owh! pasar malam...

i am very sure semua orang pun akan or pernah jejak kan kaki pergi pasar malam kan?

well... pasar malam, tak kiralah kat mana... ayu paling suka pergi sebab i like the laksa and the fruits.

sumpah best beli buah kat pasar malam.

so, ni cerita perihal pasar malam kat area paramount garden.

dah memang menjadi routine ayu & family shopping buah buahan kat sini. almost every week.

ayu & mom memang suka makan fruits. so, stock kat rumah memang kena selalu ada.

nice kan nampak the oranges??

nyum nyum... ni bigD & lilD sekali hadap leh settle ni.

owh yes, mereka berdua juga suka makan buah...

niat utama memang nak beli buah la kan?

but mom being mom.. hatinya tergoda nampak petai yang fresh itu.

gerai yang jual petai ni pulak, tu je lah yang melayu.

yang lain, di dominasi dek kaum tiong hua.

memang arrrrr paramount ni area derang pun. but no hal la kita nak datang kan?

kata satu Malaysia.

eh! tetiba.

:P

sayur mayur pun layan gak pasar malam ni.

mom being mak mak... for sure la akan survey2 jugak.

kena la compare kan harga and also kadar keperluan kehendak segala kan?

trust me.. my mom is very good in that.

=)

anak2...sorang pun tak ikut.

hiks....

yang kanan sekali tu yang berbaju pink itu ialah maid.

kalau siapa yang ada add me kat facebook, memang tau la ayu ada update status pasal maid lari lagi kan?

ha.. itulah maid nya.

cerita mangkuk tu kemudian lah yer. :)

so, apa cerita pasar malam anda?

Blurbings By,

isu hangat perihal pembantu rumah!

by now.. ayu sangat pasti yang kita semua or atleast rata rata rakyat Malaysia dah lali dengan perasaan yang agak bercampur baur perihal issue maid ni kan?
personally, ayu MEMANG SANGAT TAK BERSETUJU dengan cadangan RM800 sebulan and also fees yang sangat tinggi ) almost RM10K nak bawak masuk seorang maid.
a big NO!


issue maid ni.. bukanlah pertama kali nak di bangkitkan dalam blog ku ini yer..
more stories on maid..our own experience can be found at this link...


as i said before.. siapa la yang punya akal fikiran yang amat bijak pandai sampai RM800 sebulan letaknya nih??
maybe, ada orang akan kata, tak yah la pakai maid.. baby sitter kan melambak...
but of course, banyak jugak domestic issues kalau baby sitter ni pun yer.. bukan tak de.. ada jugak masalahnya...
baby sitter ker.. maid ker.. sama jer.. ada baik and ada buruknya...


risiko tetap ade..
yes, that's the risk lah and jugak ikut nasib..
but.. RM800 is way too melampau..
i can go on and on on this..


but tak nak!
sebab nanti orang akan kata kita yang banyak cekadak..
kita yang cakap kosong..
kita jugak yang salah!


satu je yang ayu nak tunjuk ye..
KELALAIAN maid...
ni maid lama punya keje..
careless masa dukung lilD..
back then, she's only 2...
alamak ternangis dah bila teringat...



itu lilD.. korang pun selalu gak tengok dia lam blog ni kan?
but today let me reveal something yang korang tak pernah tau..
masa ni lilD baru setahun...


part mana yang korang perlu fokus?
GIGI.
tengok betul betul, ok?


satu hari tu.. maid main dengan lilD sambil tengok TV..
lekakan TV.. she ignores and let lilD main sengsorang..
main apa? main LEGO.
lilD bangun buat rumah kat sini.. buat rumah kat sana.. and she is happlily watching TV.
mana bigD masa ni? school. he's not at home and mom was in her room solat dhuha.
when suddenly.. dengar suara lilD nangis kuat sangat and she quickly habiskan solat and rush ke living.
imagine yer.. dah dipesan.. kalau budak nangis tak kira apa yang jadi cepat cepat bawak pegi jumpa mom. but hell no! mom sempat siapkan solat and rushed outside dengan bertelekung bagai...
and mom said that the TV volume was quite high.. bukan moderate macam yang selalu pasang...


