GN4,

Definitely 身同感受！

I seldom ask my maid any "WHY" questions, but just give her instruction what to do next and find ways to avoid same happening next time.

Actually even if she gives out reasons for all the unfavourable outcomes, they're just either bullshxxting or making meaningless defence.... so better save the gas to warm our guts

Hi BS, Jsmami, KL,

Just XXXX my maid this morning. She forgot to give antibiotics to my son before he went to school this morning. It is the 4th day since my son started his antibiotic. How come she forgot??
I asked her why she forgot. She said forgot was forgot, no reason!! How dares she!! Big attitude problem!

She lives by a river, and has 3 kids herself, and when she 1st gave piglet a bath (only around 5m at the time), she sat on floor of bathroom gripped him in between her legs and bathed him ! Sei mei ! (still imagined that she was washing him in the river)

BS,
Thanks for the link. I've emailed Lego for the magazine. Hope they will send it outside the US.

GN4,
Maids are like that. Don't ask questions like "why did u forget to give medicine...." Naturally they will say forget is forget & I am sure u will be more mad! Like KL, I have lowered my expectation, it's so low, to avoid confrontation or disappointment. My maid has 1.5yrs to go, i.e. before any of us initiate to terminate contract. I dare not think of the pain of hiring & training & adapting to a new maid!

RMM,
I have exam this Sat. After that, I can call u out for lunch!

Jsmami,

Yes, you're right. I have to to adjust myself and lower my expectation in order to delay my aging.

My maid forgot to remind my daughter of her lunch bag this morning. Actually, they went out together. How come? Moreover, my maid failed to notice it's missing until she's back home. Actually, it's just on the table as she normally placed it there when it's ready.

At the end, my daughter borrowed some money from the school bus nanny to buy lunch box at school. My daughter called me to inform me of this arrangement and said kind words for the maid. So, I did not XXXX my maid. I just SUGGEST that she should scan the table for any items to bring along before they leave home.

JsMami,

Yes, Lego does ship outside US when it comes to these matters. They also ship replacement parts for missing bricks in a set if you notify them thru the relevant button on lego.com customer service.

Carly,

No, haven't booked the tickets yet, but will go in end-June or July, either to Euro then stopover Sing on my way back, or just Sing.

Remember to shop for Taiwan Chin books !
Their content is usually better than HK books ga.

*****

Piglet aske me today what's the meaning of "家家酒" . Told him it's = 玩煮飯仔.
He said his Chin teacher didn't believe his class (that 家家酒 = 玩煮飯仔) !
I said, most likely his Chin teacher doesn't read Taiwan Chin books (cos not so popular at her times), OR she doesn't read books written by 亦舒 (I remember reading the term somewhere in her books).

BS,

I think your seller will send it via air. The product is bulky but not as heavy as books.

P.S. The seller of the HS Mag is still unreachable. I will wait till tomorrow. If still no reply, I will report product non-delivery to ebay!! 女人唔喺咁好蝦!!
