My long silence 2015...

Its been long time since my last post..Among the reasons why this blog has been long abandoned:

1. Busy with commitment. Harris was 12th last year..Being maidless with busy schedule at home and work..never been easy to juggle. Yes, we had maid on and off somewhere end of last year. The first last for about 3 months. Then, we were offered by agent for another replacement. Nonetheless, the replacement was even worst than the 1st..as she last only 2 weeks with us..The 2nd maid was with us for about 3-4 days. Very good, obedient and I can say hardworking too..I guess, she actually had better plan even before she joined us. She brought her heavy bag pack with her when we said to her that she would be staying with my mom for a week together with the kids. I can say, its never been cheap taking maid. We were paying about 7.5k to the agent and when the 1st maid ran away, we were obliged to pay the agent for additional RM 500 that she so called as registration fee and the 3 months salary. Our 1st maid in 2014 named was Tini. She is nice lady and clean. However, she is too fragile and homesick. Because of that reasons she became very sensitive even with every small things we talked to her. As an employer with another commitment at office, I have no interest to know in deep when she has started to 'mengada2'. But, I really pissed off when I came to know in the end that she was returned by her 1st employer because her tricked to be returned to her hometown was not working. Whether or not she was pretending with her ex-employer that she was sick, I really have no idea. But, the story broke when she was talking to my mom about her thought for being sick with her ex-employer to be sent back right away to Indon was unsuccessful. Instead, her ex-employer sent her back to agent. Everything was so pleasant in the 1st week she was with us and she started her drama during Raya Haji when she was asking for my SIL maid to call her husband. That was the starting point she started very weak and sick! She was vanishing from home when left her at house while attending my 3rd &4th born end of the year ceremonies. Few weeks past, we had replacement. Her name is Us. She was from the same origin as Tini. But, perhaps, it wasn't our luck to have a maid. Us was running away end of last year. The funny thing, she was running away from my mom house without any reasons. My mom kept saying, shes leaving because she didn't want follow me back home. I just ignored, whatever, my mom said. Because I knew, that I wasn't do anything wrong to her. She was with me only 3-4 days and the rest she was with my mom back at kampong and I knew she hadn't much work to do as compared when she was at my home. She was not even do any cooking at my mom house except helping. Beginning from this bad experience, we have no more trust to maid from Lombok. Even, based from my reading over the net, most maid from Lombok came here for stepping stone. After they been located with their employer, they will run away to find their loved ones. Just about the same story as Tini. Yes, it is true, very painful to see your money flowing out without much return or even break even. Investment on maid for last year, really not putting us in a good luck. Even though it was painful, I believe there is beauty behind the disguise. Better they are leaving us now cause we believe Allah knows what best for us.

2. We've been in tight schedule to juggle between work and family. Both of my elder kids went for night tuition. H/ever, we stopped them from the night tuition center and tried for private tuition teacher. The fees was damn expensive. But, kids were happy with the teachers.

3. I was pregnant again.

4. We have staff attitude issues at office that really drive me crazy and thanks Allah, now, our office environment getting better after those baddies leaving, huh! How can you work with someone who have no respect to you? Or staff although has been appointed as leader, taking advantage of his subordinate works without proper checking?? We had strict implementation commencing last year. Beginning from the strict impose we can see people start to respect policy and those unable to align with the Company is leaving. But, we have no regret, people leaving especially those unwillingly to show any improvement even though with number of counselling or improvement session.

5. Last but not least..I forgot what is the username and password of blog. Haha!