bila my mom tanya why and mintak nak amik lilD..
tengok2 kat bahagian mulut berdarah darah none stop!
tanya what happen! haram nak jawab..
bila dah paksa baru dia jawab.. lilD jatuh..
bila tanya kat mana..jawapannya..
TAK TAHU SAYA LAGI NONTON!


perlu tak nak marah?
perlu ker tidak?
SILA JAWAB DENGAN JUJUR!


note ye.. gamba kat atas tu is lilD masa 1 years old.. benda ni jadi masa lilD 2 years old..

tengok betul betul atas bibir dia.. bawah hidung dia.. nampak tak ada one line agak dark kat situ?

itu lukanya from the outside..

YES!

yang terus tu is her teeth, gums and lips!

:(

gigi dia terperosok masuk ke dalam ok..

kalau korang lepak dengan lilD now.. korang akan tanya dia soalan macam.. EH EH GIGI MANA HILANG?

but hakikatnya.. terperosok masuk ke dalam..

its really heart breaking to my sis, my BIL and also me & mom.

ni bukan kategori cuai ker?

to be frank..

maid kalau ada kat rumah adalah hanya untuk sidai kain, lipat & iron, mop rumah, basuh toilet and main / tengok kan budak budak. ITU SAHAJA.

masak, bagi makan budak and the rest.. we all yang akan buat sendiri...

but memang yang paling penting is budak budak. temankan they all main segala.. mom tak larat nak dukung ke.. nak main kejar kejar ke..payah keeee????

macam mana boleh jadi kan?

bila lilD dok berjalan sana sini sinun.. dia terpijak LEGO tu and jatuh tersembam..

KALAU la kan.. KALAU dia alert and teman lilD main sekali.. perlu ker budak tu nak bangun and melilau sana sini? perlu ker budak tu terpijak.. lumrah la kita akan alihkan apa apa yang get her way kan?

redha je lah.. benda dah jadi.

we all dah pergi dentist..

dia tak boleh buat apa sampai tumbuh gigi kapak nanti..

sebab terlalu hampir dengan nerve.. but so far.. it is still ok...

i know tak semua maid dari 'situ' jahat and bo***..

but phobia..

ni bukan penderaan ker?

PENDERAAN EMOSI!

dah la buat kerja tak reti..

lipat kain macam dengan kaki..

suruh main dengan budak budak pun payah ker?

astaghfirullah..

ketahui lah yer..

kita dapat GRED C/ D jer kat Malaysia ni..

yang bagus bagus semua hantar Arab.

ada la yang terlepas.. but sangat la rare.

berbaloi ker RM 800 tu?

tell me!

Blurbings By,

kenapa salah itu hanya pada sebelah pihak..sedangkan sabar sudah tercabar????

sana sini situ sinun sibuk orang dok bercerita pasal pembantu rumah. whom i adress as maid here, in this blog...
kenapa topik nih menarik perhatian ayu?
sebab my sis (including us lah tuh) tak pernah lagi bernasib baik when it comes on maid.
dalam family members ada la.. like Aunt1 punya maid dulu, MbakRose. TERBAIK!!!
kalau ade anak2 sedara or my sepupu sepapat baca nih sure derang setuju tanpa bantahan...

but what happen to us?
sangat2 mengecewakan... reallyy..

dah la duit habis melayang to bring them in here.
yelah, kita yang nak khidmat derang kan.. so, kita kena bayar.
but, motip ade macam2 portfolio konon dah di trained segala??
penipuan oooo...

contoh latest yang ganti the old maid.. the one yang ayu ceritakan pagi tadi..
korang tau berapa cost nak bawak dia datang sini?
RM 8,465!!!!

dan, apa yang kita dapat?
seorang yang berumur 37 tahun, yang dont even know hoe to pegang mop, tak tau nak lipat baju.. and penyelesaian nya is gosok je SEMUA BAJU.
haaallooo..habis pakaian kecik pun dia nak iron..motip kan???
mana kami tau, because kami biarkan dia tunjuk skill dia dulu before mengajar dia.
yelah, bayar mahal2, kata ade training segala..
ni kebersihan pun OUT.
lepas pegang sampah, terus nak pegang food atas meja???
bau badan tak yah cerita la.. dats a different story all together...

