06-07準備入讀Kentville的家長請進~~

Felicia726

Hi mymavis,
How and where did you find/hire your maid? It seems that she is quite good.
Although I just renew the contracts with my maids, I can't wait for my children to be 4 and 5 years old. So that I can get rid of 2 maids and hire a new one. My maids are getting casual and not really treat me like a master.... They will not open door for us, no greetings, very reluctant to answer the phone.... not good at cleaning. However, they are very good at taking care of very young children. They don't eat much and don't sleep much. Good health. These are their good points. Just something I would like to share with you all.
Mymavis, remember to tell me how did you spot your maid. Thanks.

mymavis,

congratulations!!! 請到個好工人就好lu.  
無可否認, 請在星加坡做過野的工人係好好多, 我果個你都略知background又係星加坡做過野, 新加坡僱主真係好苛刻, set 好多regulations俾佢地, 一個月只係放一日假.

我工人都係, 如果我係屋企佢唔敢坐sofa, 有時我坐係度同個囝玩問佢野, 佢會行埋來, 唔敢坐之餘, 又係會跪係度聽你講野, 總之, 唔會要你"顎"高頭,  我估真係經過新加坡特訓先會係咁. 開頭來到, 又係話食我地食剩果的, 不過, 我一見就話唔駛, 只要之前夾開, 又或一齊食飯時用公筷就可以.  我同老公返到屋企, 佢都會叫: "good evening, mum!" "good evening, sir!" 等.........其實我只係要求佢有基本禮貌就ok, 有時佢咁做我反而有d唔慣.

Felicia726,
你可以請有星加坡經驗的, 佢地在果邊真係較刻苦, 假期少之餘, 人工又少香港一半.  如果係好彩, 選到一個真係正正經經又緊張份工的工人, 佢地一比較就會 treasure 香港份工架喇!   請工人靠彩數, 不過可以循這方向找, 作為reference!
good luck!!!

My Mavis, poonhui, Felicia726

見到My Mavis請到個好工人真"鄧"佢開心. 你哋嗰個工人係印還是菲.

我之前嗰個除咗識湊初生之外, 真係一無事處,就係連佢個人品德同處事態度都好有問題, 我都有同佢續約, 因為怕囝囝唔適應.  最後發覺佢借咗財務公司錢,先的起心肝請個一個.  我d朋友都話我忍得.  我之前嗰個都係新加坡做過嫁,點解冇你哋d咁好, 連早晨都冇同我哋講, 一日到黑都講mobile phone, 最高紀錄要比3千幾元電話費.  成日俾我哋駡都冇變.  唯一可取就係教得囝囝唔錯, 所以先死忍.  所以已後都唔想再請印傭.

而家嗰個就大部份ok, 只係唔識"tum"細路.  佢每朝都有叫我good morning!  放工佢就冇叫喇,因為都忙住煮飯, 我哋從來冇要求佢夾開食, 除非有客.  我找工人要求好簡單, 最重要唔好成日講電話, 放假準時返, 當然唔好問人借錢la. 試個第一個都怕怕囉.

My Mavis 其實你呢個假期留响屋企係最適合的, 你有喜最好唔好去同人迫.  加上教吓新工人, 的確唔錯.

Felicia726

Hi Alison,
One of my maids, who focus on taking care of my younger son, is also come from Singapore. Same as your previous one, 連早晨都冇同我哋講, 一日到黑都講mobile phone. I told my husband that she would die if she didn't talk on the phone. She is in fact the cousin of my other maid whom has been hired by us for 4 years. The other maid has been taking care of my daughter since newborn. Well, the one who has worked in Singapore is smarter, but her EQ is very low, and also black face. The other one who only has work experience in HK has better personalities, her EQ is high, but her IQ is quite low. Haha. My mother-in-law said that every maid is the same == like to talk on the phone. She said that my maids were quite nice as they didn't borrow money, didn't steal, didn't get sick, nice to kids..... However, I have to 忍 law. I feel that 印傭 do not respect female master. I always ask my husband to talk to them when there are important issues so as to make sure that they will listen and remember.
I want to hire a Philippino maid next time but my husband doesn't like this idea as he thinks that Philippino maid is more troublesome and is not obedient as Indo maid. ... really don't know. I want to hire a Philippino with better education level who speaks fluent English. My current Indo maids speak English quite ok, but.... when I give them instructions in English, they look puzzled; when I give them instructions in Cantonese, they misunderstand. However, they speak very good Cantonese with my mother-in-law and people at the market. On the other hand, they can communicate well with Philippino maids in English... What is wrong here? Ay... to be honest, I don't understand their strange English sentences....
What's the English level of your maids?
Is Philippino maid very hard to control and manage?

我好同意poonhui既說法, 佢地係新加坡做完就知香港係

Felicia726,

睇完你段發表簡直忍唔住笑兼拍難手掌, your experience is exactly same as me.     

