Where’s our friend??
23 March 2007 by Two Crazy DogsOut of the blue, DB asked me:-
DB: We have not heard from Marial since that phone call?
Me: No news is good news for me.
DB: What do you mean? Don’t you want her here? (I know he was kidding me.)
Me: No news means she is not coming. (Yeah!!) Probably she can’t get a visa. It took me 3 tries to get a visa and the last was you had to make that phone call to speak to the consulate.
DB: What if she is able to get a visa and…?
Me: Well, she can be my housekeeper! Clean and cook for me and I will pay her which will be tax-free. How nice is that? In other words, I’m hiring an illegal worker!
I have no idea how she is going to get a work authorization from INS and without that, she cannot apply for a social security card before she can could start a job.
I’m not going to worry about it till we hear from her. Honestly, I don’t want a stranger living with us for long term. Short term, say a week or two, is fine. “Mah kwai fan”! (troublesome)

Aiya, strangers whom I do not know are so different from “chee kah yeen”. The latter is easier to handle plus don’t have to worry about work permit!!!!
