2nd Earliest Post

You would probably have guessed that I woke up early today. Woke up or sleepless, take your pick. I had slept early the past few days (not by choice, by necessity to rest my back) and to be frank, noticed that my skin does appear to look better with sufficient sleep, thus, I told myself that I must sleep early (I slept at 12.30 yesterday, so much for calling it in early huh?). If vanity can not keep me in bed, nothing much will, I guess. So, I must choose to believe that I can sleep early and will do so, starting tonight, ehem..

Well, with sleep eluding me, what else to do but to play around with computer, that's how I discovered the comments thingy (the post earlier, the EARLIEST post I ever made). And just now, taking a break from surfing, I looked out the window and saw two of my neighbour's maids washing cars. It seemed to be a pre-requisite for being a maid, or having a maid. You are expected to wash car everyday.

One side of me sees the practicality to it but another side of me was like, hmm, that is very early. I guess the maids (most maids anyway) will have to wake up around 5.30 am? When at times, that is like, I have been to bed for less than 3 hours? At least, some bosses treat their maids nice, as another human.

Another side of me was like, ooww, come on, can't you let them sleep a bit later? I do come across some that don't treat them as human at all. I was like going to slap these employers silly, the maids have mother too you know.

I do know that a Stila Crazed Friend of mine will take strongly to this issue, if she is not too busy Stila-la-ing.  For myself, employing maid would be a luxury. Make no bones about it, it should be "quite affordable" but do I really need one? If I were to look at my wife, I guess, I pretty much need to get one to enlighten her home works. At the very least, she can sleep a little bit later by letting the maid get the kids readied for school. The silver lining would be the kids have their mom instead of maid. Beside, looking it through another lenses, it was nothing too heavy and then, I would have to put up with stranger in the house too. So, I have considered it for very long and at the moment, the "I want more privacy" side of me won.

But I think sooner or later, I would probably have to hire one, at least my car will see piped water everyday instead of once every six months!!! Don't get me wrong, I am the type of person who buy things to work for me, not buy things and then labour over it. Like washing car for instance. And I don't like to send my car to the cleaner every so often because the minute I sent them, it will rain. And don't get me wrong that I am the type who mistreated the maid by washing the cars everyday. Of course it doesn't have to be daily, what, water is free? The maid probably would and might die of boredom too because there is nothing much else to do if they were to work for us because when I really assessed it, there doesn't seemed to be much to do to really warrant a maid. Hmm, pros and cons, pros and cons. 

Anyway, HAPPY LABOUR DAY. It is 1st of May and for the first time, I think, I didn't sleep in for a public holiday. What a waste of day opportunity, huh?

Same time, I have agreed to give the staffs' an off day tomorrow, making it a long weekend, provided if there is any urgent matter, one two fellas will attend to it, which they agreed. Am I a good boss or am I a good boss? hehehe.

Hmm, I do seemed a bit chatty today, aint' I? Later, probably around 10.00 a.m, I would be going to a charity bazaar in Port Klang, charity for the handicapped children's home in Port Klang. Probably help up a bit, depending on how my back can hold up standing. If the weather gets too hot, I would probably leave earlier. I have agreed on "monetary contribution" but I thought, if I can help out else way, I might as well do. That's what you get when you mingled with all the charitable and kind people...you tend to become like them....

Later in the evening, would have to go to a neighbour's house, to discuss some issues pertaining to our place and clear off some accounts for money collected during our New Year's Eve Countdown Party and to be adjourned to a Steamboat Buffet Dinner. Honestly, my stomach must be wondering what's wrong with me, I seemed to be eating big meals this past few days, non-stop. I don't want to be yo-yo-ing between putting on and putting off weight, especially now that I can't exercise to burn off the calories. But in Malaysia, every meets always end in feasts. Ggrrhh....

Well, that pretty much concludes today croaking. I might have to go a lie down for a while now that I have hunched so long in front of the computer, the back seemed to be screaming, let me rest!!!!
