hardworking okie...i went ivle to forum...haaa... contemp soc on maids:
I think the main reason why maids are being treated as sub-human is that most Singaporean households that do hire maids see them as being different. They differ in nationality, level of skills and most importantly, level of education. These differences are substantial as we see them as being unable to achieve PR status (even if they want to), unable to work in higher skilled and higher paying jobs due to their family background and learning capabilities. We often label them as stupid when they cannot do their household chores well because (as many replies mentioned) we employ them simply for that purpose, and thus have a certain expectation. We believe that maid agencies are able to do their best in 'quality-checks' on their abilities before maids are being sent to work in homes. Similarly, we see an abundance of cases whereby maids are being abused simply because we see stereotype them as meek and weak women, and in worst cases, see them as products that are being exported for our own 'use'.
I feel that Singapore women are faced with a dilemma when they employ maids. On one hand, they hope that the maid can cope with all the household chores and keep up to her expectations. When relatives praise the maid when they visit the house, the employer will also feel proud because it seems as if she is the one who has 'taught' the maid to be so efficient, when in some cases it is actually not true. Conversely, employers do not want to pale in comparison with the maid where household chores are concerned. Some relatives might comment that maids are employed because the employer cannot cope with the household chores well. On the same note, women who employ maids also fear that their own children become too attached to their maids. I have seen cases where children refuse to be carried by their mothers and prefer to be taken care of by the maid.
Although my family does not employ a maid, my friends around me have always managed to make their maids a part of the family. They are treated just like an additional family member. When maids have to leave to return home, it feels just like sending a relative overseas.
Just some random thoughts. =)
new prod devt just to start a new post (dont even noe if it makes sense) on intellectual property for tags:
As I use the websites for blogger flickr and youtube, I was just wondering who first 'invented' the tag? I feel that it really does make organising more convenient. Information in the form of photos, blog posts and videos can be easily retrieved simply by typing the keyword (provided users don't use funky spelling for ordinary words).
[Satine:] I follow the night Can't stand the light When will I begin to live again
One day I'll fly away Leave all this to yesterday What more could your love do for me When will love be through with me Why live life from dream to dream And dread the day when dreaming ends
One day I'll fly away Leave all this to yesterday Why live life from dream to dream And dread the day when dreaming ends
One day I'll fly away Fly fly away...

You're a pro at going with the flow You love to kick back and take in everything life has to offer A total joy to be around, people crave your stability.
While you're totally laid back, you can have bouts of hyperactivity. Get into a project you love, and you won't stop until it's done You're passionate - just selective about your passions
You are elegant, withdrawn, and brilliant. Your mind is a weapon, able to solve any puzzle. You are also great at poking holes in arguments and common beliefs.
For you, comfort and calm are very important. You tend to thrive on your own and shrug off most affection. You prefer to protect your emotions and stay strong.
Your life is totally together, and you enjoy every day. And you don't need a quiz to tell you that! You know how to find pleasure in the little things... And even when life isn't so great, you have a good sense of perspective.
Even though you still may be young, you already feel like you've accomplished a lot in life. And you feel free to pave your own path now, and you're not even sure where it will take you. Maybe you'll pursue higher education in a subject you enjoy - or travel the world for a few years. Either way, you approach life with a relaxed, open attitude. And that will take you far!
You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch. Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes. You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them. You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be.
You're an expressive, offbeat blogger who tends to write about anything and everything. You tend to set blogging trends, and you're the most likely to write your own meme or survey. You are a bit distant though. Your blog is all about you - not what anyone else has to say.
juz kinda somewhat finished parts for the env tut due this fri...onli 10% and im typing like it was the 4k type essay to do then i can fly to play. not worth it! 1k min..areadi hit liao loh...then stil got qing'z part..feel abit lang fei...but! whatever...verbal diarrhoea is good...need it to last mi thru all my essays...im a TRAINED essay writer...and what is crazy is that u can play music and do ur work and juz filter out what the songs sae..juz listen to the music so it doesnt distract...fast ones are good! makes ur typing faster!
like the song im singing for the culture shock month alot...! thankew zhang pei! tho i doubt u get to see this. hoho. hope all goes well..i miss singing...i dowan study...i wan write song sing song and PLAY. and WORK. and watch many nice MOVIES cos i got video ezy membership! huhu.
being crazy lets me feel sane. hmm. being dead tells mi i am alive! ah the wonder of paradoxes and ironies. english studies minor dont plaeplae.
does anybody know of anything i can put on the blog side bar to tell of my everyday things to do..? machiam organiser la then show for each dae one..hmm..
You're both warm and practical. You're very driven, but you're also very well rounded. You tend to see both sides to every issue, and people consider you a natural diplomat.
Bah! You're hardly meat. But you are quite popular, and people aspire to taste like you. You're probably quite skinny and free of vices. Except letting people eat your eggs.
Jealous, paranoid, and possessive - deep down, your Scorpio will never trust you. And even if you are very trust worthy person, Scorpio's paranoia may drive you to act out.
Instead try dating: Aries, Gemini, Libra, or Sagittarius
