I'm actually on medical leave today due to my badly swollen right ankle. Although I was in pain, I took the opportunity to run some unavoidable errands, which included applying for the Check-out-Memo from the Immigration Department for my maid. She's going back on the 11th next month, and I hope that my daughters, especially Aisyah, won't miss her that much.
Time flies very fast. Exactly two years ago we forked out almost four grant to hire a stranger to live inside our house as a domestic helper, babysitter and cook for us (although her main job functions are the first two from the list). For me and Tai-tai, although we were very comfortable with Kak Fauziah and her family in Pandan Indah who used to babysit Aisyah last time, we came to realise that it was not fair to leave Aisyah with them beyond the reasonable timing as they also have other things to do. Plus they need some time to be with their own family members, especially in the evening. Taking into consideration our work commitment, we had no other choice but to hire a live-in maid.
I hope that the new in-coming maid is as good as our outgoing one...or perhaps even better!
