Here I am...

I came back with my kids and maid on 1st July. I had to leave my dearest hubby earlier as my maid work permit in Malaysia expires on 5th July and the boys must start schooling as soon as possible.

I received an sms from my sister day before I departed from Penang. She told me that my house in Tampines is very dirty. I wasn’t expecting my tenant to keep it spick and span so I didn’t really bother to ask her how dirty it was until when I saw my house condition, I almost lose my mind.

My house was in a very YUCKY condition. The Indonesian Muslim couple that rented my house can live in a house that is in such a pathetic state!!!? The toilet was so dirty – I wonder how they ever had their ablutions, brush their teeth or doing their shitting business without even looking at the dirty taps, toilet bowl, toilet seat and the floor. Terrible! Someone had even vomited on the toilet door and they never even bother to wipe it. Unbelievable! My kitchen sink was so dirty, slimy with blackish stain and they don’t even bother to clean it while washing their dishes?? I definitely did not expect them to keep it spick and span but it would be reasonable enough to clean the obvious dirt or stain!!!

I’ve heard so much from friends and relatives about some foreigners that had rented their houses and never bother to take good care of the house. I can understand if they are single guys (but some guys can even do housework, for goodness sake) but I am talking about these Indonesian married couple and not singles from Philippines, India or China. The wife is a housewife and they just had their 2nd baby in February. Even though this is not their house but isn’t it a natural thing to do - keep the house clean. I don’t understand how they could come home to such a dirty house. The dirt and stains on my cabinets and toilets showed that they have never done any cleaning ever since they lived there. Such appalling mentality they have!!!

The house that I rented in Penang was very well-maintained. It does not matter if that was my house or not, rented or owned, it must be cleaned.

Luckily my maid and my sister’s maid did a very good job; cleaning and scrubbing the entire house. Even my niece refused to use the toilet. A 4 yr old child knows how dirty the toilet was!!! It took us 3 days to clean the house. And now, my house is a home again.

We are more or less settled down. My personal effects arrived on 4th July and everything has been cleared and arranged. Amirul and Azirul started school on 10th July 2006 at Tampines North Primary. They are settling well too. I have been shuttling them to school and it’s really taxing. I am trying to get used to all this but I guess I won’t be able to cope much longer. For the past few days, on the way home after sending Amirul to school, I had giddy spell and was shivering. I was praying so hard that I would not faint on the street. The moment I got home, I went straight to bed to rest. Starting next week, my maid will be the one fetching my boys. And me, I better call CGH to fix an appointment to see my Specialist again.
To all blogging friends that had voted for Ashraf for the Most Curious Kid Contest on Singaporemum.com, I would like to express my greatest gratitude for your votes and support. Thank you very very much!!!
