I Want To Follow You Kakak!!



When my maid left the house to go Raya shopping with my hubby's staff several days ago, Sherilyn was very upset. She kept screaming "I want to follow you kakak" and bawled till she almost puked. It freaked me out when I saw her choking and coughing and on the verge of puking. If she puked, nobody would be around to help me clean up the mess. For almost an hour, she sat on the floor sucking her thumb to give herself some solace, facing the front door and pulled open the sliding mosquito net door, waiting for kakak to come home. What a 'chai leong' (pathetic) scene, like a little girl being abandoned by her mummy.

I wonder how she will take it when the day comes when my maid has to return to Indonesia for good. And I wonder how she will react to her new kakak. Hopefully the new kakak will get along really well with the gals.

Jan and Leena.... sure they are adaptable. I was just testing the gals yesterday and told them that kakak will be going bk to Indon and will never come back again. They will get a new kakak soon. To my surprise, they just said "got new kakak? ahahahah......" and laughed it off as if it's going to be something really fun to look forward to! Kids!
