.:: Replacement Found ::.
My Bebeh ended up taking a MC for today....so expected of him....hahaha....anyway, nevamind as he seldom takes MC (unlike of me..heheh!)So managed to call Abg Azman from the maid agency and he advised us to come down to his office and choose a new maid since I'm still eligible for a free replacement.....
Actually, there's only 1 lady from Cilacap (my old man was saying the gals from Cilacap are preety hardworking & very independant and e.gs are like Bibik Narisah, Bad, Lis & Maria who are from those part of Indonesia) BUT she's too expensive for me as I got to top up extra 'kechinggs' for the package and her monthly salary if i really want her.....So there goes my Cilacap gal.....
Narrowed down to 2 gals....1 with 2 months of experience at HK and the other with 2 yrs of experience working at Surabaya.....After consulting with my mom, decided to go with the 2 yrs of experience.....interviewed her through the phone but she just sound so depressing, sound like being tortured gitu....(not a good sign if I were to choose her!)....furthermore, she doesn't know how to cook (an important criteria for my mom) as her previous duties with her old employer was to take care of the employer's 6yr old child & do minimum housework......So there goes my 1st choice...
Then, Ameera, the lady working at the maid agency passed me a porfolio of another lady....she's only 23, has no working experience but used to household chores, knows how to cook and took care of her own child.....Interviewed her thru the phone and the minute I said 'Hello', she greeted me with a salam....(a good start!) ....and she sound very positive and she's willing to learn....when tested her cooking knowledge, she managed to come out with the main ingredients for cooking Rendang....(not bad, eh..)...and under her observation remarks, the agency commented that she's hardworking and neat & tidy (telaten), something which i need in a maid, so we ended up choosing her...hopefully, she won't disappoint us.....of course la we got to train her (since got zilch experience) but at least she can cook Rendang and she's telaten! Heeehee...
I guess, the main reason my heart was choosing her was because she started off with a salam, able to cook, willing to learn and sound cheerful & positive.....the rest, is yet to be proven....
After that, we went to Bukit Merah to meet Jason to pay him our wrot iron gate and after that shopped a travelling bag for Sri....(After telling me she wanted to end her contract, she's like so eager to go home....asked me to buy for her bag la, shoes la....) da la...aku da tawar hati dgn si Sri...the earlier the new maid, Dina comes the better so that I can send Sri off.....she just disappoints me.....Mom & me have been tolerating with her attitude, which at times slow in her work and ended up she's the one who wanted to go back.....da la...maybe its a blessing in disguise...apa2 yg terjadi ada hikmahnya, insya Allah....
