Faith is my belief, Love is what I have received , Give is what I have learn, Blur is how I forget..... therefore by sharing, I hope I am able to gain feedback and at the same time open up the mind of others.... hopefully this can set them thinking and help them to find their own answers in their life.
It's been a busy week and weekend with work and this have to go on for the next 1 month. This is one great song to keep me going...
English Translation http://chloeplus.blogspot.com
Where did you go, the you who just passed me by and left? Are you doing fine, at a place without me by your side? Hoping you'll come back, the times I've waited for you I'll let it go now, I'll forget you now
The beautiful times we had, they're all memories now The tears I shed when I missed you like crazy Hoping you'll come back, time stood stagnant I'll let you go and leave now, goodbye
Couldn't you find it, the road that leads back to me? Should I wait a little while more, should I wait here a little longer? Hoping you'll come back, I waited all this while I'll let it go now, I'll end it for real
My love for you that I held on so tightly, is slowly dissipating The me that went crazy missing you, is gradually changing Hoping you'll come back, time has stood stagnant I should erase it all now, for real
My love, it ends right here, this never-ending yearning Stuck in my throat, I couldn't say it Those heartbreaking words of parting All my beautiful memories of you, it's leaving me right now
Like falling tears, my love is slowly dissipating The me that went crazy missing you, is gradually changing Hoping you'll come back, time stood stagnant I should erase it now, for real
Should erase it now, I should forget you now, goodbye
Sometimes when I am less busy...I have time to sit down and reflect the past...cos recently a friend say I am strong but this word was never in my dictionary. If I am strong today, it is through God.
I have blogged on some findings of myself last month which I am not too proud and will like to change. May the power of God be with me always and that I will be able to live my life in His image.
So let me blog this down for my future when I need to look back again...Always remember 1Peter 4:8 - 11
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen!
So now let me do what I do best....share....and this song for anyone out there.
休息是為了走更長的路...this is why I need a holiday every once in awhile 你就是我的旅途...Yes, I want to witness God's creation in every journey 都是因為你 我一直漫步...do not forget the flowers along the way
To all my friends from the past,present and future...
Maybe we will lost each other along the way but I have to Thank you for being there along the way, making this life journey wonderful and unforgettable.
Be course of your presence, I am able to live as I am Today!
Recently I have some surprising findings about myself:
1) I actually care about my home country....Singapore. I never thought much of my country and have no personal pride or even try to defend much when some people I met will criticize on my home country. But the recent event and happening to GE keep me stay up all night to catch the news. This really caught myself in surprise....
2) I am a lone traveler always in these recent years and I thought I will miss companionship....recently went for a short trip with my co-workers...this make me realize that I rather travel alone then stuck in a car or somewhere if the company is not right. Oh...and I prefer to travel with my guy gangs than gal gangs. They are more true and will display their likes and dislikes from their face...I really dislike pretenders and tired of their games. Maybe I am better off alone....hmmm.
3) Language barrier do make a difference. I ever thought of having a partner of different races but from the recent trip, I realize that I feel out of place when I am unable to communicate or understand in a conversation. This really gives me second thoughts about going into a relation with someone that I could have language barrier.
4) I totally cannot click with bimbos or people who only wants to look good and self-centered. All topics always revolve about them and no one else. They are really good with the big talks about caring for the less fortune but action speaks louder than words.
Which maid to choose? by Ming Lee Lim on Monday, April 25, 2011 at 5:16pm
I need your urgent advice about employing a maid. As a busy mother, I need someone reliable to help out at home.
My maid is from Profits Agency Pte (PAP) and she has worked for me for a long time. Her mother worked for my parents and did an excellent job, so I had faith in her. For several years her performance has been very good, but recently she has become arrogant and insensitive, and is making lots of mistakes.
For example:
1) She flooded my kitchen – she told me that the drain pipe has blocked (she was supposed to clear it once a month but didn’t). Then she assured me that it is very rare and won’t happen again in the near future. Guess what? It flooded again within a year!
2) She didn’t close a window and my terrier dog escaped. I was so worried cos he is dangerous and could bite lots of people. After the incident, she didn’t apologise and just shrugged her shoulders saying “What to do, it has happened.” Fortunately my neighbor found the dog and we locked it up again.
3) Without consulting me, she has been bringing in strangers for my house's maintenance work. She says they charge low wages and keep costs down, but they eat my food, make a lot of noise and rest on my bed. I think they even tried to seduce my husband. It stopped feeling like my home, more like a cheap hotel, and I don’t always want to come back at the end of the day.
4) When she first came to work for me, I instructed her to clean the different parts of the house at least once a week. But for some time she has stopped taking care of the bedrooms of PP and H; they are now dirty and messy. I asked why and she told me that the kids had been disobedient, so she was neglecting their bedrooms as a punishment (she has forgotten that she is paid to clean all the rooms).
Even though my maid has worked for me for many years and I value what she has done in the past, I think she is now getting complacent. Her attitude is imperious and dismissive. She ignores my comments and basically treats my feedback as "noise". I wrote to the agency about her behavior; they assured me that they are the best agency around and all their maids are “Commited to Serve” – but I think it is just rhetoric and I don’t see that in her actions. Her salary is much higher than maids in other countries, but the agency say this is to keep her honest and stop her moving to another employer. They say there is a limited supply of maids, and Singapore isn’t big enough for more than one good maid agency, so I should not trust their competitors.
I have to decide whether to renew my maid’s 5-year employment contract. When we discussed this she said that she is now part of a team, and if I want her I must also accept her friends doing part-time work for me. One friend is very inexperienced, can't do basic tasks or explain what she intends to do. I suspect that she is actually underage. When interviewed, she only seemed interested in her days-off and visiting Universal Studios. When she couldn't answer my questions she stomped her foot and exclaimed, "I don't know what to say!" But I am still expected to pay her a high salary.
Now there happen to be a few other maid agencies - Workhard Pte (WP), New Solutions Pte (NSP), Super Personnel Pte (SPP) and Star Domestica Pte (SDP) - that offered me some helpers who seem sincere, genuine and intelligent. They are keen to work, willing to assist me and have a good attitude. I know that they may take a bit of time to learn how everything works, but frankly I am inclined to give them a chance.
People say that the devil you know is better than one you don’t. But I feel that I can’t tahan my current maid anymore. Do you think I should sack my current maid and try out a new one? Appreciate your advice.
