Maid Becomes Her

Lately lotsa stories about maids...can't live with them can't live without them. Stories in the newspaper, internet, blogs...Anyway, no I don't have a live-in maid, I use the hourly ones like Merry Maids...and this post is not about my maid, more like a conversation I had with my very nice neighbour (Ms T) last weekend :

me whilst drying clothes
Me : Cho Sun (Morning!), how are you? hows your baby?

Ms. T : Oh hello, cho sun. My baby is fine. Wah, so early you are out here drying your clothes.

Me : Yeah lor, have to cos otherwise, it will rain later in the afternoon. You just came back from breakfast?

Ms. T : Yeah, more like buy breakfast. Your baby leh, is she sleeping.

Me : Yeah, sleeping, then only can do house chores la.

Ms T : Yeah yeah...do so many things, like maid only (???)
