Tonight is my third night in Ghana. The actual situation in Ghana itself is much better than what I had imagined...but surely it is a totally different set of world out here...
Tai-tai sent me sms earlier - Aisyah knocked herself against the bed and bled her gum, whilst she was trying to calm Aliyah who was already throwing her tantrums demanding for her feed. Later when the two angels had fallen asleep, Tai-tai cried due to exhaustion. I honestly felt very bad and sorry for her, and wished that I was by her side when all these things happened.
Now I can't wait to go back home... looking forward for Thursday evening!

From the Emirates Lounge in DXB
I've just landed at Dubai International. Managed to get about two or three hours of sleep on my seven hours flight from KLIA. In about an hour's time, I will board my next flight to Accra.
Dubai Airport is superb..... and for sure I will be "legally robbed" by the duty free shops during transit on my return journey.

Ghana...here I come!
Yeah! I know it has been quite some time since I last put my words in my blog. But since I came back from Kota Kinabalu, I hardly got some time to put some words into it...days passing by without me realising..and right now I'm sitting in the Emirates Lounge at KLIA waiting for my flight to Dubai, and thereafter to Accra, Ghana for a five days business trip.
A lot of things to update....
On Maid
We got our new maid about two weeks ago. She was nice, sincere, and honest (my first impression). Tai-tai spent quite a number of hours training the maid to do household chores, and the special way to feed Aliyah. It was tough for her but she was a fast learner. Five days passed by before I receive a phone call from the agent informing me that the maid failed her medical test due to hepatitis....(SIGH! - A BIG ONE!!!)
We immediately sent the maid back to the agent, and was given a temporary maid a few days after that. A 22 year old girl, youngest in the family, illiterate and unable to tell the time...(SHOOT!). Tai-tai gave her a chance but unfortunately, she was not capable enough to work with us. We sent her back to the agent... and we were left "maidless" since last Thursday until (hopefully) the end on the month. Since Tai-tai has to come back to work, we had no other choice but to live temporarily in Slim River until the new maid arrives. We just have to commute to work by taking the shuttle bus from Tanjung Malim bus station every morning, and get ourselves used to this arrangement.
