Tupperware’s guarantee

I am sure many people, including myself and in-law who bought Tupperware regretted of purchasing the freezer container. Why? because we tend to drop it and it broke EASILY. Worst, it is ‘man’s made fault’ so no exhange. Sudahlah mahal, tak ada guarantee pulak.

having maids tell me that no tupperware freezer container ANYMORE. Why? because they always drop it. Already 3 pieces gone.

I think tupperware has to come out with a ‘how to handle the freezer container handbook’. Remember to defrost the container before open too.

Asmin’s father

She called back to her father during Raya’s festival. Her father insisted of talking to the employer (Apparently he worked in Malaysia previously).

His first concern is “don’t let my daughter eat pork” & “don’t scold her”.

Come on…we are always thinking about ourselves. When are we thinking about others? If they think about us, they will be saying “please teach her to do things right as she is still young.”

Anyway, we are always somneone’s precious baby. So am I

Lying Agency

My new maid, Asmin finally reached Malaysia a week ago. To our horror, she revealed to me that agency could lie about their personal information. For example,

1. she has not received any education, it stated she had her primary education.
2. They stated she has a 9 months baby boy which she actually have a 6 years old daughter. When I asked her why it is different, she said the agent told her to put it that way.
3. I enquired her about her birthdate, which she took soooo long to tell me. Luckly it is correct but I doubted it.

haiya, whatever it is, their quality sucks!

do you see her around?

This is a picture of my second runaway maid, Sustika. Very intelligent maid. Unfortunately, before she ran away on Saturday, she broke Samuel’s piggy bank and took all his 50cent coins. So, that makes her a thieft.

maid’s sumpah

My temporary maid purposely hide these things in my baby’s stroller. Above these, she closed it with plastic bags and dirty cloth hoping the things would not be discovered.

Malaysian (or even them) believe this is a curse to the family. True or false, am glad that we are protected by God’s shield.

Maid agency

I had experienced with three maid agencies for the total of 4 maids that I took for the past 4 years.

The best is still Princton-their guarantee is none at all as compared to Philimore but their quality in training the maids, definetely unbeatable.

Another agency which I was recommended by a friend in Kajang, totally terrible. few branches they had but terrible.

This recent one, Philimore attracted me because of their ISO 9000:1, they said you have to depend on luck. I recently had an argument with them about a rejected maid.

I employed my third maid from them. Only 22 years old, though stated she had worked in Indonesia for a year, she cannot do anything. Anyway, I sent her for two trainings for the past 2 months, still didn’t manage to brush her skill up.

Till I saw something she did unpleasantly with Daniel. I decided to ‘expel’ her from my family once and for all.

With this, I lost a lot because of Philimore policy. Of course, when we read the rules and regulation, it is always protecting themselves. Like it or not, we have to sign it.

My dissasifaction is this:

if i return the maid with less than a month-I will be penaltied Rm500

If I return the maid after a month (I will be charged Rm200) and not allowed to do so because “I have not given my maid a chance”

Then I continued to use my maid for longer month…you imagine the penalty they have imposed me. They said I should be thankful for having the maid for the months, I said, it is like nightmare. Having nightmares for the past 3 months yet have to pay the penalty (RM600).

What kind of ‘considerate’ policy they had. Anyway, arguing with the manager is useless because she does not want to deal with customers (especially an angry and dissapointed customer like me)

 So, now my maid runaway after a week, they called her R2 (second replacement) and now I have waited for a week plus to see whether their boss (was previously in Cambodia and cannot sign our appeal letter) will approve our situation. According to their rule, we cannot get a free replacement (RM7000 gone!) Worst case, we have to pay for the new maid’s levi, medical etc…Still waiting for her signature.

Runaway maid, without them my life is really terrible-coping with my own house chore is easy kacang but with the money they had stolen from us. I really am definetely angry with whoever involed in the cuprit.

And this government, having to charge us RM200 for running maids…as if like my money falls down from heaven!

So, now I am looking for GOOD AGENCY who wants to be responsible for the maid they recommended to us. If any come across, let me know.

worries above my head

Now, I am very worried how the future will  be again… always living in worries. How I wish I am a full time mother so that my children will be well taken care of. Poor Daniel, having to go through 4 maids-only within 1 year…

Poor me, despite being so busy with office work, now I have to worry about my children again. Mothers…we never stop worring about children.
