Cannot sense meh?? But I cannot anyhow scold ppl.....so only my hubby kena....haha... Oh then you more cham than me...not say i scare you, but you better hurry up ah....sending invites takes time too and some more RSVP also need time and some more planning seating arrangement also very tao tia one you know!!!

I learn from Fifi one...i fast learner.... Ya very stressed now leh....left only 3weeks more and I still haven't got anything prepared....my schedules still in process....my invitation cards still got a few havne't sent out......my mood becoming very bad these days....too much things to do and take care of....very stressed

I agree with the last sentence though..... Maybe phantom can put a chair in the corner for you??? hehehehe !!

ehh ah kat, you got me beri confused with the ones in red leh....should be opposite right?? When's your AD?? His housewarming on 9th Feb, my AD is on 3rd Feb, so my AD is BEFORE his housewarming lah ah nia... ehh phantom, dun be selfish...good stuff must share

hahaha......like driving??

wah u smart! ehh i thought your AD is before phantom's housewarming?? ehh...or I got it wrong?? Mine is before his housewarming so I can go there pig out!!!

she asked you go die?? hmm.....pardon me, but what kind of mother asks her daughter to go die on her wedding? It's too much.... Frankly speaking, 5888 is still alot....or you can do what TPY suggests....tell her one-time 5888 then no more allowance for her for the next few years since you need to slowly build up your finance again....and traditionally speaking, most ppl would not keep the full amount, at most take half of it and return the other half to the in-laws..i guess it's a polite gesture cos not selling daughter so accept as an yi si only...so far, i hven't heard of my friends' mums keeping all the ping jin. Those ang baos are meant for you, so you don't have to give to your mum, coupled with the fact that she is so nasty to you and demanded for 5888, there isn't any reason to give her the ang baos anymore....the ang baos are in your hands, just keep it.

haha...i just took a breather.... fifi, me no like kok zai...i only like pineapple tarts and bak kwa!

ehh dun make me laugh...i trying to control my laughter...wait my colleague think i siao

Eh fifi, you really very very naughty

Since you've already gotten to 5888, possible to negotiate for lower price with her? As for ang baos, by "all" ang baos, what are you referring to? Those jing cha ang baos?? I'm guessing that you couldn't be referring to the ang baos on dinner because u don't plan to hold it right? Outsiders always can offer you consolation and advice but the ultimate thing is how you plan to handle the situation because we are not in your shoes, so it's easy for us to give advice....i would suggest to speak nicely....if she wants to turn hysterical, let her be.....when she's finished and tired of her antics, then continue trying to talk nicely to her.....

Haiz...CNY coming I also cannot eat my beloved bak kwa and pineapple tarts cos my AD coming...cannot afford to put on weight now....wait gown cannot zip up i will cry...i can only stare at them lovingly...it's torturous...

But as long as I don't have to wake up early for work, I'm fine leh...heh heh heh..the price of not having to go to work....

hmm.....instalment's a good suggestion too...

Ya lor, we are no longer kids but unfortunately to our parents, we are still their little children so they treat us like little children too and wana chup one leg in everything....not that it's bad.... Ya I think remaining clear-headed is a very impt for open negotiation, when both parties are too hot-headed, nothing constructive can be done. cherlyn, you really need to have a nice talk with your mum, if ever she starts screaming and shouting, just let her be, but you must remain calm on your side. If she sees that you are unnerved by her antics, she would and just might probably stop all her nonsense and listen.

ahhh....what for?? I dun wana waste my weekend being sick at home....i cannot waste my weekends!! My precious...... I always hope that if i ever fall sick, i hope it to be a weekday...muahahahaha....choy choy...

Actually sounds like a good idea....give her one-time 8888 then tell her since u already forked out so much, you won't have any savings anymore and tell her because of this, you are currently in debt, so she accept the 8888, she won't get any more household money from you from then onwards.

trying to make us jealous har *yawn* feel like keng mc for a day......

Hi cherlyn, I empathise with you. Sometimes the biggest hurdle to cross is not the in-laws but our own parents. I've had a few issues with my mum and grandma over the wedding preps too, especially the guo da li stuff. I guess you just have to remain calm and talk to her nicely and explain that now that you are forking out all the money by yourself, you would sincerely appreciate that she not demand so much. You wouldn't want to end up in debt just because of this. If not, get your dad to talk to her or close relatives to talk some sense into her. I hope the headache will end soon for you

Morning morning! Finally the week has come to close.....still holiday mood sia....the past few weeks had been full of holidays then suddenly come back work a long stretch of 5 days seem like eternity man....
