What a day!

Hubby and I were not working on Friday 26 January to send Yani off.

Yati wasn't well even though the doctor felt she was alright as there was no pain at her abdominal. He said it probably was something she ate or plainly an "emotional" thing, ie "magnifying" one's pain/agony.

We discussed with Yani about Yati's performance and if she were comfortable letting Yati mind Raeyen alone after she leaves Singapore. Yani was apprehensive at first but her honesty helped with our decision to send Yati back to the agency.

After fetching Kieran from the Kindergarten, we left (without Yati) for the airport. Yani said to me, "I like Raeyen very much."

As we arrived at the airport, Kieran handed his letter to Yani. She opened, read the letter and realised we also left her a bracelet. She said thank you and told Kieran that she will miss him and Raeyen.

As she went into Immigration, Kieran whinned, "Mommy, I want Yani kak-kak to stay."

It wasn't as emotional but definitely it was a pity Yani didn't want to stay.

We dropped the kids at Connie's place so that we could send Yati back to the agency.

At the agency, we selected another maid, Triana, who has 2 years experience in Malaysia, working for a Chinese family with 2 kids. Hope this one is OK.

In the evening, Yani SMS me that she has arrived in Jakarta safely and she missed the kids very much. I called her and Kieran asked if she would be back soon.

Today, we sent 2 maids away... but in 2 different emotions.
