ourlittleone: At last maid is here..

At last after the long wait, Thi Thi Kway, our maid is here on Friday. Me and Mr went to fetch her from the agency. The feeling was like very weird, cos I never in my mind tot that I will have a maid. So feeling confused what should I do there when I go fetch her. I even asked Mr must shake her hands, say Welcome to our family ornot. Lol. He say shake your head la. Haha.. So we just signed papers, she read her Do and Don't aloud in Myanmar language which we all also dunno what she reading. Then agent asked if we want to keep her $5 since we have the right to keep any monetary stuffs. But of cos, I don't see the need to keep it since is only $5! What can she do with $5?! Run away? Anyway, after all paying and signing of papers, we brought her back, she said BYEBYE to her fellow "maids" that are still in the agency. Really funny feeling. The beginning of "what will happen from this time onwards" life. We do not know what to talk to the maid, so only me and Mr talk to ourselves in the car, except asking her what she want to eat. So I brought her to the hawker center, buy her Cai Fan, let her pick her own dish, end up she only wanted a TOFU, thinking where got enough for her, I picked pork for her. What a good employer she has right?! lol. End up she didn't finish her food, left half. We all tot she is a small eater! Haha. But can't tell cos is only first day. Lucky she know abit of english and speak abit. Still not too bad.

Today is her 5th day at our home. Till now, I think we all are stressed up, especially us. We really do not know how to communicate to her, or tell her what things she should do. Having only a 3 room flat, seemed like very little things to be done. But somehow, there are things that we want her to do but end up didn't tell her, dunno why. And felt that we are wasting our money to have a maid. Or rather, felt even more stressed up with a maid, everyday thinking what to give her to do. Seeing her nothing to do and boring, make us lagi more stressed. Just like last night, she got nothing to do after dinner, like 8pm plus, she just sat on the floor looking at the Guan Yin and the dog, until my mil tell her to go to sleep which was like 9pm and her normal sleeping time is 10pm. Argh.. got maid also shang nao jing, no maid also felt so helpless. So far, still can't judge her working performance, cos is only the 5th day. So far, she has learnt to iron the clothes, mop the floor (my mil said is still not very clean though she mop for 2 to 3 hours, faintz.), use the electronics, walk the dog, feed baby, make milk, wash bottles, and always I have to remind her to wash her hands before carrying Chloe! And also to remind her to wash her hair everyday as she is not used to bathe everyday back in her hometown. Gosh.
I really hope she will do better, and also me and Mr to be more firm and fierce in instructing her what to do. And also we decided to do monthly performance review with her, if she performs well, we will give her a 13month bonus.. Haha.. Sounds cool right. I really wonder if she keeps on wanting to carry Chloe rather than do housework is it a GOOD thing? I really don't want just to spend money just employing a maid to carry baby, though is a good thing that she likes kid. But she also has to keep the house clean and do her chores well, and not just anyhow. Haiz. Really hard to train a maid.

But everyday she has tons of clothes to wash, at first she used her hands to wash, but slowly just only 4th day mil tot her how to use the washing machine. We still originally tot just let her hand wash since she got nothing much to do. haha. But I see that big ton of clothes piling in the toilet I also scared. Haha.. Maybe we all waiting for the maid to come then one shot throw all our dirty clothings to her to wash. lol.

So happen, that we packed our room on Sat, just only me and Mr, cos we do not know how to instuct the maid to help us. Cos she also dunno how we want our room to be. So end up, we felt we are more like maids. Haha. We rearranged all the furniture in our room, and packed up all the unwanted stuffs. Then just happen we took some of my sister in law stuffs to wash. And one of them was the shrek ears hairband. Haha.. yesterday evening the hairband was dried and left on the sofa, and Chloe was sitting on mil's lap, and I don't know why, I think I too free, went to put that hairband on Chloe's head. Haha. And quickly ran to take the camera. Bo liao right. But is cute! I even took it and wear it and showed it to her, she just gave me a blur face! Must be thinking why I got green ears!

Below are the cutiest pictures of the day. Haha. :)
