Its confirmed

We picked our new amah this weekend.

The current amah is on her way out of the door, and out of Brunei. Not that she is bad and cant do housework. But its more to her attitude. She should be more respectful and know her limit and boundries. I am not asking for her to behave like a slave but a little respect will do.

The new amah will be coming within the next month or so. We've chosen a woman called Kasiah. Out of all the biodatas we received thus far, this is the one we prefer most. She looked ok, clean face and wearing tudong. Not that it means anything since sometimes they were ASKED to wear tudong for camera. But we are following our instinct so i hope we are choosing the right one.

Of course its not easy to choose someone to work for you from a picture and a biodata. I wish we could see her face to face and conduct a bit of an interview. But its not practical to bring her over from Indonesia just to do this so we have to make do with the picture and biodata only.

We deposited the money yesterday to the employment agency, signed all the paperwork and decide on the tentative date of her arrival and the departure of the current amah. So all is good and in working order.

Went to Excapade for dinner last night, our usual favourite place to go Japanese. Hubby cant resist the special promotion of 30% discount for platinum card holder and i never say no to a good meal hehehe.... As usual Excapade's was packed but we still got a good table. So no problem there. I will upload some pictures later.
