Maid, oh maid.
I have a maid. She is mostly what every employer expects from a maid, hardworking, responsible, quite friendly, wise, experienced, yadda yadda yadda, all BUT obedient.
This fella apparently has a major problem taking instructions from us. You see, she's old. Like, REALLY old. The nanny, world war II kinda old, which makes us look like babies in comparison.
So, in my opinion, she automatically thinks she knows better than us, you know, like how the old saying goes, "Aku makan garam dulu dari kau". The fact that she has 7 kids and 12 grandchildren reinforces her stubborness.
I have thousands of stories to illustrate this, but i'll only tell you one:
She has the habit of holding kimi in one hand while pouring HOT water from the HOT kettle with another hand. Yeah, I know, *GASPS*!! I've seen her doing that like, zillions of times, while ach, a couple of times, has seen her FRYING cekodok while holding my precious ONE AND ONLY son. On the numeorus occasions I saw her doing these things, I'd only tegur and tell her nicely but strictly *translated to: I didnt yell but I still put that bitchy face on*:
"Bik, kan saya dah kata jangan pegang kimi sambil tuang air panas."
She'd react by putting kimi down and continue tuang air. OR sometimes give lame excuses like:
"Takkk, tak puann saya betulkan cerek ini mereng (that's mengiring in their language)".
Totally annoying.
Then one day, she did it again right in front of my eyes. I told her the same thing again. This time, she answered like this:
"Alahh takpelah puannn, sikit aja"
THAT, at once, triggered my bitchy-boss-from-hell button. Man, I cant even describe how freakin MAD i was to hear my effin maid answered that way to me I immediately launched my bitchy attack by yelling and screaming at her:
"Banyakla tak apa. Kalau kena air panas tu kena kat anak saya bukan anak awak. Kalau kena yang susah saya bukan awak. Suka hati nak kata tak apa tak apa awak ingat awak siapa? Tak paham bahasa saya kata tak boleh tak boleh la yang susah sangat nak dengar tu kenapa??????"
Something along that line la.
Then couple of minutes later, she came to me sobbing, "Maaf ya puan, tapi saya nak balik la"
Ha amek, memang lagi skali kau da trigger bitchy button aku. I launched my second series of nuclear-mega-bitchy attack. I dont need to explain what happened next, suffice to say that I wont let her go back before the 2 year is up.
Fuh penat type meluahkan perasaan. Oh before I sign off, i must let you guys know, except for that, she takes really GOOD care of my son, she really does. It's just, I just dont like her. No matter what she does, I dont like her. Tehehehe.
Ach said its because I'm jealous because she spends more time with Kimi. Tehehe. I couldnt agree more. So I think, I wont be hiring any more maids after this. Dear hubster, please bear with bersepah house after this ok? And pls learn to gosok your own baju =P
Obviously, I'm too emotional to have a maid.

Actually I thought I'm just being impossible, but I treated my sister's maid like a family! She stayed with us since 4 years ago just until recently. I've always remembered to buy her fav roti potato everytime I do my groceries.
Sadly, I cant say the same for the current maid. I know I shouldve been nicer but there's this THICK wall between us that just stops me from smiling sweetly to her. Haih. Ego la tu.
