I fetched my new maid on Sunday. Dasti left on the same day - she was very concerned with the loan that she has to pay. Who cares right? Not that we have not warned her.
So my new maid shares the same surname as me - she is not from Java island she comes from Nusantara Tenggara Barat. According to her, her grandparents came from Arab hence the reason why she has a Malay name. Hmmmm.... She is an experienced maid, having worked in Saudi for 7 years. She has made a lot of money - she bought padi fields (3 she said!) and has built a house.Reason for coming to Singapore is to make more money because she wants to run a business when she goes back home. I have to admit, I was pretty impressed with what she has done and her vision.
Mom has not seen her. I brought her home last evening - I don't usually do that but I thought I'll take a slightly different approach to this new maid. She seems sharp and has a strong personality. I'll pray that all goes well when she helps mom.
Mom was curious and called last evening to find out about her. Heheh... I know she is tired and wants company but mom will never admit that.
