More Food Adventures: The Amazing Maid

Shop at More Food Adventures

A maid in Singapore once told me, as we sat side by side on the train, that she uses Google on her employer's refurbished laptop computers whenever she will cook something. I like the thought that the maid uses technology to make her work better. Looking for recipes here and there, and looking for ideas on how to manage a home. I later found out that she was a teacher from the Philippines and that, her salary as a maid in Singapore is even greater than the principal of the school she previously taught.. I was saddened a bit because I am a teacher too, and I asked her if she was made to choose between teaching and being a maid, she told me that being a maid in Singapore was better because she was relaxed and receives a bigger pay. Of course she missed her four kids and her husband.. Some sacrifices she had to pay.. Oh well, I think she and her family deserved better, and better does not mean living a perfect life..
