After all the scolding from my aunt about sleeping and doing stuffs in the master bedroom, guess what?! Yesterday afternoon, the maid went to sleep in the afternoon again. Try to guess where she sleep. Another room? No! Living room? No? Kitchen? YES!!!
She did not dozed of in sitting position. She simply just lie down on her back to sleep on the floor in the kitchen in front of the long cabinet. She even came prepare with what we think is a big white towel. She laid that on the floor and she slept on it. She really fall asleep and didn't even realized that I was out of my study room. Once I even saw her toss and turn and her body faced the cabinet. Whoever who don't know will sure think we 'nie dai' her.
My mum was pretty upset at the sight. And asked why I never took photo of it. I told her I don't want to in case the maid somehow got the photo and claimed that we 'nie dai'. She is very good at pushing blame.
Somemore, I told my mum that we need to clarify some facts with my aunt. My aunt told us not to let the maid take afternoon nap as she would not be able to fall asleep at night and will switch on the light and do don't know what which caused more consumption of electricity. If my aunt told the maid that she could not take any nap, then, she does it secretly. Then she is at fault. If my aunt just told her what my mum said, no sleeping in the bedroom and on the sofa, maybe she does not know where she could sleep and thus went to the kitchen. Then we will be at fault.
After checking with my aunt, it turned that my aunt told her no sleeping in the bedroom and sofa, no sleeping in the afternoon but she could sit down and close her eyes to take a short rest, and told her not to stay in the bedroom after my cousin had fallen asleep. So the maid secretly take her afternoon nap.
I don't know if I should admire the courage of the maid or what. As an individual who is far away from home (country & families), she could still fall asleep so easily and at ease. Furthermore, she is a female. It's true that when she is at my house, only got my mum, my cousin and I around. Other than my young cousin, there is no guy around. But does she have to be so at ease and relax? Aren't she know that it is very the 'nan kan' to be able to sleep anywhere even lying on her back on the kitchen floor.
Yesterday when she came over, when my mum was around, she would take a damp cloths and wipe here and there. Once my mum brought the elder cousin to school, she stopped doing and get the youngest to go to sleep. And when my mum got back and went to take her nap (finally in her own room), the maid also went to take her nap secretly. Then after the sleep she got in the afternoon, she could not get to sleep at night and would switch on the light. This is so crazy...
