I. JUST. CAN'T. TAKE. IT. ANYMORE.
OK, just imagine you have a really busy schedule and you're consistently caught in a whirlwind. The only time you get to read the papers is when you're sitting at the john. But because you're a nice person, you said OK when someone asked you help them perform some transactions. You don't see how you're going to fit it into your schedule but you don't have the heart to say 'no'.
You organize some of the stuff and got things going a little. Now, things got stuck a little cause the schedule conflict cannot be ignored - it's screaming at you! You inform that person that you're sorry and would it be OK if they made a trip somewhere to collect the documents and then deliver it to a place.
Wah, you know what or not? The fler got the fooking cheek to say, "OK lah, OK lah! Hopeless lah, ask you to do things!"
Wah-lan-eh, right there and then, my blood went past boiling point.
Why the hell do I have to do it for you? I am doing you a favor and the least you can do is, not say thank you, but to be appreciative and then lend a helping hand lah! And the fler really got nothing else better to do anyway and push everything on my plate....for what?!
I question myself sometimes, the things that I pile on top of my plate. Actually, I did not intentionally pile this up on my plate. I did not have the heart to say 'no' because they're not familiar with the process and I've always done it for them. But that a darn sorry excuse to take me for granted!
What do I look like.....like I live a life of sheer luxury, picking diamonds every other day and jetsetting around the world without a care?! Ludicrous! I am so done being a stupid idiot.
And nobody calls me 'hopeless' without a good reason! NOBODY!
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 crime, I f…
