you know. i wish there were better laws protecting foreign domestic workers here, ie. maids. i mean like, here i am at home, and i cant do anything, cos im like not paying her salary and all. its like, its a contract man. you cant just break it like that, whether employer or employee. its not that theyre not hardworking k. you, are just being anal, perfectionistic, and control-freak-ish. is it any indication to you at all, that none of the last i dunno how many lasted their entire term here? oh, oh yeah. i forgot. there's something called coincidence. and of course, pure bad luck. oh yes, musnt forget your altruistic side as well. you do take in those rejected by other employers too, sometimes. but come off it. you know, if it were just the work alone, it wouldnt be half as bad, would it. its rather more than that. remember that saying, sticks and stones may break my bones but words will break my spirit? (or something like that at least) it is the constant reminder that you, are just a maid. you, are not paid to think. you, cannot do simple household chores to with a sense of respoonsibility ie. to my towering, near-impossible standards. and omg. you cant even do these simple household chores right! omg, how... dumb does that make you? something close to very? okay, no. not in these exact words. but still. even in slightly nicer sounding words, drummed in day-in-day-out somethings gotta give. imagine. foreign environment, no companionship for most of the time, practically no time for adaptation, training back there barely prepares you for whats in stores, few avenues of help. is it any wonder that they start doing stuff thats unacceptable? and besides, wth. for 300+ what do you expect. i wish there were something i could do.
anyways. sometimes i wonder just what my dad does in his job. mangoes sent from malaysian royalty, running with sm goh, tv interviews. wow anyone?