老實說我真的不同意你husband的想法, 時而世易, 香港的印傭越來越多, 佢哋係我哋面前真係好識扮豬食老虎, 我以前嗰個可以响廚房同厠所個窗傾通全大廈, 佢真係一分鐘唔講嘢都會死.  現今香港菲傭少咗, 去蕪存青, 好的留低, 唔好的到走了, 我住個屋苑菲少印多, 加上而家嗰個唔多嘴, 我都不知幾舒服.  佢做嘢有文有路, 煮餸都幾好味, 只係唔係好識教仔, 咁我至多教佢點教囉, 囝囝而家好多嘴, 似足以前個需工人, 少少事都report比我聽, 而家個工人成日比佢蝦, 不過囝囝都好鍾意佢, 仲話要同佢get marry 喎, 真係笑死我, 有時佢唔聽工人話, 工人話唔同佢get marry, 佢就喊, 好好笑嫁.
  

下星期返學la, 準備好未.  卒知等到今日la. 大家都鬆一口氣了.

Felicia726

Thank you all for your responses. This is a good place to seek consultation and share some 'lo so'.
Yes, tomorrow is school day, everything to be back to normal. One thing that I don't like is that I have to wake up early again. If there is no school, I can sleep till 7:15 or 7:30 am, haha. I am so lazy.....
Wish that all children would go to school happily tomorrow.

ec822

oh... My son still doesn't want to wake up, even we sleep earlier yesterday.... still trying to ask him wake up for 1st day to school in 2007

How about u.

Wish all of them have great year start.

今日d小朋友笫一日返學, mavis好乖自動起

poonhui

mymavis,
今朝我帶亨亨返學, 佢例必要看看K1A班房側的魚池, 我又有機會見到MAVIS, 佢離遠巳同我揮手.  唉, 女仔心思真細密, MAVIS 好多時見我都會同我say hi!   而亨亨都係粗心大意, 未必好似女仔咁留意到周圍事情.  一味剩係掛住睇魚!:tongue:

alisoncheung

我有一件小趣事想同大家分享.

昨晚我同囝囝傾計, 由於佢廣東話唔係好正, 我就問佢, "你邊到鄉下嫁", 他回答說 "你邊到向上嫁".  佢由於唔明乜嘢係"鄉下" 佢以為我講"向下", 即刻笑死我.   

另外, 今日頭條真係好恐佈, 個6歲小妹妹真係死得好慘, 以前真係冇咁大感受, 做咗媽媽以後就唔同, 會特別留意有關小朋友d新聞.  自己都引以為戒.  我覺得做家長特別是媽咪, 真係好大壓力, 既要仔女開心成長, 又要確保佢安全成長, 真係想瞌吓眼瞓都唔敢, 同佢搭車時, 真係唔敢瞓, 而家d交通意外真係想都想唔到, 為了避免, 只好自己打醒十二分精神.

alisoncheung,

Tervor真攪笑, 我都忍唔住笑出來

昨日聽到新聞我都眼濕濕 小女孩真係可憐, 佢媽媽一定偒心死,  實會自責點解會攪成咁. 我唸一定有一段漫長漫長的日字要面對, 又或者永遠永遠都忘記唔到當日發生的事. 你講得好啱, 做咗媽媽之後先覺得好大責任, 一有錯失真係後悔終生. 希望佢哋一家人可以團結度過呢個難關, 千祈唔好再比呢件事破壞呢個家庭.               

poonhui

小女孩事件令人心傷, 無疑意外即係意外, 我聽了都好傷心!   
我有將這件事件同亨亨講, 教佢出街要拖實大人的手, 希望將危險意識灌輸俾佢.  同佢講那位小姐姐因為意外死亡, 其實佢看似明白又有少少疑惑 , 因死亡這個字對佢可能陌生一點, 所以我同佢講小姐姐以後都唔可以見到爸爸媽媽, 爸爸媽媽亦都唔可以見佢.  查實佢未必知係咩一回事, 不過, 希望佢收到道路安全信息, 記在腦海中............ :cry::cry:

HI, Happy New Year To You All !!

評估應就快到了, 大家知道確實日期嗎??
放完咁多日假期, 亞女有些中文字已唔認得啦!   

alisoncheung

乜唔係week 16 之後先做assessment咩.  好似仲有排喎, 放假係唔計數嫁.  我估應該一月尾做掛

Felicia726

I really don't know when the assessment will be. It seems that my daughter is still having fun in class and no revision is done recently. I agree with Alison that the assessment may be scheduled towards the end of January.
How come it's so quiet in this KV chatroom recently? Where are all the other mothers?

想問下女仔件冬天校服裙點洗,
乾洗定手洗?

poonhui

sinkiukiu,
我仔仔的校褲一路都係手洗, 無縮水無脫色, 隻料應該同女仔校裙料一樣.  
其實看校服個價錢都知佢地的料一定係係"大眾化", 預了家長可以濕洗, 加上小朋友蹦蹦跳好易弄污衣物.  如果下下乾洗就真係"妹仔大過主人"囉~      

FungMm

大家好,
好耐無同大家傾談tim... 因公司yearend和我上星期taken咗2日大假陪Keefe, 所以忙都不得了.   

在假期我們去了好多地方玩, 有HK disneyland, 金鍾嘉年華, Ocean Park, TST公園, 山頂&360攬車等.... 真係好開心同好累law.   

新一年祝願各大人,小朋友健健康康!!! 開開心心!!!

我用洗衣機都無事喎, 況且佢下年可能已經唔fit又要買過, 所以唔使錫住.
