Buffy, its a small world.....! did you recieve jrt's email? and thats a fabulous photo!
aBOUT mAIDS=> Terrible.... I am posting coz I wanna warn all mommies with maids, to be careful of what they eating. If there's anything that taste funny, or any funny feeling that something is wrong with the food, STOP EATING. No matter how much you trust that maid. my maid has been with me for 1 yr 2 mths. I interviewed scores of maid before we met her. And we knew at that moment, she the right one for our family. She's subservient, guai, smiley, can find humour in situations and a lot of other things. She is also VERY hardworking. Over these past yr, I have observed her handling my Jaz, and I am pleased with what i see. she smelled Jaz hair when she tot i not looking, she kissed jaz on the forehead, she's keen to learn all the recipes I taught her, and best of all, she seems to get along with my MIL. But somehow, my MIL does not have THAT much complains about her, and for this 1 yr, life is good. 3 days ago, I wld bet anything to say that she will never harm us or do the crazy things some maids do.
Then, 2 days ago, this maid attempted to poison us. she added household bleach into a pot of soup that my MIL cooked, thats meant for herself, my hubby and my FIL. all because she claimed my MIL scolded her that morning. But come on, which of us don't scold our maids at some point in time? People, its household BLEACH. can die one. needless to say, all hell broke loose. long story, i dun wanna go into it.but right now she's in police custody. it was a hellish day on Monday. I was on MC actually at home, when my hubby called from my MIL plc (where my kids are that day) to tell me what happened. I rushed down, and what followed was a lot of tears, a lot of dissappointment, a lot of why-did-she-do-it? The scary thing, the very thing that sends shudders down our spine, is the question "what if my son has drunk that soup"? coz he asked for more soup sometimes at my MIL. For some stroke of luck, my MIL has cooked a seperate pot of soup for him that day. and that is bleach-free.
I just feeling very very sad...and pained. Why did she do that? We get along VERY WELL together, and she herself told us she's very happy working here, and she told the police that too.
So....lesson learnt. I am bitten and shy now. very painful lesson. just thank heavens our kids are ok.
