i was happily chatting with min and michelle about going for a job interview and den to arab street and telling them that my maid disappeared yesterday morning and only came home in the evening and den, i realised that the maid is packing her bag and this time, she was so scheming. she crept to the door thinking i can't hear her opening main door and gate and attempted to run.
i was shocked.
so without bra and slippers, i caught hold of her and asked her what happened. what she want to do, whether anything happened back in indonesia. she say no and started screaming and my indian neighbour came out and saw me trying to stop her from moving towards the lift. and i guess i look pathetic enough that my usually not so friendly neighbour decided to help. so the lady asked her what happened and the maid just kept only saying that she want to go home and den the lady asked her brother to talk to her and she just kept on saying that she want to go home. and den the maid decided to make an attempt to run towards the stairs and seriously i couldn't stop her anymore cos she pushed me aside once and it bruised my arm and so i just kept running by her side, asking her what happened. that if she dun talk to me, i will not be able to help her. and she kept walking towards her "sister's" house. and i kept following without any bra and slippers.
so embarrassing.
so den we reached her "sister's" place and den i asked the lady whether she is really her sister and den she gave me a weird look and said "no lah". and den she refused to follow me home so that my mummy can send her back to the agency and so i started talking to her friend. a very nice girl. she told me that she dunno what is wrong with the maid also cos the maid has been acting weirdly since yesterday and had been bugging her at her house. she told me that the maid is possessed. den she giggled, saying she's joking. not funny leh. i get scared easily.
since she refused to return home with me, i told the maid's friend keep a lookout for me to make sure that the maid does not run away from her house and i'll go home and get my mummy. thank god mummy got home the moment i got back, cos i called her when i saw the maid packing up. den mummy followed me to the maid's friend's place and tried talking to her. this whole saga started at 1pm and i left the scene at 4pm and my mummy just home at 10pm from the indonesian embassy. during the time when i was there, my mum called the maid agency, the embassy and the police. all did not move her at all. she insisted on going back to indonesia but refused to move from her friend's place and den intermitteny said that she want to stay at her frined's place, den her friend say that the maid is not her friend anymore cos she dun want to get into trouble. and it was the maid's friend who told me to call the police. i didn't want to to. cos if we were to do that den she will ot be able to work here anymore. but all of our patience were tested and stretched to the limit and finally, we called the police. i must say that the police force is freaking crap. it took them more den half an hour to get to the scene and i was so pissed that i told my mum in mandarin that if there's a fight going on, the victim would have died. and the maid's friend laughed. she understands mandarin, and i am impressed. not only that, she understands and speaks it and also fluent english and hokkien. so the police go there and talked to the maid telling the maid that it's her mistake to run away from home cos there is no abuse and nothing. the police talked till hey were pissed too and den told my mum that they cannot do anything cos she still has a work permit and the evil policemen told my mum that the other way is to cancel her permit straight away so that they can arrest her straight away as an illegal immigrant and she will be jailed for 6 months and depoted back to indonesia.sound cruel right. anyways, my kind mummy decided to give the maid a chance and asked the maid's friend to escort her to the embassy and all and my mum even gave her 500 bucks and bought her an air tix back to jakarta. goodness. so nice. if i were my mum, i would just leave her at the embassy and not give her anything for wasting my whole day chasing after her and appreciating what we have done for her for the past 1 year plus.
what a LOOOONNNGGG DAY!!!!
thank god she's at the embassy now. and my mummy still has to pick her up from the embassy tmr morning and send her to the airport. hope everthing goes smoothly tmr.
GOD BLESS US.
