CNY 2009!!

CNY is around the corner; don't really feel like do anything on this festive. From changing new notes till buying new clothes, well just don't have the urge to celebrate it at all.

Kids definitely excited about it but not me and my husband. Every year this is the season where we spend a lot and travel a lot. I and husband decided that this year we will just go back Ipoh and back to KL on the 3rd day of CNY if possible. We find that always CNY whole week is really a none productive week plus eating excessively none stop which really a torture to our body.

I personally don't really enjoy staying in Ipoh for so many days coz for me during CNY, that place really hot, food not nice, only 2 shopping complex there and the In Law family doesn't seems close to me at all. They give me kind of feeling that we are only a close relative staying there for a short period and I don't feel like at "Home" kind of feeling. Sometime too humble makes you feel like a guest instead of feeling you are part of the family. Hope I am too sensitive loh...

Well, this year is a moody year but still have to say....

Have a blessed Chinese New Year to all !!!!

New Family Member - Maid From Indon

My maid just arrives on Sunday and mum in law start teaching her all the things she does daily.

Frankly speaking, I am not a type of feeling comfortable with a stranger staying with me under the same roof. But due to some reason that my parent in law demanded to go back Ipoh so I have no choice but to hire a maid. On the moment I have agreed to my husband that we need a maid after the parent went back kampung, I started to put positive thinking in my head every time I think about it but still there are some friends fed me the negative thoughts.

I straggle and pray for GOD's preference on this issue I placed into His almighty hand. I ask God to close the door if this is not His plan for me like rejecting my application and etc.. But yet it goes through even there's some hiccups here and there. We didn't apply this maid through agency but rather from her father in law whom had staying in Malaysia for more than 10 years. Her husband working in Sepang at one of the factories there and she also had a daughter back in Indon.

Well, my 1st impression when I got to know her background is that "Will she pakat her husband and kidnap my precious?? Since she got the network or contact here?" I hint my worries to my husband but he explained that if the maid had such background, he think it's even better as the maid will appreciate to stay here with a valid permit and she also has her own family here and that she will not think of going back to Indon. My husband also think that some other Indon worker gone crazy because they work at the foreign country day and night, they don't have their own family to share their feelings. So he says it is even better that she has her own family here and agreed to give her one day off every 2 weeks to go back to her father in law house.

Now she already here for 2 days and she seems quite helpful to me. Samson and Shawn seem to like her coz they keep calling her Kakak, Kakak and wanted her to carry them.

I still feel uncomfortable and no choice but to pray hard that God is controlling everything in the house. After my PIL went back Ipoh, only left the maid and Shawn during the morning period, Samson will back from his school around 12:30pm and Samuel be back home about 2:30pm. After than, left only my 3 precious boys stay at home with the maid. My husband will try his best to do the spot checking but only be in the evening.

Me? Will try to rush home sharp lohhh.....or call back frequently loh.....

All my friends out there, please pray for me also ya... :(
