Spending Whole Week at Pekan Baru

I've spend my whole last week at my sis house in Pekan baru. Now, extended for another week.
Why? Pekan is so Hot. The air is so still that leaves barely move at all.

The reason is MEGAN. She loved spending her 'moved forward' holiday here because of her cousin, SF. They are not exactly playing together (errr only sometime) but his present mean a lot to her.
Her speaking skill is improving and with 'ko-ko' as her competitor, she's more eagerly to learn new things. And SF also happy to have friends to play wiith him, he even let 'mei-mei' use his favorite bolster and play with his favorite toys.

DS house is in Chevron Housing Complex because my BIO work there. The houses are big, huge... with even bigger garden/courtyard (will post the pics to share with you later)
Children can play and run as they like. Here, because the complex is near the forest, occasionally, you can see wild boar, monkeys, snakes. But usually, just variety of birds.
Living here, we're usually listen various sounds of birds and insects. Really... very peaceful here.

The only set back is WE DON"T HAVE MAID HERE!!! a.k.a DS doesn't has maid, so we must do all the house chores... tiring ... and also cooking. And there're so many CECAK!!!!!

Maid, usually can't stand working in this complex because the area are very quiet and they don't have gossiping friends, and my sis only want 1 maid to help her, so usually, sooner or later, the maid would felt lonely (although she slept on Spring Bed and has own TV in her room) and quit.
Really, I don't understand their minds( maids) these days (if they have any). My sis is very kind to them, not fussy and grumpy but of cause she demand honesty and diligent (who didn't??) and the salary is quite high also the food are good, if you, as maid, really want to work, isn't those are what you're looking for?

OK, back to reality, because I can't really cook and children still depend most of their nutrition from foods, DS handle the cooking department. I only help on cleaning department.
Spending another week here, meaning I must handle all my work from here, quite troublesome, and stressful but worth!

Nowadays maid don't like to stay at home and do work, they prefer to go out to work, can see more people and can have more gossip. Before this, my house got one maid, after she create much problem at hub's market, so they sent her home and let her be house-maid, after 3 months, she cannot stand, she just run away. :( Better life at home, but she want "bitter" life at market. hahahhaha
