I know I haven't been a frequent poster and I apologise profusely. Please watch this space for several new stories that I will publish in coming weeks. There is a prequel to T.H.Enerdly's marvelous Interview With Madame Nguyen, stories by Jackie J, the author of The Demise of Lady Charlotte Rhodes, as well as a lady-to-maid story of my own that is set in 1880s England.
Molly in Singapore. Part 1.
by Monica Graz
The female
flight attendant’s voice of the Singapore Airlines flight to Singapore woke me up
from a disturbed sleep.
“Ladies and
Gentlemen we are approaching Changi airport. We’ll be landing in 20 minutes. All
the non Singaporean nationals are required to complete the disembarkation card
provided.”
The
announcement brought back all my fears and worries and once more I felt the
familiar butterflies in my stomach.
I took out
of my handbag all my documents including my Filipino passport and I started
filling the card with a slightly trembling hand. Another big step down the
social ladder I thought, since I was about to enter this country as a Foreign
Domestic Worker, FDW for short. This time everything was going to be very real.
I was going to be employed as a maid and nanny in Singapore following all the
formalities and rules of this very strict and organized country.
