An update: My Kakak is finally here! She's here! She's finally here!!! She's very young and a little bit inexperienced in terms of housework but never mind, I am pretty patient with these type of things. Very soft-spoken (or no-spoken because there's still a little bit of language barrier here) and obedient. Timid and scared as well but I keep telling her 'tak apalah, relax saja dulu' (don't worry, relax first now) because she so mengan-cheong (anxious) about what to do, how to do, when to do, where things are and stuff like that. Aiya, never mind lah, I keep telling here. Slowly lor....
For me, she's like an angel because she' here to save me from all the non-stop housework that I have to do. Never imagine that four people can wear so many clothes, eat so much food, use so many cups and dishes and produce so much litter! Like never-ending. So, with her here, at least I can unload those stuff on her liao! Yipeee!!!
Hopefully, I would have more free time now to deal with the business and the writing. Been MIA-ing from some clients these days because REALLY GOT NO TIME TO DEAL WITH THE PROJECTS. Not that I don't want to do but between cooking, cleaning and dealing with the kids, how to have time for anything when the day is over. No time to catch up on my VCDs and my books, you know.
The only daily thing that I deservedly and jealously do is my spa-thing. The aromatherapy, the lotions, the scrubs, the massages and the yoga and meditation.
As they always say 'ming thin wui kang hou' (tomorrow will be better)....let's hope so.
Sidenote: Bringing in a live-in maid has become SO BLOODY EXPENSIVE!!! Almost RM8k these days! Last time, I remember spending only about RM3k or something like that! Bloody hell! And the salary also not cheap these days. I think it's better, if you're looking for help, if you employ locals now, actually. But nothing beats having someone around 24/7, right? Yeah...I know.....
