Maid Update
I just received an sms from the maid agency that the resaon for the delay is that MOM's computer system was down the past few days! As such, my maid's application cannot go through. Coincidences of all coincidences! Let the update go through today ....

Pre-School for Justyn
Which pre-school should I send Justyn to? That time of decision has come for me! It is between Pat's Schoolhouse or Little Big. Pat's is good but the price is better! Little Big is convenient as it is near where we are staying and the price is affordable for us. Hmm ... which should I go for?
Anyhow, I have put Justyn on the waitlist at Pat's. We will only know if his placing at Pat's is confirmed in July. Nowadays, it is really different. I know what it means to waitlist for your flights ... but waitlisted for pre-school??? Wow! We are really living in very progressive age and time.

One Month Anniversary
Today marks my ONE month aniversary of being "maid-less"! Time really flies. What seemed like an impossible and daunting task initially turned out to be POSSIBLE! But I must say that it is really tiring physically.
A normal day routine without a maid will go somewhat like this:
Wake up-prepare Justyn's milk-washing and sterilizing of milk bottles-bathing Justyn-go to Suntec-go home-bathe Justyn-wash Justyn's clothes-wash milk bottles etc etc ... basically it is one task following the next ... tiring spelt with a CAPTIAL "T".
But I am truly thankful for my in-laws for standing in the gap to help look after Justyn. If not for my mother-in-law, Chong and I will be totally wiped out!
This search for a maid is something that is simple yet complicated. First choice was not suitable and hence was sent back to the agent. The 2nd arrived into Singapore but failed her medical test as she was found to be pregnant! The 3rd is still in the midst of processing ... waiting for MOM to approve her permit.
May I bring you good news of the arrival of Maid #3 soon!
