Just My Rants..

Just learnt to cook fried rice from the maid. Seems quite simple, just throw in everything and cook. Was quite pissed off with Apple's attitude just now. I think she believes she is a queen!!!

Firstly, some background.. Apple doesn't like the maid here. She said the maid is stupid and you can always hear her scolding the maid. She also said that the maid is lazy and dirty. Infact, she said that the people here are all dirty-looking and looks like they haven't bathed for days. To me, yup, they dun look that clean but come on lah? This is not exactly a first-world country and most of these people are poor and some of them may not even be able to eat good food the way you eat. What do you expect? I think she probably thinks she is the cleanest person in this world. She even thinks my piggy is dirty! Damn pissed with her. She mentioned before that once she lent her nail clipper to Piggy and he used it to cut his toe nails. So she doesn't want the nail clipper anymore!! Then Piggy said, "So she doesn't use the nail clipper to cut her toe nails lah?"

Apple also said that Piggy always went around eating with his colleagues and was not afraid to eat all sorts of funny things everywhere...she seemed to be implying that Piggy was not very concerned with hygiene or cleanliness. Not that he is not particular, of course, he doesn't purposely go and eat food that will make him sick but he isn't a picky person so I know that he won't complain just because the place he is eating in isn't Sheraton or Omni Hotel. She thinks Piggy is queen like her, is it?

Anyway, back to the maid. To me, I think she is ok. Although you can't say she is the most efficient maid in the world but I feel that she is ok, does her work and best of all, she can speak Chinese. Somemore, when I ask her to bring me around or teach me how to cook, she also willingly did so and even bought the ingredients for me. Anyway, what happened just now was that I offered Apple some of the fried rice which the maid had cooked. Then she gave me that look and said something like "Eee, I don't want to eat her food. If you dun mind, you can eat. It's very dirty." Then I looked at her and said "Is it? I think it's ok leh." And began to eat. Cuz I was the one who washed the meat and vege and prawns and seasoned the stuff. The maid only taught me the order to put the things in. Like this also considered dirty? She thinks she is some queen man, can only eat food at high-class hotels is it?

Somemore, she is very wasteful. Everytime, buy things which she never cooks and put in the fridge and after a few days, she will ask the maid to throw them away. I m not saying you should keep spoilt food, but just that if you have no intention of using them, then dun buy them in the first place!Although she is leading a comfortable life, she shouldn't think that money drops from the sky! Then yesterday, she was telling me that she wanted to go and boast to her adopted sister that she is going to Australia. She also said that her adopted sis only earned $200 a month although she is working in a hospital, gynaelogical department and her tone was as if taunting her. She said that if she had chosen another path, she would probably have ended up the same as her adopted sis, working in the hospital. I really dun see her point. So you see people so poor thing, cannot afford to travel and you, being able to travel and spend money as you wish, wanna go rub salt on their wound by boasting to them? I think the first thing she needs to do is to start appreciating the things around her and quit complaining before she talks about boasting to other people.

Somemore, she everytime boast about her cooking skills and how much Piggy's bro likes her food. As if she cooks that often now. Eversince I m here, I can count with my fingers how many times she cooked and every single time that she did, she complained about cooking, about the kitchen, about the heat, about how troublesome it is and this and that and just about everything else. If she is so unhappy cooking, then dun cook and quit complaining lah! It's not as if the food she cooks is very nice. Somemore, say Piggy don't really eat her food as if implying he doesn't know how to appreciate her cooking. Looking at it simply, Piggy doesn't eat it cuz he doesn't like the food and why? Cuz it isn't all that nice..
