an update..

just when i thought the maid issue at home was settled when we send our previous maid-J away..it sort of got alittle messier in the week just before she was sent home in a plane.

..was afraid she won't get paid for her 1 week + of work in April.
my mum eventually gave her a full month's pay..

..chalked up 600mins (approx.$75) of talktime in March/early April..using a SIM card that was on loan to her.
very smart..use what you can't afford..

..kept mum about her usage & didn't once mention anything about paying for her bill for March.
the audacity!

..approached neighbours several times for biscuits (which she didn't finish..it's still in my fridge), claiming that there was nothing to eat at home.
LIAR. everyone could tell she put on significant weight after she joined us.

..bragged to other maids that her father was rich and could afford a maid at home.
UH-huh... so what is she doing here then..?

..distorted the truth about who paid for her ticket home.
it was my family, not her so called 'rich' dad who paid for her ticket

..borrowed S$300 from another maid from our block.
..tried in vain, to borrow more money from the same maid.
i wonder what sob story she used on the poor girl..

..failed to return the $300 and didn't bothered to inform her friend about payment.

..borrowed baggage from another maid..and took that home with her.

..attempted to drag home 35kg of stuff (that we gave away) home. 18kg of which was housed in a luggage, the rest was in plastic bags.
once again..smart. did she think they were gonna let her check her 5 plastic bags in?


not only did she not do a good job for my family. she caused so much trouble for others around her!
what i don't get is how she claims she's in financial trouble but her concept of money and spending betrays her. she took EVERYTHING for granted. either that or she's damn dishonest and will take advantage of any privilege she's given.
but whatever it is..she's a terrible liar.

even her agents are puzzled at her behaviour. according to the lady who is housing J temporarily, says she behaves like a brat..fussing over food like she's the princess of the house.

the last i heard..she's gone back home but will be back in another week.
the agency apparently found her a new employer where she has to care for a elderly but still very active woman.

if she thinks she can take advantage of the old lady coz of her age..she is so wrong.
i can only hope that she meets a family much stricter and harsher than mine.
teach her a lesson.
she needs it anyway.
