Nightmare *3

Day 1


1. Brought the maid home. Checked her bag, not more than 10 pairs of clothes. Conversation was limited. Smiles? All the time.

2. Bought her new clothes, undergarments, toiletries, gave her a timetable, and a new alarm clock, with numbers (not symbols).

3. At night, introduced her to everyone (5 members), explained the timetable and brought her out for dinner at Sg Wang. Limited conversation, still.

Day 2


1. She woke up late, so she didn't do anything. We left for work and school.

2. At night, I explained everything to her again. Ok. Limited conversation, still.

Day 3-Day 5


Now, I see...

Day 6

The maid,

1. Did not know simple English (spoon? big? small? also don't know. )
2. Does not know how to read time/ use an alarm clock (what time? )
3. Did not read simple English (mop, sweep, wash, put, take...)
4. Does not know how to read a calendar/ what day it is (although given a calendar)

I decided to call the agent because all the above are unacceptable, for a domestic house maid.
