"To work or to be at home... that is the question".
It has been a long and tiring month for me and the kids as well. It all started on the 18th of April when my maid took leave to go home for her sister's wedding. She was supposed to take 1 week leave and it turned out to be a 'forever' leave. Since that, I had to juggle between home and work. That was the time when all leaves were frozen because it was exam week. (3 weeks). Luckly, hubby was still on leave. But came 30th April, he had to leave for Jakarta (planned much earlier, thanks to airasia). So, I decided to leave too... leave for penang on the 1st of May till the 4th of May. What a relieve it was to have home cooked food and no house work. At the end of the 3 days, I decided to leave daniel and delailah with their Tok Wan till the 8th of May (Azhar picked them up). Imagine me, deena and dinie in KK. I had meetings and markings to attend. There were days when they came home to an empty house.

Now, my life is back to normal since the 6th of May when my previous maid. My maid was with me since dinie was 6 months until mid 2007 when dinie was 6 years old. She didn't want to follow me to KL. Now she is back after I paid her present boss for her 'release'.

Susahnya being a wife, mother and a career woman at the same time.... However - no regrets!!!
