Yes, finally it's that day of the week where I'm will wake up with a smile. It's the beginning of the weekend and I don't need to drag myself off the bed.
Today, out of the regular routine, we hire a temporary maid to come and clean the place. It has been a while since we really clean the place due to busy schedule and tiring weekdays. The last thing that u wanna spend your weekend is to clean the place. I used to do that but now, I just feel too tired to do it.
Around 9 am she rang the door bell. She seems like a pleasant lady with a big smile. She start working on the place till 5 pm and she still insist to continue. Many times we told her, it's ok to do it next time but she insist to finish off what she has started.
In between, I had a couple of small chat with her. Apparently, she is a mother of 2 and now her kids are in Indonesia with her mum. Her husband left her for another woman. That is why she have to stay on here to earn some good for her family. She hope the her kids will be with her but it is not possible to raise them in Malaysia with the her earnings. I feel sad for her....
At times like this, it always make me think. I guess we can be as strong as anyone else as long as we allow ourselves to stretch beyond our imaginary limits. Like in her case, whether she likes it or not, she still need to do what it takes to earn a living for her family.
I really admire her strength and her will to fight. Guess in any situation, we should not be asking ourselves, is the a solution to this problem. The question that we should be asking ourselves is, how far are we willing to go to get what we want.....
