Among of hubs workers are two Bangladeshi guy, Amin and Bahrin. They are really hardworking and always look for the opportunity to do extra work. You see, extra work means extra salary. They both came to Malaysia for the sake of supporting their family back in Bangladesh.
Amin is really an extraordinary guy. He always call hubs on Saturday night just to offer his help with the house chores. So hubs is always let Amin to assist him with the housework like sweeping the lawn after hubs finished mow them, arranging the backyard storage area etc. He will get paid accordingly plus a lunch and solat stop at our home.
Early this month, hubs told us that Amin did extra job outside which outside is working as a security guard at night. So he often feel lethargic during the day and this affects his performance. Apparently, he needs extra extra money because his other sibling is pursuing a study back home and needs a financial aid. So hubs just advise him to be fair to the day work and manage himself accordingly.
I always pity him. According to hubs, he didn’t spend much of his salary, most of it will be sent to his family. He always recycles the same clothes and maybe he only has 2-3 pc to wear. I once saw him wore a slack while helping hubs with the lawn. Very improper attire but have to make do with whatever available. I always ask hubs to bring leftover from our breakfast to work and he will share the meal with Amin and he, being very grateful always thank us for that.
Yesterday, hubs told me that Amin had resigned, to work at Melaka which nearly doubled the salary but of course he gotta work day and night. He feels sad about this,sad of losing a friend and also a good staff. He needs to train a new person and it is tiresome.
Sarah, Sophia and Ali. You gotta to know how lucky you are, able to have and ask for almost anything from us. You don’t have to be apart from the family, have a proper place to shelter, enough food to fill up your tummy and the occasionally trip to the toy shop for your toys. Know that this might be temporary as we do not know what our future hold for us but always try to be grateful for whatever you have now. I know it is hard to be really grateful because we are human, and human has never enough. But by keeping yourself to the ground and look at those unfortunate one will help. May the gratefulness be with you.
