Diary of an OFW in Macau

Day 28 at work - All Saints Day not a holiday in Macau

November 1, 2023

12:34 noon - I got over my pain yesterday. Today I didn't feel any of it. Hoping it will not return. Mom said she offer a prayer. I'm a big believer of such so it might have worked. I also didn't eat the shrimp last night. I should avoid seafood for a while. That's when I realize why people here don't use much salt in their food. Cause they eat seafood which is abundant with salt. Hehe. I'm not sure but seafood is abundant with sulfur. So it would cause constipation. So I should avoid it. Maybe eat once in a while. Also the meat. I want to cook it more until crisp. Next time. I will really cook my food til its thoroughly cooked. Not medium rare. I like mine cooked property thank you. Oh. There goes my fart. It long and sharp. Smell rotten egg as usual. This means my diet is full of sulfur. This morning I started early and came across the father and son lazing on the couch. I thought they all left but the two are laying there. I disturb them. Oops. I usually wait til 8:30 to start cleaning but today I felt the need to start right away so I did at 8:10. I went to get the plates but that's when I saw the two. I had a date on my mouth and got startled to see the two. The father seem still sleepy. After I took the plate and cup of the teen I went to open the curtains and window of the rooms. I also had to change the sheets and pillow cases for the teens room. That give me ample time. The father notice me and instantly woke up. Nagging his son to depart. Aiya, sorry you have to wake up early. Winsy used to do the job of waking the kid which might be quite the ordeal. Hehe. Must be hard on the couple. I'm guessing their age. If the eldest is 20 then the couples should be around 38 up. If the wife got pregnant at 18. But if they start late then the couple would be around mid 40s. Since they are still both working and retirement age is 60s. I'm not actually sure if they have retirement for elders here in Macau. Anty is 50+ so the couple should be around that age too?!

8:48 pm - the mother isnt home yet. So even if I'm done I still don't close my door. Cause the kid is at the sala. But while in my room I tried to pry the tartar on my front lower teeth. Gosh. It came out. And then I tried again. I got the ones at my 2 front most. But it feels off. It's raggedy sharp edges. I try to smooth the lines but I can't remove any tartar anymore. This needs medical intervention. I need a dental cleaning. But it might be too expensive here in Macau. Ah, theqq feeling of having removed tartar isaa Qatar great. I missed it. Ah, but the tartar has black sides. As if decaying tooth. But I checked on the mirror and my front teeth are okay. For how long I don't know. Ah. This is worrisome. I seem to have a blackening tooth upfront. But when I check against the light it's the gum part. The tartar is blackening. Aigoo. What to do?! I really want to go to a dental clinic but I can't afford it. Hopefully my teeth hold on til next year. This Christmas I surely will not have a vacation. Its decided. My employers can't have no maid. One must stay with them. That's what Winsy said. Although I don't know if that will also apply now. I mean the kids are grown up. Maybe back then when the kids are still going but the youngest is 9 years old. They can survive. Maybe😋