so, akhirnya, kita kena turun padang and ajar basics..
terpaksa.
dah buang masa kena ajar basic dulu sampai paham then baru boleh ajar ikut jadual.
owh lagi satu.. tak reti tengok jam.
solat nak kena berketuk.
multi tasking la sikit.
letak air kul 6, cepat2 la amik wudhuk and solat subuh.
sempat ok... ayu & sis dari kecik boleh buat. tak de maknanya tak sempat.
ini bantai jadi tokong ngadap air tu.. alahaiiiii...

pulak tu, gaji baru.
RM 550 sebulan!
terima kasihla kerajaan kesayangan kan..... :(

contract for two years..
so, in total gaji dia is RM550 X 24 months = RM 13,200
tolak lak for six months kan? so bersih dia dapat is, RM 9,900 (RM 13,200 - RM 3,300)
and berapa cost bawak dia masuk tadi? RM 8,465 kan?
campur sikit dengan gaji bersih dia... RM 8,465 + RM 9,900 = RM 18,365

kalau bahagi jumlah tu untuk dua tahun... cost kita spent sebulan untuk khidmat dia is RM 765.21
motip ayu kira semua nih?
berbaloi ker dengan apa yang dia bagi?
membantu kah dia as a pembantu rumah?

apsal ayu tanya?
membantu kah dia if...
paip kat sinki semua habis bocor and longgar which we have to replace atleast lepas 5bulan derang datang. tangan besikah?
baju2 yang berlubang sana sini sinun...
anak2 sedara yang kelaparan..
and at the end, mom yang jadi bibik kat rumah tu?
kenapa? sebab semua yang diajar buat cara sendiri and habis salah..
so, mom had to redo segalanya..
itu tak masuk lagi pinggan mangkuk yang pecah...
and also suis2 yang tenggelam...

kita buat dia macam family.
but dia?
kalau ikhlas mesti semuanya makan di ajar..
ini tidak.

siapa yang jawab semua nih?



Blurbings By,

the two years journey...

pejam celik, pejam celik, dah dua tahun maid berkhidmat dengan kami. dua tahun yang penuh drama ok.

dia baik.

dia ikhlas.

dia jujur.

but, she's also slow.

stubborn.

tak reti apa2 langsung.

pelupa yang hamat.

very2 careless.

but of course, semua tu boleh belajar and perbetul kalau dia nak kan?

dia hanya separuh nak, ok.

pulak tu, bila we all observe dia adalah amat slow copping things.. sis & BIL bawak dia g checkup with our personal doc..

and guess what?

dia adalah pesakit Down Syndrom early stage..

agak2 nya, cam ner lepas medical dia mai Malaysia ek?

pulak tu, bila dah lam 3 minggu stays with us..

dia bagitau ayu yang dia sebenarnya lari dari family membawa hati yang marah sebab mak dia nak kawin kan dia and dia tak nak..

so, dia terus register nak keje sini as a maid.

apa experience dia?

kerja baby sit budak berumur 10tahun.

maid kat sana sangatlah murah gajinya ok.

ade yang sebulan 100Rp == dalam RM35 la..

SEBULAN.

sebab tu, derang macam ade 2-3 maid dalam serumah.

so, si maid ni, tugas dia jadi peneman budak ni...

kalau dia nak g main ker.. g sekolah ke.. lepak ngan kengkawan ker..

gitu la..

budak dah 10 tahun kan.. apa nak jaga sangat pun...

jadi imagine la.. itu je yg dia tau buat.

kerja rumah adalah ZERO.

nak set meja makan pun stock gagal.

jadi pelan2 kami ajar...

bagi sampai empat notebook..(buku nota ye)

soh dia belajar tulis satu2 jadual dia and cara keje..

buku resipi simple2 lagik..

mmg ajar macam adik..

mom buat mcm anak...

payah memang payah.

sedara mara yang datang pun pening tengok blur dia.

penah sekali sister BIL mintak "segelas air sejuk petiais"

dia datang bawak satu tub eskrem!

