Language Part II







Well gosh. Is my face red. Apparently English is as difficult a language to master to the native Chinese speaker here in Singapore as Chinese is the to the native English speaker. And I poked fun...
I happened upon these signs recently - I was just tickled to death as one can surely imagine. I have heard all about the possibility that we would have a maid while in this lovely country. I hesitate, of course. No better morning than one spent dusting, I always say. But when I heard it was my civic duty, to support the economy and all that, I decided that once we are in a house I may just relent. But where to find just the right girl for me? Then I saw this sign! Imagine my glee. Lived in maids! And, happily for me, if the one we choose is just a little too lived in, I can request a free replacement. Oh. Happy. Day. I only hope the girl we find can make coffee in a sock and has mastered the art of runny, wet eggs.
Stay tuned.
