To celebrate this small "victory" of me surviving a year without a maid yet didn't go mad (in fact living happier with new found freedom & decided to make it a lifestyle choice), I designed a simple infographic to record how the gadgets and machines have replaced my maid (of course I have to acknowledge the contribution from my hubby & kids + part time domestic helpers who come in once a week)
I am so thankful for technologies. My hubby calls it "Automaidtion".
Long life all great inventors out there!!! （guess I can live longer too)
In fact, in order to fit the dishwasher into my kitchen, my hubby and I decided to renovate the kitchen and utilize the extra 5 feet of land. Some may thought we were crazy because there's no maid to help cleaning up the house during the renovation period.

My old kitchen.. or rather...my
maid's kitchen
Somehow it is a blessing in
disguise that my ex-maid cheated on me and never returned from the Philippines.

Times flies...those days of
playing "MASAK-MASAK" are over and now my kids are cooking REAL food. Last time the maid refused to let them "buat kacau" inside her kitchen. Now I give
them total freedom to cook & experiment with food. In life, what's more
important is passion and the willingness to try.

We got crazier... in the middle of the kitchen renovation, we decided to renovate the maid room cum piano room as well. Below was the result...

Instead of paying thousands to custom made a book shelf, we used back our old white Billy bookcase from Ikea
and added some new ones. It saves us lots of money :-)
I somehow thank my ex-maid for not coming back... it is a Blessing In Disguise indeed. If not we would not have the chance to enjoy what we are enjoying now.
Nothing is better than being self-reliant and not having a stranger at home.
