For the rest of my life...

beautiful quote for the rest of my life: "The only people you need in your life are the ones that need you in theirs........Life is not about who you've known the longest but it's about who came and never left your side."

Lamanya tak tulis blog...The MAID story... :(

Lately, fikiran serabut... U know why?? I'll tel u why..

jawapan.. MAID PROBLEM....

We hired a new maid, SJN.. arrived early January 2010..came all the way from Medan, Indonesia.. we were happy sbb da ada assistant kan.. So... tak payah dok fikir risau tinggalkan Rees kat rumah orang lama2... Both of us balik x tentu masa.. My journey from home to workplace takes about 1 hour.. itupon lalu Bukit Tinjau Ulu Langat, sngaja tak nak lalu MR2... sbb lagi la jem.. kan?? sama jugak masa yg diambil utk smpai rumah bila habis time kerja.. Lagila terkejar-kejar.. Dapt keluar ofis tepat pukul 6ptg, tu kira nasib baik.. Kadang2 tu 6.15ptg la paling awal aku dapat keluar, masa tu la tengah 'peak hour' other parents berkejar utk dapatkan parking sambil menunggu masa sekolah rendah & menengah tamat... Mmgla bersimpang siur bas2 sekolah yang berwarna kuning di bahu jalan.. Dahla jalan kmpung that I have to go thru...

Eh lari tajuk pulak... nak citer pasal maid.. tercerita pulak pasal nk catch up time nak pegi & balik keje pulak.. sory2'..

Ok.. pasal SJN, satu2 nya maid aku skrg.. So sebagai pembantu rumah & merangkap jaga anak aku aku harap dapatla dia kurangkan beban keje dirumah.. Well her job are:

1. Priority : Jaga Rees while Ibu/Bapak pegi keje (I transitkan diorg di rumah my dad, while I'm off to work).. Sambil Rees tido.. kena kemas rumah & help to do the laundry.. etc... * pandai2 la makan sendiri, selalunya i asked her to pack makanan smlm dinner utk dia mkn her lunch.. so xdela dia terkocoh2 nk prepare makan sendiri kan.. Baik tak aku??
2. Kalau ibu & bapak pulang or ada dirumah: Masak, kemas rumah, do the laundry, gosok baju.

Kalau nak ikutkan, keje dia senang xde lah seberat spt maid2 yg lain.. tapi still x reti2 nak bersyukur..

SJN ni, she always wants freedom.. dok mengata kat maid2 lain epsc to my in-law's maid , keje dia bosan & mudah, tapi majikan x bagi keluar nak pegi jalan or borak2.. Lagi satu hal, she thinks that she's the most perfect woman in the world & sangka dialah paling cantek among other maids.. Always comparing herself with other maids as the perfect one,yg best tu selalu mention yg dia ada body yg cantek??!! So for her, maid2 lain x cantek, semua patut ikut macam dia.. Hey Pompuan! Come onla.. org cantek takan ckap dia cantek la! Jgn nak perasan... Sedarla diri tu! Smtimes I feel like I want to shout at her and say smthing like this "Kalau awak tu cantek sgt, suami awak tu takkan kawin pompuan lain & tinggalkan awak anak-beranak!" But.. I keep on saying to myself.. SABAR la.. no need & its BAD to say to that, I am not as bad as her.. kan?

*One fine day, as I am about to pack stuff & excited to go back to Seremban to meet my in laws, she did something out of our expectation.. The conversation went something like this: **

Date/Time: 13th February 2010 (Saturday, Chinese New Year), early in the morning about 8am...

Scene: Depan TV kat rumah, I am packing Rees's stuff & WN sittting on the couch playing with Rees.

The dialogue went on like this...

SJN: Ibu, saya sakit dada ni.. saya amat rindu pada anak2 saya.. sempena ibu libur (cuti) saya mahu pulang ke kampung sebentar untuk ketemu anak2.. Saya berjanji akan pulang bekerja selepas ketemu anak2 saya..

Me: (SILENCE..SPEECHLESS.. rasa nak jatuh jantung aku siot! looking at WN,he terdiam too.. after few seconds, I tarik nafas panjang..I finally said..) SJN, kamu tak boleh pulang walaupon sekejap, kontrak belom habis, bagaimana ibu bisa bagi kamu pulang..

