Maid Issue

Our maid was supposed to be back in KL by the New Year's Day. We didn't get any phone call from her the few days prior, and things got rather suspicious when she failed to turn up after a couple of days.

We just found out that she missed her flight from Manila this morning and frantically we had to arrange for her to come back. Suffice to say that we had to foot up the bill for the flight. And being this late, we really got jacked at the Air Asia counter. The flight back alone cost more than her original return tickets.

We went straight to the counter at KL SentralBut we hardly had a choice. I had to cancel our original plan to have a few days out of town from Monday, since she could only get the flight back on Tuesday. I sorted out her tickets after my Mum's kenduri and now I was broke!

Hopefully there would be no more drama after this and things could return to normal after Wednesday!

Panic over! Our maid is back!

Great Start to the Day

Such nice weather to start the day off. But I wouldn't be holding my breath since the past few days ended with flash flood around town and Shah Alam. Luckily for us, we had a meeting yesterday until late. And I have another long afternoon today, so should the rain come, I would not be complaining.

While doing my rounds this morning, Anita called to say that she had to dash to the MyEG Office in 1Utama after our maid's permit was sent to the Gombak House when nobody was in. Since they couldn't get it to us, we had to pick them up from their office, and only the employer - myself - could pick the permit up.

It was a bit of a headache since I was at work, and since I might have a free hour, I decided to drive there to meet up with Anita. Being held up by a case, Anita reached there first and for some reason, she was allowed to pick the documents up. I was already halfway there then.

So, a detour for early lunch ensued ..... more about that later .....
