Our new cleaner finally came(at 8am) today! And yes, she's Eng, a Korean(and she stays in Orchard, geez, hahaha...).
As Renee was still sleeping when she arrived, she started with the ironing first(which was actually the usual with the other cleaners anyway). When our dear girl finally woke up at ard 9:30am and walked out of the room in her dishevelled hair, Eng exclaimed "oh your girl is sooo cute!" and then she suddenly turned to me and asked "is your husband a Singaporean Chinese?". I said yes and asked her why and she said it's because Renee looks very much like a Japanese...

Although she didn't manage to clean up our windows(which I cleaned myself after she's left, as I couldn't stand it anymore hahaha but only briefly la, so still not 'clean' but more bearable) and some areas. When I asked her if she'd have time to clean up the windows next week, she told me to give her a few more weeks so that she could finish up all the 'un-cleaned' areas which our previous cleaner didn't do for us. She has requested for rubber gloves(and was surprised when she realised we didn't have any and the previous cleaners had never used them) but we only have the disposable ones and she made-do with them today. She's also insisted on the use of vacuum....
Before she left, she also mentioned to me that she's not used to our german mop and requested that she comes with the gloves, a mop(since the usual white colour 'hairy' mop which we kept aside isn't what she's referring to) and a different detergent to help us clear up the toilet 'dirt'. Well, I guess if it didn't cost too much and will let her do a really good job, then why not? Afterall, we're already paying abit more for her services...
I couldn't 'tahan' any further after I've showered Renee and so, after my quick lunch, I dozed off on the sofa whilst waiting for the laundry('cos I've stayed up late last nite for daddy's laundry and seeing that he's got more than1 wk's share of shirts, I ironed up the rest of mine, so that the cleaner won't have too much on her 1st day) but was woken up short while later by Renee, requesting to go pass urine and wasn't 'allowed' to continue....