haaaa... itulah tahap dia. :)

after all that, alhamdulillah she became a better person.

dah pandai solat.

dah pandai mandi hadas. (yes, dia x penah mandi hadas seumur hidup)

dah pandai baca niat puasa.

dah pandai shahadah. (dia hanya tau selawat)

dan kerana nak kan dia dapat kan keredhaan ibu bapanya, kami lepaskan dia balik.

lagipun, nak bagi dia keluar.

so dia value apa yang kita ajar.

tak nak la dia rasa cam camp army lak kan?

so, dua hari sebelum dia balik, dia teringin nak beli kain ela untuk faamily dia.

so bawak la dia g shopping kat Nagoya.

dia insist nak pakai duit titik peluh dia.

ok jer.. sebab sepanjang dua tahun (tolak 5 bulan yang kena potong tu) dia tak penah usik langsung duit dia.

duit poket untuk dia beli apa2 yg dia tingin mmg ade je kami bagi.

masa raya la.. sesaja la..

dia adalah sangat berjimat orang nya...

masa memula dia datang dulu.. memang dia ade kata, dia nak stay sampai 6-7 tahun.

but masa dah dalam awal tahun ni.. ade la kadang2 dia macam teringat kat family dia..

so, tanya punya tanya... dia akhirnya pasrah nak balik.

kami ok jer..

even dia slow, we prefer her lah dari amik yang lain and went tru all the process again. ALL OVER AGAIN , kan?

but, kami tak leh sellfish..

kena gak pikir dosa pahala dia..

even masa beli barang2 nih pun, dia macam 50-50 tak sure nak balik or not.

check out memo dah buat..

dh siap letak lam passport dia lagik sume..

even malam sebelum dia balik... dia siap2 kan semua keje yang selalu dia buat during the next morning siap2..

sedih jugak la..

yelah, dia macam down kan? so, dia macam sangat budak2..

tak di nafikan.. di sebalik kesengalan dia.. dia adalah agak close dengan ayu.

and guess what?

dia tak tido langsung sepanjang malam tu.

dia still berbelah bahagi tak tau nak balik or not.

mom yang tolong kemaskan beg dia.

beg yang dia beli tak muat.

i let go my fav luggage to her...

tak kisah.

janji dia selamat and tak kena tipu.

macam2 yang pesan kat dia masa nih.

takut sangat dia kena tipu or jadi apa2 kat dia..

Nauzubillah..

yelah, belo belo camtu kang tak pasal je kena rompak.

kami sekeluarga hantar dia ke LCCT.

pagi tu banyak la drama air mata...

dia mintak halal segalanya and she even promised bothD dat she'll be back.

ayu sendiri yang buatkan check in dia.

dia tinggal lenggang kangkung masuk je..

memang tak percaya dengan dia.

sebab dia cuai.

lepas dah check in, kami solat subuh dulu.

and then bawak dia breakfast.

our last breakfast together.

masa ni bigD sangat tak de mood.

bigD memang macam nih..

he hates Goodbyes and perpisahan.

dan akhirnya.. selamat la maid ke tanah airnya.

she called me last night informing her safe arrival.

yes, after 3 days sampai rumah

did i tell u guys, dia slow?

huhuhuhu...

apa pun... i did print her a picture of all of us with a TQ message.

hope dia bukak and likes it.

dia tak tau ayu selit dalam luggage dia..

dia memang serah bulat2 kat ayu & mom kemaskan bag dia..

satu pun dia x dulik.. huuhuh...

sekian la kisah maid yang ni.

ade pulak maid baru..

itu cerita nanti ek?

yang pasti.. PENAT!

Blurbings By,

bye bye maid..

genap dah dua tahun maid berkhidmat di sini...
walaupun dia nak sambung berkhidmat..
tapi, rasanya tak la kot.
maaf kami pinta secara baik dan elok darinya kerana tidak dapat menymbung khidmatnya..

kenapa?
akan ayu reveal one day..

apa pun, semoga rezeki dan nasib dia lebih baik di tempat lain.

