Newspaper phobia

Ever heard before? Now you do. This is my employer later habit. Remember the Malaysian health minister's scandal? Mr Chua suak leng? When the time his "sex activity" was recorded and sold for free, me and Jojo followed the story from the newspaper. Sometime I need to explained to her what the meaning of betrayal and trust, sex and morality. And to make it easier for her to understand I used her mother relationship with her married boyfriend as example. Anyway Jojo is already 10 years old.

And when one upon the night, she told the mother about the Chua Suak leng's story with clear, her mother look so surprise and worry. I think she never guess that Jojo will ever care to read the newspaper, because as her knowing, Jojo was never like read. But she did. She asked her mother " Ma, you know or not that actually Chua suak leng already have a wife and children. And she have S E X with his girlfriend, someone record it and then they sold it out. And now...he got fired!"

"Where you got it?"

"From newspaper. And you know, if already married can't have girlfriend or boyfriend. That's bad. It's called betray...."

"How do you know?"

"Mey told me..!"

O..O I'm in trouble.....

"Stop read newspaper! Read your text book!" scold her mother.

"Why? Can't read newspaper, mah?" challenge Jojo. No answer from her mother. The conversations stop till there. But the actions start in the next morning.

I always read the newspaper when all my chorus done. But since that day I can't do my routine because my mom brought the newspaper to office. I guess it because of the Chua Suak Leng incident. She got newspaper phobia. Poor me..can't read news again.

Why Taking Maid from Indonesia So Expensive

Because we need to stay in hostel until the proses recruitment done. It' can be 2, 3 or 4 month. Depend how fast we get an employer and the calling visa out. During that time, the teach us how to do the housework like ironing, mopping, use electronic device, take care baby, take care an elderly..etc. We can't go home, even go out from the hostel is forbiden. We have to stay there until the time to embark to the country destination.
It's very bored and not fun at all. It's like we stay in militer barack. We sleep on the floor, use very thin mat. One big room size 6x7 used to accomodate 40-50 people. Everything do together, bath, eat, sleep...no privacy. And everytime we did some thing not right, they will angry and shout with use words that you will never imagine.
Don't ask about what we eat everyday, as long as can get rice and Vege is enough already. That's why don't surprise if your new maid look so skiny, sick and confused.
When first time I came to my employer house, also very skiny. Some more I only stayed for 2 month in the hostel. But because it's my first, I bit confused, scared and stress.
When decided to work as maid, I didn't know that I have to endure such thing. I guessed I only need a pasport, buy ticket, stay 1-2 days in hostel..and then gone. But it's not like that, it's far from what I imagine.
You have to know, not all maid come from poor family. Some of them don't even need money, they just curious...and..how to say..ya...?Bored with their live. Like me. Before being a maid, I was working in EXIM company, before that I worked as cashier in hypermarket, before that I worked in Oil Refinary company as QC, before that... as I remember every years I change job..I just didn't know what I want...until I come to malaysia 5 years ago.
My salary at that time was 380 with 5 month deductions.
I'll continue later... I need to cook for my Mom...( employer) she'll be back soon!
