Crazy!

What a day yesterday. Took the whole day off work to sort out the mess. Really really pissed me off. This women our previous amah agent to be, but not to be, drove us all crazy.
The story goes like this. We are in the midst of arranging our new amah with our new amah agent. All went well until he went to immigresen to apply for amah approval. Lo and behold, the immigresen people informed him that hubby's quota is now full. What the hell??? Our amah just left early this month and we dont have any amah at the moment. They told us there was already an amah under my hubby's quota by the name of Wartiah. We knew straight away who was the culprit! Using somebody else's quota is not cool man!
We tracked her down and she admitted that she put that amah name there, without telling us, and she said that amah was meant to be with us. Again, what the hell?? I thought we no longer deal with her after we cancelled our agreement and all the money returned?? How dare she put a new amah into hubby's quota without telling us. And the amah was now with her but of course we didnt want her. We didnt even see her biodata let alone chose her to be our new amah. So the amah must go since we can to cancel that quota and stick to our chosen one from our new agent.
It was really messy, we even went to the police to make a report, since she didnt turn out at first when we asked about the original letter from Immigresent. We need that letter before the cancellation can be made.
At last everything was settled at around 4pm. And the amah who was here without us knowing had to go back to Indonesia on the same day. She must be so frustrated and upset since she just came on saturday to find out that her employment has just been cancelled. All due to the good nature of this woman named Siti Sufinah, and her company called Syazmena Employment Agency.
We were lucky our new agent was there to help us out otherwise it might not be as smooth as we wanted it to be. We owe him big time. Thanks Haji.
So now the waiting began again. Looks like we are going to be "amahless" for another month or so. And in the meantime, my girl has to be on her own at home and I have to sort out all the housework all by myself, which seems to be ok for now. Lucky me we only a small family so its not too bad.