*kat airport tengah hantar maid*

Blurbings By,

ke port biasa...

macam biasalah.. apa pun, lepas dah settle kat rumah, kena rush ke rumah my Aunt1 dulu.
kami mana lah ada yang tua lagik kan? tu lah sorang.. so, jom?

ha.. kat sini punyer lah meriah riuh rendah lah.
kami ni, raya haji ker, raya puasa ker, jumpa biasa2 jer pun boleh roboh rumah!
:P


dalam pada riuh rendah tu, mata ni dok gak melilau tengok keadaan anak bongsu my 1st cousin brother yang g haji tu.
yelah, tak nak la dia kot terasa mama&abah dia x de kan..

kejap2 panggil dia kalau dia start nak lari meyendiri..
but, alhamdulillah..she's fine.
cuma sekali nih jer... dia tetiba lari and sit at a corner sambil pegang handphone..


yes, dia bersms dengan mama nya. maybe dia x tahan rindu kot bila dah riuh rendah kami d sini.
biar la dia. she needs space.

and, my darling niece sefamily baru balik holiday sakan from LA.
and..ini perkara yang menyebabkan me & sis menjerit tak puas hati semalam..


NineWest at $45!!!!!!!!!!

perihal knorr.. perihal maid kakak ku..

ok ok.. kita benti hal ayu mmbayar hutang tag sekejap yer... hadoih.. semput bayar tag.. hehehe... :P

ni nak cerita pasal kesengalan maid my sister... last week.. my sister dapat lagi 3 kotak promotional pack cube knorr tu...

niat my sister, nak bagi sama rata untuk sekolah bigD. kasik kat cikgu semua.. last dapat dulu, kami dah hadiah merata dah... :)

tapi, kali ni.. bercampur la pulak.. sebelum ni, asing ikut rasa.. ayam sekotak, ikan bilis sekotak and tomyam sekotak.. yang ni tak.. dia campur semua.. jadinya.. mom kena la gigih sikit asing kan ikut perasa and bahagi sama rata untuk sekolah bigD.

so, mengenali ibu ku yg super sumer nak cepat tu.. dia x tunggu kami adik badik balik keje tolong dia sort out.. dia telah gigih buat sendiri masa siang semalam...

sekali talipon bunyik... so, mom pun g la attend kejap.. since conversation tu penting, dia hold jap and mintak tolong maid tolong asing kan ikut perasa.. pasal packing, she still wants to do it..dia x pecaya kat maid...

habis cakap talipon.. korang tau apa jadik???

mom terperanjat ok.. tengok ada lam 4 cubes terbukak atas meja dapur.. before she freaks out, she ask nicely lah..

mom: kenapa bungkusan di buka?
maid: makcik tadi suruh asing ikut perasanya kan?
mom: memang lah.. tapi, kenapa perlu di buka?
maid: saya rasanya sedikit untuk tau perasanya apa....

and this point..
ibu ku dengan rasmi naik hangin dengan sekian kalinya dengan maid itu.

gila kah?

she actually makan cube tu untuk determine perasa.. padahal kat tepi tu ada tulis and kalau tengok kaler pun tau la.. yg putih tu ayam and yg gelap skets tu ikan bilis..
hadoih...!!!!!


but, when mom picked up the phone and ring me up.. i laugh like no one business..
last last, mom pun gelak sama.
yelah, nak tension pun buat apa kan?



so, kalau sesapa datang makan soup kat rumah ayu, siap la... mungkin hasil gigitan maid! mauahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahah!!!!!!!
NOT!

another maid story

maid oh maid.. tak larat sebenarnya kalau nak cerita pasal maid ni.. but, what else can i do.. i need a place to spill things kan? i dont want to bring messiness and kalutness at home... the most important, i dont want to join mom and/or sis talking/complaining bout her.

what can make me stop? i was about to go out on one of those Saturday morning for my morning walk.. keluar jer pintu rumah, i saw something really awkward at my old shoe rack...
puzzle no 1: why in the world all the shoes been piled up like that.
puzzle no 2: its my shoe rack, y no one informed me anything...

statement bengang dalam hati : jahanam la semua kasut aku wwoooii!!!!



who else to be called? maid lah kan? i dont want to ask mom and create havoc and that will be another drama all together. uhuks!

