Daddy has a habit of miss-calling me after work(so that I can estimate his return). Sometimes, Jesslyn would take the call but it is always cancelled before she could answer it. Few nights back, she answered the call again but this time, she accidentally called the house phone. Excitedly, she put down my handphone to pick up the other call. She said "Hello?" and waited a few seconds. Realising there was nobody on the other line, she replaced the receiver and quipped "I dont know?" Probably she was telling us that there was no 1 on the other line. She has an interesting slang which you can hear in the video above. Pay attention from the beginning.
Jesslyn shows her proficiency in the English language by using new words and 3word sentences everyday. She can also answer some questions in BM. The questions she understands include "Makan apa?" & "Anak siapa?" She herself can use about 20BM words which include habis, minum, apa?, makan, tidur, masak, tutup, duduk etc... However, very soon, the 2 have to start learning Cambodian as this maid is returning to Indonesia in 2 weeks time. I am really worried how they can communicate with a Cambodian who I heard are mostly English illiterate although their resume say otherwise. Mostly importantly, she must love kids and have patience. I am keeping my fingers crossed!
