Well, it is expected that getting a domestic helper will have some issues when handling with her needs and all..she is however a human being like you and me.. thus, i always try to put myself in her shoes.. as in how she is feeling and thinking.. being trapped in a home doing the work while seeing your employers shaking legs and enjoying their days at home ..
She is however a 23 years old.. so young still..but sometimes see the way she do thing. i really think.. if she is not serious why she wanna commit herself in this field ? sometimes see her like half-hearted to do her work.. do for the sake of doing..
sometimes in our work, we too not so commited. so i can understand. let her b lor.. once awhile she skip here and there.. i just open one eye close one eye .
when she first arrived, i asked if she needs to call/write home or send money home. she said no need. she dun have to call/write or send money home. and deep in we tot.. wahh. so "boleh" ? she said the money she earns is for herself she does not need to take care of her family. well. be with it lor..her own money anyway.
End of October, when i gave her salary, she told me, if she wanna call home to talk to her grandma, can she do that.of course she can, cos it'll be from her own salary anyway. but she said not now, some other time.
yesterday, she asked me for permission to call home as she has things to ask her father. i asked her, "i tot last time u said no need to call ?" she said cos she has things to ask her father. well, ok lor, i just help her to get the phone card. she even know how much the card costs.
so, we knew that, sometimes i ask her to get things from convenient shop.. and bring her to market. i guess tt's how she found out about the phone card and she even take note of where the public phone is. so, you can tell she is "Im no stupid " she already have in mind where and how much is the card costs and where she can make the phone call.
i noticed too, that some things she told us..she twisted it when ask her again some other time..wonder is b'cos her english is not good and we misintepreted her or she is lying..she said her last employer did not pay her as they let her study at night.i even told her.. "like that you must be tired? morning work whole day, night still study ? ".. she some more replied "yes, it is"..
But today when i asked since she din get salary how can she call home then ? she told me she called home from her previous employment. But this time, she said she is paid. her studies is when she worked in her home town before she took up her previous employment. as maid too. ??? so, now she said another thing. but she did not specify in her resume she worked in her homw town before. she said agency told her no need to specify. ohh well..
sigh, having a stranger at home is not so easy. we have to still guard her movements and observe her. so sian.. but i think so long she can help to do the housework as instructed. Good work or not is another matter of course.. then we will just let it be lor..
just hope she wont have more weird behaviours..
