I have a wok problem

Listen, it's good that I have a maid now, right? But you know how it is when a person's got his or her own kitchen...it's MY KITCHEN!!! Blardie shit, it's MY KITCHEN!!!! hee hee hee... Anyway, this maid of mine (below twenty years old) very enthusiastic about opening a restaurant or something when she goes home, so, she always asking me to let her cook. But the problem is that it's MY FOOD and I want to eat what I LIKE TO EAT, so, she have to cook it MY WAY, right or not? But no wor, she wants to cook it her way wor. The problem is....I also like to cook the things that I want to eat....but she keep fighting with me to test-drive her cooking skills. Every time, very very early, she will ask me whether she can cook or not? I am like....what the FFFF! It's 9.45am morning and you want to cook what??? Use who's chicken? Who's beef? Who's sayur? Who's soya sause? Who's.... OK OK OK....I am getting way overboard here because I am a little miffed because I've been asked 'Can I cook this?' for the whole month liao. When I marinate something, I mean, I have something in mind lah, right? And I know what my kids like, (and I LIKE) so I have something in mind liao mah (already). So, this fler (fella), always come and ask me whether she can come and cook it like this, cook it like that....sigh.... If I want her to help me cook, then I will ask lah. If not, then I will just ask her to potong the sayur (cut the veg) and wash the Fooking wok lah, rite or not??? It's MY FOOKING KITCHEN, MY FOOKING FOOD AND MY FOOKING KIDS! I get to decide what to cook with the food that I buy..... GGGGgggggrgrrrrrrrrrrrrr.... I have a maid who is fighting for the wok with me....shikes! Ok, maybe you're saying 'Maybe she only wants to help out leh?' True. I asked her 'You really wanna help out with the cooking, isn't it?' (albeit a little bit sarcastically, but the sarcasm flew over her head like a cuckoo bird). And you know what she said? "I want to take the opportunity to learn how to cook here". WOY!!! This is playground for you ah?? This is not a cooking school....this is my house, my family you're talking about! Don't test-test here! You wanna test, use your own money, stay at home and test all you want! We will try to accomodate your eating habits, your favorite dishes and all that but ultimately, it's still my home, right or not? I strongly believe that I also have to learn how to accommodate another person in the house. This is a time to learn....and I blardie hell have to learn fast, man!! p.s. In all other areas, she's fine. Maybe I am overprotective of my kitchen lah. And also maybe I can border on severely maniacal about the food that my kids eat....OR MAYBE I JUST FOOKING PMS-lah! But don't worry lah, folks. I won't quarrel with her or murder her or throw her off the fourth floor. I am quite good at swallowing air (tolerance level rather high). I am sure this will come in handy at swallowing fire (anger) as well. I am just gonna swallow it...just like that...kkkkooootttttt....down the throat to maintain mental health and peace in the home. But still sipet tulan (super pissed off), you know keep hearing it two three times a day....

A Liberating Activity - Guess What Mine Is....

When asked what’s my one single favorite thing to do in the world, I would usually name a whole list of things that I love to do when my work is not screaming at me. Something that takes my mind COMPLETELY off of everyday tasks and relaxes me. Take a guess what it is…. If you say ‘ reading ’, yes, I love reading (especially soppy love stories with lots of sex scenes, please. Hee hee hee ….) and I also love mystery novels but it’s not the first on the list. If you say ‘ playing the piano ’; yes, I love playing the piano. Creating forms a huge part of my life and whenever I play the piano (as inept at it as I am), there’s this tiny little girl inside of me jumping up and down with glee, clapping her hands. It’s my childhood dream to be able to play the piano! And thumping on the keys gives me a sense of satisfaction when I hear the music. If you say ‘ writing ’; You’ve got to be kidding me! You mean I don’t write enough as it is? Case closed. If you say ‘ playing with my kids ’; Yea...

Maid Side-Kick

I was kind of a little sad when I read the news about this - there will be no live-in Indonesian maids in Malaysia anymore . There are pros and cons to having a live-in maid, as with everything else, but for us, we enjoyed more pros than cons. Back then, when my kids were little, we brought in a family of maids to help with...well, just about everything, and we were like two families merged into one. They ate what we ate, we sleep, they sleep, we shop, they shop, they joke, we laugh, we joke, they laugh...for me, the maid I hired was more like a sister and side-kick to me. For that few years, I was dependent on her to mind-read my schedule and when I need or don't need help. She picked things up quickly and we ended up having lots of moments whereby we were in sync. Today, two of them are on my Facebook and we were gleefully chatting over Facebook Messenger since they've just discovered the wonders of the Internet and Social Media. Since we were more like partners in crim...

Demanding a Balanced Lifestyle

We live in a world choked with demands….demand for more money, better lifestyle, more holidays, smarter kids, bigger house, posher cars….etc. People walk around with spiritually unimportant goals in their minds driven by the need to succeed and be better than others around them. Hong Kong. South Korea. Japan. Most Asian countries suffer from this ill-fate which have caused a horrific rise in the number of suicide rates in the said countries. Malaysia is no exception as well although we’re very slowly gaining ground on our neighbors. Just picking up my son from school can become a stressful affair. I’ve mentioned this to a few friends of mine over the phone and all of them cluck their tongue shake their head. It’s end of the year and the kids are getting their test results back by now. I overheard a couple of tai-tais (housewives) gripe about their kids’ results. Mom: I don’t know-lah. My kid did not do very well this term. The best also got 95 only. (NINETY FIVE ONLY???) ...
