i miss going to terawih with my sister though. i really do! this week as i had to stay at home to look after Pah and with Milah talking when she's in a good mood, i got really happy when my brothers came back. someone else to talk, laugh and joke around with. now i know how mummy felt all these while being at home with no one to lepak2 and chill with. no wonder la she was so happy that i'm back home! i can't wait for it to be a full house again with all my siblings!
oh yeah, we finally got the maid today. oh how happy was Pah to have a person totally devoted to her. she loves to talk you see but she's now a bit senile. so she will repeat some stories, sentences over and over again. so at first can la layan but after a while...u know la. anyhoo i went downstairs to cook the rice at 2am just then and lo and behold they were still up! the bibik sleeps with her in the room and Pah insisted that she sleeps with her on the same single bed. the bibik obliged at first but then as Pah dozed off she moved to her spot on the floor (tilam la not that mean suruh org gaji tido atas lantai!). i think Pah woke up in a panic with no one next to her and she's been up since then talking and telling stories. you see we bought her a baby monitor before the bibik came so that when we're upstairs and she needs to go to the toilet we'll be able to hear her when she call. so i kinda eavesdropped on her conversation. she sounded so happy to have the bibik and now making the bibik her "best friend". u know i think we all did our best to take care of her and all, we all did lose our patience at some point or rather but everyone else esp mummy and daddy are tired from work and other commitments, so tak dpt la nak layan 24 jam. that bibik is getting paid and her sole responsibility is to take care of her. i know Pah doesn't realise this but i just hope that since bibik is giving her full attention, she will not start to think that we don't treat her as well.
mummy was very reluctant to take on another maid after the last one ran away. we've always been nice with our maids before. calling them "kakak" rather than ''bibik". provided hp for them, treated them nicely, siap boleh pergi outing ke kajang tuh during weekend sampai naik kepala. kadang2, two faced diorang ni. depan kitorang baik, when we're out of the house god knows what they're doing. i just hope this one doesn't give any trouble. she seemed ok but you never know! so i was told off when i called the maid "kakak". mummy sternly told me "call her bibik!". i guess with this we just have to show em whose boss!
ahhh the dramas! nih baru seminggu kat sini. tak start kerja lagi! sighhh...
oh well but again, just hearing kamilah playfully saying "ina gedikk" and to see her trying to socialise again (i made her ask at the counter for a plastic bag at McD, she went up and mumbled something shyly but the initiative is there!) confirms that it was the right decision to finally come home for good :)
physically being there for mummy when she wants to talk or rant is also another confirmation.
today daddy came home before friday prayers and he came to my room and borak2 with me :)
so many other reasons to say that it was a good decision.
okla almost 3 am, need to wake up in 2 hrs for sahur!
