Mio still sux !! lol
It has been really busy at work. It is that time of the year where we have many activities & projects going on at work. Its good though. I'd rather this than boring long days.
Set up pics at gallery yaaaaaay ! Picked up the statues to accompany the pics as well. Will probably add on more pics along the way. Setting up the statues & doing the lighting tomorrow.
Our domestic help, cora, who is in her 50s is retiring. She has been with us for a good 8 years & we can see that she is tiring & slowing down. She has been really great with not only the kids but also with hubby's fam & mine. We will miss her when she goes. It will be next year that she leaves, when her passport expires & the thought of getting a replacement is scary. Btw, she has been working here for so many years she ought to have PR status. She was some 10 or 12 years with another family here before us.
I had an Indonesian maid for one month & that was enough. The lies, the stealing, the bangladeshi boyfriends, threatening our kids not to tell, feeding kids biscuits, cup noodles for lunch while we were not home...bitch ! We are fairly easy going employees I think. So calling that one a bitch really says something about her.
Our very first maid from Sri Lanka was with us for 2 years & she was alright till she became cocky. So we decided not to extend her contract lest she became bolder. But she did love sarah & came to see her when she returned to work here.
Our second maid, nora, who is Filipina, was with us for 4 years. Oh before that we had one from Myanmar for a month. A very nice girl but not cut out to look after kids & that wouldn't do cos the kids were really young then. Anyway, nora who was with us for 4 years returned home becos of poor health. We still keep in touch with her & she is always asking about the kids.
Then along came cora, our current help. About 4 years into her contract she had to go home for a major op. She wasn't sure if she wanted to come back.
That's when the bitch came.
Fortunately I decided to call cora & she was happy to come back to us. We have been really lucky with domestic help except for that one bitch. We aren't looking foreward to getting the new one when cora goes but what to do...sigh.
Lament for the day : hubby is annoyed cos windows vista sux !
