure she has good education (ALot of phil maids are degree holders) and like children. BUT!!! Very often, those dat can teach the kids well do not carry out household chores well. And vice versa. If can find 1 dat can, dat will be reallie very LUCKY.

Nana,
hubby and i dont complain much..MIL and my mum complains..my mum says she gets distracted easily, watch tv get engrossed, dun focus on feeding leia...etc etc...
my mil thinks she knows how to 'geng'...and so far she's ok to me, just need to be more zi dong.
 
Astro,
Hiya! Feeling beta tdy??
happy.gif


Germ,
Ur maid do not know the protocal of a maid lar. Talk to her and tell her wad u expect her to do, how u want her to carry herself at home, outside, etc.. At times things dat seem natural to us may be foreign to these gals.
 
Linda Luv: u are very sweet. Feeling empty but i guess can onli let time heal..

can i complain? i really feel like emailing that irritating middle management person to f*ck off leh.. she is irritating me NON stop with the relief duty.. damm.. how anal can anyone get? yucks.. *disgusted*

Linda: i just read what you posted about having needing time away fro kids.. i am exactly like u.. i need time off.. else i probably whallop teng liao..
 
Linda, wont it very funnie to tell her how to be maid? Dunno leh somehow feel funnie to tell someone how to behave.
 
Astro,
Good to see u up and kicking. Hey! At least u have ppl doing work at ur place. I have a bunch of snakes here and it is embarassing to be in the same dept with them at this project.
sad.gif


Yo, lets get away~~~~

Germ,
Behaviour = attitude. It will be not be funny if she does some major silly mistake and cause real harm. So before dat happens, no one will blame u for being funny and telling the maid how to behave.

Autumn,
U ok?? Feeling down again??
 
linda: i was so tempted to go to IP coffee bean to get the cakes at 50% off but in teh end i walked to Old chang kee and bought a sotong head stick and a curry puff..hahahah.. so fattening. the curry puff really tasty leh.
 
Star,
#@$%%^#$%^#$^#$^ Why must u bring up food now!!! I am soo deprived as it is. Sobz....

Before i go, i wanna rant.
I do not understand why some mgmt are so BLIND as to employ imbicile and after witnessing how bad their attitude and work quality is, continue to let them stay in the organisation. Why! Why! Why!
 
aiyo linda, u coming to LPS already lah.. get to eat ur fill that nite. i will pop by too since so near my place but can;'t stay long. hey any chance of u moving back to work in this area?
 
wow ladies
you are so detailed... let me think deeper..

why rina is good?
1) Leia likes her, both of them plays very well with one another.
2) She enjoys singing, taught leia quite a few gestures.
3) She is quite positive, doesnt feel depress when she missed home or her gal, or when i told her what she has done wrong.
4) She's very eager when it comes to cooking
5) Leia can click with her, and sleeps with her sometimes so that i can have some peace.
6) so far, i have yet to see her get angry with Leia, or yell at her.

Negative
1) A bit buai zidong. e.g. she started to wear slippers in our house, she said floor cold, feet pain. we caught her wearing the same slippers walking out of our house to throw rubbish. My mil and mum super unhappy abt this...MIL said shes so young, how come feet pain?

2) she can be a bit direct, e.g. ask for my slippers, ask for my MIL slippers...:p

3)she gets distracted by TV or when we go out. She tend to stop and watch something fascinating and forget about us walking in front.
 
Linda: hmmm.. it depends on ur version of what is 'imbicile' leh.. or 'eat snake'.. honestly. i would prefer someone who eat snake a bit as compared to someone who sticks to the book like plaster and step on everyone's toes to get her job done!

who u prefer?? eat snake but don't offend anyone.. or too eager, dun like snake, and then step on everyone's toes till blue black to get HER part done....

I have just sent her an email to ask for clarifications. i feel this is getting ridiculous.. it doesn't mean i am not on leave means u can stuff me as many days as u like.. it doesn't meean.. i am easy going. means i can be bullied.. damm..

Hey, actually 19 July hor, can also be the EDM makeup session leh.. then all in one!
 
Autum, still thinking ah? i see.

19 july?? i think ok bah, but perhaps babies are not with us during the make up session? how how? haha! interesting.
make up session got a venue with natural sunlight or not?
 
autum: ok. i am also emotional and moody.. so maybe if ellie could be a bit 'stronger' .. better for me.. maybe..
so i think got to compare our emotional levels to know...:]

and it is very clear her three children are her focus. she can dun go for off.. to earn more $ for her kids.. which is good for me.. but the flip side is.. she will get panicky.. when she receive news her kids someting not going well..
and if u quite particular on this.. she can start calling her family.. at abt 930pm plus.. (she sleeps at 10).. i am ok with this.. since nothing to do anywhere.. and her kids sleep early..

QQ: just indicate will go for mygym.. ehh. but i dunhave citi bank cc.. can tumpang u to pay?
 

astro, i dun mind paying for you. but then i think they might not allow us to do so. it was indicated in the email reply. nevermind i reply and ask. not sure if they are very strict on this.

autum, don't think too much about ellie. cause everyone is differnt. you can start sourcing now, source long long until u get someone of your liking.

linda, u wanna suan your hb 5 years later? haha! eh, u steady, knew that he might not live till 29 years old, then u still married him? i won't leh, cause i scare i will be left alone. i think you and your hb really have special way of communication.
