LaundryAmah

Hi I felt it was appropriate that I explain my absence from updating my blog…

Firstly, I’ve been busy with my maid, meaning:

I still do my laundry as I can’t trust her with it…

I have to monitor everything she does…STILL after 2.5 months..

There has been quite a lot of external laundry to do of which I can’t trust the maid to do also…

Then there’s the kids that that drive me up the wall during my mornings…this one is partly due to inefficiency of the maid also…

But actually the real reason is….

Oh gosh….Amah is mesmerised by yet another actor and this time is this China mali mia actor called Chen Kun! He’s sooooooooooooo derrrrrrrrrrrrr cute lorrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! Blek! The drama is so the lomantik and unreal but then again..if it’s real who will like wor?? Right???

Picking up from my last post re meeting with my university mate whom I found on Facebook! Ok this friend is quite a unique person, in fact weird..nevertheless, he was nice enough to meet me and buy me tea. Soon Kieran dominated the conversation and asked him all sorts of questions and this question nearly made me choke on my sandwich…

Kieran-When you sleep with your girlfriend do you take off your shirt??

My friend- *grinning & speechless*

Me-OMG! I DID NOT teach him this ok! Don’t think weird ah!!! Kieran! No manners, young kids cannot ask such questions! *smack!!*

Kieran-*giggling*

I was soooo embarrassed ok..I really didn’t know what to say except that I don’t know where he learn to ask such questions. In fact Kieran did go on asking questions…and my friend kept turning to me and said this…

Friend-Your son is very interesting…intriguing…

*roll eyes* no comment!

My friend had to go off to another appointment (Thank God!) and we parted and we ventured off to shop and Kieran could recognise the place and kept pointing to me, there was the place we ate, that’s the place we stayed…bla bla…wow that was quite good memory as the last time we were there was in June 07. These kind of things so good memory, when it comes to more serious stuff like his music notes and school work cannot remember!

It was only a short while shopping as I was tired and decided to go back to the apartment. “Qu cheh” was busy and couldn’t have dinner with us so her maid cooked for us. It was a simple dinner with the chinese new year waxed sausage but it was best tasting sausage I ever had! It was from the famous Yung Kee at Central HK, next to Lan Kwai Fong. This restaurant is famous for its roasted goose.

We quickly took our showers before “Qu cheh” comes back as there is only one bathroom and/or toilet. Kieran was screaming once I turned off the shower as it was brrrrr cold. The apartment is on the 28th floor and is located slightly uphill…so that explains the cold..

When “Qu cheh” came back, I gave her a good massage after her shower. She was overworked due to the festive season and also the fact that Valentines Day was 2 days away. She said that I should come more often to massage her! My reward? Free stay at her place la!

The next morning we had the bestest homemade “Lorbak ko”. I asked “Qu cheh” to teach me how to make it but she said it’s pointless as we are not able to find the good ingredients back in KL! Potong steam nya!!!!

After breakfast, we took it easy and went down to the supermarket to buy some gifts as I was visiting my university mate. She gave birth to “Long Foong Thoi” (twins, one girl and one boy). She was located in Kowloon and we had to take MTR and then a taxi to her place. She gave me the English address but the taxi driver couldn’t understand me! So I had to call her to ask her again for the Cantonese version…..

Just read about Mott saying how slack she was but I think I’m the slack-iest of them all lor…and I only have 2 kids! Gosh! In a way, it’s a good thing that I’m advised to not have any more kids after Kylie due to gestational diabetes. Cos if I have one more, I may even leave one at the mall without realising it! Sei em sei? (Am I so dead or not?)

Why so slack? Cos middle of last night Kylie was coughing very badly. Then she threw up and I couldn’t move her on time! So some went on the bed, her pjs & the floor mat outside the bathroom. She was crying and didn’t want to be touched or cleaned. So I just left her as she was! But I changed the sheet and put her back to the bed. However, she rolled down onto the floor mat (which has some of her puke) and I saw her from the corner of my eye and guess what??? I didn’t bother and left her there! *Smack*

This morning, woke up and quietly sneaked out so that I don’t wake up my princess and went down to take a peep at Kieran (who’s still sleeping) only to realise that the curtains in the room were not drawn apart! Poor Kieran sleeping in a stuffy room! *Smack Smack*

Then after that, I went to watch tv, surfing through the channels and of course lil princess heard the tv & woke up! She called out to mummy but what did mummy do? Just answered from downstairs and called out to her to come down herself! Then Apoh (grandma) came to her rescue. *Smack smack smack*

When lil princess came down, I was still lying down on the couch and didn’t move an inch even to hug her! That’s so bad…called out to mom’s maid to make her milk! Can u beat that laziness??? Then when Apoh came down, she purrred at Apoh and said this, “Doh away mammie…doh wann mammie…” OMG!! Apoh was of course very happy to hear that cos it’s another chance to condemn me! So of course she echoed..”Yes throw away mummy, lousy mummy! Say bye mummy!” And guess what? I still laid there motionless staring at the tv and didn’t bother! *Smack smack smack smack*

Then I received a call in the office..

Mom - Hey did you feed your daughter her medicine?

Me - YIKESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! errr no lor…

Mom - Aiya you ah..terrible mother…what kind of mother are you…..