me: maid, kenapa kasut saya d biar gitu? kenapa lapisan terakhir di tahan sama kasutnya? kamu tau ngak kasut tu masih elok dan akan rosak kalau d buat gitu.
maid: maaf kak, semalam saya main kejar2 sama bigD, lalu saya terlanggar rak nya dan rak jatuh lalu rosak. saya ngak mau siapa2 tau, saya guna kasut yang paling keras untuk tahan.

ko tak sakit hati ker? kasut yg paling keras tu.. dh pun selamat jadi kasut yg paling lembik! mangkuk!

lagi lagi maid...

wow! hampir 48jam senyap from blogging.. isk isk isk.. camner nak jadik blogger tegar cenggini nih.. aiyoh...

anyways, cerita maid lagik ker? naik boring pulak eh?

tapi, nak tak nak, kena jugak cerita sbb tak tau nak luahkan kat mana lagik.. peguna ada blog kan? hiks!



apa la tak kena dengan maid kat rumah nih... b****nya menjadi2... tak cukup dengan tu, makin hari makin blur. tapi, lawak pun ada jugak la... cuma bagi mom & sis, tak de yg lawak dah from her... they're really pissed with her now... dats y i am worried...



bukan la mom&sis x penyabar orgnya.. tapi, kalau dh hari2 kena ulang/tego/bg arahan yg sama..sampai ke tahap mandi solat pun nak kena berketuk.. x ke payah tuh? itu diri sendiri.. x yah cerita la hal keje2 yg simple mimple.... when i say simple, i really mean it tau...sbb takat keje2 rumah simple2 tuh, aku dh kena wat dari umur 7thn lagik.. ni dh 20thn pun x reti2 ker?



kalau dia iron baju, x sah kalau x de yg terbakar... and balik2 kena baju keje sis.. mana la minah tu x hangin kan?



apa boleh buat... the best maid in seksyen14 KATANYA! :P

"mak cik, ini ada surat nama KakAyu. tapi, depannya ada hajjah, mungkin makcik yg punya..."

--> ada ke patut..maknanya dia x tau apa itu 'hajjah'. even my name was stated there, kerana 'hajjah' yg dia ingat part of mom's name...

"mom: bapak pegi pasar, beli ayam x?

maid: beli, makcik

mom: berapa ekor?

maid: errrr... ekornya udah ngak ada"

--> haiyo!

nak putus urat kepala dh aku nih!!!!

maid oh maid.. part II

.... after Marwah, things changed at home. All of us are quite terrified with what happen to the house and also BigD. Poor lil fella. We also got to know that Marwah actually has put some kind of oil at the gate in order for everyone to touch when ever we go in/out. Alhamdulillah, we managed to get rid of her before the 'oil' spell works.



We were maidless for quite sometime.

Poor mom that her health is also becoming worse. (lutut lah... pinggang lah... and etc etc)



Untill... BIL decided that we try on this 'pendatang' as they are not tru any agent and etc. We try 1st for a month and if she's ok, we'll do all the necessary documents for her.

So, we try... her name is Sumiaton. She's married with 2 kids. The moment she enters the house, she's not that well and claimed that she never travels before. OK lah, we thought.

For 2 days, she's not able to do anything. Instead, mom is the one taking care of her. Sis decided to bring her to doc and she refuses. She claimed that she's pregnant. Yes, PREGNANT! Like who cares right? To confirm, we still bring her to the doc. And yes, she is pregnant.

We decided to send her back the very following day. And what happen the following morning? She's gone! She ran away... with a letter.

"Ibu/Bapak, maafkan saya. niat saya kemari untuk bersama suami saya..."

Haih..lagi la phobia...


There again, we are maidless. Not a problem since BigD was the only fragile creature at the moment.

Then, me&mom received our offer letter from TabungHaji. We were selected for Haj that year.Another drama!



Alhamdulillah, MbakRos, Aunt1 reliable 9yrs maid suggested her sis, Minah. Due to some debts, she needed the work. So, Alhamdulillah, finally, we found the reliable one.

Everything went smooth sailing for solid 2yrs... untill LilD was born.



