Different Strokes

Hubby's back over the weekend. Our Indonesian maid is extending her contract with us for another year, so he had to apply for her visa. She has been with us for three years now and has proven herself to be very responsible and reliable. I must admit that I'll be quite "lost" without her helping in the household chores, cooking and cleaning. As an incentive for her to keep up with the good work, hubby decided to increase her salary and bonus.

He flew back to Malacca on Sunday and Ruth's already missing her dad. But, she's also busy with her revision, as her end of the year exams will be held in two weeks' time. Hopefully, she will do better this round. A number of her friends are now sitting for their PMR examinations and she'll be facing hers next year.

Time really flies. In a little less than 3 months and we will be ushering in Year 2009. An exam year for Ruth. Sigh... sigh. But, that's the way forward.
