The new maid

Today, went to the maid agency to "select" the temporary maid so that ah gong can discharge from hospital this Saturday. Dunno was it the cab ride, I felt unwell when I get there. Worse was that I felt that the agent helping us with it is not helping us. She knew that the original maid who was in Indonesia went back to hometown thus can't come Spore within 2 wks but she didn't tell us! And she blamed us for delaying doing the required quiz for employing maid. So mad lo. And then she gave us a uncertain answer of when they will be able to contact that original maid. And left us with no choice to use this particular temp maid cos there is no other available. What is tis man... I'm glad Joyce was there to show the agent our unhappiness about their service. I gave a straight face cos I wasn't feeling well.

Anyway, we got the temp maid to go to the hospital to get her to be trained by the therapist on helping ah gong. Wow. We were surprised that ah gong can actually walk with minimal assistance! He reali recover real fast considering he's already 91yrs old. It's only 2mths ago that he fell and went thru op and now he can walk... He's a strong man... No wonder Victor loves him and admire him. Vic always say ah gong is a very nice man and loves his wife.

Back to the maid. I brought the maid back to our house to do some simple chores. Man, it's so difficult to get things for maid to do.. I got her to sweep and mop the floor. Then iron some of my tops and folded all the clothes. I even took out all the "mess" in Andrew's room and the "mess" in Vic's cupboard for her to fold. I mean, it's alot of clothes la... After that I just told her to sit and wait for the agent to bring her back. I think I gotta do a proper list of things for her to do when she's here.

Just this has drained me out today. Feel so tired... Dunno wat's wrong today. Feel tired tired tired. I took the medicine leh. My voice oso a bit low and "numb?". I think I strained my voice a bit since Sunday. Cos I was talking alot since then. I muz try to restrain myself. Can't spoil my vocal chords. The doc only say can't raise my voice leh, never say can't talk... Hmmm...

I think I better have an early night. Very tired. O ya.. I think today is the first time I didn't wake up in the middle of the night when I slept. I slept from 3am to like 9am straight. Then I went back to sleep again till 12pm. Wow... dun envy. *wink*

GOODNITE! SWEET DREAMS!