The drama started again when Minah wants to go back. She doesn't want to continue here. Her debts settled and she wants to be with her family.



Here comes Yati. An experienced young, married young woman. She speaks English & do things fast. One thing about her, she loves man. Including BigD & BIL. Another hot drama lah kan?

And to our surprise, she also involve with someone's son in our neighbourhood. Same case, she also run away....
Sayang... coz she's good... good with kids, good with house chores... haih...


After 4 tiring months, we got Tria. The one currently at home.
She's lembab.
She's not that pandai.
She's OK OK lah wit kids.
She need to be taught on the house chores. (As in zero knowledge yer...)

But atleast, dia tak menggatal, dia jujur and dia taat.

Letih... Penat.... but, what to do...
Oh! The kids loves her.. now, dats important!

Its a wrap!

...For the time being lah...

maid oh maid - part I

Must we give up? Must we not?

This maid issue has been bugging me & my family for quite sometime.

When sis got pregnant, all of us agreed that sis & BIL should be looking for a maid to help with the house chores later. Besides, mom is around to assist. We decided to have a maid before sis give birth, in order for us to train and make her comfortable and use to our environment. Quoting mom, “Kalau mak ni macam dulu, tak payah buang2 duit amik maid ni…mak dah tak berapa larat… tapi, nak tgk2 tu boleh la…”

So, few months after sis got pregnant, we got the maid. Her name is Susan (pronunciation is not Susan as in English, it is Su-San – the Japanese ‘san’)
She’s young, petite and hyper. She knows nothing bout house chores. She loves to sing and watch telly. But, she is also a fast learner.
It was my final year, final semester when she came. So, most of the time, I was at home, training her with the house chores. She learns fast and did well. Alhamdulillah…
As time passes away… she’s quite well liked by all of us. Not 100% la. She can be really forgetful sometimes and also absent minded. Until one day, we found out that she started to flirt around with the ‘orang angkat sampah’, postman, ‘Bangla contractor’ and few other strangers who is now started to come to the house passing letters. Sis questioned us. We are not trying to cage her or something, but we are worry about safety. We also found out that she started to exchange notes with the entire maid in the area. Sis couldn’t help it and decide to send her back and ask for replacement. Our biggest worry is that later, when the baby is out, anything could happen to mom and baby when all of us are not around.

The replacement came after BigD was born. Her name is Marwah. She’s in her late 30s. Claimed as experienced and well mannered. Since, she was in the house, she hardly pray and loves to eat. She also loves to talk to her self and BigD had a sleepless nights. We lead ourselves to a bigger worry.One fine day, while BigD was asleep, mom taught Marwah the correct way to do the laundry. One of the dress fall down and mom quickly grab it and give it to her. Since that the dress is quite long it actually accidentally swipe her face a little. She mumbles “mak cik kurang sopan” to mom. Mom got shocked and asks her to repeat what ever she says again. She actually repeats the statement again. Mom asks her why. She told mom that she can’t stand with mom's prayers and she can’t stand to live in the house anymore. Mom called sis & BIL as soon as possible asking them to come home early and face Marwah.

When sis got back, she claimed that she wanted to be sent home. "Mak cik keras, saya mau pulanng...", is what she said. while waiting for BIL to be home, BigD cried endlessly. Poor lil baby. When BIL is finally home, they had concluded that they will send her home and will seek for replacement again, from the agency. But, not that night, of course, the following morning.

But, that night, none of us could sleep. BigD was crying not stop and started to turn blue. None of us could comfort him anymore. Mom ask us to recite Yassin, Manzil and other things that we know. BigD will stop for a while, butstarted crying again. He looked like as if someone is trying to chocked him. I ask BIL to azan. Alhamdulillah, BigD stop crying.

We quickly call MakCikSiah, mom's good friend cum sis's bidan for help on BigD. The moment she step into our house, she asked us all to leave the house immediately and send Marwah back to the agency using diffrent car. I accompanied BIL to the agency. We almost met with an accident on our way there.

Yes, it was her black magic. She uses black magic to conquer the house and to make sure our family members listen to her. Too bad & Alhamdulillah, Allah protects us.


...to be continued...
