My mum gave my maid leave for about 2 weeks to go back to Philippines to visit her family. This is not in the contract and it is on top of what she gets every 2yrs. So she was supposed to return two days ago at about 4pm. But she never came home. After calling the airline, we found out she did not even board the plane back to sg…… And worse of all.. my mum was in korea and the house was a mess after 2 weeks w/o a maid! We were all dreading my mum’s reaction. So yesterday after work, I set out to clean and pack the entire house so that when she returned that night, the news that my maid had “run away” would not be the biggest shocker. (biggest shocker would be that the house looked neat and clean. Haha…)
So I enlisted weiquan’s help. He is really the sweetest bf in the whole world! Come and help me wash, clean and pack all. We had tonnes to do since my mum n I had not unpacked the million things we bought in China, the toilet had not been washed, the floor was dusty and full of paw prints, there were so many dirty clothes and the fridge smelt like something was rotting in it. Anyway, as I was furiously sliding all over and moping the floor with a cloth, cos either we don’t have a mop or my maid hid it so well, he said that he has never seen that side of me and it was really scary. He said that I was so focused on mopping the floor that I would run down anyone who stood in the way and that I’d make a really mad housewife…. -__- hahaha… Now that I think about it, its true… I’d make a mad housewife. I really loathe doing housework and I channel all that anger into the chores I’m doing. Which make me seem kinda mad. I think I get that way when I’m too focused on getting something done.
I have really been so blessed my entire life having my parents provide a maid to help clean and pick up after me. And I had been dreading moving away from my home to a place which does not have a maid cos I am very messy and I hate cleaning. With no maid to pick up after me, I’m afraid the new people I live with will really dislike me cos they would have to pick up after me if they can’t stand my mess. But now that my maid is gone…. And if she really doesn’t come back, I guess this is God’s intervention for me. He probably planned it such that the next 8 months before I move would train me to pick and clean up after myself. Even though I would have really rather enjoy my last 8 months WITH a maid. Haha..