SJN: (Being so persuasive & buat muka kesian..) Tolong bu', saya pulang sebentar aja bu'' saya janji saya akan pulang, kalau terus begini, saya enggak bisa jaga Hareessa dgn baik.. (dlm hati berkata, ini satu ugutan, x boleh jaga hareessa ngn baik??)

Me: (still speechless.. ) SJN, kamu masuk dalam bilik sebentar, bagi ibu dgn bapak bincang dulu, nanti ibu panggil kamu balik..

(With frustrated look... She walked in her room..)

WN: She really can't go back as stated in the agreement.. let's us give a call to Madam BF (the agent) & let her speak & highlight to SJN that she can never go back until her contract finishes...

Me: (Me being blur & disappointed... WN gv his hand phone & straight away dial Madam BF's number)

Madam BF pick up the phone & I explained the situation , ask her help to speak & explain to SJN that she can't go back at all.. Madam BF asked me to pass me the phone to SJN & please put on the speaker phone so that WN & me can listen their conversation. SJN seems to understand & accepting the fact that she may not be able at all to balik kampung after what Madam BF explained to her..

Still.. me being rasa da tak sedap hati after that morning & terus lagila tak boleh TRUST her after of waht she had done..

Despite that, she keeps on creating issues, x puas dok sakitkan hati maid2 lain.. lately, it involves my family pulak... both immediate & in-laws family.. Terukkan?

Rees was hospitalized for few days at Ampang Putri (APSH) for her prolonged cough.. so the Paed's advised us that Rees needs a observation & proper medical treatment. WN & I, decided to 'tumpangkan' SJN at my dad's house la while I have to be there for Rees at the hospital.. So while I'm away,I briefed her to do the house chores dalam 3 hari 2 malam tu .. Apa lagi, dia tahu aku & WN xde, dia 'tunjuk belangla' kat family aku..

One nite, she asked permission from my bro that she wants to go out for a while jumpa maid jiran sebelah.. So my bro mcm tak tahu nk ckp apa, so bagila dia pegi jumpa kawan dia sekejap.. So my bro kata in 1 hour dia balik.. Then the next following nite, dia keluar lagi, but this time, dia x inform saper2 in the house.. She took the keys & leave the house just like that.. So adek ipar aku pulak la kantoi dia.. Masa tu SJN baru balik jumpa kawan & she saw SJN holding holding the house keys.. So she asked SJN, why did u bring the keys along? U know apa SJN replied?? She said takut nnti bila dia balik , pintu da brkunci & xde saper dgr nak bukakan pintu utk dia.. **SIGH**

So cukup 3 hari, aku bercamping ngn Rees di APSH, alhamdulilah Rees is recovering, so bolehlah discharged.. We singgah my dad's hose to pick SJN la.. Sementara lepak2 tu, my bro & sis in law hantar le report kat kitorg, they told us what happened.. Aku dgr apa yg diorg sampaikan, terus berasap telinga & mendidih darah aku! WN kindly reminded me not to confront SJN yet.. as I'm mentally & physically tired after 3 days taking care of Rees.. So its not a good time for me to confront SJN.. Its a lucky day for SJN.

I confronted SJN , I think after 2 days kut baru I confronted SJN.. sebabnya I was not well bila balik rumah.. caught in a bad flu... GUESS what?? She denied, she said she just went out for a while WITHOUT bringing the keys along with her.. She wants to confront both my bro & his wife.. wah bukan main..BERANI! But I decided not to, I followed my instinct.. because I believe she's good in making up stories.. Kalau dah 2 org saksi, takkan masih x mengaku kot..

My instinct was rite..

After had a discussion with WN & his family, we decided to bring SJN backto Seremban last weekend to have some kind of 'brainwash session' for my maid. My in-laws including their maid yg 'terasa hati' & the agent was there too for the session.. SJN being SJN.. kepala batu & still x nak mengaku salah.. As for me, its such a waste, because SJN being so 'keras hati' will NOT ever mengaku salah sampai mati .. Alasan yg tak boleh diterima, SHE CANNOT REMEMBER...

CONCLUSION..?? what would u do if u r in my shoes..??

to be continueddd... wait for the next episode...
