I have a KSN (Kek Sei Ngor) maid!

My new maid arrived 1 week before CNY, till todate, she had been working for me for about 3 weeks. This morning, she manage to raise my fire, and for the 1st time I had to raise my voice to her (which I really hate to do so!)

We had been running around for the past few days, visiting, dinner, dim sum, etc etc. We brought her along to all the places. She will just sit on her chair, eat her meal peacefully and never help me to look after Anna. I am fine with it, casue my intention to get a house helper is to manage my housework, I will still take care my own kids, I just dont have the peace of mind letting outsider taking care of my kids. 

Today, finally we have time at home in the morning. I asked her to wash my car. This super clever maid, took out a kitchen towel and Gif multipurpose cleanser. I stopped her and ask her where is the microfibre wipes that I gave her, and told her specifically this is for car wash used only. Her answer make my fire shoot up! " kakak, sudah buang lah, kotor sangat!" This microfiber towel is new, if not mistaken, she only used it for twice. I raised my voice, and really give her good lecture. She anwered me back, that is very dirty, cannot be wash, she had tried for many many times .....Really KSN(Kek Sei Ngor). I stopped her, and told her if she throw anything without my approval, I will buy it back with her salary!

The next KSN thing was, she intented to use Zip multipurpose cleanser to wash my car! When i ask her, she said " Tuan cakap guna ini" Again, i think my BP was shooting up. Without arguing with her further, I gave her the car wash detergent, and told her when Tuan balik, I will check with Tuan, if is true, then is fine. If not, I will let Tuan to talk to her. I think she is very afraid of my husband, after 10 min, she came and apologise, said she lupa!

The above KSN issues only for this morning, if i want to list down what she did for the pass 2 weeks, i think my post will be really long. BTW, this is what she broke for the pass 2 weeks :

1. Many pieces of hanger. (Dont ask me, i dont know why all the hanger will break once is under her hand)

2.My coffee press. This really break my heart. I had been using this coffee press for the pass 5 years, it still look very new.

3. Used soy sauce bottle. We will keep all the glass bottle and send it to recycle center. My maid broke 2-3 of it already.

I am very tire and sick of her attitude, I will discuss with my husband see what can we do about this. Either to keep or to send her back .......

Home Cook Food

I am not a very heath conscious mom, but for Anna's daily meal, I will give her home cook food as much as I can. But sometime, due to very pack schedule, I will give her instant cereal. This is what I normally feed Anna:



Macaroni with Ikan Bilis Stock and Egg:

Mashed steam pumpkin with plain porridge:

Porridge cook with Ikan Bilis Stok with Carrot and Dry Scallop:

Porridge cook with Chicken Stok and Tofu:

When I am too busy, this is what I will feed Anna. She finished many pack of instant cereal during my first trimester with baby Isaac, I had a very very bad morning sickness during that time.



Anna Hair Cut's Day

Yesterday I was staying home with Anna, after I fed her morning milk and breakfast, I brought her out to get her hair cut. This is her second time going to this saloon near by my house. The first time, she is fine, smiling all the way and really co-operative with the hair dresser. So, I thought this time will be the same ........

BUT.......This is what happened :

She cried from the begining till her hair cut done!

This is her new hair style :)

Sleeping Beauty

This is a back dated post.

Today when I open my photo album in my laptop, I found these 3 cute pictures. I think Anna was around 7-8 months old by that time. This picture taken when we having dinner at home, she was a bit fussy and refuse to sit on the high chair by herself. But me and my hubby were discussing something at that time and both of didn’t bother her much. After while, we both notice Anna was too quite, we turn our head and look at her, she was dozed off on her high chair! We let her sleep there till we finished our dinner :)


This is the second incident; Anna was in her walker playing around the house. She came to kitchen and look for me. By that time, she was very fussy and keeps raising her hand and wants me to carry her. But I am busy and with a pair of wet and oily hand. If not mistaken, I am preparing her dinner by that time. I just keep asking her to wait for a while knowing that she is very sleepy. I keep singing to her and try to get the things done ASAP. Finally I am done and ready to bring her to her bed (which I think is just like 5-10 min), and notice she already dozed off in her walker! I took her out gently from the walker, and put her in her cot. She slept soundly for about 1 hour in the evening.

Anna's Morning

When Anna wakes up in the morning, this is how she looks like :

Blur and lazy:


She will be sitting on the couch till i give her morning milk, then bread. This is what I normally feed her in the morning, wholemeal bread with butter or jam.
After her breakfast, she will be finally awake, and start running in the house. She will request me to turn on her favorite Barney show. She will bring the CD to me and said "Barney Barney, pis (please).....Normally I wont turn her down, but let her watch about 30 minutes or till her bathing time. At the same time I can have my breakfast peacefully.

Bathing time:

Steamboat

My best friend, also Anna "Kai Ma Ma" invited us to her house on Saturday for a steamboat dinner. The steamboat ingredients that she prepared were awesome, almost every thing are fresh from the morning market. She had spent her whole Saturday on washing, cutting, boiling, cooking, chopping, cleaning etc....

We reached her house around 7pm, by that time, she were cleaning and chopping the crab to pieces! I am so amazed that she can manage a live crab! I love crab, but in my lifetime, i had never clean or chop a live moving crab. I had to admit she is a super women!

She had also prepared fresh squeeze orange and pineapple juice. As for desert, we had homemade ice blended red bean with ice cream. Anna and I were crazy about the desert and forgotten to take a pic of it. 

We really enjoy the dinner, Thanks Whitney!

Here is some of the pic taken on that day.