………click….

*SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK!!!!*

Oh gosh! What’s happened to me?? So lazy (that’s what Apah & Apoh always say to me!)

10 days more till I kick send the maid back to her homeland. Yet she still has to create problems. I think it was just last month that I accidentally came across her charging her mobile phone in my office building. Where did she get it? Her boy friend it seems…Nothing comes free cos I have a mobile that is missing and she must have nicked it and passed to her so called boy friend in exchange for the cheaper mobile and phone card.

But her RM50 & RM20 prepaids are never enough as I know she has been harrassing my office staff to help her get the prepaid cards to send her endless love messages to her “Ayank” (sayang-ku/my love). I have kept the mobile phone locked up..and never left her alone at home again since then..Apparently my neighbour has seen her boyfriend come to our house and they were holding hands outside. Whether they went in to make out we are still unsure.

HOWEVER….she was able to get another mobile phone again as Angie found her message in tiny weeny piece of scrap paper to one of my staff requesting to help buy her a prepaid card. So this morning, I went into her room to search for the phone but as I was digging into her stuff, I couldn’t find it. Then I noticed my deep fryer machine. I just wanted to check whether she has cleaned it properly and when I opened the box, there lies her new mobile phone, an upgraded version of course! I quickly hid it and then locked it without her knowledge and then quickly said this from upstairs, ” Lets go!” (meaning to leave the house now..) I can see that she’s been inside her room to take her change of clothes and I was wondering if she knows that her phone is missing. I plan not to confront her this time and pretend like nothing happened.

Upon reaching the office, she quickly asked to use my staff’s mobile as she has to urgently message someone. Who else?? Must be to notify her lover to get her another phone! I can’t believe that she’s so daring. Aparently she has a lot of cash to spend as she’s been trying to shove them to my staff to help her get the prepaid card. I am not sure if my staff has helped her but of course they said to me that they have denied to help.

I have planned how I can surprise her the day I send her to the airport. I will make her wear marked under garments & clothing the day before and place her in a place where she will never dream of sleeping in (meaning not my house or my mom’s house or anywhere she would think she will be sleeping in) and then will bring fresh under garments and clothing the day she leaves. I will make sure she returns the under garments that has been marked to me before she goes into the car. Her bag will not be with her of course! So there’s no way she can hide anything anywhere! I will pack her bag only with the things and clothes she brought her from her home and will not allow her to bring back any clothings that we have given to her here. Weyo? Maybe some of you will think I’m so cruel, but for the stress she has put me through, I think she doesn’t deserve anything extra other than her monthly salary!

So what do you think of my plan? Do you think it will work?? But the thought of it also make me so the happy lor….Muahahahahahahhahahaa…..(majorly evil laughter)

Saturday started with roti tissue at Saji..(are u so jeles of me LB? huh?) and then stayed at home the whole day on to bake, no lar…just the first half of the day I baked and the 2nd half chilling..and then gardening..what a wonderful day..doing 2 things I like besides shopping…(now no more sales so mai stay at home lor..)

So the thin & crispy lor this roti tissue….

I tried 2 new recipes, firstly I baked shortbread cookies and then I baked a Chocolate Yoghurt cake. Turned out quite ok, except the part where Kylie destroyed helped to bake the cookies. The cookies were not really consistent in shape and size as I was trying out my cookie cutters. Not all the cookie cutters were suitable. The cookie was too soft and broke easily so I didn’t get too many with perfect shapes to give away.. Maybe I should make them thicker so that it’s easier to maintain its shape… I really liked the Pooh character shapes…so the cute lor!

My destroyer helper

The cake was rising nicely but then it sunk down but not like sunk until down down sunk la…just flattened only lor. I was too lazy to make the topping..eating on its own without the topping was kinda acceptable also…to me la..

Then in the evening I went to pick up my cousins from the airport. They came from Sydney to attend my brother’s wedding! Yes they helped bring back the sheepskin I purposely forgot and somemore peanut butter and Nuttelex Margarine for me!! Yippppeeeee…..

Then Sunday came and we had a birthday to attend but being Amah, as usual “pai woo loong” (got the time wrong) and thought it was 3.30pm but in actual fact it was 2.00 pm. So after church I thought we had some time to kill before the party so we went to Ikea to spend a return voucher I got but ended up buying more, like a lot more than the return voucher of course!

As I was walking up to the party, the birthday girl’s grandfather was walking down and said this, “Yau mo gau chor ah? Yi kar jeng lei..” (What happened, now only came?) I was like huh? Then the birthday girl’s dad was like about to go pay the bill somemore..I was like eh? Not 3.30 meh? Birthday girl’s mummy was like laughing at me..ok lor me saw the message wrongly..sorry lor!! Poor Kieran was soooo disappointed and scolded me non stop for not getting the time right! hahahaha…Sorry lor…

It was your birthday yesterday and I forgot! *smak*

I was listening to Jacky Cheung’s CDs (cos me trying to get into the concert mood..kekekke) and then this song really made me think of Leslie lor..”chik si nei lei hoi, ngor yit ching mei goi…” (eventhough you left my love for you will not change…) ayoooo..ya lor…my love for Leslie will not change lor…missing you Leslie..
